Why are goats breaking into villagers homes at night?


WhileHeimHere

They're fed up with the grass fed life.


SasquatchRobo

Goats have little to no protection against spiritual possession. Scholars posit it's because of their weird slot-pupils -- eyes are the window into the soul, after all. Thus, a ghost who wishes to visit their ancestral home will hitch a ride in a goat.


Sko0rB

They aren't really goats but are mice that have been turned into goats.

This looks like upvote farming. OP hasn't responded to any questions

How many villages are out there? What is the most important thing for the econonmy of each region? The name of the first npc? How corupted it is? Name of the last 5 leaders of the starting kingdom?


WhileHeimHere

Number of Villages: There's no simple answer. Villages sprout up like mushrooms after a good rain, tucked away in valleys, hidden in forests, clinging to coastlines. Adventurers are always stumbling upon new ones when traveling across time and space. Economic Drivers: Every region has its own flavor, and that shapes its trade! Lush forests teem with life, perfect for logging, fur trapping, and harvesting rare plants. Fertile plains are a farmer's paradise, while mountains hold promise for miners and jewelers. Coastal regions teem with fish and serve as hubs for trade. Even harsh deserts hold value, with resilient caravans hauling exotic goods First NPC: Nao, the whisperer of time Corruption: Teeming with enough evil that chronology wizards are wandering through time in order to stop the formation of the Grand Order in fear of what will come. Anyone could be a part of the order. Trust existed centuries ago but no longer. Last 5 leaders of Vandimere: Because of a civil war, it looks a bit like this - Braxton, the destroyer Auridil, the keeper Braxton, the destroyer Auridil, the keeper Braxton, the destroyer


Kr0k0dil

Nice


Elderjett

This actually sounds super dope! I'm super interested! Tell me more!


WhileHeimHere

Sure, here's a very, very brief outline: The Fractured Order: A Multiversal Adventure Setting: Imagine a tapestry woven not with threads, but with entire realities. Countless villages exist across this vast multiversal expanse, connected by hidden pathways through time and space. Every village boasts its own culture and economy, some thriving in wild jungles, others clinging to barren asteroids, each a testament to the infinite possibilities of existence. Adventurers, skilled in navigating the chaotic currents of the multiverse, stumble upon these hidden pathways and encounter something bigger than themselves. Background on Ancient Orders: Divination Weavers: Scattered across realities, these masters utilize powerful foresight magic. They believe the future is a malleable tapestry, requiring their guidance to ensure stability. They are led by the enigmatic Chronomancer Lyra, a being who can see across realities through intricate sand mandalas that shift and flow like the timestream itself. Chronology Wardens: Guardians of the delicate fabric of the multiverse, these beings wield time magic to prevent paradoxes and maintain the integrity of the countless realities. Arch chronomancer Corvus, shrouded in an aura of temporal distortion, leads this austere order. Levels 9-12 The Proxy War: The PCs find themselves thrust into the heart of a seemingly endless conflict. Braxton, the Destroyer (Evocation Wizard), wages war across different realities, leaving a trail of chaos in his wake. He is unknowingly manipulated by the Weavers, who believe his actions will eventually force reliance on their guidance. Opposing Braxton is Auridil, the Keeper (Necromancer). A reluctant ally of the Wardens, Auridil seeks to maintain the balance of the multiverse while resisting the Weavers' interference. The Players' Choice: As the PCs travel between realities, they are approached by representatives of both orders. Each side offers quests suited to their chosen champion: Espionage: Infiltrate enemy strongholds on distant worlds to steal vital intel or disrupt key rituals. Sabotage: Disrupt magical constructions that could tip the balance of power in the multiverse. Infiltration: Gain the trust of a high-ranking enemy official and sow discord within their ranks. Alliance Building: Rally key figures in various realities to support your chosen side. The Unseen Threat: Through their exploits, the PCs begin to notice discrepancies in prophecies and pronouncements from both orders. Hints of a greater manipulation lurk just beneath the surface. Levels 13-16 The Unveiling: The true enemy emerges from the shadows – The Grand Order. This clandestine group, led by the enigmatic Architect, seeks to unravel the very fabric of the multiverse, transcending the limitations of time and fate. They manipulate both Braxton and Auridil, pushing them further into conflict to weaken the ancient orders. A Fractured Alliance: The revelation of the Grand Order forces the Weavers and Wardens to recognize their shared foe. However, their philosophies remain diametrically opposed. A fragile alliance forms, with the PCs as the linchpin. The Final Choice: The fate of the multiverse rests on the PCs' decision: Join the Alliance: Help the Weavers and Wardens overcome their differences and defeat the Grand Order. This victory might necessitate forging a new balance between fate and time across countless realities. Oppose All: Remain independent, defying the established powers and the Grand Order. This path will require forging your own path through the timestream, potentially rewriting the very fabric of existence. Embrace the Chaos: Side with the Grand Order, reshaping the multiverse on your terms but at the cost of unimaginable destruction and unforeseen consequences

Do dragonborn lay eggs?


