knight who is constantly searching for a good and noble king to serve but cannot fucking find one for the life of him so he has to become the good and noble king himself.

and now all these other knights are coming around like "please let me serve you" and like obviously hes going to let them serve him thats the point of being a good and noble king but its also. very annoying. one of you become the good and noble king for once lets trade

Magic users have artificially created their own 'elemental ecosystems' by unintentionally curating the roles of each of the elements, thereby causing them all to develop specific nuances relationships with one another over time.

Introducing one kingdom's water magic to another kingdom's is essentially like introducing an invasive species that is throwing the ecological balance out of wack. It doesn't matter that they're both 'just water', they are incredibly different magic lines that occupy similar yet distinctive different niches with their own relationships and needs.

Fantasy setting with magic neatly organised into elemental spheres, except each magic-using culture disagrees with all the others about what the primordial elements are, what their associations and correspondences are, and even how many of them there are. Spells always interact with other spells from the same magic system as though its elemental theory is complete, consistent, and correct, but when spells from two different magic systems come into contact it all goes a bit sideways, often in ways that require flowcharts to explain. Like, you think Ground Type vs. Rock Type is bad? There are five separate, mutually exclusive spheres of magic all called "Fire". The Sylvan Confederacy's "Water" magic explodes on contact with the Empire of the Five Pillars' "Water" magic and nobody knows why.

actually, you know what, as a fan of transgressive art, tabletop rpgs as an artistic medium, and transgressive tabletop rpgs, I'm gonna say this up front: DrivethruRPG's willingness to host basically anything legal - no matter how graphic, tasteless or bizarre - is a good thing, and should be celebrated.

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Tears of Failure
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster) ___ This golden necklace features a glass vial. A weeping face is molded into the glass. While wearing it, you gain a +1 bonus to any ability check you make that uses your spellcasting ability. Whenever a creature that you can see fails a saving throw against a spell you cast of 1st level or higher, a single tear appears within the vial. The vial can hold up to 5 tears. While wearing it, you can grab the vial and drink the tears inside it using a bonus action. When you do, the next time you fail a saving throw within 10 minutes, you gain a bonus to the roll equal to the number of tears that were within the vial, possibly changing the outcome. Until then, the vial can’t gain any new tears. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! The Pallid Veil
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement by a cleric, warlock, or wizard) ___ This lacy green veil is adorned with an iron crown and delicate golden trim. Originally worn by a celestial harbinger of doom, this veil is often a grim portent of things to come. While wearing this veil, you are immune to necrotic damage. The veil has 20 charges for the following properties. It regains 2d6 + 8 expended charges daily at dawn. 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨. While wearing the veil, you can use an action to expend 5 of its charges to cast one of the following spells, using your spell save DC and spell attack bonus: “circle of death”, “eyebite”, “greater invisibility”, or “inflict wounds” (5th-level version). If you make an attack roll with “inflict wounds” in this way and miss, you don’t expend any charges from the veil. 𝘿𝙤𝙤𝙢. While wearing the veil, you can use an action to roll a d8 and expend that many of the veil’s charges. You then target up to that number of creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the number you rolled is greater than the veil’s number of charges remaining, nothing happens, and the use of this property is wasted. Each affected creature must then make a DC 17 Charisma saving throw. A creature that fails the save is forced to make a death saving throw at the start of each of its turns. The effect ends after a third failed or successful save, but the creature dies after the third failure. For the duration, the creature is unaware of the effect. A creature that has legendary actions or is undead can’t be targeted by this property, and a creature is immune to this effect for one year if… …Continued in the IG comments! ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

I believe this might have been already said by someone at some point, but I feel like what I have to say is tangentially related to this post and so I'm going to say it anyway.

When writing a TTRPG YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A CERTAIN MECHANIC. It's legal. You won't go to jail for that. It's so helpful. Please do it.

I'm running early beta tests of my own ttrpg and all of my testers find it so surprisingly useful. The fact that the little explanation next to your rule has a little "this is to facilitate X amongst the players" or something like that at the end is of great help to the players and of even greater help to the GM, and I can't stress this enough.

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Iron Rose
Weapon (morningstar), rare (requires attunement) ___ The head of this morningstar is in the shape of a rose. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. The weapon has two forms: bloom form (if the weapon is in bright light) or bud form (if the weapon is in dim light or darkness). Iron petals unfurl from the weapon’s spiked head while in bloom form, and enclose it while in bud form. While in bud form, the weapon deals bludgeoning damage, instead of piercing. While holding the weapon, you can use an action to cast one of the following spells from it (spell save DC 15): “entangle” (bud form only), “protection from poison” (any form), or “spike growth” (bloom form only). Once a spell has been cast from the weapon, it can’t be cast from it again until the next dawn. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!
