like yeah the clear exhaustion and delirium they end up with can make for hilarious performances (to the point I've needed to use my inhaler from laughing so much) but on both a human and a storytelling level, I don't want these people so exhausted and overwhelmed they can't even fully explain why they made the character decisions they did (or understand why other players might be reacting with confusion or frustration).

I don't want Brennan to have to end the show with a direct to camera psa spelling out what was supposed to be the entire message of the story because basically none of those plot points or themes were resolved in a too short season and rushed, unhinged finale. I don't want Brennan to say "I feel good that we had one solid beat of pathos and stakes", and also that he realised he fucked up and put them in an "off" vibe at the end of the penultimate episode that they couldn't get away from because the episodes were shot back-to-back.

I don't want them to be given only a handful of days in quick succession playing these characters with no opportunity to breath, rest, reflect or re-calibrate on who those characters are, why they're making the choices they are, how they fit into the story/world, what their personal arc could involve, or how their storylines will end.

I want the players to be having fun with their friends, that's obviously a big part of the draw of d20, but the other side of that is that they're not just friends hanging out — they're filming a show. they're specifically there to create a satisfying story together for an audience to watch.

Experiencing a lot of financial strain at the moment, with bills from before I had insurance piling up, as well as heating bills from the recent really bad weather. Insurance started at the beginning of the year, so once I get caught up I should be fine.

Any commissions I can get would REALLY help out. These are great for personal use or make great gifts!

These are deckboxes of my own design, complete with a spot in the front for your commander! No more trying to remember which deck is in which box! These are sturdy boxes, with textured tops and bottoms to help prevent slipping and sliding around, and they've got embedded magnets to help prevent the box from popping open unexpectedly! They're really sturdy, I've thrown one down the stairs and it didn't break!

Here's a resource guide from @criticalrolememes.

“A fierce love of adventure and a taste for excitement are the foundation of the bond between Brallin and Shabraz. Their combined knowledge of the air currents and weather patterns around Raugrin is unmatched. Shabraz can most often be spotted soaring around the tall volcanic peaks, with Brallin riding exuberantly on its back.”
