So While Most Rainbow Capitalism Is Sticking Rainbows On Things And Pretending To Be An Ally, Budweiser’s

✨ Disney & Dragons ✨

Turned a bunch of Disney Heroes into DnD characters for this week’s speedpaint! Real fun concept to play around with :D

(I went into detail in the video about what class I made each character and why, but if you haven’t seen it yet then feel free to make your guesses based on the final artworks!)

I love the way capital has been set up as like, broadly speaking, a normal city with crazy magic shit just beneath the surface. Matt has played that perfectly to create that contrast and highlight how an ordinary human wouldn’t notice anything strange about their city but adventurers can find ancient catacombs and monsters under a library.

I think if I were running it I’d play that idea up far more such as having it be normal sized and less alien races out in the open but create the atmosphere that in any shadow there could be 3 drow hanging out, Tieflings are only found in the hardest to find clubs and bars, back allys that don’t exist on maps etc.

✨ Chaos Crew Tattoos ✨

Consider:

A standard portal fantasy where a person falls through time and ends up in medieval times– but they have brightly colored hair.

They walk into the nearest tavern thinking this must be some novelty tourist trap, and as soon as people take one look at them they’re chased out with whatever cold iron tools the locals have on them, cries of “faerie!” ringing in their ears.

Also, this just in from the Science World:

MIT researchers just developed (as of September 2019) a new BLACKEST BLACK which is more light absorbing than Vantablack

While I think they are pursuing a patent, this article indicates they plan to make it “freely available to any artist to use for a noncommercial art project”

MIT engineers develop “blackest black” material to date

Made from carbon nanotubes, the new coating is 10 times darker than other very black materials.

if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in the midwest, this is it.

Chain of Acheron, Helltrooper Match.

“You see the docks on fire??”

> “I mean, technically yeah, but I also found the kid’s dog :D”

Okay so I spent more time on this than I had intended, but everyone meet Match!

half-elf sorcerer, rank-and-file soldier

5′8″, they/them

chaotic good

has a tendency to accidentally set things on fire hence the nickname ‘Match’

always has good intentions though!

is not allowed to light candles using the firebolt anymore

joined the Chain because they needed to quickly disappear after accidentally setting a noble’s house alight, stayed because they like the people

thinks they are smooth but is actually just a huge dork

always holds a match between their teeth because they think it looks Cool and Edgy™ 

Yesterday’s Eyeliner™ 

calls everyone darling

tries to play it smooth and aloof but will immediately melt at the slightest bit of affection

11/10 would squeeze Bigcat on sight because  b i g  c a t

CHAIN OF ACHERON, HELLTROOPER CHERRY REPORTING

“The Chain will be unbroken. None shall be slaves. The truth is my pursuit.”

“The Chain is my family now. My honour is tied up with theirs.”

- Mountain Dwarf War Magic Wizard.

- 3′9″, she/her, biromantic asexual.

- Lawful Neutral.

- Her nickname comes from both her red eyes and puffy red nose from years of drinking. Inspired by this, she has taken to using cherries in her brewing.

- She keeps her chestnut brown hair short and her face bare, though she does have some sweet sideburns.

- She is a practiced brewer and an expert cardsharp, and often can be found in her downtime taking other Chainlink’s money in games of chance over drink. To Cherry, the Chain is her family.

- She hates the ways of her fellow Dwarves in capturing and keeping slaves, and despises Ajax for facilitating such injustice. If she didn’t hate Ajax before Blackbottom, she sure does now.

- As a Vaslorian, she is devoted to the Chivalric ideal of Truth, and strongly believes in the maxim: “The Truth will out.”

- Cherry is crass, and speaks her mind even when it is not to her social advantage. She is practically minded to a fault.

- She joined the Chain in Blackbottom around the same time as Sweet. She is extremely hesitant to speak on her past, even more than the other Chainlinks. Once, while extremely drunk, she shared that she had left her past behind after waking in a shallow grave, seemingly resurrected after the explosion that killed her family.

- During her service to the Chain, she became an assistant to Staff Sorcerer Nails, developing evocation and abjuration magic useful for combat on the battlefield and protecting her fellow Chainlinks.

- During the Siege of Blackbottom and the Fall of the Chain, Cherry was not one of the Chainlinks who boarded the Rosso Cielo, instead meeting up with another group independently to make their way to Capital on their own. Currently looking for a captain willing risk the wrath of Ajax in taking them across the Bale Sea to the meetup in Capital.
