Once upon a time, a witch and a glass-maker made a dragon out of glass and taught it to hate the world. It raged and it would have destroyed everything; only, it shattered, instead.
Maybe it found some reason to love the world.
Maybe their hearts weren’t really in it—not the glass-maker’s, not the witch’s.
Maybe it was just that the dragon was made of glass.

As some of you may know, for the last two or so months I've been planning a short run game of the chuubo's campaign The Glassmaker's Dragon, or GMD. We finally had our first session!

The Cast

  • Victor as Chuubo Nolastname, a very normal wishing girl with a very normal marvelous wish-granting engine who is definitely not a giant snake
  • Jeeyon as Jasper Irinka, the child of the sun who has fallen from the heavens seven years after his mother was slain by her father
  • Izzie as Attaris II, Magister, Queen of the Evil World, et al, the Principal of School by day and the angel of Fortitude during her off hours
  • CJ as Miramie Mesmer, dream-witch and girl made from the shattered shards of an evil woman who sought to destroy the world with a dragon made of glass.

Play Begins

  • We open with Jasper crashing into Chuubo's unruly garden; they meet for the first time and Chuubo is excited for something so fantastical and romantic to finally happen in her life. She offers Jasper the terrestrial delicacy known as "crab cakes", much to his delight, and discovers he cannot return to Celestia in the normal manner. He agrees to stay with Chuubo for the time being.
  • Chuubo dreams of flying with Jasper, until it turns to nightmare and he drifts away, before finally seeing the eyes of the figure who has haunted her in her dreams- the Dream Witch. She awakens in a fright as Jasper asks what's going on. They speak, but are interrupted by the appearance of a white rabbit1 in the garden who promptly takes possession of Chuubo's home and remaining crab cakes. All remains well until a tribulation and curse is placed upon Chuubo, who is insistent that she's a normal girl, forcing her to flee as she realizes she's transforming into a giant snake. Jasper follows with the rabbit and learns of Chuubo's secret; despite her fears, he is delighted to learn this. Chuubo eventually reverts back to a human girl, but a snake tail remains, and they go back to bed after making a makeshift enclosure for the rabbit.2
  • Miramie and a friend, Sakura, struggled to move an espresso machine from Fortitude to their dilapidated mansion/art gallery/cafe. While stopping to rest, Attaris II came to help, cutting down a lamppost and transforming it into a lamppost/dolly/forklift using her miraculous powers and knowledge of counterfactual past Los Angelei. Sakura was rather unnerved by the whole thing, and Miramie was deeply suspicious. They brought Attaris back to the cafe, and served her black tea as she started repairing random items around the house to keep busy.

  2. Miramie was incidentally present for most to all of these events, hiding behind some fencing when she wasn't projecting herself into Chuubo's dreams
