Quote from: Benoist;401369That's exactly what the guy says, btw.

well, it's going to be a long time before we hear of next season. This season is 20 encounters long- that's 20 weeks.

Er.. almost 5 months. So I guess wait and see.

Here's my Nixie Queen character



Tiefling swordmage who uses shurikens. His shurikens all happen to be shaped like playing cards. Currently level 2.


And here's his "IC" love interest (played by RL love interest): Korrel, waterborn genasi sorceress. Yes, she's wearing an octopus.

Cool. Is there something "Alice in Wonderland" going on here with the character's appearance?

(Acknowledging off topicness, sorry)

The original plan was a "wild west" aesthetic- the entire campaign centers around a revolving cast of characters that travels as passengers or crew on a gigantic paddlewheel riverboat that happens to be a partially damaged spelljammer. So the Nixie Queen itself has an onboard Dance-hall, brothel, and casino. Some of the PCs are passengers, one girl is playing the ships mechanic, one character is the bouncer at the casino, another PC is the "Miss Kitty" of the brothel... early plans centered on getting people to translate wild west character types into fantasy. Gambler here is a gambler. Korrel the sorceress is a southern belle type. Although she has an extremely complex back story involving being raised by a river dragon. Her player will tell you all about it if you ever ask.

It's a bit like the Love Boat (remember that show) in that both the crew and the passengers feature in the adventures.

Nixies, Love Boat, ... sissies, see? It all makes sense, now. j/k

Well, that's my sense of humor for you...

I have a goofy backstory for Gambler too- I have never written it down, but in my mind, he's a bad guy who is suffering from a karma curse that causes him to have only bad luck when he does bad deeds,... so he does good deeds, which are a new experience to him.

Stole it from "My Name is Earl"

Zak Smith of all people did it first: linky.
