I wrote up a Ravenloft domain for Peter Pan that I liked a lot but never got a chance to run. (Tink was the Darklord.)

What if the Genie patron is a placeholder name for another concept - Pokémon trainer? - and not actually supposed to have anything to do with the sha'ir?

I use bloodied as an indicator-to-players myself. I do think that the concept works well in 5e if they wanted to, though. I remember some stuff the Angry GM said that suggest to me that having the nature of the combat change halfway through the battle is good at making more interesting combats.

I remember reading that the Xill were originally based on a book that later became the inspiration for Alien. I would love to see a terrifying version of the monster in print.

Unimaginative. Just off the top of my head - a living lightning bolt should be a spark of lightning that arcs 100 each round, inflicting damage on anyone between its start and endpoints.

Inspired by another thread: What are your favorite magic items (published or home-brewed) for giving non-casters more options outside of the combat pillar? Items that let the fighter say "Instead of just charging in, what if I used my XXXX and solve the problem that way?"

So our group is starting a new campaign, and for the first time in ages I'm not the DM. Yay! The campaign premise was that we were basically adventurer-athletes, competing in dungeons for contracts, exposure, and the glory of the Emperor. We just completed our second dungeon and made 3rd...
