I cosplayed Tasha from Dungeons & Dragons' "Tasha's Cauldron of Everything"

[@DaBezzzz]

Title: "I cosplayed Tasha!" Me: oh cool, like from Tasha's Hideous Laughter Ginny: "Wizards of the Coast hired me to cosplay Tasha!" Me: wait whAT

Right?? I was thinking maybe WotC should go in the title of the video somewhere 🤔 but I dunno! 😃

Meanwhile, the part I'm most impressed with is not Ginny's skill with a sewing machine (which IS impressive, don't get me wrong), but the unconditional support from her family. She is truly blessed to have parents who don't consider the fantasy genre either satanic or just plain stupid.

[@rgorel7748]

I was thinking the exact same thing. So blessed to have such a support system.

[@clausandersen8187]

i was just about too comment that. this is one of the first videos ive watched from her besides the video she did with mark hulmes. but i have too say its simply amasing too see how much her familiy supports her dream and her talent. and my god she is talented. and a supportive familiy and friends only helps futher that :) simply amasing

[@12368784]

Not just that, but also understanding that their daughter didnt chose a conventional job but made her dream come true from living of being a creator. Instead of hatingit and worrying about the future / a job offering health care supporting her in her creative work. That is even the most amazing part to me

What Brooke said. You put in the work and it's a beautiful cosplay! Wizards of the Coast got the best when they hired you to cosplay, Ginny. Great Job!

[@matthewletexier]

You never think how difficult this stuff must be until you watch a video like this. You gotta have a lot of patience for this. Great work

[@TygerKrash]

Yeah , I found this a really informative video about just how much effort goes into these projects. Big kudos from me.

[@Gingrnut]

What I love about this is that as the highest profile cosplayer who has actually been the first person to recreate Tasha’s look in real life, you will literally be the trendsetter for the physical look of this entire character for the whole game of D&D, which I think is so cool 😮 also Tasha is great and I can’t wait to pick up this book, she is definitely turning up in my home game as this mysterious witch who hires the party to collect ancient artifacts or something 😄

The idea to use a waist cincher to keep all the belts in place is so good! It was awesome to see the process and the final result--you make a great Tasha and honestly I hope that lip look comes into fashion now, it's so fabulous

[@stevengroenewald4681]

Yo "Back to the future" and "Scott Pilgrim vs the world". So on top of being a cosplay queen you also have amazing movie taste. Approved

HOLY SHIT GINNY THIS IS SO COOL!!!! Minor side note but I am IN LOVE with the round cat t shirt.

LOL, as soon as you said you were "originally" going to do the photo shoot outside, I remembered the snow storm last week and thought "oh no, I hope this was before that..." I guess not... Still, the entire process turned out amazing and I loved the look and feel of it all, you really captured the character for me in so many ways and I'm sure Wizards is extremely happy with it (they better be)!!

This is one of your best videos to date.

[@RobertHartleyGM]

Absolutely flabbergasting. I made a passable Sokka costume once but other than that and some hand sewing here and there, I've no experience with this and so even knowing where to begin would just grind me to a halt. Incredible final product, you look amazing.

[@PotterFreak22]

12:48 I KNEW I remembered seeing this pattern somewhere! That’s the one I got today to make the pouches! I am quite intimidated since I am not a good sew-er AT ALL and the one time I tried to make a coat years ago failed miserably. I can hand sew reasonably well but machine sewing & patterns are very hard for me. More so since my grandma passed a few years ago and she was the ultimate crafter! (apart from being a really cool grandma) Sewing, patterns, embroidery, cross stitch, knitting, all the crafts! I miss not being to ask her questions about sewing & patterns, seeing her for the holidays, just having her around cause she was super cool. The pouches are the smallest project I can reasonably start with and if I can get over my nerves going crazy frazzled just thinking about trying to do this, we should be good! My mom says to just go one step at a time cuz if you look at the whole thing at once then you will get overwhelmed really quick.

Tasha is also known as Iggwilv the Witch Queen and she debuted in Gary Gygax's "The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" (1982).

She appears in Part 11 of the Savage Tide Adventure Path campaign in Dungeon magazine #149.
