What is missing from the lore, those mushrooms that grow into Redcaps, they grow from discarded gnome hats. We've shamed gnomes from wearing their traditional hats, and from all the gnome hats discarded in woods and dales, in small hovels hidden in hummocks, and deep in the underdark grow...

Say it again!

Haven't heard of Don't Rest Your Head, looks interesting. I've put it on my Wishlist in DriveThruRPG.

ELEVATOR PITCH: "An improv-heavy game, with easy to pick up and fun to play rules, where you play a Ghostbusters-type crew of paranormal investigators on a reality TV show. The mechanics support players changing the story. As much of a party game as a TTRPG. Works best when you DON'T take it...

I might have to re-watch Fury Road. I mean, I didn't hate it, but I didn't really strike me as all that great. I've rewatched the original three a few times over the years, but have never felt the urge to re-watch Fury Road. Reading some of the comments in the thread make me want to watch it...

People like you are the origin story for redcaps.
