I'm playing around the idea of the next side comic story being D&D inspired. I like the idea of it affecting a group of 4. We can watch how all 4 of them change and react to their changes. But I'm not sure how much of the story takes place inside of the game and how much of the story takes place in the real world. How much of the game world should affect the real world?

So I'll open the floor to you loyal deciders. 

So you want to see them changed in the game world? real world? or both?

Should they be all still be human? only as far as elves, or is anyone a tiefling walking around in the real world?

What are you favorite character race (ancestry) and class combinations?

I want to see a player changed into a faun in the real world 👀

roseleaf

Like Faun faun, or like a Satyr or a Centaur?

xf6zzm

Female satyr. Though Centauress would also be very good!

roseleaf

I think satyr would be fun. Glad to see Critical Role's Fearne generate a bunch of Satyr art. I've played a Satyr a couple times. I want to play a centar.

LOVE this cap, lady barbarians are one of my favorite character types in DnD, I pretty much always play one! I wouldn’t mind seeing an orc sorceress, love the trope of the big but brainy guy or girl

Natalia

I always like the smaller size changes. Halfling girl or even fairy etc. I like this concept and it should definitely be an IRL change also

roseleaf

I have yet to play a barbarian. I'm looking forward to the release of the Path of the Giant Barbarian. I want to play that so much. Last night I started a campaign as a half-orc wizard. She's a super nerd and huge. It's gonna be so much fun. She did get killed and immediately got back up with orc powers.

roseleaf

Fairy would be super fun. Halfing would also have some interesting irl implications.

Oh extreme shrinking! Fairy in game, tiny shrunken girl in real world

TrueRonin88

This is an interesting one. I would say they start to resemble their characters outside of the game.

I'd love to see a story about in-game changes affecting the players out of games. I feel like some races/ancestries might be a bit too much for IRL changes, but tiefling or yuan-ti pureblood could be quite fun!

roseleaf

Yeah, that's where I'm trying to feel things out. Where is the line for too far. I haven't played a Yuan-ti yet. Those are the snake based ones?

roseleaf

It adds a fun element more than just in the game.

TrueRonin88

Assuming mages are able to use magic out of game, glamor spells can certainly help to disguise the less human races. That or those races are able to shift into a more human form

roseleaf

That will have to be decided. Magic will exist for them to end up like this in the first place. But I don't want to give them the option just go back to normal and avoid things.

TrueRonin88

It could be that the spell is permanent on while they can make changes they can't fully go back to their old bodies and the new bodies becomes their default one. Lots of ways for you to make it work

roseleaf

There are options. Basically, I'll have to come up with fairly rigid rules about how magic works before the story starts. Similarly, the rules for nanobots were pretty much set before Steph's story started.

Dealing with the consequences is 80% of what I like about TF

Natalia

It could be limited by power level. Like if someone gets turned into a 5ft 1in woman with green skin and elf ears it could be the case that they only have enough mana to maintain either an ears glamour OR a skin color glamour but they can’t make themselves taller or change their voice/facial structure/gait. Or some combination of those elements etc.

roseleaf

It could also depend on the class or ancestry. Playing around with some ideas. Maybe they don't stand out in the 'real world'.
