D&D Dossier
Well, after two years (almost) I FINALLY bought Kids on Brooms!! I will be running it soonish?? Depends on if the rules slide off my brain or not. Anyway, it might be the next paid game I run unless I can brainstorm a goddamn JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure plot! To be fair- to myself- I haven’t started brainstorming yet. Is it wrong if I want the antagonists to be vampires? Vampires legitimately exist in that world.
I have still been listening to tons of TTRPG horror stories on Youtube. And it seems to ,e that most of the bad DMs out there who throw in their own super powered DMPC (DM player character), are all frustrated novelists. I mean, if you HAVE to railroad your players and insert your own characters then what you really want is he full control that writing a novel offers. Same goes for players with “main character syndrome”. Just write a book or a short story!
Anyway the only finished art I have it a Mandrake that I drew to be the villain in a one-shot I want to run using Over Arms using an original setting/idea for a magic school type deal. It’s kind of doofy and too big on the map (I tried it out already) but it’ll do. I may never even get to run the game.
Anyway, D&D and Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro seems to going off the rails in terms of trying to monetize D&D and extract money from 3rd party developers. It reminds of that time someone (I don’t remember who) tried to ban people from taping shows off TV. I don’t know if it’ll work or not. The world is getting stranger all the time, but D&D players, content makers and streamers are fucking pissed. It’s 100% just corporate greed. Not that it means much for me. I still haven’t figured out the rules… It could be a tempest in a teapot. I’m not a lawyer though, I don’t know how much od this will have any real impact or if it’ll even be enforcable. Who knows.
Doll news- none! :( No Mirai! No replacement dolls ordered either. I dont want to just buy any old doll. So I wait. I found some cute anime style heads on the eLuts site, they’re not made by Luts and Luts doesn’t offer face-ups but they do fit on Kid Delf bodies. But I don’t want to get face-ups done. I sent Coco away forever ago and I’m waiting for the artist to finish I may need to poke her again.
Game News: Still waiting on my copy of Kids on Brooms to arrive. It’s not really scheduled for delivery until the 26th so it may be another week or so. I also stumbled on something called Eldritch Hunter- a 3rd party D&D 5e with more weapons and eldritch monsters fo course! I cannot get enough monsters!
