And the last game I have recorded (for now) is this one! This is part 1 of what was supposed to be a one-shot campaign that ran a little long.
Rat Problems Part 1
We would have recorded part 2, but at the time we’d had several weeks of bad weather and personal problems (and we’d also been under quarantine at the time) so we were all feeling way too Brain Tired to play right then.
The other problem had been that I’d written my notes for the campaign in a way that wasn’t very… Good for reading after a certain point. So I’ve been working on cleaning those up and making them clearer so we can finally finish this one and hopefully move on to more campaigns.
(Or stop playing altogether. I know at least 2 of us are having fun but with all the scheduling issues, memory loss for how to make the discord bot work, and other things that have cropped up, it may be easier to just let it end for now… I can ask my players if they want to keep going, as I’d love to keep playing, but if it’s too stressful/not fun I’m not going to force them to keep playing.)
Just for the fun of it (and because I still love these drawings), I’ve decided to post some of the Toonkind characters I’ve designed. And maybe give a bit of story about them while I’m at it. Not as a single post, mind you, but I wanna talk about my brainchildren for a bit.
For those who don’t know, Toonkind are a Homebrew race for D&D 5E made by a Tumblr User known a Yunisverse, and they are all inspired by various types of animation and its various mediums. The homebrew race has 3 main subraces; Rubberhose (based on the rubbery, black and white toons from early animation), Frankenalie (an homage to the two amazing animators who you should really look up if you can), and the Warne (I would think most people would know what this one references).
But there are 3 other toonkind races! The Hausen (Stopmotion/claymation style), Yupyaen (based on the UPA style), and Muppetborn (I don’t think I need to explain that one to most people). All of them with their own strengths and weaknesses for playing, though there are a few standards for the Race as a whole.
(The homebrew, and all of its subrace options, can be found on D&D Beyond. Although you’d need a subscription to use homebrews that you didn’t make yourself.)
We’ll start with my first (original) character! (Although, I have to admit I haven’t actually played him yet): ADRIAN ENFIELD
Adrian Enfield, a lamp-wielding Dragonic Sorcerer. He’s also a Frankenalie type fox.
Adrian is a wandering scholar, exploring Einquell to learn about the strange times the land has fallen into and trying to truly learn his powers as he goes. He went to a school of magic for a short period of time but found that the way the school structured its academics didn’t jive with him too well.
He’s got a dragonic bloodline and a talent for lightning magic, and an impressive armor class for a magic-user. I really don’t have too much to say about him, because I haven’t really gotten to play him yet.
I should really play him at some point so I can see what he can do sometimes…
