Quicklings, the speedsters of the fey realm! 2 ft (61 cm) creatures, they essentially experience the world in slow motion. They move and think so fast they look like a blur, and just cannot stop moving in some way. They're like if the flash was also extremely ADHD and a bit of a dick. Like they don't kill people or whatever, but they do mess with people to instigate fights and drama out of boredom. So you need something to entertain them, but I don't think I need to explain how "vibrating so fast they're a living blur" could be a benefit.

...also I love that the lore is just "Their archfey got mad that they kept showing up late and wasting her time, so she shrunk them and hit the fast forward button on thier existence." Like they didn't used to be 2 foot tall with a 15 year lifespan, she apparently just has life's remote control.

Intellect Devourer in D&D 5e: Origins, Strategies, and Emotional Impact

A looking deeper into aberrations in D&D 5e we peer at the Intellect Devourer. A grotesque mockery of a brain, the Intellect Devourer is a sight of horror. Born from the nightmarish depths of the mind flayers' experimentation #dnd5e

In the myriad of realms, few beings instill terror as effectively as the Intellect Devourer in D&D 5e.

On Bohemia - A Pocket Domain

On Bohemia – A Pocket Domain

Mordent, considerably more progressive than other domains by a distance.  Curiously, its presence in the Mists is the fault of Strahd and Azalin.  They devised a scheme to exploit an apparatus within the realm to free themselves from their imprisoned domains.  This failed, sealing Mordent’s fate as well. A fair share of oddities drift in and around the domain.  The Darklord himself, Lord Wilfred…

HOW & WHY Wizards of the Coast continually gets it WRONG

🎲 There is a consistently repeated reason as to why #WotC | @Wizards | @Wizards_DnD can't seem to get it right. Book after book… complaint after complaint. We discuss the "HOW & WHY" of WotC’s bad decision making. #DnD #dnd5e #ttrpg

Do you want to know how and why Wizards of the Coast continually gets it wrong? I keep saying, “Stop buying from companies who hate you.” Yet you still do it and perpetuate the problem. There is literally no excuse you can give to justify buying from these degenerates, other than you agree with them. “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!” Combine that with, “The definition of…

Mistakes Were Made

Now, I don’t think this was the best idea. I’m just putting that on record in case anyone finds this journal. This was a patently Bad Idea. Our plan sent me and Leon into the frog-man keep using Disguise Self and Comprehend Languages. As part of my disguise, I made sure to put a scar across my throat so that I could mime that I had no way to speak, if anyone tried to talk to me. The rest of our…

NaNoWriMo with a TTRPG Twist: Day 17

This is terrifically delayed, and a departure from plot hooks because I’m in need of a palate cleanser. I’m also not as present in the TTRPG spaces as I have been previously and so I’m playing a little catch up on some of the discourse (which should shock no one). Let’s all keep in mind these are my views and opinions on the topic(s) that follow and that they are by no means the be-all, end-all.…

I Played So Many Tabletop Games Last Week

I was lucky enough to play three tabletop games in the past week, and this post is about the two that I played in. Both of them were very different, but they both exemplified two styles of gameplay that I enjoy a lot. I got everything I could have wanted.

Last week was a pretty active week for me, in terms of tabletop gaming. Three of four possible games happened and I enjoyed each of them in incredibly different ways. While I’ll save my ruminations about my every-other-week game of Heart: The City Beneath for Friday, I have plenty to write about from the Elden Ring themed game of Dungeons and Dragons 5e I played last Thursday and the game of…

Legenda Czarnego Smoka S02 | Dungeons and Dragons 5e

Sprawy się skomplikowały – najwyższy arcykapłan Dugin okazał się być tym, który fałszował historię królestwa i co tu dużo mówić, zdrajcą, a niedługo później zniknął bez wieści. Jedni twierdzą, że został pożarty przez Ainasę – legendarną Czarną Smoczycę, która okazała się być żywą i diabelnie groźną legendą. Drudzy spekulują, że spiskuje dalej, wraz ze smoczycą, aby zniszczyć królestwo i…

The Redcap, murderous little fey born of bloodlust! 3 - 4 ft (0.9‒1.2 m), these are fey serial killers. They die if they go more than 3 days without soaking thier cap in blood, so it's mainly just a "might as well have fun with it" situation. They specialize in knocking people over and have IMMENSE strength, as strong as that of a grizzly bear. They are fine working with other creatures, so long as thier cap stays bloody and it's an odd numbered group. Oh, and the thing on the right is a Madcap. Just a normal redcap that soaked the hat in demon blood. Makes them go a liiiiittle feral. and explode when they fall unconscious. so be a careful.

Magical item. Sort of. These unassuming beans can be tossed on to any surface (including water, oil, walls and so on) to form a trap for any unsuspecting creature. Hilda van Hoffman was a mage and botanist with a huge interest in magical plants. Her experimentation with the beans came after an unfortunate encounter with Assassin Vines.