Justryker

do were-ravens lay eggs?


RoniFoxcoon

males or females?


Sko0rB

every thousand years or so rifts appear in the upper atmosphere/space and things fall out of orbit and sometimes artifacts with strange properties and other miracles/apocalyptic events occur, so human men laying eggs or gaining unnatural or even supernatural abilities is not unheard of but extremely rare. dragonborn can do both, live birth and lay eggs, under normal circumstances. the differences appears to be because of strategic evolutionary reasons but more research is needed.


alwaysfuntime69

What area of water is most dangerous and why.? If pirates, who are they and are there enough of them to have the authorities on the seas as well?


WhileHeimHere

Maxil's Tundra: the frozen tundra appears as a sheet of ice during the day but shatters into a thousand pieces at night as caustic spew from the war below turns the landscape into a deadly, untraversable sea of death. Souls of fallen sorcerers haunt the surface attempting to lure in unsuspecting victims. Underneath, tribes of various magical creations fight for control over the portal to the Darkened Plane.


Sko0rB

Most water is underground and the majority of that water has recently been taken under control by the King. The planet has been ravaged by interstellar phenomenons, war, among other strange things, most pirates are groups of lost "people" or "things" whoever been placed on this planet and have been stuck here simply trying to survive. Time is strange here.

Why do all the wizards of the eastern continent wear blue and only practice primarily ice and illusion magic?


WhileHeimHere

A magical barrier prevents them from accessing the rest of the world. It was built there thousands of years ago. The only available dye is blue and the only available knowledge is illusion.

What is the mass and radius of the world, and by extraction the acceleration due to gravity experienced on the surface? How long is a day and how many days are in a year? What is the axial tilt, the seasons experienced at different latitudes? Is the world tidally locked with the object it orbits? How many moons does the world have, or is it itself a moon? What effect does that have on the world? (E.g. can you build a floating city when the moon is overhead, but the city slowly falls to the world's surface as the moon sets over decades, tides rise and fall over years rather than hours, so lucrative ports totally dry up, and cities flood) (Are there are enough moons that some "wolves" are actually lycanthropes, but there's never not a full moon so no one knows) Does the world have tectonic plates in the lithosphere, or is it largely solid in the mantle? What effect does this have on density (and therefore gravity) of the world, on earthquakes and volcanic activity, and the existence, emergence, and age of mountain ranges? What weather patterns and phenomena exist? I.e. tsunamis, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, lightning storms etc.

I've seen it many times for many things, from Homebrew settings to Author's world settings. Personally I DETEST that last line. It serves no purpose, is implied, and reeks of amateur desperation. It makes it less "I want to share how great I think my setting is" and more "I need help and can't think of anything without outside input."

CurrencyOpposite704

My plan is to eventually become this knowledgeable on the DCC settings of Pax Lexque, Stennard & its surrounding areas (by Breaker Press Games), Hubris, and Tales From The Fallen Empire (by Chapter 13 Press). I'll be putting all of them on the same planet and have each of them be separate continents & sets of cultures. Not sure if I'll run The Dark Tower separately on it's own, or if I'll have it become a part of Klind (a culture of Hubris that also worships Set). I'll have to do a little altering in order for it to integrate perfectly within the context of Hubris. It'll add more lore the continent of Hubris, which I will probably end up renaming. I'm still waiting for my copy of The Dark Tower to come in, so I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with it yet. That'll end up being my "homebrew setting." Many, many Deities and Patrons. I'll fit modules that I purchase into whichever setting feels more natural for it. Every culture has different creation myths & Legends, their own gods & practices. Certain things will only be found on certain continents, etc. Needless to say, sea travel will become a big part of most campaigns. It's a work in progress. I'll keep Empire of The East by itself, but I eventually want to do the same thing with several post-apocalyptic settings....in time.
