W is for Nate Westerling, Every Western Hero

Name: Nathaniel “Nate” Westerling Campaign: The Eight Arms and the Conqueror Worm For as proud as I am of the Eight Arms campaign setting, I haven’t leveraged the cross-campaign ramifications of it much. After seven campaigns there have only been … Continue reading

V is for Valitude, Insufferable Mirror Man

Name: Valitude Campaign: Unnamed Monster Campaign You know, I almost made it through a whole month without admitting I had a campaign name “Unnamed Monster Campaign”. I didn’t realize they were all at the back of the list. Valitude was … Continue reading

U is for Mikau the Unwitting, Zora I Remember

Name: Mikau the Unwitting Campaign: Osaevu the Chosen U is a hard letter. Leveraging an epithet is a bit of a cheat, but whatever. Mikau was a 3rd-edition character in a Legend of Zelda campaign, so prepare for a lot … Continue reading

Name: Rikkek, Lurquol, Thrott, Skreech, Tretch, Skweel, Skrolk, Thanquol, Glitch, Snitch, and Sneek Queek, et al. Campaign: The Eight Arms and the Memento Mori I wasn’t actually the first choice as this character’s DM. Initially the player went to our … Continue reading

P is for Plague, Living Cancer

Name: Plague Campaign: The Great Tower of Oldechi I’m a big fan of taking a race that D&D hard-codes as evil and using it to play a good character as a quiet, ineffective “screw you” to race-based alignment as a … Continue reading

O is for Orabelle Peña, Companion of Orson

Name: Orabelle Peña Campaign: The Eight Arms and the Memento Mori There’s a joke among early 3E players about especially stupid paladins. Intelligence was a common paladin dump stat in a class that really wanted three good ability scores, and … Continue reading
