Tabletop Shennanigans

I'm really enjoying my new pathfinder character. The last two characters I've played have been either bookish-introvert-quiet, or sullen-distrustful-quiet; Viva the gnome sorceress is outgoing and ridiculously cheerful, and it's much, much easier for me to play. On Friday afternoon I found myself thinking "Oooh, in two hours I get to be someone who's ridiculously happy!"

Having an incredibly friendly character around is particularly useful when the party members include a (fantasy Japanese) character and an oni tiefling. And a paladin. Though our gamers are too damn nice, and our paladin player is new, so people haven't actually been as distrustful of the 350-pound half-devil who bathes in blood as they really should be.

I've been modifying a miniature to better portray Viva, particularly her crazy hair:





I'm quite proud of myself for managing to sculpt a tiny little ear.

I didn't have much back-story for her going in -- it's coming out in bits and pieces as I write her letters home. Her grandfather is suffering senile magical dementia and occasionally turns himself into things. Once he was a paisley ottoman for over a week. The family put their feet up on him while they researched how to change him back. Can't let a good ottoman go to waste.
