The funny thing about Marco and Van Richten is they kind of budded off from a single character idea so now I've had to differentiate them.

Like Marco has gotten more of the flat affect while Van Richten is more openly compassionate.

I also have it in my head that because this chronologically happens after my original Ravenloft game and Van Richten's experiences with Ireena he's softened from how he was in that game.

In fact I just realized I should have Arthur note that in the story I'm working on.

Just picked this book up and the girl at the counter took one look at it said "Is this Sapphic?" and I said, "Yes. Hard yes."

Naval geeks who are also transphobes are so fucking funny because they don't think twice about saying "This is the USS John McCain, and she's a beautiful ship" and will whine about pronouns in the next breath.

I said that and someone responded "Congratulations to John McCain on her transition" and I replied:

"If you listen closely you can hear the chuds' heads explode at that sentence."

Also for the record the only reason I picked John McCain is it was the first newer ship named after a cis man I thought of.

What started as a joke about an apartment complex called "Enby Park" that I always chuckle at while driving by turned into me and my Enby pals setting up a base at Enby Park, getting our hands on a Sherman tank in a nearby town square and establishing the Massachusetts 1st Battalion Non-binary Tank Corps.

Right wing chud: spouts some transphobic bullshit

Someone also pointed out that this is literally a right-wing chud's nightmare.

Yesterday seemed to be "things to piss off Rosemary" day. I can honestly see why they were eager to get a patient out of the ER because she turned out to be a 15 year old girl who has been viciously bullied. And it only got worse.

But after I got that out of my system I realized I was probably the best person to take this call and I slipped into conversation with her that I had an ex-girlfriend and referred to a friend who goes by they/them just as a signal that, if she wanted to, I was a safe adult to talk to about this stuff.

She decided not to and took a nap for most of the ride and that was fine too.

Anyone wanna read about baby gay Ireena? I finally got around to putting this up on A03.

I also did a 1984 and removed all the references to the name of asshole DM's character. Now he is just "the priest" because that man does not deserve to have his character's name recorded anywhere.

Oh shit I just realized something.

Ireena is now using the weapons that Qadira used to use. A sword and shield.

Guess who's getting added to Ireena's Spirit Guardians.

Which now makes me want to write a hilarious sequel to the antics of her existing Spirit Guardians, who are her father and brothers, as a strange elf woman suddenly shows up.

athena_rose922,
@athena_rose922@mstdn.social avatar

Two of them have met her before but Izek definitely hasn't and so now you have a canonically neutral evil psychopath (albeit one who has gotten a bit better thanks to the influence of the other two) and a lawful good devotion paladin.

Uh oh.

Kolyan and Ismark just watching the inevitable brawl like:

And of course my brain manages to turn a heartwarming thing into something slapstick almost immediately.

"And here comes Qadira with the steel chair!!!"

I'm pretty sure even as a ghost she's going to kick his ass.

This is going to appear in the next issue of the in-universe newspaper and it is directly tied to what I'm writing right now.

In case it's not obvious Osgul absolutely did what he's being accused of.

athena_rose922,
@athena_rose922@mstdn.social avatar

The players will also run into this first hand when Vega the not-paladin throws the accusation in Osgul's face. It'll be up to the players if it turns into an all-out brawl or if they can resolve it.

Purchased some research material.

I specifically went to Barnes & Noble for the leather bound version that is thick enough you could kill a cat by dropping it.

I decided to put together a timeline to try to keep things at least somewhat consistent in my game.

In the official materials they actually use BC for Barovian Calendar, but I decided that's might be a little confusing for players since we use that in real life so I changed it to BA.

And yes The Fellowship of the Raven is the adventuring party that my Ireena originates from.

athena_rose922,
@athena_rose922@mstdn.social avatar

This is also set to appear in the next issue of the in-universe newspaper.

Cardinna Artazas is someone the party will meet much much later.

Third chapter is out, with an appearance by my boy Rudy van Richten.

(I fully admit to calling him that solely because of how wrong it sounds)

I am so ride-or-die for these two now it's not even funny.

I haven't been this devoted to a couple whose story I wrote since Ireena got her girlfriend.

athena_rose922,
@athena_rose922@mstdn.social avatar

And for the record, yes, there's quite a bit of me in Arthur that is autobiographical, but there's also a fair bit of a very good friend of mine. Especially some of the bits coming up.

athena_rose922,
@athena_rose922@mstdn.social avatar

We're also reaching an important narrative shift in the story which is when Arthur stops referring to Alanik Ray as "Ray" and starts calling him "Alan" which is going to be important later because part of their cover involves him holding those as two separate people in his mind.

Alan is the man he loves and eventually his husband.

Alanik Ray was the Chief Constable of Martira Bay who "died" at the Rosenlaui Falls and is to Arthur a character in the books he writes.
