I’m trying to find or come up with urban legend type creatures/characters to introduce to my players, similar to the Bagman from Van Richten’s Guide To Ravenloft. I want to be able to mention a story of something that might exist out in the world, that might cause just a little bit of worry and fear in my players, and then after a persistent string of references back to it it appears. It does not have to be, but it could be something that they would have to specifically opt into, the way you can summon the Bagman by whispering “Follow my voice!” three times into an extradimensional space. If you know of any or have made any ideas for legends, creatures, or characters like this please leave them down below, and thank you in advance!

For the first time in as far back as I can remember, I have 1 or 2 friends who I trust enough to ask for emotional support. I am feeling pretty bad right now, and I’ve recognized that I need to ask them for help. But then I realized that I don’t actually know what them helping me and providing emotional support would actually look like? And I’m not sure how to ask for emotional support from them, when I don’t know what I could ask them to do that would help me. Don’t worry, when I do ask them I’m gonna make sure they’re in a good head space and willing to help first, so I don’t trauma dump on them or anything! I just…don’t know what to ask them for specifically.

Could all of you please tell me what it looks like to have your friends emotionally support you? What specifically do they do to make you feel comforted, and loved, and safe? Thank you in advance
