    subverting the "captured damsel" trope

    So my group is going through Against the Cult of the Reptile God and will (likely) soon embark on an investigation of the corrupted temple full of evil cultists. Near the end of the area is a fairly critical NPC woman imprisioned and abused by the head (male) cleric. It's rightfully creepy and...

    urban festival session - advice?

    heya dm-type folks, I'm in the early stages of an urban-based campaign (pcs are now mid-level 2), but the party have been largely adventuring in very dungeon-like settings so far.

    help me name my disaster

    I'm running a homebrew campaign, that has several world-level cataclysms in it's history... the most recent of which happened some four hundred years ago... Time is currently measured in years since the last upheaval, which consisted of quakes, overnight birth of mountain ranges, draining of...
