Bards using the left over divine words that were used to speak creation into existence…. Bards are ur-priests.

Some (not all, that would make the book to big) monsters with extra customization options, like the Unspeakable Horror in VRGtR. Two examples in particular I’d like to see: Gulthias Tree. I find it strange how the Blights section on the 2014 MM builds up Gulthias Trees as something that can be...

I picked a pretty eclectic mix, but putting it all together implies this would be my favorite sort of adventure: Solving a mystery surrounding an event that caused or involves the sudden appearance of monsters. It will involve a lot of traveling (with hexes or otherwise), talking to NPCs and...

Lloth is coming for Zuggtmoy for title of most weirdly cute demon lord.

Was a tough decision between the fighter and wizard, but I ultimately went with wizard. With fighters there’s a wide variety of concepts you can fit into them, which is good, but there’s not a lot to distinguish those concepts from each other. But the problem with wizards goes even deeper...

The thing with x10 rural rule is that, while close enough to reality, it also means I now have a metric heck-ton of villages that I certainly can’t flesh out or even name. This isn’t exactly a problem, but I still feel weird leaving it all in Offscreelandia.

There’s no Inner Planes, elementals are nature spirits on the Prime. Demon just means an evil spirit from the Void (super-hell, basically), devils are a type of demon but they still don’t like being called that. One factor in how powerful a demon is comes from how much the evil that spawned it...

Non-spellcasting divinely gifted class. More subclasses like the zealot barbarian can work too.

One of the conceits of my setting is, because of the ascendancy of a new generation of demonic powers who are ushering in an age of hell on earth, the line between “adventurers” and everyone else is becoming increasingly blurry. Adventurers could very well just be people trying to survive the...

My players are about to see some, though it will be in a dreamscape rather than in the physical world. And these gods will just be watching….

I’ve been thinking about something similar to this, like for instance “coererocks” would be the ones casting spells as we normally think of it while “bizuid” magic is instead about alchemy and enchanting.

STR: Knight (focus on techniques, weapons, and armor. Can also stab the ground for earthquakes at high levels.) DEX: Scavenger (not married to the name, but I wanted to evoke “will make use of anything they can get a hold of to survive.”) CON: Mutant (has the transformation based barbarian...

Right, the paladin’s power comes from their oath, because words have power.

I’m not BookTenTiger if that’s what you’re asking, you’ll actually see me liking several posts. That was a great thread though.

A country with a major influence on the backstory was ruled by a sapient construct designed to be the ultimate king. That didn’t entire pan out, but he was trying his best and made it work for a decent number of centuries. I haven’t come up with what happened to him yet.

Once you go porc, you’ll want no other orc.

I mean, imagine if everyone you knew and loved weren’t actually real, that be plenty of a horror concept.

I prefer Darklords to be the ultimate example of what wrong with the Domain rather than the sole cause of it, so I’m in favor of monsters and villains that aren’t connected to them but reflect the Darklord in some ways (as well as heroes and bystanders that sometimes resemble them a little too...

Probably not a whole campaign, but one could make an awesome quest pitting players against this lake:

I’ve basically kludged together different sources to make a new demonology for my world.
