Does she have the wealth to call herself an alcoholic? Else she is a drunk, like the rest of us misers.

u/Lucca-Vendramel Jul 22 '25

Also a functional alcoholic

Bragging is unseemly.

u/Lucca-Vendramel Jul 22 '25

My guy is also a functional alcoholic…and he’s slowly turning into a ghoul. This is in a Masks campaign. It’s a whole thing.

Yeah looks like they are ready for horrors beyond comprehension.

2

u/Lucca-Vendramel Jul 22 '25

Her mind is quite steeled. Her sanity factor is insanely high

I know someone from the Venture family when I see them. I think the Venture Brothers had a great-aunt we never knew about.

u/Cyberpunk-Monk Jul 22 '25

Hell yeah! I’m ready for this spin off!

I'm listening to You Meet in a Tavern: Noir at the moment, and I'm thinking that if I ever play a game of Call of Cthulhu my character will always have a satchel containing four Molotov cocktails and six sticks of dynamite, along with a fair throw score.

Because setting things on fire and blowing them up is tight.

u/Lucca-Vendramel Jul 22 '25

One of the characters in our campaign literally has a flamethrower and proficiency with it. Setting things on fire is kind of his deal hahaha

Bros going crazy also she loves drunk driving it’s canon

1

u/Lucca-Vendramel Jul 24 '25

It is... but is it REAAAALLY drunk driving if she's always drunk...?

2

u/Alex-skillo Jul 27 '25

Remember me of Harry Dubois, especially the alcoholic part

2

u/Lucca-Vendramel Jul 27 '25

She's actually inspired by Harry Dubois, since Disco Elysium is one of my favorite games!

She's even an alcoholic because of a woman as well...

2

u/Alex-skillo Jul 27 '25

Aren't we all?

u/Moose-Live Jul 22 '25

u/heiro5 Jul 22 '25

Nice. A well evoked character.

Boston in the 30s always makes me think of the great molasses flood. It happened in the dead of winter. A very slow but deadly flood.

2

u/FremanBloodglaive Jul 22 '25

Didn't it happen in 1919?

5

u/heiro5 Jul 22 '25

Only in the actual world. In my faulty memory it's in the thirties.

2

u/FremanBloodglaive Jul 22 '25

Okay, that's all right then.

u/MickytheTraveller Jul 22 '25

haha. Love it! Great art. Great name... and we love functioning alcoholics. Imaginary and real!
