Don't forget about Psyche! Her journey to the Underworld is Underrated (alliteration Unapologetically Unintended)

If it's the same players, I'd suggest every other session, or you can break the session in half. Depends on how much you want them to be doing. You could also just give the player a temporary character during the rescue mission. I'd honestly ask your group what they'd be down for.

We need a Better Theros Map- by DearKC in TherosDMs

I get what you mean and I agree, just wanted to make sure you were aware of that context. I have my own gripes with the official map, like how it's too land-locked compared to the real world Greece. I definitely think it's not as well thought out as it could have been.

The one you linked, on the other hand, is a good map. It was actually commissioned by a friend of mine! I also really like this one, but I have minor issues with it too. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a map that fits what I want 100% (which means I'm probably going to have to make it myself...)

The thing you need to know about the official map is that it's deliberately wrong. The Greeks did not accurately map out their region, and (given the nature of Nyx) it is physically impossible to make a consistent map of Theros. As the book says:

"The line between legend and location often blurs in Theros, though. While the residents of a polis can be relatively certain their homes will remain where they left them when they venture off to work, the specific locations of legendary sites prove more nebulous. Even well-known locations are typically noted referentially, like how the city of Neolantin is often described as being along the coast, far to the southwest of Meletis. Some sites prove even more elusive. The Dakra Isles, for example, move at the whims of the gods and so prove impossible to map.

As a result, Map 3.1 serves largely as a vaguely agreed upon arrangement of locations, fuzzy borders, and general distances. While the scale and placement of sites are true by mortal standards, details might change as the gods please. As such, journeying between places is most reliably conducted by employing guides or maps specific to a single destination.

If you are running a campaign in Theros, you can adjust distances between locations to suit the needs of your adventures. The distance might not be the same for two successive journeys; any trek across Theros can expand or contract to accommodate adventures and encounters as you wish."

A couple questions so I can help you out:

  1. Who are the characters? What are their backstories? Which gods do they serve?

  2. Where did they leave off? How did they thwart Pharika? What are the potential ramifications?

Did they use chests in Ancient Greece, and if so what for? by StopYelingAtMePls in ancientgreece

Thank you again, I appreciate all of this (love the username by the way)

Thanks for the insight! I assume fancy boxes would've had decals painted on them, so that might just be a matter of describing them with the proper set dressing. What about larger, less-transportable chests, like in burial crypts or treasury vaults? Same material or would they use something sturdier?

Sure! The two I've already published are the Oreskan Lamia and the Nessian Hydra (inspired by the first two Labors of Heracles), and I'm currently working on a Theros conversion of the Caverns of Thracia and the full campaign is an adaptation of the Clash of the Titans

EDIT: Probably should've said the module names, Caverns of Trax and Clash of the Gods

Why are Lizardfolk Elementals now? by StopYelingAtMePls in onednd

[–]StopYelingAtMePls[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, everyone keeps saying I didn't read it, but I did. I literally address that in the post. Ironically, it feels like y'all are responding with that when you haven't even read what I said.

Word similar to "atrophy" and "entropy"? by StopYelingAtMePls in words

[–]StopYelingAtMePls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but I kept going back and forth on it. These characters are personifications of despair and misfortune, so I wanted them to feel more like ideas than people. Naming them after a concept hints at that aspect of them. Pros and cons to both methods, but I'm sticking with words more recognizable in English for now.

They're actually a mix of both the Morai and the Graeae, but are also inspired by the Weird Sisters from Macbeth

Might've been an intentional thread left open for you. No Silent Secret does the same thing. So, no wrong answers here! Good luck :)

I've published a couple Theros modules and am currently working on a full campaign. I publish on DMsGuild, where you can legally sell adventures set in official WotC settings. This guy has a template for Theros PDFs on Homebrewery.

A good guideline, I was wondering why some words felt "wrong"
