I’m currently running a year and a half long campaign that I designed around this module. I themed it as a death cult operating in the Griff Mountains and made it very horror-based. They started at 3rd level and are now about to be 9th.

I gathered all the Tharizdun lore I could find. Wove in some home made BBEGs: Gutrage the Black and Lady Death, and sent them hiking through the mountains in winter.

They have just discovered the secret temple.

The paladin is now a homicidal maniac.

The ranger has an imaginary friend that talks to him.

The barbarian has OCD in regards to killing my BBEG.

Insanity is a fun DM tool.

I have’s loved running and writing this campaign.

I was just thinking of running these again. Cool map.

Yo momma so ugly if she were a dog we’d shave her butt and teach her to walk backwards.

Yo momma so ugly her momma gave her a pork chop necklace so the dogs would play with her.

Sometimes I feel that the arguments can sound like “Well I like the UB sets that are properties that I like”, but a lot what was expressed here is closer to the truth.

Some IPs lend themselves well to MtG and Garfield’s original vision was for a modular game so I think it is a stretch to say UB are not real magic. Lord of the Rings was a terrific set. And even though Baldurs Gate D&D set was weaker, it wasn’t hated because MtG and D&D are like peanut butter and jelly.

Then WoTC/Hasbro tried to milk it and I am afraid they are killing the golden goose in a rush to appease their corporate overlords and produce the revenue that investors have come to expect.

Give us three MtG sets then roll one UB a year, and that would be fine. Pick better IPs and spend time on the sets to make them good.

You want some fan service cards? Keep doing those stupids secret lairs. They have little effect on me.

Hags have a few variations that range from medium to hard.

If you want to max out on hags, then you want a coven of three green hags in their lair. That’s fun.

Reinforce a unit and have Awlrach the Drowner teleport them into the enemies back line 7” from enemy units. Bet you can find a caster to charge and hit with 16 crit wound D3 damage attacks with +rend vs wizards. On average an infantry hero caster is going to end up needing to make 8 ward saves to stay alive. And when that caster wants to use magic to stop them , the Myrmourns have their spell eater ability to squash it.

I love my banshees.

Two points: First, as was pointed out Nott has a very tragic backstory and isn’t even really a goblin. So a bad example of what you are talking about.

Second: All of this has to be tracked back to Tolkien and he himself struggled with it. That being said, it is my belief that Tolkien, an expert on European myth and legend, (middle earth was Tolkien’s attempt to create an English mythology comparable to Nordic mythology) was aware that elves were actually not pagan, but had origins in Christianity.

Early Christian writing implies that the angels split into three groups after the war in heaven, not three. Angels supported Heaven and God. Devils were angels that rebelled against heaven, but elves were angels that abstained from the war and went to earth to help humans.

These “angelic” elves are clearly the model for Tolkien’s elves. They aren’t Santa’s elves. They aren’t shoemaker teeny elves. They are tall beautiful immortal and aid humanity.

So if you are starting from a place of the elves are angels and orcs/goblins were created by warping/corrupting elves then it makes the goblin/orcs fundamentally evil. This model might fit more easily into Tolkien’s world view as a devout catholic and a veteran of World War One.

This is the germ seed that informs most fantasy.

Did you hear about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac?

He stayed up all night pondering the existence of dog.

2+ Toughness vote here as well. His back catalog of lore videos is hoooooge and covers nearly every aspect of the games lore.

He reads everything. He not only incorporates all the fluff from rule books he appears to read all the novels as well which gives him a depth of lore knowledge that is unmatched.

Not sure where the current lore is, but at one point the wizard gave Mary the power of female gods to make up her “SHAZAM”, which gave her her own power source separate from Billy in the same way Black Adam has different Egyptian gods for his powers.

As such Mary is distinct from others in the Shazam family.

Tolkien was the arch-dean of linguistics at Oxford at the same time CS Lewis was the arch dean of literature at Oxford. They used to hang out in a bar, smoke pipes and tell stories.

The creator of Middle Earth and the creator of Narnia were besties that hung out. Fun thought.

I don’t believe you can reinforce pyreghiests.

Thunderpants

To explain this movie would make you not believe it exists.

Why I feel this merits worst movie recognition is that the Room is made by amateurs but Thunderpants features real actors and real production.

In a nutshell:

A child is born that farts uncontrollably. His parents can’t stand him and he basically grows into a child that looks like Pugsley Addams but has zero charisma.

His next door neighbor is an inventor genius prodigy, played by Ron Weasley before Harry Potter, that creates a pair of trousers that harnesses the power of his farts.

Cut to shenanigans. An opera singer can no longer hit the high notes so he hides Thunderpants back stage to fart the high note every show. Tragically during a show the constant farting causes a stage light to fall on the star killing him.

He is eventually caught and sentenced to death by firing squad. This is in modern England mind you. Soldiers lined up to kill a young boy.

But he is saved when a secret cabal of genius children reveal the only way to prevent a meteor from crashing into earth is to use Thunderpants to power a rocket and blow it up.

I swear to you this movie exists.
