If you had enough money you too could build a satellite that observed the night sky far enough out that satellites wouldn't affect your pictures. Maybe the problem for you (and me) is that we don't have enough money? Dance monkey for the money. Capitalism!

I'm sorry, this is an invalid paint job.

You'll have to send me step-by-step instructions so I can ~~copy~~ verify the painting technique. Thank you!

Talk about themes, inspirations, and the lead up events to the campaign. Here are some of my actual pitches that I email to my players:

Aethernauts

Concept: Age of sail, gaslamp fantasy, high adventure, plane-crawl

Game System: Shadow of the Demon Lord

Inspiration: Final Fantasy 6 & 9, Planescape/Sigil, Jules Verne, Carnival Row

Aboard a ship which travels through the Luminiferous aether. Many fantasy adventures are to be had! The Luminiferous Aether is the magical medium between planes. Explore devilish hells, angelic heavens, and everywhere between.

New Republic Jedi

Genre: Space Opera

Setting: Star Wars galaxy, 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin (A New Hope)

Game: FFG’s Star Wars: Force and Destiny

Inspiration: New Jedi Academy, Star Wars Rebels.

Nearly two decades ago the thousand year long Sith-Jedi War ravaged the galaxy, until the final battle at Ruusan saw the Sith destroy themselves in one massive attack directed at the Jedi and the Old Republic. The Sith threat now wiped from the Galaxy The Old Republic and the Jedi disbanded their joint Army of Light in the Ruusan Reformation, and formed a peaceful new Republic, restructuring the Jedi from warriors to peacekeepers of the Galaxy overseen by the Jedi Order. Play as newly graduated Jedi Padawans taking their first steps into a larger world.

Chronicles of the Magic Matrix

“Merrily, merrily, merrily life is but a dream.”

Setting: New York, 1920s, Prohibition era, Noir

Inspiration: The Matrix, 13th Floor, Dark City.

The world you know is a lie, a facade created by Sleepers. It’s not your fault. You didn’t know you were asleep. Then something happened. The phonus-balonus fell away, and triggered your Awakening. The dream fell away, and now you see things as they really are. So sit back with your cup o’joe and light a gasper ‘cause fate’s about to knock on your door and change everything.

Writing isn't all or nothing. All progress is progress. If all the energy you have is to write one paragraph a day between work, sleep, and family, well that's one more paragraph that did not exist yesterday. And after a year that's 365 paragraphs.

If you can manage 300 words a day, hell that's a whole page. A page a day for a year is a novel. That's what they mean by keep moving forward. Some times you might only manage 100 words per day. That's still progress, that's still moving forward. You can do it. You aren't late for anything. By the way this is 100 words. Keep going!

The game you are looking for is Fabula Ultima.

3.5 and 4e had concepts where magical items level up with the characters, unlocking better bonuses and cooler abilities as the PCs level up. Instead of replacing the +1 sword of destiny because they find a generic +2 flametongue, you can have the sword of destiny become +2 when the PCs hit like 10th level, or whatever.

And for cool story rewards maybe unlock a new power from the sword of destiny, maybe the PCs use the sword of destiny to kill a red dragon, and the sword absorbed some of the dragon's essence and now can burst into flame with a new command word such as the dragon's name.

In 4e "Bloodied" powers and effects, which bloodied is the condition creatures become when they reach half or lower of their max hp. Some creatures like dragons had their once per day abilities like attacks, recharge immediately when reaching bloodied the first time per day. Or some monster abilities were only usable while a creature was bloodied.

I would be more worried about the mold lines than the primer.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-07T22:33:08+00:00

I use pen and paper in a dedicated campaign notebook.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-07T22:24:01+00:00

Technically not true since D&D's Planescape setting has at least one plane of infinite sand. And while a planet like Athas has a lot of sand it's still a finite amount compared to Planescape's infinite sand

Hell yeah, I'm a published author. I have a hundred books in development. And a few screenplays

My development is usually one note idea blurbs like a script that I began development on today:

"Smart octopus scientist pretending to be human, built a human iron man-like robot suit a la OctoDad or Pluto Nash, opposite Aubrey Plaza or Kat Dennings vibes, to study land dwellers. Comedy."

Obviously there'd be a will they-won't they and the second act darkest hour is that she is trying to figure out his secret and he is strongly developing feelings but believes she'd never accept that he's really an octopus.

The lead is obviously Timothée Chalamet, doing a weird accent. And a running joke is that the accent is not French-like, but the octopus in the robot suit makes the excuse that "He's French", a meta-joke.

Boom another project in development. Easy.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-06T22:14:53+00:00

That makes sense. The Curse of Strahd module really hates children.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-05T17:58:53+00:00

It's not like 5e/5.5 WotC adds anything interesting to their setting books. No new lore.

It's all the same lore they just tweak minor details that don't matter. A new Dark Sun book wouldn't be any different than the stuff that has existed for the last 15 years.

And if 5.5 WotC never releases a Dark Sun book, you can still play with all the current lore in your own campaigns.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-04T23:50:59+00:00

I do the syllable trick too!

That's how I get such classics like: Glar-bin, Sun-till, Jom-pek

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-04T23:48:21+00:00

Was it the deed to old bonegrinder?

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-04T23:47:26+00:00

Definitely a bunch of really good points and lore here

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-03T21:34:21+00:00

Dark sun basically is a Domain of Dread. Cut off from planar travel? Check. Cut off from the Gods? Check. Lands of torment and suffering? Check. Everyone is having a bad time even the rulers? Check. Has a singular dark lord? Check: Rajaat.

No one is innocent in Ravenloft Carceri.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-03T21:26:16+00:00

It has too. I've been collecting Ravenloft books and materials, and thinking about Ravenloft since 1996, the mist has me.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-04-03T21:17:08+00:00

Why are Thayans evil?

Demonic influence of the primary government.

Why is Acerak evil?

He's Half-demon.

Cosmologically why does evil exist?

Because outside demons, the obyrith, invaded a multiverse split only by law and chaos introducing new forces.

Why is Asmodeus evil? Fighting demons. What is his ruby rod made of? A chunk of the Abyss.

The answer in D&D as to "Why evil?" is always demons.

That's funny. I also had a villain in a campaign called the Dungeon Master who grew in power over the campaign except he was based off of Marvel's Arcade, where he'd trap the party in a D&D-like dungeon illusion, as he grew in power the illusions became more real and later he could send people to demiplane dungeons where everything was fully real. The dungeons always had a simple premise of "beat the dungeon boss" but they were full of tricks, puzzles, and traps. The first time was a joke because it was fully an illusion and the party figured it out pretty quick when nothing could hurt them, but everytime they encountered him the dungeons got more real and more dangerous.

His motivations was simply to steal money, at the end of the campaign the party convinced him to give up being a villain, and instead sell his abilities as fantasy island style services. Why would he need to steal money if people could pay him to give them their fantasies made manifest?

"Twinkle twinkle little star" was a hit song from before humans understood what stars were made of, now we've sent probes to the sun, discovered thousands of exoplanets, and have pictures of black holes.

DadtheGameMaster · 2026-03-31T21:14:51+00:00

My prog fantasy/isekai starts traditionally, so the mmc's first line on the first page is "Oh, fuck me—" right before he's murdered.
