Tric and Heppa get ready to leave on their next mission for Thrandolil.

Mushrooms play a larger role in our campaign than they do in the Battle for Wesnoth video game, where fungus is just a type of terrain. In the real world, in addition to having some wild shapes, mushrooms have some pretty crazy names. For some examples to incorporate into your own games, check out the list linked here.

This arc also sees another set of Battle for Wesnoth units come to life as characters. The attacking creature at the keep was a Ghost. Renwick’s appearance and personality are informed by the video game’s artwork for the Elvish Hero unit. Fenowin is a Druid. Baeowin is an Elvish Rider, and Endathalis is an Elvish Scout.

Glammur helps Tric and Heppa try to make sense of Kachen’s past actions.

In the Battle for Wesnoth video game, whenever a unit moves onto a village, a little flag shows up, marking the village for their side. When you move one of your units onto an opponent’s village, you replace their flag with your own. In the video game, those flags are used to generate income for your army. We’ve adapted the flag concept to fit into our game world, and you can see some of that in the artwork Del Borvic did for us, where several of them are on display in the upper left.

Tric and Heppa learn about the power of stories from the dwarvish bard Glammur.

The Battle for Wesnoth video game is a turn-based strategy game. Gender identity and sexual orientation don’t factor into it. However, tabletop roleplaying is an immersion into a full world. For me, that means a world populated by a diverse cast, just like real life is. Although I don’t necessarily introduce characters by explicitly announcing these things, as the GM, I make that the reality in the game. You may have noticed that Glammur is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. This campaign includes characters who are, among other things, nonbinary, genderfluid, transgender, homosexual, bisexual, and asexual, just like the world we inhabit does. You may not always realize when a character has one of these traits… again, just like in real life.
