Rising Of The Shield Hero's Raphtalia In A Alternative Clothing/swimsuit, Haven't Done Characters For

Group 3 I need to ad Umlauts so that the Names get across, also should build out there character sheets. Ideas for a later date....

More "Realistic" paintings for Portfolio, The hands are messed up for a reason other than I'm bat at doing hands. On the battlefield you’ll be lucky if you loose just a finger or get a minor infection.

I'm Isekai trash, what else is new? She is Theresia from World's Strongest Rearguard: The Novice Seeker of Labyrinth Country. Its not a overly great or inventive series by any measure but it does have some interesting ideas, namely that everyone else is also from earth. And how death in this world works, some time when you die you become a demi-human as it strips away your humanity, so the stakes both get higher and lower with the threat of death.

Mtg Dreamcast Cards Ramble

As a follow up to my last ramblings, why don't we have the rest of the Magic: the Gathering Dreamcast Game's Cards? We probably will with Velukan Dragon's printing in Mystery Booster 2, and Arden Angel in a Secret Lair Drop they will probably be chase cards in seclusive and elusive ways, only time will tell. They were turned into using D6's instead of D4's, but still.

I don't know how the Random Basic land selection of Camato Scout and Lydari Druid would work, may have to make them Acorn/Silver Boarder in a similar vain to Erza's Head, but the rest?

Tornellan Protector would need to be bumped up to a D4, even then it's underpowered?

Saji's Torrent needs to be bumped down to a D4, Imagen tapping at Instant speed up to 6 creatures for two mana.

Hapato's Might need to be a D6, No one would play a card where you pay 3 mana for a chance at getting +4/+0

Murgish Cemetery is already over costed, so D6 +1 to get it descent.

Ashuza's Breath should be a coin flip in order to do at least 1 damage to every creature, including your own.

I don't know how you would even do Lydari Elephant with it's choose effect, 2D6 +1 where the roll cannot be under 3?

With Alexandria's long life I wonder what sort of misadventures she had gotten up to, maybe spending some time in Kurgess' domain?

Arrival to unknown shores, Distant land with sandy floors, What shall they find in the land of Blood & Wine? Some this are meant to be left behind.

A short story that came to mind after writing the above:

"You wright historical Victorian supernatural murder mystery novels?" I asked, the woman could have been a double for Clara Bow, wearing a real fir coat as she sat at her typewriter.

"To me they weren't historical, but yes, I do." Her voice smooth and seductive, a voce that was confusingly half stereotypical British half vaguely eastern European accent that reminded me of a prowling large cat.

"So due to your vampiric abilities you are able to publish all of these in a year." I stated, the abilities to not get tired was a heck of a thing, then again getting up at six everyday and going to bed dam-near midnight for years was probably more soul crushing than having no soul.

Confused she stopped her work, turning her head "What? God no, I get one done about a year, writing is hard."

"Huuuu..?? You put out 12 full lenght novels last year, any you have for the last 10 years?" I stammered out, that cant be right, your a vampire, you didn't have to worry about making money, having to commute to your work, or cleaning your neo-gothic mansion thanks to your butler.

"Those? Those are just the backlog, not a who lot else to do when your trapped under a collapse consecrated burial ground." She stated going back to work, her finger movements slower, her face scrunching trying to decide on the next word.

"?????"

"I don't know how others are able to do it, Sometimes I wonder if they are actually human, Its like saying that humans have made it to the moon." She said half compilated.

A long moment of stunned silence passed with the occasional ticking of keys, my brain slowly began to reboot. Stupidly the first thing out of my mouth was "… We have… 50 years ago.."

Whipping her head around I could hear the sonic crash as she looked at me as a Deer would look at headlights. "YOU WHAT? I thought that was all Science fiction, Why haven't I herd about this!?" she all but screamed

"We… we left.." I stammered out, stunned by they statement

Slowly blinking, she took a shawl breath that she didn't need to, "You.. Left?.. Why?" She asked, looking about half a mind to jump at me if I didn't answer.

