Other-ness encounter ideas

[Whimsical]

I believe that according to fairy tales, accepting anything that was given by a faerie was bad, as it trapped you in the faerieland forever. Anyone heard of this? How about you with the Knowledge(nature) +10?

Find the old module UK1 Beyond the Crystal Cave. And think like a leprechaun!

i thought that only applied if you ate something they gave you.

The classic ways of evoking otherness are:
mist thats swirls round ankles,
disembodied voice singing which echos throughout wood (if they decide to find out where its coming from insert musically inclined dryad)
sadly those rather cliched ideas are the best i can give you,
i tend to make my Fey quite self-centred, manipulative and capricious, rather than playful, so unless you want the PCs to have to pledge their firstborn child or fetch a gold dragon egg or something i cant be a lot of help.

just out of curiousity is there a reason your fey cant cross water?

Look in the Articles section for Raven Crowking's article on faeries. he gives great advice that's both practical and mood-inducing.

In the comments section there's a link to another thread with a marvelous sequence about heads in a well, with riddles and responses to the PCs various actions. I really enjoyed reading it.

Like the creamed corn scene in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me!

Oh man, It's been done before? I've never seen Fire Walk With Me. David Lynch messed me up with Dune, and then nearly destroyed my sanity with Eraserhead.

I still have nightmarish flashbacks, sometimes, in the dead of night when Im all alone.

Then please, for the love of all that's holy, don't see Lost Highway. Or Mulholland Drive, for that matter.

Thanks,

That bad, eh?

I dont find Eraserhead BAD. Just... disturbing.

 

[Kunimatyu]

And Mulholland Drive has at least a pair of reasons to see it anyways, if you ask me.

I'm having no difficulties guessing which scene you mean.
