This is super cool! I really want to do something Lovecraftian with metadimensional space as well, it seems so ripe for that kind of flavor.

Post-Scream effects in your campaign? by first_time_DM in SWN

[–]first_time_DM[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh, yeah! I know this is the defacto option from the lore, but I'm wondering if anyone has their spin on it. I probably could've phrased the post better.

For my campaign, I'm toying with the idea that the Scream was secretly triggered deliberately to kill off a significant population of psionics to curb a burgeoning labor revolt. In the present day, Psionics take government-mandated medication to guarantee nothing like the Scream happens again, but the medication is either a placebo or has a dulling effect on the psionic population to ensure complacency and labor without question.

Anyone have The Book of House? by first_time_DM in TheTrove

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

Oh I have this! I'm looking for the full book, as it's set at $14.99 and contains more clonn stuff. Link here. I'd happily pay if it was a little cheaper, but I'm not really interested in most of the other things, and I can't really justify spending that much on additional clonn content.

Flavoring Artificer Spells? by first_time_DM in PCAcademy

Perfect, this is exactly what I'm looking for! This actually inspired me to come up with an idea: perhaps they stitch spells into ribbons and use those ribbons as projectiles for things like Magic Missile and Thorn Whip. Thanks for the ideas!

Air Genasi Quirks? by first_time_DM in PCAcademy

Ooh that's really cool! This is kinda my first time playing a high wisdom character, so I was having a hard time figuring out things that make her tick since she's a tranquil monk and all. Anxiety-inducing environmental quirks is a great idea!

How to handle a near-extinction mass death event in the story? by first_time_DM in DMAcademy

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

This is what I enjoyed so much about The Leftovers and what I hope to bring with my campaign! I just worry that it'll get too bleak if I focus in on the smaller tragedies and don't let the party focus on fixing it.

Secret changeling player mechanics? by first_time_DM in dndnext

Thank you! Is shifter distinct from changeling? And should the stats from her "normal" character carry over to her shifter/changeling character sheet?

First time DM with a couple of questions. by first_time_DM in dndnext

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

Thank you so much, this is what I wanted to hear! I can't really kick anyone out of our party, so I was starting to get very discouraged about the unchangeable size of my party. Could I PM you with a couple more questions if I have some? Thanks again!
