Utterly Obsessed With This Right Now

Mother Whale's Funeral

Your efforts were valiant, if futile.

Were there any extraneous scenes that you considered putting in the new Hellbent video but ultimately cut? If they're not spoiler-y, care to tell us a couple?

Unfortunately Muppet vivi didn’t make the final cut, but I want you all to know that I tried.

I saw that you include Quigley in your work sometimes. The problematic decision to include Quigley in a story is a personal one, and it is ultimately up to the creator to determine whether it is necessary in the context of the story. But do you consider the potential harm of Quigley on the audience and on the overall message or themes of the work? . The use of Quigley in a non educational manner can cause emotional distress or offend the audience. It's not an advisable practice.

Nobody cares about My DnD stuff but here I am, posting about it again...

I name all of my DnD sessions, because whatever, that’s just what I do. Please enjoy (or don’t) the sessions that my players have played so far:

1) The Hook

Named because it was the hook of the story and also because the city they were in was called The Hook. Pretty simple. The Monk ripped out one guy’s throat.

2) A Serious Sea Side-Quest

They got attacked by a sea serpent. That’s it.

3) We’re All Rogues Today

They all broke into a house. The Rogue’s kinda the party-leader so there’s a lot of that.

4) Community (college)

They were supposed to go to college. They broke into more houses instead. Rogue’s idea again. The Monk suggested they just kidnap the target, but she was outvoted.

5) We’re Stopping a Coup…I Guess

It had nothing to do with why they were there but they ended up stopping it anyway. This is also the session where they split the party. Three ways. The Bard almost died. 

6) Let’s NOT Insult the All-Powerful Sea Dragon

The Rogue insulted the all-powerful Sea Dragon. In his defense, the Monk did it first, although it was accidental. He did it on purpose. This is also the session when the Ranger was introduced to the party.

7) There Was Bound to be Pirates

This is a mainly sea-based campaign, so…yeah. Pirates. And they burned down a ship, so that happened. And everyone almost died.

8) The Mimic and the Lost Child

Exactly like it sounds like. The Monk nearly beat up a 7 year old stowaway. She also got swallowed by said mimic. It was fun.

And as for the next session…I have the name but can’t say because one of my players follows me and I can’t spoil it for her. If anyone is interested, I might post about it after it’s done. If anyone isn’t interested, I might post about it anyway. 

Oh no, don’t tempt me to look into the formspring. But I don’t think even I am brave enough/ have enough free time to tread the festering pits of information that can be found on the formspring. On another note, I’m so glad you gave Vliegeng bigger mouths haha

Ahhhh I just finished reading this entire tumblr! So informative! I love you and your story even more now! So, do I get a medal for this feat of obsession-driven lore consumption? Or how about just vliegeng facts, as they are probably the best mythical creature to be created since dragons became a thing in like, BC 800 or whatever. Please seduce me with inessential minutia about vliegengs Ms. Cope~

Most impressive! Before tumblr I used a site called Formspring for Q&A, so as humongous as this archive of useless information is, imagine it four times longer with an even less intuitive UI :)

Since you’ve read all of tumblr though, I’m not sure what more to offer when it comes to vliegeng. Their original conception was in my roleplaying days. A certain horrid demon could only interact with humans (without driving them insane) by possessing the body of a notoriously hearty burrowing subterranean goat-snake. The demon’s master, a Lich named Lord Nihil, kept the poor critter chained up in his lair for the demon’s convenience. I believe Bastion killed it towards the end of the game. Bastion was always killin’ interesting monsters.

But that’s the reason for this illustration, and why the vliegeng looks so glum. It was not a happy captive.

Of course it was repurposed and altered for Unsounded. Instead of gliding through the earth like a Graboid, I moved it skywards, and added its unique relationship with the khert lines. And it’s such an ugly thing I liked the idea of making it distinctly Aldish, to clash with Aldish elegance. This simple contrast helped define Duane’s brother’s character somewhat. Duane had a brother in RP as well, a completely different character who was much more like him. Lemuel is quite a bit different: earthier, less pretentious, less cerebral. His role as a vliegeng handler influenced that development, I think.

So people of Unsounded Discord started discussing who qualifies as a magical girl in the comic and they were coming up with bad ideas like “Mikaila“. They were all obviously wrong, so I decided to take the matter in my own hands. I am so sorry.
