D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

The main of times the heroes, monster-hunters or investigators don't face the "big bosses" but their minions and cultists. Mr. Squid may be a "bad influence" but my opinion is Nyarlathotep is potentially more dangerous because it is more active instead only sleeping a nap.

If Yig "the father of the serpents" becomes canon in 5e, then it is not only more yuan-ti cults but the return of the wereserpents (3.5 Serpent Kingdoms) or ophidians but also the cobra-dragons. (#146 Dragon magazine) who would want to play with a cobra-dragonborn? I could bet Destro and Baroness would love it)

* Now I remember "Call of Chulthu" is more popular in Japan than "D&D". I guess with fast-creation survivor classes WotC could try to earn more market share in Japan.

* If the players wanted, the videogame "Cult of the Lamb" could become a dark domain. The fun part would be the PCs were allowed to lead it.

* What if Junji-Iro (horror mangaka) was hired to create a dark domain?

* Oficially there aren't true divine powers in the demiplane of the dread, and I can't imagine a dark domain to can jail an outer or great god. Clerics can cast divine magic and reload the next day but all communication with their deitis is impossible within the Demiplane of Dread.

Oh, absolutely. Cthulhu itself is very low on the totem pole, almost hilariously so for all its publicity. Literally a mini-boss, not even a Darth Vader to the Emperor.
