#oc #dnd gaming afternoon
Richard and Ydren playing dragonchess by the window with warm sunlight from outside illuminating them. Left side of the spread is a sketch of a dragonchess set with the following write-up: "Dragonchess: I've come across them in my odd job days. It's a staple in aristocrat households and scholar halls. I never had the chance to play one until invited by the young master. Seems complicated at a glance. Actually doesn't take long to learn. I quickly become unmatched in the mansion, however, one opponent remains undefeated, Lord Percival. A match with him keeps taking twists in ways I couldn't ever replicate during self practice. I suspect he's been switching the pieces mid match but I cannot prove it."

It took three months of near-continuous work, but I finally finished my dragonchess set! Next up is the storage box, which I've been designing the art for.

Really obnoxious tiefling artificer who's also a dragonchess grandmaster. Will make sure you know what en passant is and Will insist on trying to apply chess strategies to every combat encounter

Came up with a cool chess idea for my DnD game, but then I thought, "It's called dragonchess in game. Probably the same thing but they renamed the pieces. I'll look up what they're called for accuracy." Did some research, found out dragonchess is its own 3 layer chess game with new pieces. Neat.

"Aylin, this is delicious, *OURPH!* but is that all you've brought? I'd love another basket of sweets...and some robes that are a bit larger, if this tummy isn't any indication! Oh, you have already! Come play another round of dragonchess with me, then! *FRRT!* I don't want to get up today..."

I was genuinely about to just ask for Chell from Portal until I remembered that she's canonically mute so a fat quote would be difficult... so here's the runner up in my brain, Isobel from Baldur's Gate 3~

After Dame Aylin returned she started spoiling her gf and Isobel became a cherished NEET~

A bust of a cheery brass dragon with a fan-shaped facial crest and a fin going down his back. He has scattered small horns on his chin and jaw. Behind him is a desert scene with sand dunes. The border around the bust is embellished with chess pieces at the top, a blank scroll, sleeping sheep and clouds, and sleeping camels at the bottom.

Good D&D session, today Melwe;

Has begun a plot to overthrow the Cloud Giant government within the day.
Has placed seeds of doubt in the minds of his cousins as part of a plot to kill his uncle.
Halfway understands the rules of Dragonchess.
Got drunk.

#charnameQOTD Ismene has a number of hobbies, but the two most prominent are dragonchess (which she learned from Gorion) and running scams with Imoen (initially for money before the adventuring started really paying out, now just for love of the game). She carries a portable chess set with her :)

Father's Day 2024.... happy Father's Day Gorion. I was in my triptych era. #BG1 🎨
A colored pencil and marker drawing of a triptych over a background of red curtains. In the center panel, Ismene plays dragonchess with Gorion, with Bhaal, unseen, indicating her next move. On the left, Imoen cheerfully assists Winthrop while covertly pocketing jewelry (observed by Bhaal). On the right, Rieltar chastises Sarevok, who attempts to read a letter- Bhaal's unseen hand resting on his shoulder.

G'raha Tia didn't believe Y'shtola when she refused to play dragonchess with Nel, until the Warrior of Light got fed up during one of their games (both with not knowing how to play and losing).

Meet Dragonchess: The Classic Game That Thinks in 3D
To me, Dragonchess is what happens when regular chess decides it's too predictable and adds a whole extra dimension of chaos. Imagine a classic strategy game where every board is its world, one in the sky, one on the ground, and one deep underground. It was dreamed up by Gary Gygax back in the '80s, but honestly, it still feels fresh today.

They have set off 3 alarm spells, 1 audible and 2 mental. They stole a dragonchess pieces made of cut rubies and sapphires. They also haven't figured out whose home this is, although they are atleast curious and worried.

So I look forward to these interactions next time, there still exploring.
