I'm a bit dumb but.... who's May Bell?

Geoff Gilbert

*spoiler warning for the video* I'm glad to see N'Krasha encountered the undead and then roll a NAT 1 on her first attack! Lol!

Scabbers

Obviously Elliwyn didn't win... but if she did. This Rogue: Field Medic homebrew spec is really appropriate! It's got some solid content and fits well into the base game. I playtested it a bit and it plays pretty well. I personally disagree with the designer on Proficiency Bonus scaling, though that's up to the beholder. https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/p0e0s4/rogue_field_medic_become_the_nonmagical_healer/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I picked Edith because she hasn't been on an adventure yet. It's also sad you can't use a cleric of Sune for Baldur's Gate 3. That could have been a lot of fun.

Zosalot

All of them. lol I vote Nymwen because I too am a necromancer in love with dead people. I think she could be interesting. Looks like Na'Krasha is winning, but I love her too!

Pip (Foxes and Ravens)

I feel like Nymwen’s background of being from an academy, with the undead stuff would make for a great one shot/solo adventure! Dark academia, Harry-potter-esque sneaking around the school, fighting off trolls and such

Karl Rasmussen

Elliwyn is a little hard to do in 5e imo... Maybe grim surgeon rogue from griffon's saddlebag? If this was PF2, I'd vote for her in a heartbeat. (Also, a surgeon works much better in a party than solo)

Antonio G.

I was hoping May Bell would get more votes.

Loukas Paquette

Why is there so little votes for Elllwyn? 😭

Tony Ebers

Honestly they'd all have great solo adventures so you can't go wrong any way

Christian Quenan

There is also the savant class from laserllama, with the medic subclass

Richard Riley

I love Na'Krasha, but also think she gets a lot of screen time and am hoping to see some more supporting characters. :)

mjjf

Na'Krasha is my first choice! Then Elliwyn and Nymwen :)

Katherine Ormsbee

That makes sense! Well, regardless of how it turns out, you have my vote for more solo if that's something you want to do more of! I'm very excited to see how these videos turn out!! :D

Michael Peters

I know whatever character you pick, you will create a wonderful event. You are truly an amazing Artist and I just enjoy all of your work.

Luka Murphy

I voted for Morelia because what could be more cosy from the outset than Morelia going on an quest for ingredients!

Twi

I went with Wisteria because it would be funny.

Twi

So hard to choose... Na'krasha? Wisteria? Nymwen?

William Thorndike

I’d love to see Augury do a solo adventure. She always seemed like the kind to not get her hands dirty, so I’d be interested to see how she handles herself without henchmen.

Stephen Miller

I am a big fan of May Bell (she's my phone's lock screen) so I picked her. Would be great to see her in action!

Anthony Docimo

imho, Penelope and Na'krasha are my favorites, but I enjoy watching all of them. you do awesome work.

Khadorek

That's a good point too! Maybe a multiclass

Daniel Negrete

Long time watcher, first time commenter. Just want to say you've helped me become a better dm/player with all your videos. 😊

Foxglove

Way of mercy monk could work as well

Foxglove

Alchemist? I was thinking Healer’s Feat with healers kit for an action 1d6+4+hit dice number, do you think that would work?

Ginny Di

Oh! Yes! You're absolutely right, that thought occurred to me while I was putting together my Artificer video and then immediately disappeared from my mind forever, haha. Good call!

Ginny Di

Only if I wanted nobody to be able to understand a word I'm saying 😂

Ginny Di

Having reviewed the instructions for the adventure, I think this is gonna be a one-player sitch, but I am actually really excited by the idea of playing a whole party of my NPCs off of each other in a more "solo adventurer's toolbox" set-up! I suppose we'll see how this video and the Aisling campaign video do, and if there's continued demand for solo play, maybe I'll get to try it out!

Khadorek

Elliwyn could also be an artificer (that's the doctor, right?)

Bryon Kershaw

I for one am excited to hear a whole adventure with the N'Krasha voice! The real question is, will player Ginny be wearing the tusks?

Katherine Ormsbee

I'm personally for Edith because I love her personality and the concept behind her character, and I'd love to see her get an actual adventure, but I understand people wanting to focus more on Na'Krasha. I'm excited for the solo adventure either way because these are all fun characters, and I enjoy seeing how people approach solo play in general! I started out with the solo adventurer's toolbox because of Ginny Di's recommendation, so I'm very curious to see how this will turn out in practice!

