[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8173780, member: 7023887"] Simple question, will hopefully have some great content for discussing, taking inspiration from, and examining the cruel brains of DMs/GMs. What are the most freaky, or gruesome, or otherwise messed up things you have put in your campaign or world? If it's extremely disturbing/NSFW, put it in a spoiler. Here's an example from my world (I may put more later in the thread): [SPOILER="Clothes and Servants Made of Body Parts and Skin"] My race of corporeal-undead touched humanoids, the Vezyi, have a complex society. They were created by and worship Vecna and his demigod servants, serving as "farms" that produce bodies for Vecna to use in his army of undead and as living servants of his will. Vecna communicates with them through necromancy-focused Arcana Clerics known as the Iremongers, who serve as the leaders of the community. Vezyi are allowed 10 lives in return for their service. When a Vezye dies, their body is returned to the Iremonger and revived, adding a dot to one of their fingers. Once all of their fingers have this mark, they are out of lives, which are called "pardons", they are incapable of being revived again. If they accidentally receive 10 pardons (typically happening if they've lost a hand/fingertips), they receive a circumpunct on the palm of each hand and on their forehead (Called the Eye of Vecna), marking them as a "Vulek". They are then driven out of their community and are never accepted into any other Vezyi settlement, as well as being hunted down by assassin bounty-hunters known as "Palmbearers". If a Vulek is found by a Palmbearer, they'll kill them, cut off their hands, and flay the skin around their forehead's circumpunct. They then bring these back to the Iremonger that created this Vulek, who rewards them by magically erasing a pardon from their fingers. The Iremonger then takes the hands and turns them into [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/crawling-claw']crawling claws[/URL] and will stitch the forehead-skin with any other forehead-skins that they have. If they have enough of this, they will make a cape or sometimes a robe out of the Vulek skin. (A cape will typically also have 2 crawling claws sewed to it to keep it connected to the Iremonger.) [/SPOILER] So, what do you have? I'm excited to hear! [/QUOTE]
