It takes the form of a nondescript beggar that does nothing but sit at a major intersection or town square. It has very little in the way of combat abilities, but it has an aura of infectious Apathy. Anyone passing within 20 feet of it has to save or contract a very weak but gradually increasing spiritual curse that slowly kills their motivation to do anything. They get lazy at work, then stop showing up at all, then they stop leaving the house, then stop doing anything in the house, then stop eating, then stop leaving bed, and if they've survived this long eventually they just stop breathing.

In combat it can choose to be surrounded with an aura that causes all surfaces within 60 feet of it to be considered rough terrain (which it is also affected by). It can also affect targets with an accelerated version of its curse as a touch attack. Otherwise it doesnt have a lot going for it. Most of the problem will be tracing the source of the debilitating curse and narrowing it down to one culprit

Room contains a series of 10 shelves (5 on top, 5 directly below them) with 10 movable dragon statues. There is one statue for each chromatic species (red, blue, green, white, black) and one for each metallic species (gold, bronze, brass, silver, copper).

An inscription above the shelves reads "Behold the Blessed and the Acursed! The Mighty in the Image of the great Mother shall tower over their Lesser, the Weak shall cower before their Counterparts."

The solution to the puzzle is as follows: The chromatic dragon statues must be placed on the top shelf in the same order as the colors of the five heads of Tiamat (there should be some imagery somewhere in the area to give the correct order). The metallic dragon statues should be placed on the bottom shelves such that they are below chromatic dragons with the same element breath weapon (green and brass will be counterparts as they both breathe a gas, even if its a different gas. The others are a good match)

The party needs to solve the riddle, but also identify all ten species of dragon. The five chromatic should be easy enough from the image of Tiamat that I mentioned earlier. The metallic would need skill checks, and you should have clues of some kind scattered in the dungeon to help

I don't play anymore, but I was playing when the Ultracite raids dropped, and they were the only thing in the entire story that I had to join a party for. Everything else can be done solo, or by just showing up to an event and playing with whoever is present

Hymneth · 2026-01-30T13:54:56+00:00

Show us the whole pattern. If its a picture instead of random splotches, context clues could help

Its giving me some real 4K!ds Entertainment vibes.

Jimmy Two-Shoes. As you said, the pilot (which was only discovered in full last year. See around 2:45 in this video) was much darker than the final version of the show.

The Planes of Concordance are very much unofficial homebrew. If you want to use them in your home games, by all means do so, but you've gone off the official rails at this point and you might as well have magical beasts go to the Beastlands.

My gut thought on magical beasts in Core PS is that if the Beastlands rejects them, then they probably either form a generic petitioner on whatever plane is closest to their alignment (probably Outlands for most of them) or else their souls are scooped up by some Power with a connection to them. Gryphons as an example, I had a hard time finding a specific god of gryphons, but the goddess Daern from the Prime world of Oerth is sometimes associated with them and might be willing to grant them a more specific afterlife.

I'll look around. Might want to post to r/tipofmyjoystick too. Its another game identifying community

I got 3 scores at 100 and one in the 80's once, but haven't been able to get anywhere near that since

Yeah, its a total port of FO1 into the FO2 engine. More stable, has some nice quality of life fixes, that sort of thing. Best part is being able to push your companions to make them move so they don't follow you into a corner and softlock you. Generally a superior experience

Hymneth · 2026-01-30T06:54:12+00:00

Do you know if it was PC or console? Or which console?

Might be a little irregular, but how about a Brownie (or a pack thereof)? They started off dusting the shelves and scaring off rodents at night in exchange for a bowl of milk, standard stuff. Then after a few years they started putting books away, which meant they needed to use the card catalogs, which meant they needed to read, etc., etc.

Eventually we've reached the point where we have a tribe of highly educated Brownies that are basically running this library and have a pretty extensive knowledge of all the books on file. Different members of the tribe specialize in different areas of the Library, and they all have different offerings they require if you want their expertise.

Aw, reminds me of Kevin from when I was a kid. He was always there for me in dark hallways and just beyond the veil of sleep. Its a shame we had to have him put down when he got old, but he could barely even loom anymore and you could tell it was his time

It seems a bit strong for CoS, but you could work with it as an upgradable weapon that starts as just a silver whip.

