Hello all,
Many of you might be aware of a piece of legislation currently in the process of being passed in the EU, Article 13. It's been designed to protect copyright, however its design is causing a lot of concern in the artistic community - especially those of us who make a living off art.
I'm going to keep watch to see how this situation develops, but it strikes me that uploading content of other peoples' characters (ie., the backbone of what I do here) may become very difficult if this legislation goes through. Further than that, finding customers in the first place may become very difficult.
Furthermore, some people are saying that Article 13 will bring about the end of social media. I'm not sure how that can be - it sounds incredibly drastic, but I'd rather prepare for the worst case scenario than get caught unawares. So with that in mind, I'm thinking about finding an alternative way to stay in touch and conduct business.
Is anybody interested in making email contact? Essentially it could be like a newsletter service but with some tweaks.
If that sounds like something you would like to do, email me on thecharacterconsultancy - at - gmail.com. At this point I'm just starting to pull together ideas for what an email-based service like this will look like, so I'm open for suggestions. Just to get you started:
- Would you be happy to be part of a mass mailing list / would you prefer to be contacted 1:1 only?
- Would you want to see new content, and would you rather have it emailed directly to you or linked to you?
- How often would you consider it acceptable to be contacted?
- Would you want to take part in group discussions, just get the new content I make, or neither (ie., make contact with me initially only and only contact me or others when you want to be contacted)?
Whatever happens with Article 13, there will be a way around it. If it goes through it'll be rough for a lot of people, but a little preparation like this should help us all to weather it.
To help spread the word, I have written a tweet. Please reblog this tweet and spread the word.
P.S: Is anyone reading this a writer or artist who works on a commission basis? It might be worth us getting in touch so that we can stay in contact with one another. Let me now what you think.

I have a Wizard name Effie, She is a high elf that is 5'2" (Small high elf) She has palish skin and black hair and green eyes. She has a younger face but still looks like an adult, Serious Expression. (20). She wears black scholar robes. Has a small satchel (brown) The biggest thing I would like done is her hat, Effie has a really big wizard hat, it acts as a tent basically. It's the same color as her robes. The hat is a standard wizard hat where the rim of the hat is a big circles and the top where the head goes is a little crinkled and pointed toward the back She has a staff and a Cluster of obsidian crystals (Both do not need to be included but preferred.) I would prefer a drawing not super realistic almost cartoonish/animeish but somewhere in between, more so towards realism though.

Unfortunately, the comments on the group front page only notifies moderators!
- One of the characters is a paladin that doesn't use weapons to fight. Instead, he uses 2 shields. His favourite move is smashing someone's head in between his shields like cymbals.
- One character drank a weird potion and then jumped 70 feet in the air and landed on top of an enemy wizard, killing it instantly
- That same character also pissed off a goddess at one point, to which she threw him with the force of a cannon straight through a giant spider that we were in battle with. He lived.
- At one point in the early game, our DM created an NPC to be somewhat of a friendly rival to the party. But that's not what happened. Literally, every one of us got attached to him and we decided to take him on our adventures because we love him so much. He's been travelling with us ever since. He's become the dad friend/husbando of the group.
- The DM creates a tavern for us and says to me "Kenzie! name this tavern." I panic for a second and spit out "The Happy Catface." So now there's a tavern in town called The Happy Catface. The bartender is a depressed looking adult man that is sick of his job and wants nothing to do with life anymore.
- My character Finn has a passive perception of 17 (hella broken, I know) while everyone else has a passive perception of like 11 or 12. This results in Finn being able to just.. SEE EVERYTHING. Sometimes my DM doesn't even make me take a perception check to see something.
There have been SO MANY MEMES in this game it's unreal. Some inside jokes from my campaign need so much context to actually be funny I could write pages on how ridiculous we are.
But I guess that's ho a lot of D&D games go :'^)
I'd like to share a classic "rule debate" I had in today's session and get your feedback. I'm new to 5e, but an old player.
One of the characters in the game is a Dragonborn. He got into a late night fight with a few thieves that wanted to relieve him of his coin purse. Well, when the poor guttersnipes decided to attack the raggedy looking big thing in the robes, walking aimlessly on the docks at night, they got a cone of fire in their face. Well, he ended up killing one of the thugs and 2 got away, fleeing the fight. I made a roll to see if anyone noticed the commotion on the docks, or saw the 15' cone of fire flash and/or hear the screams of the poor unfortunate thieves. The dock watch heard and saw the commotion and went into action. The players heard the watchman's whistle go off and they started to panic. The more street sauvee rouge that was with the Dragonborn made a run for it and got the two of them into a boot anchored off the pier and they hid under the boat tarp. During the battle the Dragonborn took serious damage(1/2 his HP) and they had no skill or made any effort to bandage his wounds. The watchmen rolled a perception check and made it. They tracked the daring duo (blood trail left by the stuck dragonborn) and he got busted hiding under the tarp. So, the guards took the him in to the sector jailhouse and beat up the Dragonborn all night. They wanted him nice and soft for questioning in the morning by the city captain. There are standing orders to the watch to detain any perpetrators for swift justice in the mornings.The city is quite civilized in that respect.
Nothing like a quick clean morning execution!
The rogue had slipped out of the boat and swam to safety. Leaving the Dragonborn behind.The Dragonborn did not have a swimming skill, so he didn't try it.
This particular area of the world doesn't look kindly on hybrid races. So, the guards enjoyed beating the prisoner all night. It was a great diversion for the city militia and they almost killed him. He lost an additional 2 hp from the beating.
I thought I was being gracious because, theoretically he could have bled out.
He's a protagonist/player and where is the fun in that?
So, he was ready to blow the guard house up with his breath attack again (or try) but, I said no. You haven't really rested enough to recuperate your breath weapon. One of the players argued that it had been hours since the night before and he should be able to do it.I ruled that the untended wounds and beatings negated his ability to rest.
They saw my logic at the end and we continued.
So, Tyrant or Saint? Which was I? Lol it was fun.
To answer your question, I don't think you were saint or tyrant, impartial mediator more like it which is what DMs should strive for in my opinion
