The CQL/CritRole/StrangerThings crossover nobody needed, except my brain when I saw Taliesin wearing his "Ghost Dad" shirt on CR C3E41.
He really should be conjuring dice or something, but, um, I didn't actually have a full-image concept in mind when I started, which is also why the background is just blobs of colour. I also didn't have the stamina/time to figure the DM screen out, perspective-wise and colour-wise, etc., so it's half-hidden in the blobs of colour, which is a shame because I did go to the trouble of tracing out the lotus design from the Lotus Pier doors. Oh well. I could've worked on the whole thing more, but I when I realised Father's Day was coming up, I set myself this artifical deadline, so here we are.
WWX's almost-kinda bi pride flag hair was kinda accidental (a combination of Taliesin's purple hair and Yiling Laozu Red), but hey, it's pride month. Might as well lean into it with the colour scheme.
Eddie made it into the mix because I needed a D&D-ish reference pose, but I think if the MDZS characters got together for a round of D&D, it should be NHS DMing. JGY would be a rogue (yes he's alive and well in this scenario, and so is JYL, who's providing the snacks). LXC isn't sure how it all works, but JGY wanted him there, so he's smiling along and playing a paladin. He'll end up getting super into it, but he's so restrained that no one will see him coming. LWJ does not see the appeal at all, but will end up backseat-rules-lawyering, much to everyone's annoyance and WWX's delight. If NHS wasn't DMing, he'd be a bard, but I'm making him DM. WWX is multiclassing an artificer + blood hunter + possibly some Unearthed Arcana/ homebrew concoction. LSZ is a cleric. WN is a ranger. At some point he accidentally adopts a bunny animal companion and LWJ starts quietly fuming. WWX is delighted. LJY is a wizard and selects his spells based on hilarity, not utility. JC is a fighter. OZZ is a bard. NMJ is a barbarian. He only turns up for the fights.
ANYWAY. Um. I did a thing. Enjoy?