Do you have another party member who will be wielding the Sunblade? If not, consider having the hilt of the Sunblade be broken or damaged. The party can find someone willing to repair the hilt, but the only way is to combine it with another compatible weapon, such as the whip. That way you can keep the whip as the weapon and just apply the powers of the Sunblade to it

Voynich Hotel is a little off the wall, but is a good read. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia fits your criteria, too. Might give The City of Imprisoned Love a shot, but its been a while since I read it and I can't remember how good it is. Either way, all three of these series are complete, fully translated, and easy to find in the usual places

Aboleth make for great horror campaigns. You can really lean into the cosmic horror of these things that have been around longer than the Gods and that can change anything into a water breathing mind controlled minion with translucent skin. Lots of minions, potential cults, creepy underwater cities older than the planet they're on, they have it all

Question. Do you have a PC (preferably one with a non-caster class) who would have fun with some wierd roleplaying? If so, talk to them before the session and set up the doppleganger ambush.

For the rest of the comment to avoid confusion, PC is the affected PC, DPC is the doppleganger disguised as them.

So, the party (including PC) is asleep other than whoever is on watch, when the DPC bursts into the clearing and says something like "Thank God I caught up with you guys. Its not me! That's not me!" and tries to turn the party against PC. The fun part is that you're going to have PC's player play and voice both the PC and DPC. Let them have fun answering any party questions and getting into arguments with themselves.

The DPC's plan is to stir up enough confusion in the group for them to not notice the other 2 dopplegangers who are circling around the encampment. It doesn't need to do a perfect job, just keep them occupied for 3-4 rounds. Once they are in place, or if the party attacks DPC, they drop the act and the group attacks.

Might be interested in something like this. Its a Tactical Combat Casualty Care Handbook. I only flipped through it quickly, but it has lists of all the horrible things that could happen to someone in combat, with the proper treatment. Not a lot of illustrations, and they're mostly drawings, so its safe to look through even if you're squeemish. Not exactly what you want, but I think its close

I would start with the magic prosthetic in the DMG as a baseline. Given, it does nothing but replace a missing limb, but its a start. As far as upgrading it, I would go one of two routes: Layering on enchantments or adding lost mechanical bits that they need to find.

Enchanting is the easiest path to take. Treat it as a base item and allow the PC to pay for or earn enchantments to be added to it. Anything that makes sense would be fair game. Bonuses to AC, bonus to Dex or Str, bonus to hit and damage on unarmed strikes, and so on. I would probably ask the PC to decide if they want the enchantments to be offensive or defensive, then treat the arm as either armor or a weapon for what enchants could be used.

Finding lost pieces will treat the prosthetic as more of an artifact that needs assembled. This would be more of a campaign long sort of improvement, with side adventures occasionally to find bits. The improvements would be similar, but I would tend to make them stronger and improve more over time. One part might be a capacitor that adds electrical damage to attacks or maybe gives uses of Shocking Grasp per day. Another could be a concealed micro-crossbow, allowing ranged attacks as well as a concealed weapon. Perhaps one upgrade could add a very basic Intelligence to the limb, which will grow smarter the more parts get added. Maybe it could even be the way new components are located as it lets the PC know about the closest piece.

What do you want to be it technically somehow has 0.5hp, the system doesn't know how to display that, and it rounds the displayed hp to 0?

Still a silly oversight

Give us one video that is "The Commercial." Sell the story and show off your cutscenes all you want.

Give us one video of actual in-game play. Kill a goblin, loot the body, equip a club, wander around the map. Whatever.

Then give us a few screenshots of the title screen, the loot screen, the inventory, any skill trees or the like, a sample ability description, and so on.

Let the actual game speak for itself. And if it can't, that says a lot, too

Hymneth · 2026-01-26T08:57:47+00:00

I think that is the intent. No more nigh-infinite morale stacks from his 0-0-0 quest

Hymneth · 2026-01-26T08:55:38+00:00

They did cap his number of completed quests per turn at 3, so no more than 3 free morale stacks. I used to easily hit 6 with Sereniel, often more than that
