I had this idea when I was DMing, and now that I have taken a break from that, I knew this idea was still too good not to share. I hope you enjoy it.

The Setting of Sorm Maw
​
In ancient times, this land was once called the Cradle. A lush paradise bordered on the north and south by two large mountain ranges, the only easy ways in being the two valleys on the east and west. This land was once home to such a diverse ecosystem that it was commonly believed that all life sprang from this one place.
​
The first the build cities in this land were the Humans, and their cities were built around the greatest agricultural centers in the world, believed to have supplied most of the exported foods for all the old kingdoms. But this first kingdom of Humanity would not last, and no one remembered what madness convinced the kings of old to open the Gates of Fire. But be it for riches, power, or immortality, a great volcano formed at the center of the land, and from it spewed the great armies of the elemental plain of fire Efreeti kings ruled the now burning lands, the land once known as the Cradle, was now the Burning Maw.
​
For five hundred years, the elemental plain of fire tainted the land, making it nearly impossible for the now enslaved Humans and what few free tribes to bearly hold onto life. The last bastion of resistance was the Dwarven Kingdom which dwelt in the southern mountain range. But even then, it was rare for Humans to escape their Fire Sultans to this last safe place, and the price for freedom was almost as high as staying in bonds. The land was such a cursed place for life that Hobgoblin fortresses being built in the northern range and sending raiding parties south was more a break from the tedium than a true threat.
​
Then the dragons came, two Ancient Blue Dragons, a mated couple, would invade the northern mountains. With a massive Kobold army, conquering it before sending an assault into the Burning Maw, the war would be long, but in the end, the Fire Gates would be closed, and the great volcano died, along with most to all elementals in the domain. The two then conducted a great ritual, and above their new lair formed the Ever Storm, and with it came the rains. The desert would become a savana, and life would begin to return. With the Kobolds and Hobgoblins in their armies, the two Dragons would subjugate the surviving Humans and build a new kingdom. And with every passing Draconic generation and with new lairs established, The Burning Maw would now become the Kingdom of Strom Maw.
​
The Kingdom of Strom Maw would be an oddly united realm. The casts separated into the three main tires of civilization. The Military, the Sorseror Nobility, and the Crafts Guilds, each being the only groups that could be said to have rights under the Dragons and for whom life is relatively well.
​
But something is going on, the next generation of Dragons is of age to take their armies and establish new extensions to the realm, but the armies have not marched. Some believe that the last of the Founding Dragons is close to death, and the young are simply waiting for the inevitable civil war to start. Will the Kingdom survive such a conflict? Will the Ever Strom vanish if too many Dragons die, turning the land back into a waist land? Are there any heroes in this dimension who could intervene in the conflict and save the innocents who will inevitably get crushed in the coming chaos? Or will, after two thousand years of grim stability, will Storm Maw be destroyed and become a dead place?
​
Sorry if this is not ok for this sub. I just felt like writing this down somewhere. If there are any questions about the setting, I will eagerly answer them.

[Equalia Falls Mental Institute]
~~~~~~~~~~~
You were born with the ability to see and hear things that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. However, when you told others about it, they saw you as crazy and insane.
It eventually got to a point where you were eventually shipped off to a mental institute, and you've been there since then.
Though for some reason, you've always felt something...off...about your new home...
For instance; Once you made a new friend a few days after your arrival, only for them to go missing a few days later...
Not only that, you've also been noticing several other patients would often be found on the halls covered in blood...
You tried not to think of it too much but it still irked you a lot.
~~~
{PRESENT TIME}
~~~
Recently, a new patient had arrived at the Institute a few days ago. His name was Elixer and he originally was a homeless orphan before a police officer caught him almost trying to kill someone...
Despite his origins, he genuinely seemed like a chill person!
Right now, you and the other patients are all hanging out at the Playground and you're happily swinging on the tire swing.
That is...until you're suddenly interrupted...
"NO!!! STOP IT!!! I WON'T JOIN YOU!!!" It was Elixer...
You looked over at him and you're terrified to see a female demon standing behind Elixer as many black tentacles swarm around him, all while Elixer is on his knees crying and covering his ears as the female Demon smiles at the sight, seemingly enjoying seeing him suffer.

You're a demon. You're mainly known for having caused the suffering of many, many innocent souls with no remorse whatsoever.
You've gone through many human hosts, all of them ending up not satisfying your expectations. And in the end you grew bored of your main tasks.
One day, you were walking around your void that you resided in when you heard a shrill noise in the distance.
Crying...Was that...what you thought it was?
You walked around, trying to find the source of the noise, before eventually you came up to what looked to be a small white bean. Upon closer inspection, you came to realize it was a small baby girl wrapped in a white blanket.
For some reason, you found yourself bending down and picking up the small girl into your arms, cradling her gently to stop her crying. Your actions proved successful as she soon quieted down and looked up at you with soft and small eyes the color of coal.
You couldn't help it; You smiled, feeling rather content with the small child's presence.
You slowly and carefully removed the blanket she was bundled in, casting it aside and replacing it with a beautiful Ivory faux fur coat, a small gift from you.
You chuckled as the baby giggled happily and reached out to you while cooing.
You never wanted this moment to end...
~~~
{PRESENT TIME}
~~~
You stood over your daughter, who you learned over the years was named Lizzy, as she trembled in fear upon seeing you, hastily backing into a corner of her dorm room. Your heart ached seeing her like this, but then again, you knew she would soon grow to tolerate you and accept you as her (mothefather).
Over the years, you managed to attach yourself onto Lizzy's soul as to keep a better eye on your beloved daughter. Unfortunately, this resulted in her going crazy and being sent off to a Mental Institution..
You swore to yourself that you would help her out of that disgusting place...unfortunately, she didn't seem to remember you and was always terrified when she saw you...
You held your arms, offering a hug as you took another step towards her.

