#rollvember

Ah yes, Rollvember. That magical thirteenth month of the year between the beginning and end of December when you eat leftovers and spend time with friends. It is definitely not something we made up as an excuse to hang out and play games on stream, raising money for Code2040. Whether you’ve been celebrating Rollvember for as long as you can remember or this is your first time, you’re in for a treat. Quite a few of them in fact.

From December 17 and December 28, look forward to:

Lots of TTRPG one-shots with amazing casts.

Secret special guests!

Board games on the virtual tabletop.

Roll20 staff streams.

Prizes and giveaways.

Lots of ways you’ll be able to influence the games and raise money for a worthy cause.

Save the dates and get your comfiest pants ready for 12 days of hanging out on Twitch with Roll20.

Gonna let you in on a secret. I steal names. None of these characters were ever created with the intention to make money, they were all created for the enjoyment of myself and friends. So, you're gonna see names that may look or sound familiar, depends on where your fandom takes you. I steal from movies, comics, novels, even friend's screen names. I'm terrible at coming up with names, so here we are.

This is one of those characters that I could write pages about their background and history. The youngest of several children, his mother was a notorious leader (her group could be morally questionable) and swordswoman, his father was the Black Warlock of the Pentagram. As a young adult, Gambrin saw his mother cut down in the war with the Dragon Empire. His father checked out after that and was never heard from again. Not one to sit around, and blending both his parents' talents (sword and magic) Gambrin learned everything he could about fighting and slaying dragons, dedicating his life to destroying the worst dragonkind had to offer.

Later, when Queen Demeter brokered peace between elven kind and the defectors from the Dragon Empire, a new city was founded and named in her honor. Gambrin then took on a prominent role in the city guard and army, training new recruits on how to fight dragons and developing techniques on how to fight as a companion to dragons, as the guard included them too.

Not always the nicest guy, rather blunt, often flirtatious, but always would come through in the end, even if it was kicking and screaming. I chose him for darkness because he let it take over and guide his life, but it unintentionally set up a chain reaction in the prompts as the next two prompts will feature his son and daughter respectively.

Tepet Novinha of House Tepet, Exalted by Whitewolf Games, Dragonblooded, Air Element. Only played her for a short while, but she traveled the main continent before returning home to the Imperial City. Now she serves as a messenger for her house, who holds the throne in the Scarlet Empress’s absence. I decided to include my original artwork, so that I can see how far or little my sketching has changed. Plus, I love her colors. Only doing shaded sketches now so I can put my work out faster, but I LOVE coloring my own work.
