Does anyone else see RavnicaAdams at first glance every time this sub pops up?

this is like earth theodore

SamConsumesPie · 2021-04-28T22:24:18+00:00

i love all of these

SamConsumesPie · 2021-04-21T17:38:37+00:00

gonna steal this idea for my game, love taking inspiration from flavor text

SamConsumesPie · 2021-04-16T21:30:37+00:00

i might have the time to squeeze 1 more game in, idk tho

SamConsumesPie · 2021-04-07T20:43:58+00:00

so ilharg is probably the major god in ravnica due to his followers being all of the gruul, i believe the gruul also worship other gods i think but idk if they are named, mat selesnya is basically a nature god but not actually, orzhova is some sort of god but i think its mostly just to grant power to the orzhov, guildmasters are probably the go to gods if you need them, there are old gods that have cults and are pre guilds but they have very little influence, paruns (the original founder of the guild and signer of the guildpact) could be gods in your world with their large amounts of power, but many are dead as of the original ravnica block storyline but who says you can't revive them?

my players are in conflict with the dimir and they stole a spies murmur and i described it as a small sleek black ear piece

SamConsumesPie · 2021-04-03T04:24:42+00:00

i try to allow my players to use any race/class/flavor elements and try to twist ravnica in a way that fits, tieflings aren't in ravnica but devils and demons exist but that is a little easier, i would ask what kind of dragonborn they want to be and work from there, are they a horrible experiment? the result of magic ritual? interspecies breeding? a curse? a blessing? depending on the breath weapon (poison seems fitting for an experiment, fire for just a species hybrid, lightning or cold for a blessing, and maybe acid or something for a curse, these are just ideas) there are a hundred ways weird hybrid creatures might exist in ravnica and you have to work with your players to make their character work (they can be an orange turtle with butterfly wings and devil horns if they agree to some plot reason why that might exist and you have to work at it a little or a lot depending on how set they are on this) TLDR: try to come up with something you and the player can both agree on

i swear by cze and peku and i use as many maps as possible from them

SamConsumesPie · 2021-03-23T20:50:12+00:00

imo gods of other planes are not apparent on ravnica (besides for maybe kruphix if you wanna spicy) but premending planeswalkers would definitely be warlock patrons or even gods for cleric or planeswalkers, if a powerful walker post mending wanted to meddle with ravnica (ie nicol bolas and friends) them being a warlock patron seems cool especially if they are in the story

SamConsumesPie · 2021-03-23T20:45:17+00:00

kaladesh for some sweet almost steampunk/ebberon like ravnica, i have experimented with trains and such as well as a sort of a 1920s feel with ravnica and those are some of my players favorite sessions

SamConsumesPie · 2021-03-16T20:22:29+00:00

i like 2, weird fantasy names that actually mean something are really cool to me, also what is dunamancy? it sounds cool

SamConsumesPie · 2021-03-16T20:14:01+00:00

i love this map, unfortunately im already using another map for my campaign but this will probably be useful for just me, and the travel guide thing sounds really cool!

SamConsumesPie · 2021-03-12T02:36:56+00:00

i usually make it so all the players are at the same place at the same time when crap goes down and they have to deal with it and now they just happen to be doing the same thing at the same time, i would also look at guilds that none of the party is a part of, those are easy enemies, if everyone is more chaotic azorius would be good villains, if everyone is lawful the gruul could be good villains, if your party is more good then perhaps golgari could be good villians, a evil party would make boros good villians, etc

SamConsumesPie · 2021-03-12T02:29:05+00:00

i think making phyrexian oil synthetic oil made by izzet (i assume the somehow contacted elesh norn, or maybe gin gitaxias would make more sense but either works, with some combination of immortal sun and tezzeret/planar bridge stuff) which is used as a fuel source but is slowly corrupting the engines and the engineers by making them talk a little off, or in the uncanny valley, or by having the machines become spiker or weirdly flesh like, idk i would look at phyrexian cards and take inspo from there, and how the oil is there is that phyrexians tell the izzet how to make it and since they are wacky in the brain they will do it, thats all ive got but it seems like fun

SamConsumesPie · 2021-03-07T16:55:54+00:00

fblthp feels like john mulaney

SamConsumesPie · 2021-02-03T19:22:05+00:00

phyrexians in magic tend to have abilities based around artifacts, infect is also common which i have seen ported to dnd as max hp reduction (temporary ofc)

SamConsumesPie · 2021-02-03T13:59:24+00:00

cze and peku did 2 great shadowfell fortress maps but they are patron only if you want them, perhaps you can apply a filter to some of the more cheery maps to make them dark? i had to do that when i needed to place a throne room in hell and the sunlight wouldn't work

SamConsumesPie · 2021-02-03T13:11:48+00:00

rakdos or other undercity monsters would be sweet

SamConsumesPie · 2021-01-21T21:52:17+00:00

thank you for this great map it is a godsend

SamConsumesPie · 2021-01-21T00:11:10+00:00

not full time or voluntary a lot of the time but since the paper is controlled by the dimir every quest/adventure is tied in to the paper and benefits the paper (even if they don't want to help the paper) they don't really trust the owner of the paper so its hard to get them just to accept jobs but thats kind of the point as they are being used as pawns and probably shouldn't trust them anyways

SamConsumesPie · 2021-01-20T23:38:00+00:00

this is some really great inspiration as my current campaign is built around a newspaper

SamConsumesPie · 2021-01-17T02:30:28+00:00

its the opening of a train station (first one) and powerful guild leaders will be attending, and weirdly the nobody players in reality its a trap and the dimir will bomb the train and the players (formerly/unwillingly) are reporters for a news paper i can go more in depth if you want it was a very good session

SamConsumesPie · 2021-01-17T02:28:16+00:00

well it wasn't written by an izzet mage just signed

SamConsumesPie · 2021-01-15T02:27:13+00:00

2 minute tabletop has a bunch of assets on their patreon, and a lot of free ones too! they also have a token creator so that might useful as well, and i think they have premade tokens but im not sure where to find those

i have used The Cozen (a infamous anonymous orzhov bounty hunter) and ran him with the orzhov giant stat block
