What colour hair/eyes/complexion do you see him as having? I just finished rendering - up on Patreon this week!

He's side-eyeing the adventurers and pursing his lips at the dirt under their fingernails. At the last place they looted, he found a bolt of silk and has taken to throwing it over his bedroll at night.

One thing you should know about me as a GM is that I WILL kill you

My main character is a textile merchant. When I came across this weirdly specific, no-context post let me tell you I was ALARMED

A meme of a blonde woman with the words "I am not entering into another relationship with a rival textile merchant from any of my past lives."

Hello all! I'm Mona, a writer and GM, currently in the process of pulling material together for my full campaign, The Wolf and the Wall. I'd love to have fellow GMs and players join me on the journey.

Now that I've spent 9 hours on Side Project 4, I can move back to Side Project 1.

I should probably try actually writing at some point this week

😅 It's a Faustian bargain. A merchant has been building a beautiful life and now his debt has come due!

Beta readers: God, your poor main character. He's suffering! It's horrible! Me: Yes :)

That's so kind! Thank you for noticing the expression! The answer is - he is going through a LOT :)

I should be writing, reading, or doing virtually anything else, but instead I am sketching my main character, Antoine

A gold signet ring with the letter A engraved on its face - a reminder of who he is; who he has built himself to be.

Wonderful, thank you! :)

Hello! I'd love to be added please 🤍

Only the finest for him!

The amount of STRESS I would feel trying to organise something suitable for Antoine's affluent taste! It's setting my palms a-prickling

Haha - not romantasy. It's dark literary fiction with a supernatural thread :)

Heartbreak, you say? There's no shortage of that in my book...! #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

She recovers the moment lightly, as though it hadn't happened, giving both of us grace. "Well, I do hope you meet him one day soon - my Casimir. You'd take to him immediately. It's impossible not to."

Is that right.

I hadn't thought of him much - this Casimir. I know enough of the men I've met since coming to this town - my associates, my clients - to imagine him. A boy. Impetuous; senselessly driven by the heat of his own blood, ripping through the world, with his mothers and sisters and lovers carefully stitching whatever rift he tears into it, pricking their fingers. I'd seen it happen time and time again. Only Bastien seems to look where he's stepping, lest he crush something underfoot. Perhaps that's why I'd let him close.

In any case, I realise with a sense of strange gratitude, Casimir will be forced to reckon with at least one of his foolish actions soon. And if it leads him away from her, Luciole will move through the heartache, and find another. She's young.

In good news, writing on Part II is well underway. In bad news, my MMC continues to suffer.

I pulled together some sample chapters to release but then realised this counts as previously published if I want to follow the trad route! Rip me I guess

Hi there! I'm relatively new here too! Nice to meet you.

Constantly, and to himself, most of all.

It's so tough to be inspired heavily by an existing universe. I think there are enough adjustments you could make that would distance yourself sufficiently, but WotC is like the nintendo of TTRPG IP! I understand your concerns!

This is such a beautiful book! It was one of my favourites when I was young.

I've completed Part I and writing for Part II is underway!
