This month, we’re going to look at a challenging build; we’re going to be looking at a powerhouse of muscle and stone, in the form of Goliath from the Disney series Gargoyles. Examining Goliath Goliath is either extremely simple or extremely challenging. If what you think of as ‘Goliath’ when you think of the character […]

We have a bit of a special one this month: Not a character I know, or am familiar with, but who has been in my life and around me for some time. We’re going to look at the character Daryun from The Heroic Legend of Arslan, a novel series some thirty-five years old, which was […]

Now, are you prepared? No. No, you are not prepared. We’re going to talk about how you can become Illidan Stormrage. Examining Illidan Weewwwww, could I instead, not do that? I mean, I’m not trying to be a bummer here, but Blizzard lore isn’t exactly consistent. The World of Warcraft story featuring Illidan started in […]

It’s April, it’s Talen Month, and that means we’re going to talk about a character I’ve wanted to talk about for a long time, and a character who I have a deep appreciation for.

And, it seems that this month is full of references to Ranma […]

You know, last year we did a bunch of characters who could be seen as fitting the genre of a combative adventurer reasonably well, and maybe it’s time to try some stuff that’s a bit more weird. With that in mind, let us reach wide, with our tiny, tiny arms, and look at ME GRIMLOCK! […]

And this month, before we talk about our subject, though I mean she’s in the subject of the blog post that you just clicked on so I mean what are we going to cover, suddenly a swerve and it’s going to be about trotting out pairs of characters that can be Bert and Ernie from […]

This month, we’re going to examine overlapping skillsets as we look at not creating a character but creating a group of characters: The trio of monster hunters from the Fang-Em-Up Netflix anime, Castlevania. Oh hey, two months in a row where a disclaimer is necessary, boo hoy hey howdy! Turns out that since I wrote […]