~~~~~
It's been almost a year since you and your friend, Zekiel, were transferred from Voidkin Asylum to Equalia Falls Mental Institute. And though it took awhile, you both eventually got used to your new surroundings.
At first Zekiel was scared. Seeing an environment where he was possibly vulnerable for HIM was a challenge for him to get used to. But after seeing the crucifixes in the dorms and locks on the doors as well as the nurses giving him a rosary to wear, he calmed down.
As for you, at first your were severely clingy towards Zekiel for a fear that if you didn't stay near him constantly, something would bad would happen to him...
...or worse...
But soon you grew more calmer the more nights you both encountered and survived together
~~~~
{PRESENT TIME}
~~~~
One night, you and Zekiel are peacefully sleeping in the dormitory you had chosen for the night. When you suddenly wake up to a roaring noise far different than what you're used to hearing.
You slowly open your eyes and your eyes widen when you see a seeming 9'2 tall demon standing over you while a shadowy humanoid figure stood in front of Zekiel's bed. Despite the humanoid having no face, you could tell it was glaring at the demon that towered over you.
Speaking of the demon, a sinister smile crept onto its face upon seeing you awake and you heard the shadow human emit a low growl...
What does it want with you?
Does it plan to do something horrible?
Most likely...

Other podcast apps such as Pocket Casts and Podcast Addict allow for playback of local files. This would be great for those of us who have our own audiobook files or podcast files that we'd like to listen to from Podurama

I’m not saying anyone shouldn’t be excited but... I personally was not begging for a sequel, especially when I’m 55% sure it will be padded with sequel/remake bullshit (annoying references, overhyped character reveals). The atmosphere definitely won’t be the same, and I’m scared they’re just gonna pander to hot topic junkies who worship the tim burton aesthetic but haven’t even seen any of his movies. Wondering if anyone else feels like this.

Now, about 3 years ago, people decided that Jujutsu Kaisen had set a new Golden Standard to the way female characters should be written and presented in shonen manga. A giant leap of progress compared to the old days of Naruto and it's awful female cast, right?
It was also 3 years ago that Nobara's head exploded and we don't even know if she is dead or alive, because no one talks about her. If she died, no one mourned her. If she is alive in a critical state, no one is worrying about her. She basically doesn't exist. That's the way the manga treats her.
That would never happen in Naruto. If Sakura died, her friends and teachers would mourn her until the end of the story. If she was put in a critical state, they would worry about her in every single chapter. She would not be forgotten, or treated like a non-character that stopped existing.
Kakashi didn't give Sakura enough attention? Well, Gojo only talked with Nobara once in the whole manga. Sakura didn't win enough fights? Nobara won one.
Like her or not, Sakura was never a non-factor. She was always a key character, present during all major events, moving the plot here and there. If Sakura didn't exist, "Naruto" would be different. If Nobara didn't exist, "Jujutsu Kaisen" would be the same thing. Gege proved it himself.

Creativity is the lifeblood of an artist, but even the most inspired minds can occasionally experience a formidable obstacle known as artist's block. It is a phenomenon that stifles creativity, leaving artists feeling stuck and devoid of fresh ideas. However, by exploring various techniques, we can break free from the chains of artist's block and rediscover the boundless realm of imagination. In this article, we will delve into effective strategies to unleash creativity and reignite the artistic flame.

