@ProjectShadow NGL, the image of the party rounding a corner and the fighter in full plate leaping, Laurel and Hardy-style, into the mage's arms? Pretty good. Arneson and Gygax may not have been perfect human beings, but they had a sense of humor.

@ProjectShadow They are awful, giant clicketty cockroach-shrimps that eat ferritic metal via an extraordinary ability to cause rust. 1st Edition was the worst- the damn things' BLOOD would rust your weapons. So just attacking them could destroy your Sun Blade or Wakizashi of the Crescent Moon that you went on a specific, sessions-long quest to get. No thanks, and no wonder they were later nerfed.

This is the best thing ever. https://youtube.com/shorts/QU16lKioakw?si=DNMxGPFvjujefomu

@Minholkin "Why... But when... How... To a lesser extent, *who* but also just WHY...?"

@Minholkin It's nonsense, feel free to disregard. Just supposed to make you scratch your head.

Hope it didn't catch you at a bad time. 💙

Crazy #TTRPG weapon ability:

It's a super awesome weapon but will absolutely never kill a living creature. All such creatures dropped by the weapon are instead rendered unconscious at 1 HP.

@ProjectShadow Should have given it a nonlethal attack.

@Minholkin #ThatsWhatSheSaid

@ProjectShadow Did you notice how I sneakily gave it protection from Rust Monsters?

Pesky little buggers.

@vo1de Void Arrow: This flat-headed but otherwise unassuming gray arrow will, on striking a creature, surround it in an impenetrable sphere of magical force energy. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until dispelled.

@ProjectShadow Shadowboon- +2 Longsword, deals an extra d6 of psychic damage, cloaks its weilder in shadows (advantage on Stealth checks in dimly lit areas) and grants the Shadow Step monk ability 3x/day.

The blade will never rust or corrode in any way but has a peculiar quality: once drawn from its scabbard, it must be bloodied (deal at least 1 point of damage to a living creature capable of bleeding) before returning to its sheath, or ALL attack rolls with it suffer disadvantage.

@J_dubs Even more so. 😁

@ProjectShadow Hmm. Well you already have an entire type of undead and a plane of existence (the Shadowfell) named after you just by sheer coincidence. However... I think I can work it in. You may end up being a powerful magic item.

@corlin I will do you one better.

In the kingdom of Forth, the capital city is a shining example of what can be accomplished when all of the good folks of Ereth set aside their differences and work toward the common good.

Though the king is widely praised by the people, few know that in truth it is the court jester who is the real power behind the throne...

I should start immortalizing cool people in my #TTRPG world.

Let me know if you want a town, character, spell, monster, etc named after YOU!

The virtues of dehydrated watermelon.

Decent album name?

Black kittens have a built-in set of ninja pajamas and I am just in awe of how awesome that beginning to life must be. #ReincarnationGoals

@CriticalCupcake Getting soaked in hydrofluoric acid, chucked on a decommissioned carnival ride and yeeted, sans ceremony, into the nearest star?

Yes, I am.