"We.. As in older folks with more power, decided that it wasn't worth the cost, you know the old 'Why should we spend money on useless things when there are people in need here?" I said, the stupid statement, not that the statement was stupid but it was true and that was what was stupid, mostly because that money was embezzled by nameless government alphabet soup.

"So you didn't encounter monsters from beyond the stars?" She asked

"No, Aliens don't… Scratch that, they probably do exist, Vampire & Fae exist, probably do aliens." he said with the new found perspective of 'Yah, its real alright'

"Fae don't exist, what sort of lune do you take me for?" She stated incredulity with the upmost confidence turning back to her work Looking over at the obviously Brownie butler, they look back with a smile only a devil or a used car salesman could have, "I have a job, and she's none the wiser." they said with a shrug of 'What are you going to do. "Would you like tea?"

A Idea that came to mind while reading vampire folklore & Tumbler head-cannon posts, Vampire are usually obsessive, be that at people or things. And we have the trope of them twisting things into grotesque version of there previous interests, such as using blood to paint or twisting human bodies into monstrous statues. What happens to vampire who have more mundane interests/hobbies? What happens when a thousand year old vampire obsessed with candle making do? (Well besides start using a multitude of human bodies as the bace for the candles), Would they do shit like taking ten years to mold & carve a decretive candle in the shape of hyperrealist animal only to toss it into a pile of other previous attempts at a slight flaw?

And that is assuming there hobby is creative, what if the fang barer had something like physical exercise? "Ok, I have my jog around Europe all planed out, It will take three months, ill get back just in time to start laundry, have a quick snack before Elizbeth show's up". I know that they cant cross running water & the sea has a lot of salt so they cant exactly do a "Swimming across the English channel" but between the tips of South America & Africa, but still what sort of cray shit would they get up to?

Then again on the other side, how lazy & bad can they get. The 'I can do it later' mentality but when you have a near endless immoral life you can put stuff off for decades. Imagen trying to get the money for a commission you started in the early 1800's only to find that the entire bloodline is dead, and having to track down any connection, and the only living blood descendent is some HVAC technician living out in nowhere Ohio who knows nothing of his family history other than he was adopted & now has to try and convenes this Vampire that 1)he doesn't want it. 2) cant afford it, and 3) has no room for it in his shack of a house.

Fanart of @RakkuGuy's Character Coal, This is yet another thing on the long list of reasons you don't leave a Kobold alone.

MTG Ramblings Split Cards & Remixes

Split cards, originally designed for 'Unglued 2' but appearing in the game during 'Invasion block', are an odd mechanic, as they aren't really a mechanic, but simply wo cards printed side by side on one physical card. They give players a choice on what to use there cards for, a better version of this would be the Spree mechanic from 'Outlaws of Thunder Junction'. They have had new mechanics of there own added to them thought the years, most notable the Fuse mechanic allowing both sides to be played at one, or the After math mechanic that allowed one half to be only cast from the Graveyard, and now becoming enchantments with the Rooms in Dustmourn. These are not what I want to talk about today, what I want to tank about is them not remixing the cards.

Each side of a split card is a card in and of itself, so reprints can happen and should happen, yes by todays standers the mechanic is slow but it still has the possibility of being used. The names of split cards are that of '_&_' or ' _to_', but whit what limited split cards we have there are still a few that can be put into this system. Take 'Failure' from 'Failure to Comply' & 'Market' from 'Farm to Market', combining them will have 'Failure to Market', while not as pithy as the former two still works, both mechanically & in color combination. Or have 'Hide' from 'Hide & Seek' and 'Run' from 'Hit & Run' to get 'Run & Hide', both are from multicolor card, one ally one enemy color on each side, but as a single wedge color the card can still work, is it vastly overcoated? Yes, but the possibilities is still there.

And that's not touching on any cards not in a split card that could be put into one, as long as it isn't overly wordy, I had thought of the Split card 'Flourish' from Flower & Flourish' and the lone card 'Thrive' to make 'Flourish & Thrive'.

The following card images are meant for Illustration purposes of my idea:
