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.
And then right after that the goddamn Mamluks hit us right in the Ayn Jalut.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if you do some of the really advanced Buddhist-Tantric or Hermetic practices for unlocking memory, you start to remember 'past lives'. Regardless of whether or not you believe these are a real thing, if you do these practices you end up having the effect of absolutely feeling the same way about your memories of the 1880s or the 1540s or Song China or whatever as you do about distant childhood memories. It's trippy.
