Series i have planned for a while. Next week need to hunt a new house, possible some deceased estate money coming through, can legally sell house, school ok getting extension and offered a job if i can complete enough units shortly. So promising upturn on adulting stuff.

ReplyDeleteCool stuff! I'm linking here on the blog/podcast this week.
ReplyDeleteWell done ! Now i want to play a "Magicians (the Series with the annoyingpost-teens) meet D&D" RPG...
ReplyDeleteI'll keep your tables in mind when i do, though !
ive done a wizard prep school before here and wizard school tables and magic library tables too
DeleteCampaign idea: The One Ring was thrown into the fires of Mount Doom, what about “The Nine?”
ReplyDeleteWith Sauron gone, each of the riders in black attempted to become the new final boss of the game. Each time Gandalf recruited a new fellowship with a new ring bearer to stop it. The players are the latest in the succession of heroes to destroy evil not merely by killing it, but by plunging the remains into a volcano!
What happens when the volcano erupts?
As it turned out, the evil artifacts of the past were not destroyed and are now scattered across the land. A strange idol, nearly molten from the volcano, lands on a character’s house and starts a fire. Thankfully no one was home, but searching through the burnt remains, they find something they don’t recognize. Logically only an adventurer would have something like the relic, but there is one good thing about statues.
The players won’t remember which adventure the idol was from, but there are a few ways for it to serve as an adventure hook. Researching the ancient idol reveals its history, right up to the point it was thrown into the volcano. Trying to sell it leads to an appraisal that could give similar information. Otherwise the evil statue eventually starts talking.
It does that even if the PCs well it, it is just that the statue corrupts whoever they sold it to.The talking statue can serve the GM as a source of device, it may evil be able to sense the presence of nearby items after sharing a volcano with them.
Meanwhile the “meteor” being studied by the wizard’s college turns out to be a cursed magical sword. A weak apprentice suddenly gains enough physical strength to bully the teachers into casting spells for him. Bypassing the schools normal defenses to attack at close quarters, the teachers are helpless and the incomplete education of the apprentice causes him to ask for impossible things. He might just be doing it to be a jerk and force his head wizards to admit their power has limits, but all the magic is becoming unstable.
May I remind you that the original One Ring had the power to turn people invisible? (Inspired by this thread)
Im not sure how this led to this
Deleteim thinking more like young adult mafic school for new players with sandbox tools not really into mega plots myself