1. Embrace Mindful Observation: The world around us is a treasure trove of inspiration. Engage in mindful observation by immersing yourself in your surroundings. Notice the interplay of light and shadow, the intricate details, and the subtle nuances that often go unnoticed. By training your senses to observe, you open the gateway to a multitude of creative possibilities.
2. Experiment with New Mediums: Stepping out of your artistic comfort zone can be a catalyst for fresh ideas. Experiment with new mediums, techniques, or art forms that you've never explored before. The process of learning and adapting to something unfamiliar can stimulate your brain, spark curiosity, and breathe new life into your creativity.
3. Seek Inspiration Beyond Art: Inspiration can be found in various realms outside of traditional art. Delve into literature, music, cinema, or even science to discover narratives, emotions, and concepts that resonate with you. Drawing connections between different art forms can ignite unique ideas and perspectives that fuel your creative endeavors.
4. Engage in Collaborative Projects: Collaboration can be a powerful antidote to artist's block. Join forces with fellow artists or individuals from different creative fields to embark on collaborative projects. The exchange of ideas, perspectives, and techniques can stimulate your own creativity and push you beyond your artistic boundaries.
5. Embrace Playfulness and Experimentation: Sometimes, the pressure to create something perfect can stifle creativity. Embrace playfulness and experimentation by setting aside expectations and allowing yourself to explore without judgment. Engage in spontaneous mark-making, doodling, or abstract expression to unlock your creative flow and discover unexpected gems.
6. Engage in Regular Artistic Rituals: Establishing a regular artistic routine can help overcome creative blocks. Set aside dedicated time for your art, whether it's daily, weekly, or as your schedule allows. Treat it as a sacred ritual, a commitment to nurturing your creativity. Even during uninspired moments, the act of showing up and engaging with your artistic practice can reignite the spark.
7. Connect with the Art Community: Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can be an immense source of inspiration and motivation. Connect with fellow artists through local art groups, workshops, or online communities. Participate in critiques, share ideas, and engage in discussions. The collective energy of the art community can invigorate your creative spirit and offer support during challenging times.

Artist's block may occasionally cast its shadow, but by implementing these strategies, you can unleash your creativity and break free from its grasp. Embrace mindful observation, experiment with new mediums, seek inspiration beyond art, engage in collaboration, embrace playfulness, establish regular artistic rituals, and connect with the art community. Remember, creativity knows no bounds, and with perseverance and an open mind, you can reignite the flame and embark on an exciting artistic journey of discovery.

This is far off the beaten track and careening heavily into homebrew. But I'm running a goofy one shot where some wizards sought to break the limits of magic and broke something fundamental to the world - the DM.
I will roll as the DM to see if I give good descriptions of things or not, give out advantage and disadvantage on different checks, and augment or get rid of class features as we go. Yes it's going to be broken, but it's meant as a goofy break from our main campaign.
The ending battle will have a PC I want to play, the "human" side of the DM as an NPC trying to unite the DM again, and... me. As the DM. In game, casting spells.
What would these spells be? I was thinking of phrases like "are you sure you want to do that", "you can certainly try", and other commonly used phrases as saving throws with different effects. The most destructive of which has to be "rocks fall".
Any others that come to mind?
Oh and lastly, they can only damage the DM enemy by roasting him. Should be a fun night.

