[im-a-meme-or-so-i-hope]

So, I attended a club for creative writing. Today we had a presentation where we all played a bit of a game that I just want to share with you all cause it was really fun. Its a game where you and a bunch of friends make a setting. Essentially, you all sit together in a room and start off with two random word generators. One adjective and one noun, and that is the name of the world. Then you'll think of what kind of landscape and scenery that would fit in your named world. Ours was Hellish Midnight so we chose that of a world with lots of sulfuric fires, volcanoes, and a dark barely see through smoky air across the lower parts of the habitable atmosphere. Next to think about is food sources for humanoids and other animals to eat. Whether that be animals or plants, what would the beings of this setting eat in order to survive? Next would be sources of transportation, like dragon riding, snail riding, mech riding, or whatever people use to get around. We went for dragons, gliders, blimps, and giant snails(I like snails alright?) After that is the type of architecture that would be in this place, like where they would live and how they would live. For our setting, we made a few different types of cities depending on the different species. Skaven living underground in giant nests, Dragonborns lived either in or around volcanoes in villages similar to the Native Hawaiians, and a giant city above the clouds made of cities. Next is mailing and how they send things to each other. Similar to owls in Harry potter(I agree with Brennen Lee Mulligan). And finally, what kind of characters would be likely to appear in this setting. Ones already known? Ones new to reality? What animals would appear with them and such. Now go out my friends, go and be creative. If not with yourself, with some friends. Make some stories or whatever you would like to do.

No more bland-aids: make your Clerics interesting

Hot take: clerics in D&D 5e feel like the blandest superheroes. Without a clear relationship with a greater power or a faith, it’s easy for them to float in the narrative void like a cornucopia of bandaids. The solution lies in placing more expectations on them, constraining them, and giving them a deeper connection with the story’s world and whatever they serve. Continue reading No more…

I intend to marry the Lady Alicent Hightower before spring's end.

Exhausting, wasn't it? Hiding beneath the cloak of your own righteousness. But now they see you as you are.

Alicent demanded you declare for Aegon. She did.

Queen Alicent has not forgotten the love you once had for each other.
