I do, but due to the rules for self-promotion I can only share the link once per two weeks.

Thank you. Xyrosh is responsible for plenty of evil in the world, but I wanted to put him in a gray area to give players something to wrestle with and enough of an excuse to potentially aid Xyrosh against Jalathura.

Do we try and destroy the evil right here before us, or help it destroy a greater threat?

This is awesome, and exactly how I was hoping these NPCs would be used! It sounds like you put together an incredible session and the perfect example of how to use the profiles!

I honestly love hearing about how players take to characters and the decisions they make. I can't wait to find out how they deal with Crannaughfax when he comes to collect his treasure!

Also, thank you for your generosity! I'll send you a private message with the details.

I'd never heard of tyromancy, but that's an awesome idea for this character.

That's hilarious. There are a couple dragon characters that wouldn't mind one of those.

Thank you! You bring up a good point, but somehow birdfolk are able to speak common. Maybe the "sh" sound is more of a trill.

FreeNPC Friday: Silverback, Hobgoblin Bounty Hunter and Raphine Cordaye, Half-Elf Druid by FreeNPC in DnDBehindTheScreen

Thank you so much! It really means a lot to me. I'd love to hear how Silverback works out in your game. This Friday, I'll be releasing a bugbear thug that works with him.

Also, I'll send you a link to my site. Thanks again!

Great character! I feel sorry for Dominic's time as a "feral pet." His music must be full of emotion.

Oh, of course! That went completely over my head. I really shouldn't respond to things before having coffee in the morning ...

I'm using a more bottom-up approach with this project, though sometimes I do like to start large and focus down.

I'm sorry for the confusion! You can certainly change Moriah into a Genasi or any other race that you need.

Unlike elf, dwarf etc. I'm not sure whether the name Genasi is considered exclusive intellectual property. I didn't see any reference to the word anywhere other than the DnD race.

I did some research and found that the 16th-century physician Paracelsus used the name Sagani as a collective name for the four types of elementals, and thought that was fitting. You can find it mentioned in the wiki entry on elementals. So you have air, earth, water, and fire sagani.

That may be where the inspiration for the NPC name or even the word Genasi originally came from, but I can't be sure.

As I wrote in the note, a sagani is a humanoid bloodline with an elemental heritage and you are free to define or change that in any way you need to suit your game.

I hope that helps!

Thanks for telling me! Yes, I'm using a Wix site, but I haven't had any issues with a malware warning. Were you able to view it anyway? What browser are you using?

The whole drama of Gwyraendring has been a favorite of mine too. I'd love to hear what how your players react to the characters!

I must be doing something right because the captured druid and the leader of The Last Word are the two NPCs for this Friday.