Jonathan & Megan Pierson

So now you got me thinkin' :-) Augury probably has jobs that are important enough to her that she feels the need to go along and supervise the operation, just because she doesn't really trust anyone. She hires Na'Krasha as a body guard/muscle. And, unfortunately, they need Wisteria's knack for picking up spells on the fly. Augury spends much of the adventure glaring icy daggers at the annoying gnome, until finally, in a matter-of-fact tone, she tells her, "I want you to know that when all of this is over, I'm going to have Na'Krasha kill you." Wisteria looks at Na'Krasha with wide eyes: "You wouldn't *really* kill me. Would you, Na'Krasha?" Na'Krasha shrugs. "A job is a job. And she's right: you are very annoying."

NathalieBoelens

Voted Nymwen, because her secrets and schemes intrigue me!

Nathanial

I totally put Penelope, but since she wasn’t a top contender, I put Nakrasha, because I am more familiar with her than Wisteria, but I would be up for seeing either of them.

Clay

I voted for Nymwen. In general, the idea of a knowledge cleric / necromancer multiclass seems like the most self-complete character option on the list.

J. Kevin Carrier

I feel like Na'Krasha would have the most survivability running solo. Although ideally, she would be paired up with some flavor of spellcaster, for those rare occasions when brute force isn't the answer. ;-)

Jonathan & Megan Pierson

Follow your heart, Ginny. Always. Unless your heart tells you to put Josh's underwear on your head and run down the street at 3 AM screaming, "I AM the Lizard Queen!" That could raise questions. Though I suppose it wouldn't raise any more than that time you spent the afternoon lurking in the bushes at the park dressed as a giant rabbit. Yeah, you know what, you're good: follow your heart wherever it leads.

Graves

it really depends on what the adventure is. My fav or your characters is Nymwen but i voted Wisteria as if things are lighter, her...mistakes could lead to a humorous chaosgasm

Scott Maitland

Hard to choose just one!

Steven Lanzarotta

This right here! 👆

Jonathan Blanton

I'd love to see more of Wisteria! Especially with a fierce mama-bear half-orc bodyguard watching over her. I'll bet Na'Krasha could throw Wisteria over her shoulder and carry her to safety. Should the need arise.

Geoff Gilbert

Solid idea.

Geoff Gilbert

And for pure chaos, I just want the generator to throw a ghost in there.

Geoff Gilbert

YES! Love the way voting is looking right now. Na'Krasha is my favorite character and I refuse to evaluate why!

Ginny Di

I think for a single adventure, I can come up with a reason that pretty much anybody would be out in the world! Even homebodies like Augury and Edith, haha. But it's definitely easier to explain a character like Na'Krasha!

Jonathan & Megan Pierson

Augury's an interesting option. It's hard for me to imagine her on an adventure. I always picture her as more of the mastermind type, behind the scenes, pulling the strings, hiring other people to do the dirty, dirty work of adventuring. Ooo. Playing Augury in a city-based criminal intrigue adventure. Looks like Augury's not getting much love in the poll though. Oh well. As in the fantasy world, so in the real world, I suppose. It's fine. Augury neither wants, nor needs, love. Edit: Looks like I spoke too soon. Augury is now neck-and-neck with Nymwen, and they're closing on Wisteria. Sooo hoping we get to see you roleplaying Augury and Wisteria off of each other :-D.

Chris W

Morelia because druids don't get enough love, but Na'Krasha will crush it because apparently women who can crush you are in this season ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

George J.Lekkas

Cleric /Wizard gives you survival choices/options.

Bryan (MightyAxeMan)

Augury! Need more of her in my life.

Jeffrey Williams

Rouge's have more fun and more sneaky then anyone else

Steven Lanzarotta

Regardless, I think whoever doesn’t get the majority vote could at least get cameos. 🤔

Max Brannan

Good to know and thank you. I'll probably purchase the Obvious Mimic publications and get a sense of thier vibe.

Aaron Martin

That's valid. Still include a rogue tho. :-)

Ginny Di

I'm gonna be real with you, I LOVE spellcasters and it sounds less fun to me to have no magic in the group!!

Ginny Di

This video will feature a publisher called Obvious Mimic who has two solo adventures out and a third on the way in August! There are also tons of games that are specifically designed to be solo play RPGs if you aren't married to playing D&D — there's a fantastic video from Dicebreaker recommending 15 of their favs!

Chris Codina

I see Na'Krasha, I vote Na'Krasha.

Aaron Martin

Rogue. I want to see what happens when you solo with no magic.

Max Brannan

There are no wrong answers but Na'Krasha has big "you'll never believe what happened to me today" energy. Also, I've been solo-curious so I'll be revisiting the video on the topic. Anyone have any new suggestions to add since that video came out?
