I'm just a little medicated right now.
ah, I'm still kind of ignorant about like 99% of the settings but I know they did quite a bit with it
Sort of funny that they used all the old pulp sources *except* the books and pulp magazines.
the books and magazines are on another page
takes like 2 pages
Durr...Sorry, my mistake.
Walking away before I embarass myself more.
(Not fast enough, apparently. LOL)
nah you're fine man
Hey, if you're doing a DnD game, why not add the Mongoose and Meerkat from Jim Breyfogle's series? They're characters in a series of sword and sorcery short stories published by Cirsova Magazine. Last year a collection of those short stories was produced and content for DnD campaigns drawn up. You can find out more about it here: https://cirsova.wordpress.com/2020/04/21/and-almost-finished-with-game-content/
I'll have to look at it later, built a west marches that I'm trying to get off the ground
when you spend a month worldbuilding a west marches campaign and no one will play it
Heh. I spent two months putting together a short Ghostbusters run last year, two days before we were supposed to start, everyone bailed.
west marches have no set schedules it's literally just a "Play as you go" kind of deal, and even then
Wait, ronin, I know you.
Height, hair color, eye color, and favorite firearm. What are they?
LOL
I don't like guns.
Yeah, well, the story has guns and you ain't runnin' around with a katana.
What story?
You're right, he could totally be a weeb. Should I give him a type 99 Arisaka then?
With a sword Bayonet?
Okay, lost now.
I don't even care where I am I'll just keep going
This is an old file I've had for years. Big list of RPG plots and hooks.
No. I literally don't like guns.
I love reading plothook Ideas
Damn. I'll need to find someone else, then.
my favorite thing with west marches is building the NPC's
got a few good ones built
a barbarian cleric that worships with the same energy as a barbarian raging, a drow "princess" that treats men like playthings
what do you need?
@Kanobiobiwan I believe I took care of Armed Trow. See the same post but in <#806143039215108116>
what was the question/need?
Ok so
P l o t p i t c h
This is a faith based horror film I'm considering writing as a first feature film, despite having barely any experience writing much of anything in a long format.
It basically follows a six year old girl (considering changing it to a boy; idk. I don't want the inspiration, Poltergeist's Carol Anne, to show through too much.) in the 1960s or 1970s (maybe 90s. I need candles to be a plausible thing versus nightlights) who is essentially tricked into befriending a little demon in the woods.
The demon presents itself as the spirit of a little girl who starved to death after her parents died in a fire in the late 1800s. She is my attempt to take the tired old "creepy little ghost girl with dirty white dress and long black hair that covers her face" and make it into something actually frightening and fresh - basically, I changed her into a feral child dressed in rags and covered in mud who crawls on all fours and eats raw squirrels.
She's "nice" at first and manipulates the main character, Agnes (name in progress) into bringing her "offerings" in the form of various toys and trinkets. She then guilt trips/blackmails Agnes from making new friends by scaring her, giving her nightmares, and breaking her things if she hangs out with other kids her age. It starts with things like hair clips and dolls and escalates to straight up stealing.
As a way to combat the nightmares, Agnes's mom tells her that if she keeps a candle lit next to her bed, the nightmares will stop. The demon has a habit of knocking at her window and opening it at night and Agnes decides that the candle will keep her at bay. The parents have no idea their daughter is interacting with something that is real and they think she's just sleepwalking or something. So, they tuck Agnes in, pray that she stay safe, and they light the candle without a thought. To Agnes's delight, the candle works - but only at the window.
