the DM cackles

So, any some of you might know, I run a small but flourishing Sims Discord.

I was struck with inspiration, and Homebrewed around a little, creating my Penumbra Homebrew species! That means, my server now has an additiona perk: Access to my Sims 4 Fantasy D&D Play-by-Post! (For those unaware of the term, its essentially a D&D campaign in text form, running continuously without set session times, just kind of whenever people have time to reply)

Due to the the PbP format and my experience running games like this in VTM, I'm gonna open this up to the public!

Server

Homebrew species

It's pretty unusual for humans to get bitten by werewhales, which is a good thing, given how destructive they can be. Somewhat similar to werewolf lycanthropy, the curse of the werewhale drives its sufferers to extreme violence but, where werewolves tend to be random and unfocussed in their savagery, werewhales are artists of bloodshed. They will track their prey for miles, toy with them, torture them... explore every possible angle of butchery before unleashing their full fury, terrible in its immensity.

finally, the update! anyone who has commissioned me before today obviously still gets the old prices.

anyways slots are open for now, feel free to message me either at [email protected], or here in dms! :>

will do:

fanart

oc

design / custom

nudity/slight nsfw

anthro

light gore

wont do:

fetish

mecha

heavy gore (dismemberment or similar)

Oops I dropped my updated drive of DnD resources that I'd NEVER put the 2024 Player's Handbook on, or any other materials.

I've been sick with a bronchitis and had to go on unpaid sick leave, and I've been hit with only half my salary this month. would mean the world to me if someone would commission me!

I also offer commission types not listed /full body/ icons/ sketches.

OPEN COMMISSIONS!

pls boost <3 Help a trans poc artist out! The more commissions I can take, the less work I have to do at my current job, which requires a lot of stress on my body and psyche. I was recently hospitalised due to mental stress, so anything would help, thank you!

Hi.

If you’ve seen my previous post, you likely know that I managed to escape my abusive family, and by jumping through various hoops, am safeish now. I live in a larger city now, and have found a job that pays barely enough to support me.  I moved here on a deadline (end of february), so I settled for a temporary solution, an apartment I have rented out for two months. Now, I found a permanent home, which I’m very happy about, homelessness was a very real threat for me. Unfortunately, I have nowhere near enough income to afford the down payment, in addition to the first rent, and double rent in April, because I have to move in at the 01.04., plus public transport to work and, well. Food? 

Once I’m in that new place (its not really an apartment lmao, its a single room witha  communal bathroom i share with three other people, but it does come with furniture), I can hopefully finally take a gd breath and work on building myself up again.

I could overdraw my account, but that would put me into debt I can likely never get out of. So, if anyone can spare money, please consider helping me out. I will continue to keep book of donations, and repay once I’m no longer struggling as much.

my paypal is https://paypal.me/meeralith

i also proposed to my current landlord that she keeps the down payment of 500, and instead reduces my rent im due at the end of this month by that amount, but she said she needs the money, so im pretty sure im only gonna get that back in the middle of next month…

i worked my ass off, so i might get paid a bonus, but its not rly transparent of thats caluclated so i dunno if or how much ill get. also, since i started in the middle of the month, im only getting half a paycheck anyways.

my new landlord called while i was at work (i emailed him the insurance thing that says he’ll not get the down payment, and this insurance instead) and im mildly panicking bc im pretty sure hes gonna be like “yeah pay this or else the contract is void” and hahahaha kms kms kms

family/friends/personal

someone close to you is sick. you need to adventure to find a cure

someone stole something important from you and you need to find it

you’ve received a message from a long lost relative and are trying to find them

someone that you love has been kidnapped (maybe you have to earn money to pay a ransom or complete some deed…)

adventuring runs in the family! everyone is expected to complete one quest in their lives

your family/culture sends people out to complete certain tasks when they reach a certain age as a rite of passage

another player’s character saved you in the past so you feel indebted to them and travel with them, protecting/aiding them

there’s a magical drought in your hometown and you have to fix it

your hometown doesn’t have a lot of jobs so you have to travel and send money back home

some childhood friends and you made a “scavenger hunt” where you try and complete a checklist of certain tasks (ie. defeat a barbarian in hand to hand combat, steal x amount of gold, slay a dragon, etc) in an allotted amount of time

quests/jobs

a god/patron has sent you on a quest to do something for them

you’ve been hired by someone to complete a task (and you get sucked into the big adventure along the way)

you’re on a quest for knowledge. maybe it’s to learn the best ways of fighting, maybe it’s something more academic related

your priest received a vision from your god and they sent you on a quest

you’re writing a book about the world and different cultures and you need first hand experience

you’ve found every map you’ve come across is shitty, so you decide to become a cartographer and make your own

you’re a detective who helps solve crimes and need to travel to solve a particular case

you’re a collector of a certain object and travel across the land to find it

you’re apart of an adventuring academy and have to complete a quest to graduate

you’re an artisan and you travel with your wares, trying to sell them. alternatively, you’re trying to spread word of your business and gain new business partners

you worked at a tavern your whole life where an old bard would sing songs of their adventuring party and that inspired you to go and do some adventuring of your own

you did something embarrassing and need to get the hell out of dodge

you’re taking a gap year

your arch nemesis is dying and you need to call them a bitch one last time before you go

hrt is free in a certain monastery

you met your significant other on fantasy tinder but they live across the kingdom

you’ve heard humans have this thing called “djinn Der” and you want to know what that’s all about

your friend got super drunk and stumbled into a random teleportation circle and you were the only sober one at the party so you have to go find them

you want that super powerful dude’s sword and will do anything to get it

you wanna get swole by hitting lots of different things with very large hammers

you want to prove the arrogant bard who told that super incorrect story in your tavern wrong by bringing them the evidence yourself

you read someone’s biography and want to imitate their life ultra-fan style

you found a message in a bottle asking you on a date

you want to find somewhere where your allergies will be less annoying but no one knows where that is so you have to find it for yourself

you really really want to see a volcano

you heard about another culture’s food and are desperate to try it

you’re interning with/shadowing a professional adventurer before you set off on your own

Your magic/craft is really unconventional and no one thinks it’s useful so you head out on an adventure to prove them all wrong

You made a bet with your sibling/friend that you can find and kill a dragon/some other big monster

Honestly any bets of unlikely magnitudes are very fun

Your (possibly ex) god/patron told you a problem can only be solved one way and you don’t want to do it that way and you think there’s another way so hey, guess who’s being a rebellious child?

There’s a legendary recipe (potion or legitimately baking/cooking) that requires incredibly rare, hard-to-procure ingredients and no one thinks it’s possible to be made. Guess who’s doing it

Yeah sure everyone may think the world is bleh but that doesn’t mean you’re not gonna go and and spread kindness to counter it

Or maybe you think the world needs… less good. Maniacal laughter time

Here's a subclass preview of the barbarian and warlock from my upcoming project the Infernal Codex! Feedback is appreciated especially for the warlock!

Whipped up an Infernal alphabet/script! Theres like absolutely jack shit for this language online, so I made my own script for it. It takes inspiration from a lot of ceremonial magick alphabets as well as the daedric alphabet from elder scrolls.

Personally I headcanon infernal basically being fantasy latin, but Infernal needs it’s own alphabet, so here we are.

Aside from DnD uses, this also would work good for grimories and whatnot. In fact, I actually plan to use it for making sigils.
