Anyone have any challenges, mods or something else to spice up their games? I have played difficult dark fog, I've made several Dyson spheres and I want to try something new that isn't just make the game really hard.
No point hiding this, if my players read this they'll know exactly who this is.
The party defeated some Archdukes in Hell and now have to stand trial. They hired a Devil lawyer who offered to do it in exchange for an eye from each of them. He has an eldritch suitcase that I described as being fleshy and covered in eyeballs. He took an eye from each of them, made a better copy of each eye that can see darkvision and invisible creatures, and he dropped the taken eyes into the abyss that is the inside of the suitcase "mouth". A few moments later their eyes appeared on the outside of the suitcase. I'd like some ideas on the origin of the suitcase, what it is, and what kind of abilities it has and what it does with the hundreds of eyes on the outside of it.
Before the 13th crusade, the blackstone pylons(?) on the planets near the Eye of Terror were keeping it in place and not expanding. Couldn't the Imperium just find one of these and put it under the palace to seal off the warp hole there. Then it would take the strain of the Emporer and at the every least protect Terra if the Emporer loses control of the Throne or dies.
The Imperium knows about the anti-warp abilities of Blackstone, and at least Guilliman knows about the warp hole under the palace doesn't he?
Edit: Yes I am aware the anti-psker pylon is not good to put near the psker Emperor, or the throne, or anything else in there. I just assumed they'd have a better plan on where to use and how than just drop it in the Emperor's lap.
From what I can tell, the Emporer planned for Humanity to rule after the wars were all finished, and He fully expected that transition to cause some of his sons to rebel and have to be put down. But assuming that there was no Horus Heresy and the Primarchs all remained loyal and accepted that new reality, what would they have done? Were there any plans for what they were supposed to do, or just to be executed? Finally, Magnus was the only one I've heard that had a job afterwards, of sitting on the Golden Throne. But wouldn't that basically be a horrible existence of never being able to leave the throne or the Astronomicon would go out, just like now with the Big E? If the Emperor told them of his plans for after the wars, wouldn't Magnus be the only one to rebel because of his terrible future?
Hello! I hope it's ok to post this here, but I want to run a Viking/Norse Dnd campaign for some friends about traveling to Yggdrasil. I'd like some words/phrases to add in for some immersion. General words like Skál, Takk, fantasy words like Draugr, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry if this is for only serious learners and I'm intruding.
I want to add a bunch of words and phrases NPCs can say to add immersion, world-building? I'm planning a campaign where the players are kind of a viking/Norse setting and travelling to Yggdrasil. Any Old Norse or Icelandic words like Draugr, Skal, etc. would be very appreciated!
I'm building a homebrew campaign that will be heavily Norse Mythology inspired (and inspired by God of War) but set in the Forgotten Realms about the party climbing Yggdrasil the World Tree in search of a magical artifact.
​
My plan is to have the party meet in a tavern and are hired to recover a magical artifact that is located somewhere on the World Tree. They'll have to start at either by climbing onto the upper branches at Ysgard or get past Nidhogg and begin climbing the roots in Hades. Then I'll intersperse climbing the tree with having to enter portals on the branches to various mini locations across the Planes, as well as climbing the Infinite Staircase.
​
I'd like ideas about enemies, creatures, and items that might be interesting. Has anyone run a similar campaign and have tips? Also does anyone have any material or tips about running a Norse themed campaign?
​
Incredibly grateful to anyone who has any advice!
What do you think was the gameplay objective/goal the devs were going for with the fuel crisis? To ad some narrative, just to add artificial difficulty, or something else?
I often find that when I'm with someone who doesn't share my hobbies/interests, I struggle to come up with something to talk about. I have a lot to say about the topics I know well, but I don't want everything to be about me and one-sided. I also don't want the conversation to turn into an interview where I desperately grill them for topics to talk about.
​
Any suggestions on how to find topics to talk about that have a high chance of being a good conversation starter?

I want to go out and meet people and make friends. But I spend all my time online and just sort of lost the ability to meet any new people spontaneously. All the people I ask say to just... go outside and you'll make friends but... where and how? I'm an introvert who sucks with small talk, isn't interested in sports, and doesn't have a pet to pull in "they're so cute, what's their name?" people. Anyone have any advice on building social skills, I have no problem with talking to people in business settings or for specific purposes but not in casual way and I need to improve it.
If we can somehow liberate and hold 8 more planets, the Automatons can be bottlenecked to only three planets. (Obviously we'll never get it done, but interesting to see).
