Previous Campaigns


I used to play TTRPGs with my partner and our group of friends. Sadly, each game ended with drama and vitriol, and fewer people willing to take part in further games or even speak to one another. But my partner and I put way too much time, effort, and love into our characters to NOT do anything with them so here they are.

~*Here's some info about the game settings*~

Grandpa's Homebrew Pathfinder (Universe A on the relationship chart):

Most of these characters are from a single setting, in which there was a just and benevolent king who ruled over the continent blah blah blah until the literal portals to Hell opened up and demons (fiends) killed the king and rampaged across the countryside. Things were really bad for a while, but eventually most of the demons were pushed back and the portals were closed and people started to rebuild. This lead to a great demand for adventurers, who were equipped to fight the demons that remained as well as the monsters that just exist in the world because D&D. This is also why some characters have a Sign on their page: it's their astrological sign but in this setting, those are represented by the Major Arcana.

SINCE NONE OF THESE GAMES EVER GOT AN ACTUAL ENDING, WE WROTE OUR OWN. EAT IT, GRANDPA.

Yang & Elaryn: from a campaign set immediately after the portals closed, in a desert country heavily inspired by India and the Middle East. The third campaign actually played. These characters were part of an adventuring guild that got caught up in some ~politics~ and decided to NOPE out of there and just do Crimes instead. Eventually, Elaryn goes insane after watching the only family she's ever known die and Yang becomes a sword.

Maeleth & Ulmesi: AKA I was told I could not play a succubus so I played one anyway. From some time after that campaign, these characters were removed from the space-time continuum during session 1 and tasked with manipulating the timeline so that the king never got killed. Ended up getting all the McGuffins, decided the king was better off dead, and straight up did a murder on the annoying purple dragon that put them up to the task in the first place. This campaign was the second one we actually played, and it was my most favorite and most ideal. 

Catarina & Tasnim: from even later, these two were your run-of-the-mill adventurers. This was the first campaign that was actually played. Presumably their guild eventually stopped those wacky cultists. Tasnim later finds Sword!Yang.


Badman's Homebrew D&D (Universe C):

I didn't actually play in these games but my partner did :V  I don't know anything about this setting other than the astrological signs were different, and eventually it got a major rework so that there wasn't magic in it anymore. My partner played Ed, who was later impersonated by Tasnim, who had gotten so drunk that she somehow left Grandpa's setting and ended up in this one. After the rework, my partner played Amani.


My partner's setting (Universe B):

Tired of games falling apart and trying to prove a point, my partner ran their own campaign, the only one to ever reach any sort of conclusion. They learned that a) there's no excuse to just let a campaign end with a big wet fart, b) D&D 4E is garbage, and c) the group of people we had been playing with up until this point......might not be all that great!!!

In this campaign, Ulmesi (the favorite child) made a cameo, because if you can manipulate time, you can also manipulate space, as both are fake.
The player characters proceeded to get the Bad End, which my partner treated as actually ending the world.

The world has since been remade, and it is a festering abomination. The cataclysm that ended the world previously has left a profound impact. My partner's running a campaign in this setting now (WITH DIFFERENT PLAYERS), and there's a handful of fleshed-out NPCs, including Keir. Ulmesi returned to the world, saw that it had been destroyed and remade (poorly), and sent Tasnim (and Yang by extension) (also some frogs) to keep an eye on it. 

The most recent group of player characters successfully resolved a power struggle/impending civil war! Good for them! Maybe this universe will end up Not Garbage!

I played a game in this setting! 5 years after the civil war was stopped, Tifreth & Brynhild unraveled some evil wizard plots :O Ulmesi made another cameo because why not.


My setting (Universe B*):

In the far future of an alternate version of Universe B, Tiphreth and Brunhild's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson employs Lia to continue his ancestor's quest: to find the lost city of Atlantis. YES THIS IS THE PLOT OF THE STARFINDER CAMPAIGN I'M RUNNING, YES THE ENTIRE PARTY IS TAKING DRASTIC MEASURES TO AVOID IT.
