Indecision- Exalted adventure or campaign set in Malfeas. One of the Yozis is having difficulty making a decision on an important matter. This takes the form of a war between two or more of this Yozi's third circle demons, which the PCs get caught up in

Once upon a time, there was a product called The Primal Order.

The Primal Order - Wikipedia

The group I was in at the time planned to do a campaign in which each player designed some kind of deity, and each deity would have champions working for them within campaign worlds. We never got that far with it, though.

I have this half formed idea to somehow combine Clarice's childhood trauma seeing the sheep being slaughtered The Silence of the Lambs with the cult of Hastur (who was originally characterized as a god of shepherds when he first appeared in the short story "Haita the Shepherd")

Maybe throw in some Wicker Man (original) for flavor…

Ah yes, the first of several attempts by WotC to break into the RPG industry until they just did the easy thing by buying D&D.

Mind-flayer mummies. Something with mind-flayer mummies. They already canonically prepare their dead by removing the brain (in order to graft it to the elder brain) and it jives well with the egyptian space aliens sci-fi trope (ie Stargate, Khai of Khem, A Pharaoh to Remember, etc.)

Hmmm…

You know those pathogens- parasites, prions, fungi, etc.- that spread by infecting a host and altering their behavior so they get consuned? Some even consume the bodies of their hosts to a certain extent, creating macabre “zombie” creatures.

Imagine a more parasitic cousin of Mind Flayers whose larvae are not tadpoles, but a little more like the parasites that create zombie snails:

As they dominate their hosts bodies directly, they use their Psionic abilities to become powerful leaders, When their host bodies are almost completely consumed, they simulate their deaths and invariably demand a specific form of mumification, The mummy becomes a walking chrysalis of sorts, the creature within transforming into their reproductive stage. Instead of mummy rot, their touch is used to infect targets with larvae…
