Default An unusual variety of game fic

There's actually a whole genre of "you get caught by a weirdly friendly drider" vocal performances It's an outgrowth of the monster girl thing that has gotten really wholesome. Really it's kind of like the plethora of good dark elves that Drizzt started.

Not going to listen to this at work, but it could be an interesting subversion in a game, where one or more characters find themselves "falling prey" to a monster who... just wants someone to talk to. The concept reminds me a bit of a sequence from the Marble Gate Dungeon webcomic, starting here (and lasting for a few pages) and with the punchline at the end of the chapter, here.

That's my usual take on Medusa. She's just lonely to the point of desperation and bitterness.

Also, he who fights monsters should see to it that he himself does not create a monster.

She actually did a Medusa one with a very different tone. The drider one was comedy despite the character's suffering while the Medusa did dig into the desperation and bitterness. Then again she was thousands of years old while Honey Drider had probably only been alone for a year or so.

Less game applicable though. Honey's cyberpunk are really good inspiration for that kind of game, though.
I found one by another artist that I thought would make an interesting nonthreatening encounter.

A gigantic overfed lamia who has a temple built to her because she appears to bless the local crops. She could just be campaign scenery, or someone could be trying to kill her.
