Personality Traits

I lie about almost everything, even when there’s no good reason to. I pocket anything I see that might have some value.

Ideals

Independence. I am a free spirit—no one tells me what to do. (Chaotic)

Bonds

I fleeced the wrong person and must work to ensure that this individual never crosses paths with me or those I care about.

Flaws

I’m convinced that no one could ever fool me the way I fool others.

Hey guys, Midnight Grind has a tumblr! 

Update:

Had a really bad day today, guys. Got some really upsetting news that hopefully turns out to be just a big scare and nothing more. My husband's work is really putting the screws to him and long story short, he may end up losing his job.

We're hoping that doesn't happen and that this is just their idiotic way at "motivating" him, but we never know. This place is always threatening him with the loss of his job, it's like the Sword of Damocles hanging over us all the time.

Wouldn't mind being a level 20 cleric with automatic Divine Intervention right about now...

Hypothetical D&D Party

Updates:

Hey everybody, just thought I'd give a quick update on things here at Midnight Grind.

Recently my husband and I have been thinking about getting on the Twitch train to start streaming various games. Our usual set up is that he plays and I navigate/provide commentary, and of course we love to goof off and have fun.

Would anyone be interested in seeing a husband/wife duo tackle video games with silliness and glee?

If so, we'll be starting up a channel called Gamer Gerblins, so leave us a comment or a note with any advice, tips or encouragement as we begin setting things up and doing our best to get something going. ^^

Personality Traits

I’m always picking things up, absently fiddling with them, and sometimes accidentally breaking them. I feel far more comfortable around animals than people.

Ideals

Nature. The natural world is more important than all the constructs of civilization. (Neutral)

Bonds

An injury to the unspoiled wilderness of my home is an injury to me.

Flaws

Don’t expect me to save those who can’t save themselves. It is nature’s way that the strong thrive and the weak perish.

Our Battle Bard debut is tomorrow around 7pm Eastern Standard Time. I have no idea how Nix and Nax will get along as kids, but we'll find out soon enough!

2 days!

The new campaign with DM_S starts up this Thursday! Nix and Nax are kinda ready, our third player is a mystery, but we're ready to play!

😃

I think my husband is a bard in hiding...

My husband is playing Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey & hunting down nation leaders. So he turns to me & says:

Him: “You know how I find out who the new leader is?”

Me: “How?”

He lines up a predator arrow & shoots the leader in the face from 73m out & says: “I make his eye-quaintance!”

Quick! Where can I find 24 mounts? lol

Personality Traits

I would rather make a new friend than a new enemy. I am incredibly slow to trust. Those who seem the fairest often have the most to hide.

Ideals

Charity. I steal from the wealthy so that I can help people in need. (Good)

Bonds

I’m guilty of a terrible crime. I hope I can redeem myself for it.

Flaws

I turn tail and run when things look bad. An innocent person is in prison for a crime that I committed. I’m okay with that.

Get Ready For:

Battle Bards!

That's right! My husband and I came up with the idea to both be bards for the next campaign run by DM_S. Both are Changelings but planning on attending different colleges.

Nix will be a College of Glamour bard.

Nax will be a College of Whispers bard.

I really wanted to be College of Lore, especially since in DM_J's campaign there's a College of Glamour bard and I really don't like how their player plays them, but I ultimately decided to give it a try and I can always change my mind later if I don't like it.

Get your Weave deck here!

DM_S likes to have us draw from The Weave deck, not sure if you've seen it, but it's really cool. He let us draw two cards. Card #1 is something woven into your character somehow, and card #2 is your character's fear.

I drew The Stag for #1, so I'll have a birthmark roughly shaped like a deer that doesn't go away no matter what I shapeshift myself into. For card #2 I drew The Mountain. Since I didn't want to be afraid of mountains, I looked into what mountains symbolize, and I got the following: "Mountains can also be used to create a secluded, isolated or hard to reach place. Such a place could symbolize loneliness."
So I sent DM_S this message: That could explain why Nix chose the College of Glamour? She never wanted to be alone, so she chose a college that would make it easier for her to make friends?" Anyway, it's official now: Nix is afraid of being alone and chose the path of glamour, no matter how superficial it may be.

