Why should rogues and druids get all the secret talking fun? I decided to give all the classes a secret language of their own. #dungeonsanddragons #pathfinder2e

@ArtistNcs The dice when I want to do something cool:

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@sys_crash This looks really cool, how did you make it? I'm planning to run a sci fi campaign soon and I'd love to be able to make a good map for it.

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@piderman19 Hell yeah, Amalgam representation!

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@circusmantis My first was the Razor. Best princess imo, and a wild way to start things off

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@domadordedinoss Like insect mandibles, or moray eel-style pharyngeal jaws?

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@Alter2220066 Animalocaris and opabina

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@roguecaliber When I start a new campaign it's usually built on ideas I had during the last one, so... years?

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@SpicyEncounters Smaller than that too, you're killing every single cell organism in the area. Maybe a few extremophile bacteria or germs on the far side from the blast would survive a fireball, but harm scours the area as barren as the surface of the moon.

But you then run into what I think is a big problem:

How Do You Explain How The World Works Without Rehashing The Shitty Lore I Just Wrote?

If the world works like X because of Y lore reason, the natural cours of action is to explain Y.

DON'T EXPLAIN Y.

@BeardedHalfling Your fire shifts and changes, rewriting its own rules. For 1 minute, fire you create does not burn wood, cloth, or other normally flammable materials; instead it burns stone and metal.

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@NSeanchai Oh that's great! Love it when magic/creatures have restrictions they didn't even realize where they originated, they take on entirely new aspects or abilities when introduced to a new environment

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@CzepekuScifi Crashed spaceship in a fungal forest!

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@Role_Play_Chat Depends on the type of enemy. Some ignore them, some try to confirm a kill, some explicitly leave them dying to take up the party's actions on healing instead of fighting, some will ignore actual dangers to eat them, and some will threaten them to try and force a surrender

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

@czepeku My game world... sort of did! There was an aspidochelone more like a crustacean than a turtle, but it was very big and island-like and after my players saved it, they got free skill feats from its ancient knowledge and one of them took it as his warlock patron

A few different places that I've sourced inspiration for biomech/creature designs. Basically, you can turn most things into a mech or creature dsign if you understand the material properties of the subject. It's really all about texture.

[Johnny O'Neal @johnny0neal]

I should really be prepping for Gen Con, but I can't resist posting some more Stormlight RPG art!

While many of the novels' protagonists are Alethi, our team set out to portray people from around the world, as you can see in "Cultures of Roshar" by Deandra Scicluna (@dealunart).

@SpicyEncounters My party would second this considering how their run-in with one went

(plus the fact that they can squeeze through Medium sized spaces makes for some horrifically claustrophobic chase scenes)

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

Just realized the individual themes/aesthetics for my BBEG can tie into the overall themes of the campaign. Oh yeah, it's all coming together

[Nine Foot Pole @NineFootPole]

It's Pole, one of my favorite NPCs I've written! Be sure to check out the full book and add some fishing to your dungeon crawling
