This post is not interesting. Do not read this.
When I DMed Curse of Strahd for my friends via Roll20, I made tokens for the PCs and many NPCs by editing Fire Emblem sprites—from the GBA era, the golden age of Fire Emblem graphics.
After Curse of Strahd ended, I ran a few one-shot “appendix” adventures to tie up loose plot threads. Because these adventures involved Curse of Strahd characters, I reused their sprites, but then I had to make new Fire Emblem edits for any new characters that showed up.
This was a lot of fun and I think I got kind of good at it! (That being said, a few of my “edits” involved messing around with hue/saturation and nothing else.) But now my Curse of Strahd campaign is over, and I think when I get around to DMing something else, I will take a different approach to Roll20 tokens. Thus, what follows is probably an exhaustive inventory of my Fire Emblem edits.
The Original PCs: The Fallcrest Police Department’s Undead Control Task Force
Alan Smith, halfling ranger, -1 to Nature checks
Flint Dourhand, dwarf rogue, kind of a Grant Danasty type
Lara Duane, human warlock, low-key evil but still basically evil
Sonia Kholm, tiefling paladin of the Raven Queen, had her work cut out for her
Other PCs: These NPCs Ended Up Joining The Party For Various Reasons
Ezmerelda d’Avenir, human monster hunter, overpowered
Ireena Kolyana, human barbarian, plenty of reasons to be angry
Ismark Kolyanovich, human fighter, obsessed with saving his sister
Kasimir Velikov, dusk elf wizard, ditto on the sister thing
Muriel Vinshaw, human wereraven druid, extremely overpowered, did not stick around long
Regular NPCs: Several Of These Guys Ended Up Dying
The Abbot, a crazy person, true nature not revealed until post-campaign
Vasilka, sexy flesh golem, the Abbot’s pet project and eventual replacement
Baba Lysaga, infamous witch, brought low by Muriel Vinshaw and certain people not reading the rules text of certain spells carefully enough
An evil Yester Hill druid, did not get a name
Neferon, a mysterious wizard with pink sunglasses
Reddick, duergar cleric of [redacted], a Fallcrest Police Department employee who was in Barovia for some reason
Doomed Heroes: These PCs were in a one-shot of Castle Ravenloft that I ran as a dry run/death trap
Bollaka, kobold monk, one of my better sprite edits
Morgan Ghoulscourge, human cleric, not big into undead
Rathbone, tiefling fighter, thought Strahd might be his pappy
Thelloth, human paladin, that’s supposed to be a morningstar I think
Zechariah Grey, human sorcerer, positive attitude, ended up as dead as everyone else in the party
Denizens of Castle Ravenloft
Rahadin, dusk elf murderer, Strahd’s gofer
Patrina Velikovna, dusk elf wizard, interred in Ravenloft catacombs, brought back to life by her brother
Strahd’s Animated Armor, this isn’t even a sprite edit
Any of several Barovian witches, this might not be edited either
Helga Ruvak, turned out to be a vampire spawn
Bollaka, vampire spawn
Morgan, vampire spawn, also had his tongue cut out
Zechariah, vampire spawn, robe is filthy
Thelloth, vampire spawn
Wrathbone, tiefling skeleton, turns out Strahd was not his pappy
