Will there be a discord server in the future?
There is a Discord server that just opened this weekend! The invite link is public, on my twitter profile and in my .Carrd. ^^!
Alexander is a worshipper of the godclaw, so that makes him a Hellknight but for a Hellknight is got a kind heart. I don't know much about the Hellknights since I only played the Pathfinder videogame but are some of them kindhearted or did Alexander abandoned them cause he felt there ways were wrong?
Good-aligned Hellknights are a rarity in Golarion, the intensity of their doctrine tends to force them to be Lawful Neutral at best. Alexander actually begins his journey as a Lawful Evil character at level 1 and it's the Angel/Legend path he follows that leads him to Lawful Good. I like to imagine that Alexander was a failed armiger of the Order of the Godclaw, likely falling short of their expectations and being turned away from the order very early on. Iomedae, Torag, Irori, Abadar, and Asmodeus all have valuable lessons to offer in his opinion, so he holds onto the pantheon even though he is not officially part of the Godclaw order.
Inquisitors are usually given a wider leash for activities by their deities than clerics or paladins are, so Alexander's many non-lawful decisions don't bring him into too much conflict with the Godclaw, so long as his primary goals remain the same. Thank you for the question ^^!
You think paladins use Smites in bed?
Only when they are confronting great evil! But yes haha, I like to imagine there are sexy applications for Smite Evil. Greater accuracy, power, and stimulation for the target.
I now realize that you have named the short hair drow. I need to read better. So can we get more Vrile?
Vrile will be the main subject of the next several Drow Story pages ^^ She might even be the first activated romance if people make the choices that lead to that.
Why did you choose the heavy ink style for yourself compared to other ways of drawing? Preference or enjoyment?
I think that it's just the way that I naturally leaned into drawing over the years. I enjoy gesture drawing a lot so a heavy brush usually allows me to give a lot of information with a single stroke. I've tried to draw with thinner, cleaner lines before, but it usually results in frustration for me if I spend too much time with the line art, I admire people who can do it confidently because finished and colored thin line art looks beautiful.
So since you've been playing Pathfinder (Adventure Paths or Videogames)any NPCs that really grab your heart? Minus Wenduag of course!
CRPG Kingmaker: Valerie has my heart and Nok-Nok has my love. Lantern is my favorite non-companion NPC, his voice his damn sexy and he has incredible presence.
CRPG WotR: Nenio is my favorite friend and Camellia is my favorite companion. I really enjoy Ember's companion story because forgiveness and redemption make my heart weep. Hand of the Inheritor is my favorite non-companion NPC, always want more of him.
AP Age of Ashes: My favorite NPCs have been; Voz Lirayne, Renali, and Kyrion.
Thank you for the question! :)
Have Alexander and Wenduag ever thought about starting a family after sealing the Worldwound?
Alexander admires the Neathers and wants to help them establish their nation, he is very much willing to choose them over Mendev and Drezen. I'm sure that eventually leads to a family, but probably years later when Wenduag is ready and the Saltlands are relatively stable. With the curse on their short lifespans lifted, they have a lot more time to just enjoy each other.
Can the short hair drow be the main character? I need more of her.
You are in luck! She is the second main character and a primary love interest of that little game :) We will be seeing more of her
Other than Pathfinder, what other games do you play?
Due to limited free time, I usually don't play much aside from Pathfinder these days. In years past though, my regulars were Skyrim (heavily modded), League of Legends (Gnar, Evelynn, and Sion), Darkest Dungeon, and Warhammer 40k tabletop (Grey Knights and Tyranids). ^^ Thank you for the question!
Maybe draw anonadyn giving a wholesome lay on hands shoulder rub to Drow Girl, the First, in return for the comfort piece?
Excellent use of Lay on Hands, thanks for the suggestion ^^

I know you’re getting into Pathfinder, have you checked out Pathfinder 2e? I find the system far better, and much more accommodating for people new to ttrpgs.
While I'm relatively new to the Golarion setting itself, I've been GMing games using the PF 1E rules for about 5 years now so I'm very familiar with them. ^^ I am actively collecting the rulebooks for 2E because I know that I'll eventually get into it and because I want to support Paizo's new releases. That said, I still feel that the PF 1E rules have content for my group to explore and enjoy so I'm happy to continue playing it for awhile longer for now. ^^ There are things from both rulesets that I sometimes prefer over the other so the 1E games that I GM contain a light sprinkling of adapted 2E content; mainly the 2E Ritual system, 2E EXP tracking, and 2E Hazards to name a few examples.
How do you feel about other major tabletop settings in general? Any parts of them missing from Golarion that you love? Any clear elements that make you prefer Golarion?
I'm actually relatively new to TTRPGs, I only started delving into the Golarion Setting 2 years ago when I started running PF Adventure Paths. So far I haven't felt anything missing from the setting and I've been collecting a lot of the campaign setting books from 1E and 2E to learn as much as I can.
I don't have a lot to compare it to since this is the first and only TTRPG setting that I've explored in detail, but I really enjoy the variety of nations, locations, and people across Golarion. I like the flow of important historical events and how unique each of the nations is from the next as well as how detailed each of those campaign setting books are. I love that there is a potential locale for just about every kind of game no matter the tone, genre, or subject matter.
I have no doubt that there are plenty of other ttrpg settings that are just as exciting and offer similarly varied content, but Golarion is the one that found its way into my heart first. I've been enjoying drawing lots of fanart for the setting, and I love seeing other people picking it up and taking interest in it as well.
So far, my favorite setting is the Ravounel area, I love the history of rebellion against tyranny and the potential challenges with Cheliax and Nidal as neighbors.
Howdy, I apoligiese if this question was repeated at some point in twitter, but what Deity/Oath/Virtue does our boi the Prisoner-now-Escapee follow? Or will that question be adress later once we find an oportunity to get a replacement for our Holy Simbol?
Hi! No worries, I haven't given much thought to a specific deity because I'm interested in keeping the Player character's background and abilities as vague as possible. Ultimately I might introduce a pantheon of the Good-aligned deities or a general ideal of "Holy Light" rather than one specific deity. The rest of the NPCs that you meet will have more direct connections to particular demon lords and other powerful patrons though.
Hi! After the recent page of the Drow CYOA, I was wondering what is Vrile's type? Or any of the other drow guards!
Hiya! So as the player recruits each new character into their party I plan to share those NPC's class and ability scores publicly. Vrile is a very classic Rogue -type character, unchained rogue specifically.
Str 10, Dex 18, Con 15, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 10. Two-weapon fighting, sneak attack, excellent acrobatic, stealth, and perception skills.
As for the leader (eye patch) Drow and the girl with the long bangs, they will remain unknown until we learn at least their names :)
