wyrms, lindworms, drakes and dragons are all different stages of the same species, they just grow one pair of limbs at a time as they mature, like a tadpole

­Millipedes are the extreme end of the power and development stage

Weird dice Wednesday featuring all the weird dice I found in my dice pouch months ago and then forgot to submit!

The ones with stickers on are home education tools lol, I assume the fruit ones are from a drinking game?

What is this?? Anyone know?

It's a d10 with 0-4 twice

[probablybadrpgideas]

is it weird dice wednesday? someone donated these to the donation center where I work. they appear to be made of some kind of powdery clay. I thought they were dried out marshmallows at first. I'm not sure why anyone would get rid of their homemade dice, I find them quite charming.

it's always weird dice wednesday somewhere

An angel, but it's actually a giant bird parasitizing inside someone's ribcage

They're the heart and the lungs now, killing it will also kill the host

­Terrifying glimpse of how you're rewarded in heaven.

A once-barren land where Gods once fought an ageless war, its reasons lost to time. It only ended when all Gods have perished.

With nothing to decompose them, their bodies have petrified; Those who died along with their hearts became mountains, and those whose hearts still beat became volcanoes

I kind of don't want to make a joke for this one, it's just fucking badass

Sometimes I get the urge to go feral and do something uncivilized. Unfit for polite society. If it's harmless I follow it. #gremlincore

So earlier today I was on my hands and knees, drinking from my cat's water fountain, when an idea struck me - a gremlin or otherwise chaotic being's ghost possesses a king or queen and runs away, causing chaos and mayhem on the way.

The party is a bunch of lackluster adventurers hired by the monarch's preteen child, who's determined to lead it, trying to capture them without harm. And mitigating all the pranks and chaos left on their trail.

­Thanks, random goblin!

Campaign where for the length of the NFL season, your players are a fantasy world football team sponsored by the Adventurers' Guild going from place to place and playing against a new team sponsored by some other faction or institution every week, with the competition slowly rising in skill and power up to the final opposition: a single enormous, highly magical, and entirely superb owl.

­I feel if I knew anything about what the NFL was this would make sense to me

magic system based on mathematical proof. if you want to cast a spell, you need to write an entire thesis proving how it follows the laws of the setting

­this is actually just real life

[probablybadrpgideas]

The most common enemies in the setting are knife-wielding crabs. It's never explained where the crabs get all the knives.

mess with the crab, get the stab

agreed, i (paper) do this all the time

(tbh this could go here or on @probablybadrpgideas depending on execution and on how many of the players value continuity)

Instead of working out ALL the lore for a setting, work out the bare minimum and let the players do the rest for you. Any time someone does particularly well on an intelligence-based check to see what they know about a particular thing, tell them like 1 or 2 sentences about the thing and then let them just make up the entire rest of the lore about it

I'd personally say collaborative worldbuilding is a good idea

Awakened dog necromancer on a quest to achieve lichhood to remain with their master, who is also a lich

I'm sorry

Eusocial British colony, complete with workers, soldiers drones and a constantly-reproducing queen.

­Hahaha what an absurd idea about the British!

Hahaha

Anyway come meet me down this alleyway without telling anyone
