The city of darkness

I was inspired when reading a Batman comic for a domain, add in some Sherlock Holmes and Victorian England and you have a setting.

A city has been infested with crime and poverty, government corruption and a privilege elite falling to vices. A hero rose from the shadows, a masked vigilante fighting ...

Re: Grimm land: a land of dark Fary tails

Thinking about the dark lord, they have power as an author that what they write becomes real, there stories happen but not always as written, thare are differences and sometimes his writings change. It drives him nuts trying to understand, sometimes he feels almost as if he is possessed only seeing ...

Re: Random Darklord Concepts



Oh right, did he kill one of his children? Any ideas how to make it different?


I don't believe so, although two of his six children have died in the civil war which followed his death.

To differentiate your domain, add details which do not echo Rokushima Taiyoo. Are there any sisters, for ...

Re: Before anyone else thinks it's a briiliant idea to write another darklord with a personality split...

Idea for a split dark lord, twins that now share a body. A hard life and abuse they become dependent on each other, it is a toxic relationship.
One is more outgoing and forceful but also cruel, the other is much more passive but less confrontational. It went badly when the passive one started ...

Re: Random Darklord Concepts



A king and father with a brutal belief in strength, survival of the fittest, he wanted to mold the perfect ruler to replace him. He constantly pitted his children against each other in tests. Always making them strive to be the best.
It came as a shock when he found one of his younger sons, one ...

Re: Random Darklord Concepts



A fighter in pursuit of martial prowess and to exercise weaknesses (like feelings of guilt or doubt) he removes his heart to become invincible. And proceeds to kill his superiors. He is now cursed to not feel much of anything except physical pain. And he remembers what he was like before

Re: Mistspace - Pondering a Spelljammer crossover

I have put forth my idea
Perceval O’Bibottom presents himself as a Giff to look up to, a leader of giff, the vary model of a officer. this is a lie, he is a scheming coward, selfish ladder climber that caused his superiors to die and his company to be stranded in hostile jungle with savage elves ...

Re: Grimm land: a land of dark Fary tails


Suggestion:
I think retellings of famous human fairytales are a well-trodden ground.
So as for the actual fairytales the domain mimics, I'd rather having either less familliar stories (like, stuff that doesn't have a Disney movie yet), or - better - ones made up by us, in attempt to imagine the ...

Re: Psyehill: a land of fog and madness


You could also draw on things like the Red Room from Twin Peaks. A place where parts of the fractured psyche manifest to aid or hinder PCs.

Good idea, but I have never seen that show. Can you explain a bit more to me.
I rather proud of the twist and subversion in it, that the monster the player ...
