oh I still need to read your exerpt from the other night

sorry

It's not much, it's like maybe a page of writing that gives some background into the Alternate-Earth timeline that they're living in.

So don't worry about it. If you don't wish to read it, I always understand.

nah, I just got sidetracked with stuff to do yesterday.

hey @Kreia's Disciple Trow, mind if I dm you an excerpt from something I started working on? Idk if its something I want to publish to the world yet, or anytime soon for that matter. But I think it might be able to tie into our conversation about PTSD, to some degree. :/

Sure, go for it.

aight thx

I will point out that all that stuff up there is essentially story board, it's not the finished product, there's a lot that needs to get filled in. It's not like it evokes any emotion for people to hear "They let him feel the pain for a few minutes".

Was told I could post this here, it's a starter for a campaign/session for DND
"You find a stairwell, the place reaks of dust and mold. Travelling further you find a large metal door, the thing looks pretty solid. Opening the door you find a laboratory with equipment scattered around the room parchment scattered all over the humidity making anything illegible. Going to the main desk you find what remains of a journal Most of the text is smuged or worn, On the last page you can see "They have gotten out, I don't know where they are.... I put out notes on what I know is safe but I can't be sure anymore."

pardon the grammar and spelling

aside from the obviousness I ripped off Prey what do you think?

Not too bad for a start.

the plot hook is finding a wizard's lab that was studying mimics

did one for Ankhegs but I lost the text

Nice. 5 E or 3.5?

5E

also did stuff for Hollow Earth as well

LOL No one asks "4.0?"

Does anyone need to?

I've always been told that 4E was awful

It's all I ever played. (Not by choice.)

Oh, it was miserable.

I got all the books for 5E and resources up for a campaign

It's a large part of what inspired me to create my own system.

The running joke in my campaign was that the conspiracy theorists at the taverns would say that the Underdark doesn't really exist, it's all a hoax, and would suggest the players look into "Solid Earth Theory."

XD uhm, hollow earth is it's own system and setting based on the old pulp series

Right, but it's also a conspiracy theory with 100% convinced believers.

would be funny to add "Solid earth" conspiracy theorists

They seriously believe mole people are a thing living in a massive civilization below ground, with a giant light-bulb energy source.

will say the creators of the system get props for not apologizing for their use of nazis in game

Anybody who apologizes for using Nazis in their games is stupid, I don't care how offensive they are, everyone fucking loves killing Nazis.

these are pulp fiction nazis so you get some craziness like indiana jones face melting nazis stuffs

Pulp is awesome. You know what Dieselpunk is?

mhm

stuff isn't dieselpunk but it could easily be translated if it weren't for the rest of the setting like the dinosaurs or the atlantean prison in Antarctica

or traveling to mars and meeting 8 foot tall 4 armed women

Sounds like the old Jules Verne/ Edgar Rice Burroughs stuff.

that's what pulp is, or at least the stuff that the creators of the hollow earth system took heavy inspiration from

here's a list of what they used for inspiration
