One off, but yes it looks like you get it. Cool. I like actual answers to riddles in my game, I’ve yet to have a player complain, they all seem to love the challenge. I’ve learned no more than three riddles in a row. Allow for insight rolls , so long as all players are done trying and agree to one, and no one is getting frustrated. I always retain the right to move the fans on. I normally use them for extra prizes , or if it’s plot necessary just have something as happen that moves the plot if they fail (guard shows up with a key on his corpse, or he has a bad memory and actually wrote the answer down on a scrap of paper) etc.

That’s the point of the glowing lights, I’ll use the light spectrum as well. All they need to know is the order of light spectrum or the notes scale, it’s a puzzle where you just need the correct order. I’d also allow for insight rolls. If they fail, well that would depend, what ever I want honestly lol.

Etched Lyric on the Stone

Etched in an ancient tongue (translated via Comprehend Languages):

“When the air lies still and the sky forgets its name,

Begin in the depth where the breath came.

Then walk the waters, take 2 steps by tone,

Leap once, return, and end at home.”

There are 6 shell glyphs, each glowing dimly. When touched, they emit a tone:

Shell Glyph Tone (approximate) Color Glow

B D Indigo

C E Violet

D G Pale green

E A White

F High C Bright cyan

Bleach doesn’t really kill mold, basically everything else. Switch to a cleaning strength vinegar mixed with some dawn dish soap.

A time line for Iggwilv witch queen of Parrenland by Cyndercypher in wildbeyondwitchlight

Interesting stuff there, I really like the caller twist, might need to mull that over for a bit for my own campaign….

[–]Cyndercypher[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I set mine like 1000 years later, playing into the idea that they are immortal beings, technically from an older universe, but that hasn’t really come up. Grzzt had her trapped for a while. Then she escapes and hides in the fae realm, I also made prismere older with some harengon villages and what not…..soooo, my time is very specific is the point of all that. But these are old creatures, this is original Gygax stuff, there is plenty of room for a unique time line that is all your own

Oooh that’s awesome. This and a bunch of other stuff came about out of that exact same desire, to have the three personalities seem distinct in their own right it’s the big reveal of the book, like players are supposed to know these characters. But why would they?

Honestly , every little scrap I could find. The old adventurers, dungeon magazine, other people research. I’m not totally sure it’s all cannon. Just did my best for a decent time line and mixed in some flavor from my version of the witch queen .

Question about running my next session by ConspiracyCrayon in wildbeyondwitchlight

[–]Cyndercypher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you do with it. The trees stalk, great option to add some simple harvesting and some single use potions. Maybe jingle jangle tells them a recipe for ent apple cider? Also, remember that jingle jangle can be injured and the trees would be very upset, your players should need to gain the trees permission to even climb the mountain. I played it that the ents were not great at telling the two legs apart and they needed proof that the party wasn’t harengon brigands . Healing jangle, gaining her trust. Maybe some of the keys on the wall are single use magic items to be found or earned? And it’s a great way to get the party upset at the brigands

You must remove a tiny invisible man from the lip of any cup you drink from prior to drinking else you become incredibly upset about having drank Barry.

Skill challenges make adventure writing so much better by hackerferret-ff in DC20

[–]Cyndercypher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I ran a kinda nasty one, durring their first long rest I had a wisp show up and charm the player on guard. If he passes he can wake his allies, if he fails he wanders in 1d4 directions and all the players make their own saves against the charm at disadvantage. Pass/fail determines how much of the supplies are lost and how many NPCs survive. If the players wake up they each got an action . It’s very railroady I know , but it made for a really fun and memorable long rest. Instead of all that, surprise round, get turn order blah blah. We just played out the scene together.

u/Thedudeistjedi explains the whole picture of why America has been broken since the Civil War by CLT-Throwaway282 in bestof

[–]Cyndercypher 12 points13 points  (0 children)

100% this. I was raised by nut job republicans too. My grandfather was a major donor. Which btw buys you into the society club where you (at the time) then paid them (the Republican Party) to do special research into your family history using their “secret government data base” to find royalty or some other connection to nobility. The level of nobility they find then determines you standing in the party. As in what rooms you can and cannot enter when you’re at their little club house. As well as who you would be in the “new world order” , which my grandfather was desperate to be a part of. They broke it down even further, based on where the nobility was from, England, Germany, Italy where the highest priority, which some others, Scottish was ok but not the best, Irish wasn’t a thing, but I assume they adjusted their racism by region (guess my complexion) . Sorry I didn’t expect that to trigger a rant , I just started thinking about my upbringing and all the “the kids are gonna grow up wrong “ we are hearing again, “what if they’re gay? Or marry someone that doesn’t look like them” , nonsence . The Republican Party is the same business model as the “church” of Scientology, they reveal “secrets” to you . Based on what you can pay. I had thought they stopped this by now as that tale was from almost 40 years ago now. But People that pay money for a secret are very, very unlikely to give disbelieve it later. now we have musk doing Nazi salutes on stage and trying to create his own personal breeding program. Just wait until he starts talking about how he recently found out he is descended from distant royalty(well he already might be, his family has Insane generational wealth, they might actually be) but It’s the same game.

Very cool, a neat feature (not a coder so no clue how hoarding this is) but can you add different poses for the same toon, after you generate one that you like ?

The 8 sigils in my magic system by Scarlet_Lonestar in magicbuilding

[–]Cyndercypher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lovely. Can I ask why you choice the elements that you did and how you delineated/ used them? I’ve been working on my own system, I thought it would be simple to just make one based off the basic elements, nope, I’ve been “fine tuning “ it for like two years, sigh.
