Player journals rock my socks, thank you all for sharing deeper insights into your characters!
Everyone who participated in the Pub Quiz; that was loads of fun!
I am impressed with Thienna's clear-eyed empathy and her ability to articulate a convincing, compassionate argument.
Lilliana Be'letane is so goddamn funny. I love her dry wit and her disregard for people's inflated self-image.
Kurn is always a welcome addition to a party!
Nora deserves a nod for having to put up with 2 idiots. 'Nuff said on that. The player always conveys the right emotion at the proper moment. Wonderful to RP with.
Thank you, Flinn Swiftmoss, for your old pants. They were upsettingly tight and short.
Here's to Tagnar for doubling down on weird gross decisions. Best dwarf.
Dani has a great backstory full of emotion and detail, and watching her learn about it was a privilege.
I didn't think Darkfire could play Dameon any more unhinged without moving into un-fun territory, but adding sleep deprivation and wild-magic has been a crazy trainwreck that's fun to watch!
Nostaliga is amazing! I've been in awe of this pc since coming back after years away. You've got a super cool puppet master, Nos!
I love when Moriand says the most beautiful, deep, poetic, insightful stuff followed by some fantasy equivalent of "I've just smoked a bowl." He's so good, y'all.
There's more to Chyjri than meets the eye.
Warmaster Finn - The elves never really let a person retire.
Everyone hates Nails. 10/10, no further praise needed.
I have been enjoying Ilomas' subtle RP.
Timber is such a great character. Plays empathetic and caring in an extremely believable way.
Cel is really funny. But also funny real. Keep on squatting, sniffing, carving, winking, chopping, not spitting (thank Gods!), and taking care of that bird.
I didn't think I needed another elf archer who's always in a great mood and optimistic for murdering things in my life, but I did! Three cheers for Shana!
Kurn needs a vote this month for all the work he did in the Underdark.
Everyone and everything Kat is and does.
Lilliana Be'letane reminds me of my boss IRL and the way I play my character around her feels relatable and familiar. In a good way
Sephira's roleplaying has always been fantastic and so fun to interact with, but somehow it has gotten finer, smoother, and even more intelligent ... COMPLIMENT! Now... Sephira as a DM well... DAMN SMOKIN' all over the place!
Dear Mr. Ostentatious (you know who you are
)... I mean what the heck? You've stunned me since day one, and I won't say how long ago that was. Thank you for being here for so many of us. You beautiful human.
Liam - A solid, stellar Champion of O'ma. I can't stress this enough.
Moriand is who I'm bringing along when it's time for a game of Hide (the bodies) and Go Seek (the next of kin)
Love me some Allie Honeydew. Gives me Buzz Lightyear vibes!
I loved the subtle back-and-forth between Finn and the T'Nanshi government this month. He's like "they're so cute, they think I'm not retired." While the elves are all, "He's so cute, he thinks he's retired"
Shout out to Kat for being able to step away from the ick yet still love the game. I admire someone who isn't afraid to put mental health first.
Here's to Alexis for starting the Opportunist back up, and for always being somebody who's doing the maximum to make sure everyone knows what's going on and is included in it.
Nostalgia just blows my mind sometimes with her questions - sometimes as fast as a hasted arcane archer shooting arrows, or stammering and deep thoughtful questions depending on the situation.
Silver Fox is fantastic. I'm a sucker for deadpan humor, and she makes me laugh constantly.
Zerub cracks me up with his disgusting mannerisms while at the same time impressing me with his unassailable logic.
Is there anybody who's better to know as a new character than Kassha Firehart? He's incredibly generous, both with stuff and with information. He's also absolutely willing to make your new person feel important even if they're not yet.
Ran into an old goblin named (something like, but not exactly) Harrumph. Enjoyed that brief interaction tremendously.
Cel and Timber are cute as hell, and I respect them both for playing characters with strong opinions and reactions. Also it's been very sweet to see their relationship moving forward.
Alexis of course. I gave him some notes and he flew with it
Am I allowed to rave last month's murder? all the murder. so much murder. it was very satisfying.
Duq is blatantly creepy on the surface, but you need to get to know him to find he's a bit of an onion, with multiple layers. It's just all those layers are creepy in their own special way.
It's been so fun to see Ilomas Tahm'lieulia in light situations as well, because the seriousness and darkness that defines the character doesn't completely go away, but he also doesn't feel out of place. Instead, he feels like a fleshed out character who persists no matter where you put him.
