Hey there! Does anyone else get ideas for campaigns or characters that might not be the Best Way to approach things? Cause I sure do. If you want to submit ideas to me, or if you want me to promo any content you've made, feel free to ask!

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Midnight Oil
Wondrous item, uncommon ___

This iridescent pitcher carries 8 ounces of magic oil, which looks like a starry night sky. You can use an action to pour out 1 or more ounces of the oil on the ground at your feet. Choose a point on the ground within 5 feet of you. The oil creates a sphere of darkness centered on that point. This darkness duplicates the effect of the "darkness" spell (no concentration required). The effect remains for a number of rounds equal to the number of ounces poured from the pitcher, ending at the end of your turn on the round that it would end. It ends early if any target within the darkness takes fire damage. In addition, the magical darkness is serenely focusing: creatures within the darkness have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to maintain concentration. ___

completely unrelated side note: DMs of the world please add more weirdo NPCs that will buy monster parts from the players into your games, it feels wasteful to just leave entire corpses behind

I do wanna say, before anyone misinterprets, I personally do this and it’s a callout for myself due to everything I put my dms through

It warms my heart seeing people talking about their grisly harvests in the comments though

Some of the tags and replies on this post make me sad, so I’m here again to help!

While you don’t need a mechanical reason for doing anything, being rewarded for your grim harvests feels nice, doesn’t it? So how about picking up this delightful trio of feats:

  • Harvest Parts, which lets you strip useful bits off of fallen monsters and use them as material to craft your various items, from mundane goods to magic items (I recommend Craft Wondrous Item, which opens the most broad category up to you).
  • Grisly Ornament, which lets you craft temporary magic items from slain foes that bolster specific stats when used against monsters of the same creature type.
  • And finally Monstrous Crafter, which lets you fuse your Grisly Ornaments into existing items to make them last forever, but only usable 1/day.

Those last two should be especially fun for people into Monster Hunter, since it basically lets you live out the fantasy of decking out your armor and weapons with the pieces of creatures you’ve killed! Harvest Parts is, technically, the most generally useful of the three, as it’s just a flat sort of ‘bank’ you can use in place of your own gp when crafting anything.

Going to add yet again that Necrocrafting is a thing to make DIY undead out of people or monster parts, so you could make it a walking trophy rack if you can’t think of anything better to do!

I got some really sweet and encouraging messages about it being okay that I still need to ask our tumblr community for help. I really appreciate that because this is my only option at the moment. Disability tells me that it will be at least 2 months before they reach a decision on my worthiness of survival, and all of my bills are due… now. I have $9.11 in my account atm.

Here is a breakdown of exactly what I need help with in order of importance. If you’d like to see proof before donating or reblogging, lmk and I’ll send you some screenshots of the bills!

$80 due 11/30: Membership fee for my DPC doctor $117 due 11/30: Car insurance $104 due 11/29: Storage unit $455 due 12/01: Car payment ——— $756 total (unless Tyrell can still pay the car payment, in which case only $301 total! Any extra donations will go toward next month’s round of bills.)

THANK YOU & I love you & I will find some way to repay this community someday.

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

Heads up that this is a very extensive questionnaire and might be daunting to a lot of writers (myself included). That being said, it is also an amazing questionnaire and I will definitely be using it (or at the very least, some of it).
