Arnold K wrote a post last year about 1 HD Cosmic Monsters that I liked at the time, but never came up with anything to do with it. However, for a session last week, I needed just such a thing while the PCs were in a rotting fungal forest, and decided to revisit the idea.
Aboleths have an identity problem. They seem to be obviously Lovecraftian in nature, but the writers of the various edition Monster Manuals have done everything in their power to make them just mundane underwater monstrosities. Conceptually, they have always been one of my favorite D&D monsters. I’ve used them in many adventures and campaigns, and have had a lot of issues reconciling what I want an aboleth to be with how they are presented in the manuals. So I’m going to try to rectify that now. Here are a couple ideas.
With a homebrew class I’ve been working on (more details soon), I’ve been inspired to create some golem types. I have stats and more details for some of these which I may post eventually. So currently more like drawing prompts if anything.
There’s a travelling family that travels the area, selling things they’ve picked up from others. Sometimes it’s cool stuff. Sometimes it’s really cool stuff.
Taken from my G+ Encounter Posts.
Here are some items for my game. Maybe you’ll like them. Special thanks to Mike and Jonathan.
Been needing to do this for a few weeks now for an upcoming adventure. Finished it, because when Arnold K says to do something, you do it. Here is a random jungle encounter table which may or may not include giant worms. Specific proper names here, just replace if you don’t like/need.
Here are some random Fae encounters. Special thanks to Jonathan and Mike.
I am trying to get back into working on my “Behind the Mist” adventure. I’d lost a lot of motivation when an artist that I’ve been speaking with (that I really hoped to work with) earlier this year ended up not having the time for it. I’ve had a lot of this written for a while, but decided to update it and put it out there hoping it would get me back into the writing habit.
I follow a lot of RPG-related blogs and people who talk about RPG-related things on G+. And a lot of those blogs and/or RPG-related-things-talking people have projects they’re working on (or have at least worked on at one point or another) that excite me. Here’s a list of awesome upcoming things that I’m excited for (and you should be too), and please comment if there are things I’ve obviously missed.
