some dnd backstory ideas that give your character a reason to leave home that isn’t “everyone in my family died.” (just to say: i have nothing against those backstories (i use them a lot), but its fun to mix it up!)
family/friends/personal
- someone close to you is sick. you need to adventure to find a cure
- someone stole something important from you and you need to find it
- you’ve received a message from a long lost relative and are trying to find them
- someone that you love has been kidnapped (maybe you have to earn money to pay a ransom or complete some deed…)
- adventuring runs in the family! everyone is expected to complete one quest in their lives
- your family/culture sends people out to complete certain tasks when they reach a certain age as a rite of passage
- another player’s character saved you in the past so you feel indebted to them and travel with them, protecting/aiding them
- there’s a magical drought in your hometown and you have to fix it
- your hometown doesn’t have a lot of jobs so you have to travel and send money back home
- some childhood friends and you made a “scavenger hunt” where you try and complete a checklist of certain tasks (ie. defeat a barbarian in hand to hand combat, steal x amount of gold, slay a dragon, etc) in an allotted amount of time
quests/jobs
- a god/patron has sent you on a quest to do something for them
- you’ve been hired by someone to complete a task (and you get sucked into the big adventure along the way)
- you’re on a quest for knowledge. maybe it’s to learn the best ways of fighting, maybe it’s something more academic related
- your priest received a vision from your god and they sent you on a quest
- you’re writing a book about the world and different cultures and you need first hand experience
- you’ve found every map you’ve come across is shitty, so you decide to become a cartographer and make your own
- you’re a detective who helps solve crimes and need to travel to solve a particular case
- you’re a collector of a certain object and travel across the land to find it
- you’re apart of an adventuring academy and have to complete a quest to graduate
- you’re an artisan and you travel with your wares, trying to sell them. alternatively, you’re trying to spread word of your business and gain new business partners
- you worked at a tavern your whole life where an old bard would sing songs of their adventuring party and that inspired you to go and do some adventuring of your own
feel free to add some of your own!
Honestly I get so bored of “MY PARENTS ARE DEAAAAD” backstories. Not to say it can’t be done well, but it makes it a lot easier to give a character some… character… if they have family and friends to bounce off of.

In Super Mario Odyssey, the Cascade Kingdom can be seen in the skybox of the Cap Kingdom. Zooming in on the Cascade Kingdom texture using the game’s camera function, we can see a small graphical error where a rectangle above one of the bushes is mistakely colored in with a gradient. Note that this is not a cliff, as the texture is made from Cascade Kingdom assets and no such cliff is present in that world’s skybox.
However, this finding is really minor and is not the real reason I wanted to show you this. Please read the attribution line on the bottom of the image. I have taken this screenshot myself, on original hardware.
Thanks to the incredible support I have received after starting the Supper Mario Broth Patreon, I was able to purchase a used Nintendo Switch from a reader who offered me to pay for it in installments. I now, for the first time in many years, own a Nintendo video game console; and for the first time in the history of the blog, I can write “screenshot taken on original hardware” in the attribution.
I cannot express how much this means to me, and how grateful I am to all of you - every single reader who has been with me along the way - to be able to play Super Mario Odyssey, a game I have dreamed about playing since it was announced, but was never able to. I will do my best to find as many unknown details about the game as possible, and post them on my blog - I am certain there are thousands of findings to discover.
Thank you so much, everyone. I could not have made it this far without each and every single one of you. I hope you will enjoy the upcoming Super Mario Odyssey content as much as I will enjoy discovering it for you.
Supper Mario Broth remains some of the most wholesome content on the internet

-A.T. Sketch Dump PART 2-
Annnnd here are some drawings I did while working on the finale.
I tried to put a lot of answers in the finale’s intro and I wanted to include a new fire elemental and slime elemental to give closure on Flame Princess and Slime Princess (The other elementals are accounted for in the intro.)
Also seen here is a new Lumpy Space Princess, and possum named Clover that I came up with for a pitch that eventually turned into “The Moe You Know / The More You Moe”, the original drawings of BMO as the King of Ooo, the finale-era Ice Thing and Turtle Princess that I drew on a plane, and some Shermy and Beth notes (I changed Shermy’s sword design so it could fold up and fit in his little bag)

- american truck simulator: justin backseat drives. griffin has far, far too much power. high mortality rate.
- catlateral damage: genuinely a hostage situation.
- home improvisation: griffin tries his hand at furniture building, ends up with a future career in modern art.
- probably archery: definitely archery. a war between brothers.
- i expect you to die: griffin sets a lot of things on fire. justin is very tired.
- spooky’s house of jump scares: griffin is very, very brave.

