I meant to reply this morning, and per usual – forgot.

But absolutely bleeding fantastic work! Erhard looks more heroic, frontman-esque than before, and as the others have said, the shading on their armor is positively stunning. I cannot complain in the slightest. 🙂

Thank you! I’m glad that my descriptions are suitably risible.
And yeah, @deeprun is super talented.
INFP – and either one is fine. I’m totally fine with people using my real name on this site.’

Regarding your question regarding D&D:

The campaign has gone well so far and the session didn’t go awful in a mechanical sense… but my players may be on their way to a TPK (total party kill) next session.

Moral of the story:

Do not rob the mafia.

Do not rob a vampire.

Especially do not rob a vampire working for the mafia.

While trying to sell a spell scroll worth 20,000 gold, they decided to just keep the scroll and steal the cash and jump the buyer. After 3 rounds of making barely any progress in damaging her, she fled, and they ran away and checked in to the equivalent of a medieval Motel 6 to try and plan their next move (while the entire local mafia is about to swarm them in dudes to get that scroll and the money back).

The end result is either going to be them throwing 1 – 3 of their party members to the mobsters to satiate their thirst for vengeance (along with virtually all of the money they made) and handing over the scroll, or a glorious, bloody last stand as they’re swarmed by a vampire, her 6 spawn thralls, and like 40 dudes with muskets and hatchets.

 

I have another smaller group with potentially a spot open (I’d have to confer with the others) – we’ll see if they bite it next session – if you were / are still looking for a group to join. That campaign is waaaaaaay more informal and irregular in its meeting time, but it’s a casual environment. Except for the constant threat of imminent death. The setting is kind of like Canada, if it were inhabited by cosmic horrors from beyond the stars and the survival of humanity depends on their whaling industry, magic salt, and their friendship with a bunch of shrimp people that can only speak in sign language.

Most important lesson for survival:
If the DM says, “Are you sure about that?” Seriously reconsider your current course of action.