Hey y'all,
Been brainstorming a while, and I've got a few adventure ideas I thought I'd share with the group. These are free for critique, use, modification, etc., by anyone who wants to. Knock yourselves out, and if you've got ones you want to share, please add them to the comments!
1) Soap Operas of Night City: The PCs get mixed up with a BD soap opera. Since braindances are experiences, that means anyone you meet on the street might be braindance recording. Which means that any interaction you have might not be completely genuine.
Intro: As the PCs are walking down the street one day, they see a couple having a completely histrionic meltdown in public. Others have gathered around and are watching these two folks tear into each other, until the woman steps up and backhands the man, hard. The man raises a hand back...and that's when you ask if the PCs want to intervene. If they don't, they drive on by, no harm, no foul.
Focus: If the PCs intervene, the couple loops the PCs into their drama. The man's name is Pepi, the woman, Marina. It seems Pepi's twin brother Pepe slept with Marina, but she knew it was Pepe and not Pepi. Human Perception checks detect that there's something wrong with this setup - both Marina and Pepi are being way too histrionic.
Strike: After the PCs extricate themselves from the couple (who are sloppily make-up-kissing), a fixer approaches them with NDAs and contracts, and invites them to join the cast of Real Housewives of Night City, a BD soap opera. If the PCs don't join, of course, the show's corporate sponsor (pick one that works best for your campaign) will start harassing them. Not only that, the show keeps "filming" near whatever jobs the PCs take, often trying to loop them into the drama. Of course, if the PCs do join, then this is a great opportunity to pump up their Acting skill and really dive into some drama.
2) SUPER Y: Hyper-intelligent child prodigies are using a pre-Krash AI to rewrite history and culture, trying to remove sources of conflict.
Intro: Overnight, sources of information start changing, often in strange ways. Every digital record of the 4th Corporate War is eliminated in many of Night City's nets. Criminals are labelled as "misunderstood" and then set for release without conditions or bail. Sources of conflict between corporations are removed, lost, or destroyed. Oddly enough, many children's books keep changing, including Goldilocks and the Three Bears (the bears adopt Goldilocks and she learns to be nice), The Boy Who Cried Wolf (the moral is changed to be that everyone should just believe you all the time), and Hansel and Gretel (the moral is changed to not eating other people's houses).
Focus: Netwatch enlists the PCs to help them track down the hackers. There are no tracks, no clues, no trace. In fact, it's suspiciously similar to Rache Bartmoss' MO. Eventually, the PCs find a lead that leads them back to a building owned by Bartmoss. Fighting their way past insane bots, auto-turrets, and Black ICE, they eventually gain root access.
Strike: Turns out, this was all done by a group of child prodigy netrunners led by a kid named Wyatt. They found an old AI down here, created by some guy named Bartmoss to rewrite data. By jacking in to several networks, they discovered that they could effortlessly alter facts in an attempt to stop another Corporate War. Now the PCs have a problem: the kids they can turn over to Netwatch (who will do God knows what with them), but what do they do with a pre-Krash AI programmed by a madman to alter truth? Hell, at this point, are the PCs sure they know what truth is?
3) Librarian-Guerillas: When corporations run shit, it can really put a damper on public services. A group of self-styled librarians are waging a guerilla war against book publishers by stealing content to share with their communities.
Intro: Several trucks are hijacked. All those trucks were carrying "useless" detritus heading to a disposal site. The PCs are enlisted by a corporate fixer to track down the stolen goods and kill whoever took them.
Focus: A look at the manifests for the trucks reveal they were all carrying at least some books, and when the PCs track the actual trucks down, they find that the books, and any salvageable weapons and armor, are gone. While they're doing that, an e-bookseller has their entire catalog copied overnight. Clues lead back to a new gang: the Librarians, who are holed up in the old City Annex on the outskirts of the Hot Zone.
Strike: When the PCs arrive, they find a fairly modern city library - residents are allowed to check out both paper and digital books, a quiet coffee-flavored kibble shop sells underpriced snacks, and there's even a mutated box turtle in little terrarium. The "gang" are all kids of old librarians, and they're focused on restoring services to the community. What do the PCs do?
Hope these are useful!

I came up with a witch/hag magic item I wanted to share in case anyone is interested in using. Its inspired by a 2nd ed magic item but heavily modified. I'd love to hear how it works for your group if you end up using it.
Spool of Aging
This magic spool is used in conjunction with casting bestow curse or bestow greater curse.
When casting bestow curse, the caster has the option of holding the spool and making a successful touch attack, per the spell. Or the caster may prick the target with a sewing needle, requiring a regular hit that does 1 point of damage. Upon hitting the target, the target must make a will save vs bestow curse as normal. If the caster successfully hit with the needle, the targets blood causes the target to save vs the spell at -2 (maybe -4? for some DMs, the trade off with a regular hit vs touch attak should have a trade off).
If the target fails the saving throw, their soul is bound to the spool of thread indefinitely. Anyone can unwind the thread from the spool. For every inch unwound from the spool, the target ages proportionately to their race (e.g. 1 inch of thread ages a human 1 year or ages an elf 10 years, etc).
Remove curse or similar spells will undo the cursed connection with a successful caster level check. But it will not undo the aging which is an instantaneous effect. Undoing aging requires more powerful magic in line with wish, miracle, or perhaps heal, greater restoration if a DM was inclined. Perhaps the DM rules it needs a special way to reverse, sparking a side quest.
I plan to use this with my group soon. My goal isn't to punish my players with it. But i hope it spins off into a side story line.
Side note, using bestow greater curse may have more detrimental or different effects with the spool at the DMs discretion.