Will Nix and Nax date or be together for this campaign? We're not sure! We both think it would be cute/funny if we started dating in character, but if it doesn't happen then we're not going to force it.

We also don't expect to last very long, but it will be funny if we can make it past level 5. Otherwise I'm not sure what my backup character would be. What do you guys think?

Bard Outfit?

DM_S: Campaign 1 Complete!

Updates!

Our Fallen Hero's campaign is officially over! Here's hoping DM_S is done with his scripting/railroading. If he isn't, I'm fully prepared to give him an earful.

He says he's inspired by Fable, about choices and having those choices affect what happens in the campaign, but he certainly hasn't shown it to any of us. No matter what we did, he had a script for it.

In the end, though, we were level 18. The solar that was threatening us appeared to each of us and threatened us with eternal damnation. Only my cleric was spared by ascending into her goddess' choir.... whatever that means.

For his next campaign, he has said we will be starting off as children, and so the child with the affinity for music will be a bard and so forth.

Really hoping it goes better than this first campaign, but I was willing to cut him some slack since he's said we're his longest lasting group.

Fingers crossed.

My friends know they can rely on me, no matter what. To me, a tavern brawl is a nice way to get to know a new city.

Dice Box

I was thinking this would make a wonderful little dice box, what do you guys think? Maybe a little thing I could make and sell if you guys were interested.

Let me know in the comments if you'd like me to make something like this and have it available in a shop.

Thanks!

D&D Notes

Hey guys! Just wanted to give you guys a little D&D update. ^^

I have three games going on right now: two in which I am a player (with DM_S for one and DM_J for the other) and one where I am the DM. I don't think I've discussed DM_J on here before, so here we go!

Name	Race	Class	Subclass	Level
Bryn	Elf	Rogue	Inquisitor	7
Charfeather	Aasimar	Paladin/Fighter	Oath of Redemption	6
Hud	Minotaur	Barbarian	Path of the Ancestral Guardian	7
Kelrith	Dragonborn	Cleric/Monk	Way of the Open Hand	7
Nahuatl	Yuan-Ti Pureblood	Cleric	Grave Domain	7
Nou Bodi	Tiefling	Rogue	Arcane Trickster	7
Petty	Tabaxi	Bard	College of Glamour	7
Rillette	Firbolg	Druid	Circle of the Land	7

I'm playing Nahuatl, a former hermit who pledged her life to the group after they saved her from being killed by pirates. Back then the group consisted of Charfeather, Nou, Petty, and Briar, a Wood Elf ranger. Briar has left fairly recently after she was alerted of the death of her father, and her player is now Rillette. I guess she just wanted a change of pace, which is fine.

Nahuatl looked up to Briar, though, so her sudden leaving has hit her pretty hard. She's upset that Briar didn't think to tell them about her father's death, and that she left without seeking their help or comfort, so it will take her some time to even begin trusting Rillette.

Kelrith, on the other hand... it is difficult for me to keep player (male) and character (female) separate. I dislike the player and the character isn't really much better. She wanted to waterboard a kobold we were having a civil conversation with.

But! That is a different post for a different time!

Since Nahuatl is having such mixed feelings about the new group dynamic, I asked DM_J if he needed me to keep a journal for her to keep track of thoughts, feelings, etc. He said I could if I wanted to so of course I had to. Here's her first official entry:

*~*~*~*

(from the session taking place February 27, 2019)

[in Abyssal]

The barracks insists on sending an army to "take care of" the kobolds in the mines. I am wholeheartedly certain they intend to destroy them in order to obtain this "glorn" that fell from the heavens. I sent a message to the kobold who recognized me, warning them the army was coming; I hope it aids in their preparation, else I will send another with any details I can find.

Still no word from Briar, I am tempted to send her a message as well, or at the very least a letter, though I know not to where I would address it. It seems the druid we met in the library is intent on staying and the dragonborn we found in the cart has also decided to accompany us.

My feelings towards them are mixed and perhaps my judgement clouded. I pledged my life to the original members of the group, but now only Charfeather, Nou, & Petty remain; my oath stands with them and them alone, though I do find Hud's company calming, and seek to protect him to the best of my ability.


I will pray for guidance and, perhaps more importantly, patience.
