Hmm Yes Evil Librarian

hmm yes evil librarian

Monster Manual entries often (especially in earlier editions) have throw away lines like "Betentacled Faceslurpers are often hired by evil historians for their ability to recall the memories of every pereon whose face they've slurped", or "Literary Horrors often make their nests among well stocked bookshelves and for this reason evil librarians will employ them as security" and then never elaborate on what these evil versions of regular professions are like.

Fix this by running a game where the entire party is comprised of evil versions of mundane jobs. If they won't tell you what an evil cartographer or archivist even does you'll find out yourself.

Urban Fantasy concept: Minotaur as an emergent phenomenon. Any sufficiently labyrinthine structure, left unattended for long enough, has a chance of generating a minotaur, if the area is properly “primed” by any kind of mass “sacrificial” death; from there the minotaur self-perpetuates by murdering Urbex practitioners, health inspectors, and dumb teens looking for a hangout. 

Premodern Minotaurs were generated at human sacrifice sites and perpetuated themselves due to, you know, already existing at human sacrifice central. Contemporary Minotaurs are generated at the sites of major industrial accidents resulting from negligence, such as the triangle shirtwaist fire, mine collapses, and the Chernobyl meltdown.

Labyrinth Crossing I Saw This Photo In A World Building Prompt Post And I Had To Draw It, Adding Some

Labyrinth Crossing I saw this photo in a world building prompt post and I had to draw it, adding some elements from my Monster of the Week game. My players went through a labyrinth type dungeon recently so I felt it fitting to put them here :)

@imcreativeiswear i did this to a dnd group, and it was really fun

My absolute favorite part about Control is Jesse’s nightmare at the end. It’s so fascinating, standing around and listening to what everyone has to say. Emily, giggling over the phone about boys. Underhill, scared to death that Marshall - now a secretary - has taken ill and can’t bring the Director his mail. Arish and Langston are crammed into the Exec security booth, blabbering on about how great Trench is (then how terrible, in the second iteration). 

And the imagery: in the second iteration, some of the Hiss-possessed employees will shift randomly into different forms if you stand around and watch long enough. It’s terrifying and grotesque. The mug on the table will shift into a skull, then into a book, then disappear. 

But most interesting to me is a small line of dialogue in the second iteration: Emily says something along the lines of, “oh, that’s the new girl. Rumor has it she was promoted from somewhere in Maintenance. She has no idea what she’s doing and has to have everything explained to her.”

the way that taz balance, in the stolen century and in the finale, used bonds as like, a mechanical thing? absolutely choice.

like it's just a box on the character sheet in dnd 5e that most people probably don't really fill out. to take something that's abstract like that, just a flavor element, and make it have like... tangible gameplay utility and repercussions?

i can't put a finger on why but it resonates with me just so much.

i always thought that scene in the taz balance finale where merle reconnects with pan and casts zone of truth to burn away the hunger was kind of a tongue in cheek moment where clint casts his signature spell and griffin as the dm humors him by given it a huge affect. like fun but not too noteworthy. but i literally just realized what a phenomenal moment it really was. because the hunger is nihilism. it's hopelessness and pessimism. but the zone of truth dispels all lies and dishonesty. they cant exist under its spell. and that's what nihilism is. a lie. and so when merle cast zone of truth he burned away the lie of hopelessness and if you don't think that's the best thing ever i don't know what to tell you.
