This week's DnD Character Colouring Book covers quite a bit of ground. Firstly an idea that has been floating around in both my brain and just in the DnD collective space for a hot minute. A halfling Divination wizard. So, basically, just finding all manner of new and unique ways to mess with dice rolls.
It did partially start with the idea of using one of the "star patterns" on a wizard robe/hat, since the ability to add patterns to hats is relatively new. It took me a while to work out what to do with the trim at the top of the robes though, until I accidentally made it all leather and realised that it worked really well that way.
Also, Theordoric is the first halfling where I've changed over the ear styles. Previously I was using the default Hero Forge halfling ears, which are pointy. And those are cute, but current DnD art direction has halflings with round ears. So after a little bit of a play around, I decided on a specific ear style for my halflings and may have changed all the halflings accordingly.
And, honestly, it makes more sense looking at them next to the gnomes. It just means I need to go in and finagle a different set of ears from the default.
Anyway...
This week was mostly taken up with my rental inspection.
As usual, I split the cleaning over two days. I just can't do it all on the same day any more. After all the cleaning on Monday, I reorganised a couple of shelves on the bookcase in order to make a space for the LEGO Polaroid camera I got for Christmas.
Tuesday was the usual mopping and such, but I managed to be done by about midday. Then Wednesday I cleared out and killed some time at the library.
But as usual, the best part of the inspection is coming home after it's all over.
This week's Mini Media Reviews started out with the first season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure... and I made it through about four episodes before I was so bored I started to fall asleep. I just wasn't vibing with it. I find the art style kinda fugly and the whole thing is so incredibly overwrought. Also, those early episodes aren't at all what I was expecting... or rather what I'd been led to believe the show was about. I'm sure it would get there eventually... I just honestly couldn't be bothered waiting that long.
Fortunately I had the third and fourth seasons of The Umbrella Academy to watch instead. And, honestly, while I agree that the first two seasons are probably the very best ones, I also think they're all equally good. Each one has it's own charms, and all of them have unique issues. I really liked the final season, even though I wish they'd been given the full 10 episode run to round the story out. And, for the record, I was perfectly happy with the way it all ended.
Favourite character throughout the series, who never had a season where I didn't really dislike them... it has always been and remains Five. Best character, literally no notes.
Otherwise, Friday Night DnD didn't quite go the way any of us were really expecting. I'm starting to fully get a handle on my boy Whisper. And plot threads are starting to present themselves. It was a good session overall though.
Anyway...
Today was just the supermarket. Nothing exciting.
