Sadia drew from references including 18th-century statuary and illuminations, historical armor, modern illustration, kathakaḷi performances, kaḷarippayaṟṟŭ demonstrations, and of course item numbers from Indian film. When it comes to blood and fangs, they're the best. (5/5)

Her outfit and armor come from an earlier mockup by costume designer Ella MacZura, adapting kathakaḷi dress into supervillain garb. Her weapon, a floating killer seven-pointed star, is the Rakṣastraṁ — the celestial missile form of @TimeForMars's Masks PC, Star Sentinel. (4/5)

She's a dancer, martial artist, and aspiring actor whose career derailed when her rākṣasi traits manifested. Now she uses her power to hunt the wicked and protect her loved ones. If you follow my work, you know the rākṣasan ties with the orc as my favorite monster. (3/5)

Item Girl originated as the villainous nemesis of MC Trancephorm, another PC of mine; but she's become an antihero in her own right. I've played her in Vampire, Monsterhearts, My Jam, Apocalypse World, and since 2018, Masks: a New Generation from @MagpieOfficial. (2/5)

I'm mostly on bsky and tumblr rn, but I'm making an exception to post @sadiabies's illustration of Item Girl (C.S. Pūja), my most-played RPG character of all time. Commission Sadia here: https://t.co/CjEQpWNATw The story behind this illustration is in the 🧵 (1/5)

so one time james and i got daydrunk (well, at the very least, i was tipsy) at gen con and he ended up telling me the story of how one player named dave just did not love the vibe of his game and john stavropoulos changed ttrpg safety forever
When @LulaVampiro (James Mendez Hodes) casually mentioned that he was there when John Stavropoulos created the X-Card, well, we had to learn more. Turns out, it's all because of one player, named Dave. Everyone say, "Thank you, Dave!" https://t.co/iNXj7Sco9M

serious answer: religious design (prob some other cultural consulting events too, but that's my best) unserious answer: fuckable NPCs no j/k the second is also a serious answer
If TTRPG's had an Olympics, which event could you place gold in? Whether its roleplay related, taking notes, or stacking dice towers. What event would you honorably represent your play group in?

Blackthorne: Of all the MCs to have graced the airwaves, Drake is doubtless the greatest of all time. His charisma, his clever jabs, his emotion—how could one who allied with Taylor Swift ever match his lyricism? Mariko: The Anjin has not heard of any rappers other than Drake.
