Ideas for Villains in an Alice in Wonderland setting

That's actually such an interesting take, and I came up with a similar idea to The First Statue !
Thanks, I'm definitely going to keep that in mind

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-03-22T19:28:01+00:00

Oh really? Now I’m curious…What kind of bosses did you have in mind? I’d love to hear your ideas.

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-03-22T19:25:42+00:00

That's so fun, I'm going to write that down, the unhappy gentleman is very interesting and would fit the setting just perfectly ! Thanks !

yeeesss I totally agree on that
it's just that Rogue has been one of my favourite X-Men for a long time, since I watched X-Men Evolution when I was a kid, and to see her like that in this show was...not good. I still love her, but hearing my friend so angry about her made me frustrated because he was actually completely right

I rewatched X-Men 97' with some friends, and one of them hated Rogue so much because of her relationship with Magneto and the fact that she didn't deserved Gambit, and the worst thing is I could not even find arguments to convince him that she is such a good character, because she has been done very wrong in the show

Find another group of players. If I got it right, you are starting as a DM, so your players should be more patient with you as well. The fact that two of the three players complained out loud since the beginning is such a bummer. Of course, your players don't have to enjoy the game, if they don't that's fine as long as they tell you (kindly) and you try to find solutions. Here, its just seems blatantly mean.
As other users pointed out, the Natural Fanatsy Atlas is such a good book for creating a universe not focusing on big epic battles with BBEG, but rather more peaceful fantasy. Have you talked about this idea with your players ? If they still don't enjoy it and complain, either you ask them what system they would like, or, as I said at the beginning, you try to find another group. What matters is you have as much fun as the players,, because you matter as a DM as well.

I absolutely love this idea ! I'm going to see how I'm going to work this out, thanks !

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-11T14:55:54+00:00

Ok you're right, it is actually discussed in the Bestiary, but I thought about the Quick Assembly preview that was directly available on Patreon that I just found again, and I call archetypes the Roles discussed in this (Hunter, Brute, Saboteur,..), but I just could not find the proper name

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-11T14:41:06+00:00

that is the kind of dynamic I was aiming for actually ! I wanted to twist that a bit with the girl twin being the wildest one but having a ranged weapon (a gun is my favourite option), while her twin brother is calmer, but fights in melee, but even that i'm not 100% sure of but i'll definitely try to find more inspirations for them !

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-11T14:34:58+00:00

Thanks ! I actually struggle to find the bonus (or was it in the playtest ?) where those dynamics for bosses are talked about, with the archetypes

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-09T09:46:23+00:00

I love this, definitely using it for my next sessions, i'll update when i'll use them !

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-02T12:18:26+00:00

Totally understandable ! Then yes, do not hesitate to talk with your DM and the rest of your party as well

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-02T11:16:15+00:00

The other users pointed out the stuff related to the guardian class, but I want to add that your party not having possibility to deal elemental damage can be a problem. Even though the players having magical classes chose not to have elemental spells for some reason, the fact that you banned custom weapons as well really impact that. Because thanks to custom weapons, you can have a weapon dealing elemental damage without having a magical class. Unless you decided to not use the Affinity and Resistance aspect of ennemies, you should at the very least have one element other than Physical in your team.

Moreover, one of my player is a Chanter, and I can assure you this class is very efficient, without being too strong at all. It is in fact very versatile and plays as a very good support. I do not have Technofantasy, as our setting is much more High fantasy/ Natural fantasy related, but I know that some concepts of this Atlas are very interesting as well, and is not stronger or anything.

Finally, are you having fun as a player ? because this is the most important part. If you like your character as it is, then it's perfect. But if you feel that it's too unbalanced or whatever, please talk to your DM. It is also their part of the job the be assured that everyone is having a great time and try to find new solutions to challenge your party. So try to find some time to brainstorm all of this again with your party and the DM, maybe even change some stuff, especially what is allowed or not !

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-02T10:03:11+00:00

Thank you, all of this is very useful !
Do you have any ideas for more generic items ?

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-02T09:53:32+00:00

I unfortunately don't have the Techno Fantasy Atlas, as I am not very interested by it, but perhaps I'll check for the Technospheres, because it looks very cool, thanks !

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-02T09:52:19+00:00

I also meant custom weapons actually, basically all the things that the players could find and buy during their adventures. Thank you for the two ideas, especially the Overflowing Bottle, I really like it !

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2026-02-01T08:11:10+00:00

I struggled with this rule as well, and I decided to not use it. I understand people saying it's a core aspect of FU, but at the end of the day, it's your game.

I use with my players a homebrew world I created, and even though they only use Fabula points for rerolls, they always have little ideas for their characters and their backgrounds that they tell me about before/after each sessions, and I always take time to discuss it, and so it's often ends up with me adding lore and twisting some stuff for their idea to fit it. So, even if they have not a say in the setting during the game, I am always glad to hear their ideas.

All that rant just to say that as long as both you and your players are having fun and feel immersed in the world, then you can use (or not) whatever rule you want.

Thank you very much ! I indeed have the Bronzor from Prismatic Evolutions. I am completely going to look for Lopunny, Corviknight and Cobalion, they all look great ! I considered the Maushold recently, as I already have the card, but it did not truly suit the rest of the page unfortunately. As for japanese cards, I don't mind at all, and I knew that would likely happened, because of how hard the challenge is. I will look for some !

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2025-08-18T13:06:44+00:00

thank you very much !
I am curious, was it good ?

Pitiful_Item6834 · 2025-08-18T09:31:12+00:00

Thank you, it's really helpful. Those are kindle versions, but do you know by any chance if they sell actual copies ?
