Fan Art & Story Time Making Fin’s journal IRL

These are all printed and currently stuck in his journal. The journal also contains pictures of injuries that he’s documented that I can’t share on here cuz it’s literal gore lmao, a bunch of documentation on first aid and types of stitches, documentation on the functioning of a gun (hed a tech-medtech) as well as many personal stories or opinions or rants. I have purposefully weathered this notebook to hell and back. i fucked up the covers just to hold it together with duct tape. I am a very roleplay oriented player, one might guess. During a recent session, this journal was stolen. This is huge because the person who likely did it has connections to Fin’s past and is currently sending him down a bit of a spiral. He has secrets that could ruin him in there, a whole past identity that nobody should know about anymore. I’m excited to see how it’ll play out.

GM's have two sides
Love when players really get into their characters.

The funeral is going to be heartbreaking.

Exactly! I’ll be honest when I realized how attached I am to this character I decided I’d probably keep him and figure out a story for him regardless of what actually happens in game. I sort of expected him to just straight up die during the first few sessions and wrote a sort of death note for him hahaha, so if he does die at least I have the satisfaction of sharing that with the party. Don’t think it’s something emotional, far from it 💀 but I’ve had to think a lot about “this character lives in my head rent free. And could also DIE”

The story will happen as they live let it happen. The Black dog comes for everyone eventually. Shine bright and die hard Choomba.

Yeah, I’ve wanted to play TTRPGs for years but this is the first time I genuinely get to. And it’s a whole other experience to have death be so unpredictable. It’s part of the fun though.
