Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.

ReplyDeleteIf I had sent something like that out, I would hope to be AT HOME when they come back, while wearing my Tim the Enchanter cap.
and nothing else
ReplyDeleteCasey Garske You're my hero for the next 3d10 turns.
ReplyDeleteI would wear my black DM robes, of course.
ReplyDeleteI just realized the return address is their local church, not a private residence. Good enough.
ReplyDeletegraph paper's a nice touch, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteI would put on my robe and wizard hat.
ReplyDeleteBut I confess it's a little troubling to me. I can't quite express why.
OK I think it's because they're going to feel that you're making fun of them, especially because "magic" is against their religion. I mean, that might not bother you, but I am just explaining why I feel the way I do. I never liked being made fun of. I am much less convinced that the leaders of these religious organizations are sincere than I am of the people doing the proselytizing.
ReplyDeleteI get it. If it's making fun of anything, it's proselytizing, not their religion. And I'm totally fine with making fun of proselytizing. If just the thought of D&D offends them, that's on them.
ReplyDeleteA fair point!