Tillie - heart of gold, trying vainly to turn the ship from its course toward the reefs ahead, while the rest of the crew stands below the sails on deck, waving flaming torches at each other.
What's there to say about Silver Fox that hasn't been said? To her face. Nobody would talk behind her back, as far as she knows.
Here's to Dani Earthgift for looping her backstory into the current conflict in a way that echoes and reinforces one of the main conflicts. It's always nice when the world picks up a good character and says "hey, you're exactly the person for the moment".
If Nostalgia can't talk sense to you, she's going to beat it into you. Politely, either way.
Moriand is the uber antihero ranger. But we all love Endo better.
Siona. Trying so hard to be the best she can be.
I'm secretly in love with Claudia. My only complaint is she doesn't get enough screen time.
Siona Lyeri's been a great cornerstone for dealing with the refugees. And her relationship with Dani is great.
The1Kobra - ICly I hate all of your PCs. OOCly, I love all of your PCs.
Gorr! I'm here to tell ye that there's no better dwarf than Tagnar!
Lord, never ask Sceluscio Potementia a question he can answer with just yes or no, because that's all you're getting, baby! In all seriousness, this guy has such a strong character and vibe and I really enjoy the time.
Morgan, so young, so suspicious, an always happy to stir the pot. I can't decide if he's a good or bad influence on the groups he hangs with.
Silver fucking Fox, man. The player is so fast and so funny you feel good about being menaced and exploited.
TIMBER!!!! Seriously, so much to love here. Never stop those wonderful wing-play emotes!
Emick is such a fun combination of gee willikers and absolutely deadly. Best Hin representation.
Tupaia Warick is a very good druid and I like her gentle, natural vibe.
Tagnar, a dwarf's dwarf, always tactful and well spoken... for a dwarf. Meaning, he probably shouldn't handle delicate negotiations. But ladies, he's available!
Rodrick! A character that seems easy to believe could actually exist! This is hard to pull of in a would or RPing and goofing off.
Silver Fox vs. the race that shall be forgotten. That wasn't politics it was personal.
Xinxar doesn't talk much, but those times he has something to say it's zero hoop all net. Some really good and insightful stuff from the guy.
Timber! Watch out for that tree!!!
Rade, you are the best! Despite common wisdom that psionics and lycanthropy are incompatible, you read minds (at least when it comes to business negotiations), and you are the goddess of scouting for a party!
Lilliana is doing great work in the Magisterium, a continuation of how they've always pursued magic. The heavy lifting isn't always noticed, or appreciated, but they've worked so hard, and deserve the praise.
Refminion should be noticed for the characters they play, each with their own quirks and unique voice. Always fun to play with.
Nails! Fucking Nails. I love how angry and abrasive she is. Top marks for making it a fight.
Siona has been wonderful this month.
There's no situation that isn't made better by adding Kurn. He's just a delight in every possible way, and I love those times I get to see him!
Liam Wefess was a pleasant surprise this month! I hadn't really played with him before, and he's a charming representative for Elysia.
I wish I got to hang with Claudia Nalvad more because I really like her.
Lillith, sneak, snoop, snacker. And rather good at all three.
Duq is a horrible little goblin and he's so cute.
I enjoy how fighty Azug is and he looks fucking great.
The Keepers of the Cycle - here to help you with your undead problem, whether you want it or not!
Daybreak: hire them. If you survive negotiating the price, they are the epitome of professionals.
The Order of Gorethar for running with the plot and seeing it to the end.
AMM shenanigans and baby dragons, 'nough said!
The Luminous Order and Friends.
You know what you did.
To all of the Keepers of the Cycle: You're a misfit box of toys who I enjoy playing alongside, like smashing two fire trucks together.
The OoG, Easely, Nora (and Ambrosia, ofc) what an ending.
Sephira deserves special recognition for the whole Grantir plot; she's walking a fine line with style, balancing authenticity and fairness.
Jazz might not DM often, but when he does, I enjoy it. Go Euro DMs!
Special thanks to Ambrosia who has been EVERYWHERE doing all the things. You are an absolute star!
Nostalgia... a small one carrying such a heavy load all of the time. You just want to pick her up and hug away all the troubles of the world. Then again that might be a hazard to your health since she might decide to go all Bruce Lee on your ass!
accompaniments to the Poetry Festival performances! (*Claps two drumsticks* ~ *Pulls out a pair of drum brushes, lays down a jazzy susurrus for beat-poetry*, etc.)
