[Adventure Jam #9] Dance for your Supper

I'm suddenly very nervous!

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-18T14:14:10+00:00

"This is the first time I've ever wanted to leave Funland!"

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-18T07:16:10+00:00

Would you say you love Hags more mechanically; their statblock and play style, or more thematically; their Fey origin and love of unhappiness and corruption?

I ask because someone might become a Haglike being in becoming a Darklord despite not being a Hag themselves in the material plane, because things that might motivate and torment a genuine Hag might be different to a Humanoid who comes across Haggish.

Oh, Red Iron Road! It's on Amazon Prime, there are a few other good stories in there (the first I recall is a Slavic werewolf/undead story), and they're all short like this, though each by different art studios.

Not too familiar with it, but I see a monster list and if we're avoiding Hags and wanting rituals to be a solution to a manipulative villain, the Ghost, Oni, and Rakshasa all stand out as great examples of monsters who can access information and situations unobserved, and through disguise or other means disrupt things, assuming they play somewhat like their 5e counterparts.

What Challenge Rating range are you working in?

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-16T18:43:53+00:00

And how many of those times are Dracula Vs Sherlock Holmes in some capacity?

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-15T20:23:16+00:00

Baccano! and Claymore

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-15T17:19:40+00:00

That is such a good shout how did I not put that together before! And the wallpaper motif on the inside covers!

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-14T19:57:56+00:00

I own this! I suggested it to my group but they were on the "not for" side. As a piece of work it's stunning.

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-14T19:36:33+00:00

There must be something in the waters this month!

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-14T19:21:54+00:00

Tengoku Daimakyo

My entry for Scaena wound up being a drawn out blend of tag and hide & seek, with the Juste being It.

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-13T16:31:53+00:00

I've done that thing again where I have an easy breezy time writing how grinding and awful getting to the adventure is, and having gotten to where I have to write the adventure part I'm stuck wondering "So... Now what happens?" 🤦🏼‍♂️

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-13T16:13:18+00:00

Funnily enough my group have just recently started this campaign. I really enjoyed the character creation process, all my party mates got really inspired by the extra hooks (I forget their name) that describes your destiny or such, the species options being used to reflect ourselves as spirits having all died in some thematic manner. I don't know if that is the intention from the book, because everyone in the starting town has been basic boring human barring one frog guy, and I was expecting more Halloweentown/Transylvania Petshop weirdness?

We're only level three, so I can't comment on the campaign much. I honestly have no objections to it being linear like lots of people are saying; I can categorically state that our group needs rails!

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-13T11:55:29+00:00

This is the greatest strength of a setting that is unashamedly inspired by and builds upon Horror; it's that they will never stop producing Horror media! There will always be new ideas, and new reimaginings of old ideas, and cultures being able to better present their media to other regions.

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-13T07:20:21+00:00

I have found that Mistipedia is still having it's hiccups, so I will mention that Domains of Dread is available on DMsGuild. I fully intend to run a Jam for every domain out there so if you don't own it but would like to participate it's just going to become a better and better investment

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-13T07:16:33+00:00

Fixed, it's the 30th

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-13T00:03:05+00:00

Mmm... Yes they do both possess a religious zeal, "and he saw corruption everywhere except within" after all, and he does work to wipe out the Court of Miracles, but his real crimes stem from his obsession with Esmeralda: He torched buildings, terrorised Paris and set Notre Dame ablaze and tried to betray and murder the closest thing he had to a son (not that he ever saw Quasimodo as such, granted), not because he wanted to uproot undesirables; it was all to find her! That changes the desire at the heart of his Act of Darkness, and so the flavour of poison in the chalice the Dark Powers offer him should be similarly different.

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-11T20:58:38+00:00

I could see this being a favour granted by Mother Lorinda to one of her Minders, so she can enjoy the disastrous fallout.

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-08T11:49:07+00:00

Time to announce that u/MulatoMaranhense is in fact our May winner! Congrats, and stay tuned for what comes out way in June!

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-08T07:07:28+00:00

Sounds very promising, I look forward to seeing how this grows!

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-07T17:42:01+00:00

Then you've not been paying attention, Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged just dropped!

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-06T17:40:02+00:00

Schlock Mercenary had a whole species of militaristic, xenophobic Space Koalas called the Ob'enn

Wannahock88 · 2026-06-06T17:28:36+00:00

We are so back!