When Canada finally gets an English-language version of Taskmaster, Mae absolutely has to be the assistant, which I would say is the much harder role to cast. They have such a great understanding of the cleverness of the show, while also having the very assistant-y traits of being confident and not at the same time.
What do you all think?

Interest is 10% and losing the Atronach Stone ability without having the required sum of gold in your inventory leads to death.

Nord
Apprentice - Elder of Runes: The Apprentice transfers half of base Stamina regeneration to Magicka. Atronach - Shamanic Trance: All-Maker Stone powers used during Rage are returned to you if Rage is maintained for a further 8 seconds. Lady - Dream Journey: Sleeping grants a random All-Maker Stone power if you do not already have one. Lord - Atmoran Heritage: Nord blood grants 50% Frost Resist.

Elder of Runes almost doubles base Magicka regeneration due to the discrepancy between base Stamina regeneration (5%) and base Magicka regeneration (2.5%). All-Maker Stone effects will tie into an upcoming Futhark mod. Attacks of opportunity are a Valravn feature and result in extra damage when attacking an enemy from behind or while taking certain actions; Freyr no longer requires Valravn, but consult the Valravn mod page for more information.

Effects that trigger "if you are stronger than your opponents" take into account the current number of opponents, level difference, and current Health difference, so they will always activate at some point during any fight. Adrenaline Rush and Shahrazad replace your Shehai effect, removing the original effect. Adrenaline Rush has the same duration as Shehnai. Shahrazad has the same duration as Shehai and spawns with a random Destruction and Conjuration staff based on level, dealing 1% of base Destruction damage per point of Magicka and 1% of base Conjuration duration per point of Stamina. Jinniya of the Lamp grants a wish every 1001 minutes (16 hours and 41 minutes), granting a choice of 100K-500K gold + 20-40 rare items; +10-20 to each attribute; +2-4 perk points; or +5-10 dragon souls. There is a countdown on the effect in your Magic Effects list.

Remaking Fallout Tactics to meet up-to-date standards would be a wise move for Bethesda, benefiting both new and older fans of the Fallout franchise.
One of the reasons for Bethesda to even think about remaking Fallout Tactics lies in its potential to attract both new and older fans. A modernized version would capture the attention of veteran players, allowing them to revisit the tactical combat they enjoyed in the original game while experiencing it with updated visuals and mechanics. While at the same time, it would introduce the game to a fresh audience, enticing them with improved graphics and gameplay, and allowing them to delve into the rich lore of the Fallout universe. It’s a win-win situation so far.
A remaster of Fallout Tactics would provide an opportunity to expand the game's lore and storytelling, as well as to restore LOTS of cut content that made the story better. Bethesda could delve deeper into the backgrounds of factions, characters, and locations, creating a more immersive narrative experience.
Enhanced graphics would play a vital role in revitalizing the game. Modern technology allows for stunning visual fidelity, creating a more immersive and visually captivating wasteland. The updated aesthetics would breathe new life into the game's environments, characters, and weapons, making the experience more engaging and appealing to a wider audience.
And from a business perspective, remaking or remastering Fallout Tactics could be a VERY profitable move for Bethesda. The game already has an existing fanbase very eager for an updated version, ensuring a strong initial demand. Additionally, attracting new players through modernization and compatibility with current platforms would expand the potential market and generate increased sales and revenue.
Remaking/remastering Fallout Tactics to meet up-to-date standards would cater to the interests of both new and older fans. The expanded lore, enhanced graphics, and increased profitability make it a compelling proposition for Bethesda to undertake. Bethesda has the power to remake a literally 20-year-old game, Bethesda pls.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that loves these characters.
In the superstar Saga Remake I absolutely loved them on Minions Quest. Each one of them had unique personalities and they all had distinct outfits compared to the rest of the minions.
Private Goomp being overconfident and so full of himself, while at the same time kinda dumb at times was a riot.
I like how the designs are distinct yet simple at the same time. Sergeant Guy being my personal favorite.
I was alittle disappointed that we never got to properly fight them in BIS, but I liked how they actually tricked Bowser and got the upperhand against him. I also recently just got to a certain point in Dream Team, and I was thrilled.
There fight as of right now is easily the best one in dream team imo. That might change as I go through completing the game tho.
It was surprisingly tough as they had so many different attacks, and I love the teamwork mechanic they utilized. I especially love how naive and scared Private Goomp gets during one of the attacks.
I know this is a pipedream but I wouldn't mind having these guys show up in the paper mario series, or even the mainline Mario games down the line.
I know other characters like Fawful get more attention, so that's why I wanted to post about the Elite Trio.