- five nights at freddy’s 2: griffin refuses to read the rules, justin tries not to sound scared. disaster.
- 1001 spikes/titan souls: justin is a monster [literally].
- plants vs. zombies: griffin spends most of his time pretending not to like the game as much as he does. justin simply doesn’t understand.
- neverending nightmares: actually a really poignant review of a very beautiful and very strange game. [tw: mental illness]
- girls club: justin tries to cheat his way into a perfect date. griffin is deeply offended by the whole concept.
- car mechanic simulator: griffin tries to crush himself underneath a car. justin pretends to know a lot more about cars than he actually does.
- goatz: griffin becomes a goat, immediately loses all semblance of a moral code.
- octodad: griffin flops around with mixed results. a dangerous bet is placed.
- tabletop simulator: griffin creates a board game with indiscernible rules. also, steve buscemi is there.

bold of op to assume that Griffin EVER had any semblance of a moral code

severus-snape-is-a-butt-trumpet:
i took too many sleep meds and broke my “no social media arguments” rule and went off on some white lady on facebook last night, and i thought of an interesting analogy.
so imagine you’re a farmer; like born and raised, you’ve been getting up at dawn to check the chicken coops and milk the cows since they day you learned to walk.
now imagine someone there’s someone who has lived in the city all their life. straight nyc, has never stepped foot in rural land ever before, and they come up to you, and they say, “i know what it’s like to be a farmer.”
of course your immediate reaction is, “um, i think the hell not?” right?
but the city slicker refuses to let up. they insist, “no, i know exactly what it’s like to be a farmer, and you telling me that i don’t is prejudice against me.”
so you say, “how can you possibly know what it’s like to be a farmer? have you ever done morning farm chores? have you lived somewhere that’s completely cut off from other people? have you ever even planted a plant?”
and they say, “no, but i’ve seen movies and i’ve heard of farms, so i know what it’s like to be a farmer,” and if you try to explain that, no, you don’t know what it’s like to be a farmer, that knowing about farms and living on a farm are completely different things, they just get angry at you, and refuse to believe that they couldn’t possibly know what it’s like to be a farmer.
but then there’s another person, another city person, who comes, and maybe they’re from a slightly smaller city, and they’ve actually visited a farm or two, and they tell the city slicker, “no, there are differences between cities and farms and i will explain them to you, since there’s no one else to do it.”
so of course you’re like, “you know, i–i can actually tell them what it’s like to grow up on a farm, since i actually live on a farm, and you’ve only visited a farm, so…”
but the one who’s visited a farm talks over you, and tells the city slicker some things about what it’s like to live on a farm, and sure some of it is right, but it’s not completely right, because they still don’t actually, you know, live on a farm.
but now the city slicker is like, “oh, yes, now i understand completely, and i now i really know what it’s like to live on a farm. in fact, i’m going to be an advocate for farmers, since farmers can’t speak for themselves.” and then the city slicker goes on and tells other city slickers this third party information about what it’s like to live on a farm, meanwhile you’re still trying to insist that, no, you’re still missing some key aspects of what it’s like to live on a farm!! but no one is listening.
and while this is going on, there are some people around you who are saying, “actually, i don’t see terms like ‘rural’ and ‘urban.’ i think we’re beyond that. isn’t it actually worse for society for us to categorize like that? why can’t we just see that cities and farms are exactly the same?”
and you’re like, no!! that doesn’t make sense!! because they aren’t exactly the same!! the experiences of a farmer vs the experiences of a city person have fundamental differences, and it’s not wrong to recognize them, it’s just true!!
and then of course there are the ones who are just like, “i think we should just burn all farms to the ground, fuck farmers.”
and at that point, you just develop a drinking problem, because they’re just never going to get it.
that’s what it’s like to be a person of color. y’all are city slickers refusing to believe that you may not actually know what it’s like to live on a farm.
but here’s a secret:
it’s okay not to know things.
the problems arise when you refuse to admit that you don’t.
open your city slicker mind.
visit a farm.
listen to a farmer.
and most of all, realize that farmers are always going to know more about farms than you,
and it’s okay.
that is all.
