One of the things that is fun about playing a DND guy is that the character designs are so loose. We have one avatar they commissioned for official art and that's really it.

This is by far my favorite artist for him🇫🇷🇷🇪SimilarityCity | Drawing Machine 🍉🤖 (@FeralSimi)...🇫🇷🇷🇪SimilarityCity | Drawing Machine 🍉🤖 (@FeralSimi)...

but stuff like this isn't wrong either!The Squonk (@GrimPiggles) on Xor evenGoblinshop

The problem comes from trying to stay true to the monstrous design but also trying to capture the player's likeness too, because the players expressions and acting really are so much of the characterWhen You Hear Your Own Voice! #dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e

Anyway, I've never played such a 'creature' before. It's fun!🇫🇷🇷🇪SimilarityCity | Drawing Machine 🍉🤖 (@FeralSimi)...

And if Torb fails the survival rng and gets zombied you can look forward to THIS in the greenhouse source
Don't uh. Don't worry about it ;>

Torbek-->Rocket I love playing Torbek off Rocket like this; they both fill that niche for eachother, Rocket seeing Groot and Torbek seeing his goblin friend but both are still furry science experiment victims. They have a lot to relate with, I think

me every time I see Torbek: Oh torbek we really in it now.

no idea why that happens, but boy been through it

hahaha the correct assumption. He is walking inner turmoil

The fact that he started off as just the most pathetic!man ever and THEN got given real trauma means we get fanart like thisnoah/nix
but also just as often him failing at everything everombrelark's den
Infinity Street Multiverse

It's isn't a day for Torbek unless he's going through something
Or everyone is as a result of his presence

Torbek-->Bakugou is THAT more helpful, Bakugou? ;> I love that there are just zero humans in Torbek's party. The closest one is the genasi who still has like bright red skin and can set his beard aflame. You know, human stuff!

Torbek-->Clint The perfect inspirational opening words to keep someone rational and calm

Torbek-->Dee Time to play who will probably scream from who first!

aaaand finally Top level for Torb as well!

omg is the art in the top of him being alarmed by a cardboard tube?

"aaaaa a TUBE!!!"

oh yeah! that's mine actually haha I love when people simplify him with just his mouth as squiggly teeth

TUBE!!

that's great

thankee clearly I need to just fretting about good icons and just make them all in that style lol

alrighty back to a taggin' for the evening

it's funny it's been so long since I've been in a game, .i have to remember what device I could write on the quickest. my computer keyboard is nice but uncomfortable to relax in and i put drafts on my phone in discord anytime of think of them but autocorrect borks em bad. so maybe it was my tablet i wrote best on?

either way I'll figure it out tonight. I'm ready to just dip into a tag groove and enjoy somespooky vibes

once Torb gets some actual CR I know it'll come easier too, right now everyone at Lab are still kind of in acquaintance status with eachother but it's gonna be so cool to see how they all get on together after a longer time of adversity and mingling

that said I'm delighted by the mix of bafflement/annoyance/begrudgingly warming up responses he has been getting from first impressions; it's exactly what I hoped for. I also chose this guy because he has so much room to grow. I'm excited to see what direction that will be in

Torbek-->Clint important advice (that at least can be followed in this instance since his telepathic teammates aren't around

Torbek-->Steven Nothing like having a heart to heart while one of you has another man's bones in your teeth

Torbek-->Bakugou Just say you're a hairy monster and call it a day, Torbek.

now I'm just waiting the inevitable moment they do actually cross paths in a hallway and the acknowledging ah. that IS what was technically described...

Torbek-->RS chefs kiss that's what I call a good confession. Gotta say it is fun to play someone who will just blurt out anything. I'm trying not to have Torb take over a thread with his own trauma too much so others can have their time in the spotlight too

once he's more established and the people around him know his DEAL I'll be able to pull back the reigns a bit more, but some situations lay just perfect groundwork

Torbek just immediately "D: D: D:!!!"

thank you for that beautiful tag comment chain

HE DOES NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL

glad it was a fun read!

one of the things I love about yugioh is it started off intended to be horror.
executive meddling made it be about card games.
but the mangaka kept dragging the horror in as much as he still could.

hehe yeah, I did see like one chapter of 0 so I knew that a little, but it's still so crazy to hear it all second hand without having seen it.

I'm both like GEEZE but also saying "yeahhhh that sounds about right" lol

good for the mangaka to keep shoving it in anyway

Torbek-->Rocket almost a wrap but oh man it really would be so nice if Torb can pal around with some of the GotG cast; their humor and antics totally match his podcast's vibe

Torbek-->Steven Listen, I know Torbek might usually be better at judging this as a social faux paux but I am here to play an awkward monster that throws people off and makes players laugh; rule of funny demanded I go with this option

Torbek-->Tawna Might have been too late to tag into this one, but the idea would not leave my head and I kept trying to find a way to throw him at Tawna in the TDM already.

aaaand that's me all caught up for now, so I guess it's back to Autumn crafting times today :>

Torbek-->Bakugou The network censorship continues to be just my favorite thing

charades time
