@cursebreakerelliot.bsky.social Araxie shows up to the function 10 minutes late with a half empty flask of alcohol and we love her for it! I love that we got to see her through every crisis she's had & I'm looking forward to finding out what she's decided to do now that there's no legacy to protect

Time to talk about @cursebreakerelliot.bsky.social, who plays Araxie in our #TheBetween campaign on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social.

Elliot is a great player and has rolled with all of the many punches coming Araxie's way, including nearly turning into a vampire and being abducted by a demon.

1/3

Character art for Elliot's character Araxie Elizabeth Justice, from The Between on twitch.tv/starcrawlrpg, livestreamed Saturdays at 4pm Eastern Time/9pm British Time.

The artwork depicts a woman, wearing a military outfit looking as if to challenge whoever happens to be in front of her, holding a halberd with gold decorations.

Midnight’s allergies are in HELL MODE, but I’m wiped clean post-bills and an invoice is stuck between PayPal and the bank.

This would cover her steroid shot and general check up. Anything helps 🖤

Wiz has put up with our shenanigans as we crack our silly jokes, and has pulled no punches as our characters suffer the consequences of their actions. I could easily play another year of this game with him, if only we had the time.

Mods are asleep, quick say nice things about our Mastermind, @wizardstyles.bsky.social 👀 This was my first long form horror game, and I have wholeheartedly enjoyed every session. You've taken all of our shenanigans and subversion of normal play in stride and really brought together a wonderful tale.

@wizardstyles.bsky.social You've fostered such a fun & collaborative table. You have handled a game that has a very colonial premise and embraced our desires as players to play but also not comply with the empire.
Thank you.

Also I appreciate that all our actions had consequences. ^_^

You've also inspired me to run a game of The Between of my own! It has all in all been an incredible experience for me, and I cherish every moment of it. Thanks for making this whole thing so great, and I hope I get to play at another Starcrawl table with you in the future!

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

@jienbirb.bsky.social Your comedic timing is balanced so well with Ash's more poignant moments. I love how much you've leaned into being the fey lodestone of London and party pincushion, and it's been such a joy getting to play at table with you!

As the finale of our #TheBetween campaign on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social is approaching, I want to shout out the fantastic players at the table, starting with @jienbirb.bsky.social, playing Ash, who has not only stepped up as our producer but also started the #WetGod and nonbinary magic in-jokes.

More appreciation for the cast of #TheBetween on @starcrawlrpg.bsky.social, this time for @renegadedumpling.bsky.social

Ren has both leaned into the disaster witch aspect of Noelani, and into summoning dark entities that always look like slightly wrong versions of people Noelani is close to.

1/3

Character art for Ren's character Noelani Astoria Clemence, from The Between on twitch.tv/starcrawlrpg, livestreamed Saturdays at 4pm Eastern Time/9pm British Time

The artwork shows a woman wearing a high quality shirt and skirt, holding tarot cards in one hand and summoning a purple flame in the other, her cat a little to the right.

@renegadedumpling.bsky.social You are are lovely. I appreciate how understated Noelani is until it is time to tell someone about themself or do magic mess. I am also rooting for Noelani and Sataya to make it! Thank you for being Leander's platonic gossip and dance partner!

Ren is such a great person and has played Noelani so well - you feel like she's the most normal, then get smacked in the face with the reminder that Noelani is in fact regularly consorting with dark spirits.

The Prologue will follow the Hands of the Rift, a historic group of heroes, and their defense of their home, Glimmerwood. And though this is the first and last time we will see them, and though they are forgotten, the echoes of their actions will be felt across the planes for millennia to come.

Now that our heroes are assembled, the time draws near to take you on our tale! Join us on Sunday, November 9th over on our YT channel for Echoes of the Forgotten, Prologue 1: Hand over Hand

Waste not your prayers on our heroes, dear listeners. Their fate is inescapable.

#EotF #dnd #TTRPG

A closed book sits on a wooden desk. Strewn about the desk are a blue potion, a scroll sealed with a black ribbon and red wax seal embossed with a shield design, a candle, a wooden medallion carved with a hand slightly closed around an eye, a vial containing black smoky tendrils that are shaped like hands attempting to claw their way out, and a bronze medal depicting a raised fist, on a red ribbon that says "The Bronze Fist" on it.

To the left of the book are portraits of Ren, Anna Maeve, and Bear. To the right of the book are portraits of Kay, Ian, and Emma.

On the cover of the book are slightly glowing words that say:
"Soup Dumpling Media presents
Echoes of the Forgotten
a legacy D&D 5e audio drama
Premiering Sunday, November 9th"

The characters are, from left to right:

A changeling with silvery green hair, leaning back casually, their black cat next to them.

A woman, wearing a military outfit looking as if to challenge whoever happens to be in front of her, holding a halberd with gold decorations.

A woman wearing high quality shirt and skirt, holding tarot cards in one hand and summoning a purple flame in the other, her cat a little to the right.

In the background, the ghostly, floating figure of a woman with a bleeding head wound as well as skeletal hands, an autopsy hammer with blood on it and a broken pocket watch floating above them.

A tall man wearing a fine outfit including a tailcoat with blue floral brocade. He is holding a doctor's bag.

Transparent in the background is the looming figure of an older man in a suit and top hat with a full white beard and glowing green eyes, leaning on a gnarled stick.

Rounding out our roster is our baby barbarian!

🦋A certified wild child and "licensed adventurer", Bertie is here to help! Unless of course you're a bully. Alas, there are some problems best left to be handled by adults...

But then who will save the adults if they all go missing?

#EotF #dnd #TTRPG

A book sits open on a wooden desk. Strewn about the desk are a scroll sealed with a black ribbon and red wax seal embossed with a shield design, a purple gladiolus flower, a tarnished butterfly brooch, and a sweet roll with a bite taken out of it.

The portrait on the left is a brown skinned individual with dark, short, curly hair and short beard, wearing an off white linen shirt. The text reads under the portrait reads "Soup Bear, they/he, soupbear"

The portrait on the right is of a tan skinned girl with curly red hair. She wears a dark blue and gree tricorne hat, a dark blue coat over white shirt, and a green scard. The picture appears to be from the perspective of someone much taller than her. The text under the portrait reads "Berthilde "Bertie" Schur-Oliveira, she/her, Human Barbarian, Path of Wild Magic." There is also a blue crayon drawing of a small cluster of lilac flowers.
