Well, if you haven't checked out her "Dust in the Wind" collaboration with Algal the Bard (on his channel) that's linked at the end of "House of the Rising Sun", definitely do that. I wouldn't consider myself an expert, but the "Bardcore" channel has quite a few playlists of period songs done in an instrumental 'bardcore' style, which seems like the popular approach. I have yet to run across anybody who does the 'full monty' (by which I mean, including vocals) as well as Hildegard does.
Ayoooo, Hildegard Von Blingin is my girl (not like in an IRL sense I just love her covers), she sings with the voice of an angel. Recently did a totally haunting version of "Hurt" and she's got some others that'll bring you to your knees.
That's half the fun.
Also "dive bar" 🤣🤣🤣
Konsi really reminds me a lot of my half-orc cleric, I think they'd be good buddies.
She's not the BIGGEST bad, but there's a major villain who's a bard type in Red Hand of Doom. (My players are about to meet her, actually.)
Everywhere I've seen them posted, the episodes are full length, but they DO have a much smaller cast, only 4 PCs, which was what hooked me.
I am sure that goblin is not a little mayhem engine at all. The one in my group definitely is not. Nooooo, sir.
Your drawing style is adorable.
The names are different but these map pretty well to the Approaches in FATE.
Storytime.
The campaign is Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. After being shunned by her family, my insecure half-orc cleric has fallen into split-ownership of some property, that she and the party finally settled on a plan for and made into a high-class club we called 'the Rising Tide'. Her crush (a buttoned-down and illegitimate, but very attractive, tiefling scion of some local nobles) showed up for the grand opening, and during their conversation, he assured her that a letter would be pretty welcome.
So the next day, when she spied a story about him in the local yellow rag, she took it as an opportunity. In short, she wrote something like "Hey, we all know the quality of story this idiot prints: I don't believe it, and I doubt anybody else does, but if you want to keep people from speculating on your romantic status, I'd be happy to hang around with you and discourage any admirers with ill intentions. HINT HINT."
Fast forward to the END of that day, after she and the rest of the party have spent several hours crawling through literal rivers of sewage, fighting gross monsters, and not getting very far on the actual plot. When we got back home, there was a letter waiting for my cleric--a reply already! Faster than she had ever moved before she ran up to her room, squealing "He wrote me baaaaaaack!" And spent the rest of the night cleaning up, reading, and re-reading her letter.
Yes, it turned out well.
My wife once played a Wizard with the Hermit background, and decided that the "secret she knew" was that she was a character in a game. She would periodically make references to older rule sets. Yes, THAC0 was name-dropped.
Oh hey, Princess, good to see you here too.
