imagine ancient egyptian d&d tho

“You have crossed into the underworld and have encountered Anubis. You give him your heart to weigh.”

“I roll to Bluff.”

“You want to bluff Anubis? You can’t bluff Anubis, he’s a god, he has a godly Sense Motive check.”

“I want to bluff the scales.”

“…you want. To bluff. The scales.”

“Yup.”

“…you know what? I’ll allow it.”

“HA! Nat 20!”

“The scales, for some fucking reason, think your heart is lighter than the feather. Anubis is pretty sure you’re bullshitting him but you know what? Anubis has had a long day. Anubis is not gonna question the scales. You’re in.”

@chaospaca-stuff tried drawing a similar animal but couldnt because she couldn’t not draw a penis. 

So here is a non-phallic Set. 

If you like my stuff you should totes commish me or donate. 

And yes, the bracelet says “World’s best dad”

A relief with an image of Akhenaten and what is originally believed to have been Kiya, one of his minor wives.

The inscription, which referred to Kiya and her unknown daughter,  was later changed to bear the name of his third daughter, Ankhesenpaaten. She is better known as Ankhesenamun, the wife of Tutankhamun, but the part of the inscription that refers to her has been lost. Preserved is the part that refers to “Ankhesenpaaten Tasherit, born of the King’s Daughter Ankhesenpaaten.”

Archaeologists are unsure if this was a fictional child intended to replace Kiya’s missing daughter, or if she actually existed. She is referred to in multiple scenes from the end of Akhenaten’s reign and, if she did exist, is commonly thought to have been fathered by Akhenaten.

Doodled another much tinier Set. One fun thing about Set is that nobody is really quite sure what the fuck animal he’s supposed to be. People have guessed anything from a giraffe to an okapi to an extinct type of wild dog or even wild pig or aardvark but the reigning conclusion is that the “Set animal” (or “sha”) is a fanciful amalgam of several different creatures.

Despite Set’s reputation for being an exceedingly violent and dangerous individual, it also seems that he’s a vegetarian, and consumes mostly (only?) Lettuce. Here we have the chaotic figure in a rare moment of peace, eating shoots in a lettuce garden. This tiny little drawing is for sale but I’m too lazy to post it to Etsy at the moment so if you like it and have a spare twenty it’s yours.
