Of the Birds and the Bees

The mighty Empire of Bees slowly spreads its influence across the galaxy. The first step: military conquest. The second step: deployment of a princess and a drone harem to outbreed the native population. All, naturally, in the service of bringing civilisation to the babaric.

Princess Iris abhors the idea of having to govern an entire planet and lay eggs whenever she can. For years, she managed to wiggle her way out of taking on even a single drone or colony. But the pressure is mounting. Finally, Iris finds hope in the form of Count Flamingo, a handsome peacock of Granary Beta and tenth in line to the royal throne. He is not only willing to take on her government responsibilities so she can just stick to the finer things in life, but even agrees to help her heist some eggs from her sisters to keep up appearances.

In return, he can protect his family and people from the genocidal methods of the Bee Empire (Beempire). But Flamingo also has his own designs. He dreams of becoming Emperor, throwing off the shackles of the Bees to get to the top of the pecking order!

He just needs to placate the Princess first. Without getting emotionally attached to the enemy.

This is fine.

This is kind of a concept piece. My idea for Bessy's Bed & Breakfast.

It's situated on the highest rooftop of the living district on the island she lives on, overlooking a gorgeous vista of the beach and some ominous pyramids in the waters below and around. Up there, any traffic noise is pretty quiet, and together with the greenery on the rooftop, her BnB is a serene little haven.

You may begin to see what inspired this campaign's setting... ovo

I actually drew very little of this by the way. I am experimenting more with assets lately, and with using them to quickly mock up or block in  more complicated ideas I have so that I can still easily communicate them. These are almost entirely assets from the CSP store or algenpfleger's brush packs.

So uh. We may have gone a biiiiit off the rails in Curse of Strahd by using the probably rarest and most powerful item in an early encounter to save  a character not intended for saving...

This kicked off a chain reaction and now our GM has turned 3 NPCs into our "B-Team". They can basically check out stuff and run errands for us, nothing too wild.

I drew this for the last session as a little visual to introduce them as characters. Totally subtle how last minute I did that, right?

The immediate reaction of Steph upon learning of the cupid bees was to throw her character at the honey.
