This started as a sketch of a D&D group. Now, I fully, barefacedly admit my geekyness when it comes to playing almost any tabletop game I can get my hands on, and have been a D&D vet since 2nd Edition with my cousin.
This group, however, is not like any other... As evidenced by the caracters that have taken root, above and beyond any dice rolling.
To the far left you have our gnome druid, Zuke. Zuke is a big lover of peace and trees and plants and.... and... you know, man? That thing? He's commonly... well, high. Too much time around plants, I say.
Then you have "Lady" Karis, a psychotic man-hating swashbuckler with a touch of half-elf and a nasty tendency to threaten any and all NPCs. Also a kleptomaniac and a secret lover of halflings (she denies it constantly, but we ALL know what that means)
Then you have Donovan "Donny" Sinklare, cleric, ex-thug, heavy drinker, occasional philanderer and did I mention heavy drinker? Highly abrasive and speaks with a heavy cockney accent. (My boy, and the most fun I've ever had playing a cleric)
Then, the tin can, Sir William. He serves as the party's tank, at least in the academic sense. He tends to stand still and let enemies hit him, possibly due to the fact that its easier than hitting THEM. In seven or eight sessions I've only seen Sir William actually be able to hit one or two enemies (leading to speculation that he doesn't know which way his helmet's supposed to go on.)
And, speaking of poor competence, we have Garrett, or Halfling Ninja. The only way to define Garrett's speciality is this- at one point, he fell down a flight of stairs. Completely on his own, no tripping or anything. And he's broken every set of lockpicks he's ever had on him. Not exactly prime assasin material there. But at least he hits half the time.
That bing said, I've never had more fun playing with a group, and this piece is dedicated entirely to them.
Uh, yeah, Karis here. I will have you know, I DO not, WILL not, and have NEVER had a "thing" for halflings. I resent ever making those racist jokes! And if you bring it up again, I will castrate you faster than you can say your own name!
This is hillarious Galen! It's true, we are the luckiest group of foolish bastards ever to have played this game.
I do not put tremendous stock in the man who has to his creative credit 'crystal lake' 'blood river' 'caves of terror' and other such deeply creative names.
DeviantART has partnered with FAIR to help promote equality through The Love Unites Shepard Fairey Equality Project. We're asking deviants to align themselves with this cause and have their work judged by Shepard Fairey himself!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
For those who have many watchers, and for those who dont have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally related to common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.
The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out on the 1st of every month to one trully outstanding deviant. `Cyantre is one of the most helpful deviants within our community. With a positive attitude and a resourceful mind, you can always find him providing support and encouragement to those in need. Always looking for ways in which he can get more involved in our community, John's positive presence is to be aspired to. A well respected poet, John is a must-have on your deviantWATCH to make sure that you don't miss out on your dose of community inspiration. It's with great pleasure that the Deviousness Award for November 2009 goes to... Read More
