"Finally someone to write my book in my stead. We can pull a Goethe, save I don't have to open my mouth to dictate."
A telepath falls in love with a writer.
The Greek god Apollo has fallen in love with you, remembering how his previous relationships went, he’s decided ask Zeus to make you a minor god so that you don’t bite the dust.
Roll a d20 to convince the devil that what you have done is in the best interest of hell, following a 20 years plan to harvest more souls by people being too comfortable that hell and the devil are not that bad, so in the end "I would never betray you dad, it's all for us, for you...for Hell and its thriving glory"
Being the Devil’s offspring means that you’re really good at persuasion. Things get awkward when the Devil finds out you’ve been using your power for good.
Some people shouldn't be given the power of the internet 😂😂😂
you absolute fucking monsters
So.... basically we're talking about a new D&D campaign with Boblin the Goblin and Joe Swashbuckler, right?
a superhero whose name is just. so dumb and self-explanatory. they’re called like ‘Knifegirl’ or something and everyone’s too busy laughing at their stupidass name to realize it has nothing to do w/ their actual powers, the villains are caught completely off guard
Don't know about humans, but it at least involves a mechanic????
WHAT
Excuse me, there is not *enough* garlic in this culinary world. I can understand the need for the pure and unadulterated taste of just *garlic*. (There's always gotta be a bit of peel left, why ya'll so sensitive?)
I stan.
Sometimes I just... put an entire bulb of garlic in the oven for awhile and eat the whole thing plain
I distinctly remember a show just about rich people wanting and making bunkers? I ain't sure, I ain't even American, but I swear there was such a thing on TV once.
You know, at this point I would be surprised (and a bit disappointed in American ingenuity and greed) if there *weren’t* secret bunkers for the rich and famous to hide in when the world implodes.
I mean, they can’t all go to space.

The villain is my favorite part of ANY campaign. So here I am gonna talk about how you can make different kinds of villains, honing down on a specific type and offering various ways to make them interesting. As always, we will be looking at real world history, culture, and mythology to make your villains seem realistic and specifically dastardly. For our first entry let’s discuss…
Why archfey? Two reasons: 1) I like archfey, they’re fuckin’ dicks. 2) Someone who’s name I can’t find asked me to make this and I am more than happy to make things for my followers.
NOW, let’s understand what an archfey really is.
An archfey is a creature of fey ancestry that is excessively powerful, nearing the power of a deity. Usually, such creatures are native to the Feywild. Within this realm, they command great power and can even shape the realm itself to their whim and whimsy.
Archfey doesn’t mean “superelf.” An archfey can be a pixie, a dryad, a ghost, a beast of some kind, anything that is classified as “fae” or “fae-like” can be turned into an archfey. Elf-like archfey are the most COMMON, but absolutely not the ONLY form of an archfey.
The other misconception is that the archfey are good. This is because the Feywild is mistaken as a plain of good, while Shadowfell is a plain of evil. This is wrong. Feywild and Shadowfell aren’t images of good and evil. Their are images of abundance vs lack of emotion. Shadowfell is a plain of the depressed, the emotionless, the broken. Feywild is a plain of the bipolar, the expressive, the artists and the madmen.
(I’m getting tired of saying “archfey”)
So to understand how we get an Archfey villain, lets discuss some general characteristics of the archfey.
Background.
The archfey come from the Feywild. This is a place governed by emotion. When its denizens feel something strongly, they can physically change their environment. A cruel witch will transform the forest around her to grow trees that bleed and produce fruits shaped like heads. While a kind princess will transform the fields around her into a gorgeous plain of crystalline flowers.
Now, the archfey can transform the Feywild at a moment’s notice. Which means they can do one or both of these things:
They can control their emotions very well.
They only ever have emotional extremes powerful enough to instantly alter the Feywild.
Lifestyle
The archfey live careless lives. They are too powerful to have any natural predators, as such live carefree and happy. Due to their extended life (they live like thousands of years), they are NEVER in rush. Why should they be? They’ve got time, ALL the time.
Environment
Based on HOW the Feywild is, how it is ever-shifting and changing, its denizens must learn to control this change to be able to thrive. Since we are working with an archfey, we can assume they’ve already thrived to the top of their food chain. As such, they must have learned to command the Feywild OR adapted to this changing world, having very drastic changes in personality, behavior, or even looks.
With all this information, let’s share some ideas for archfey villains.
Example #1: The Many Faced Man. Simply put, a doppelganger. The archfey are ever-changing. For this example, our villain always changes their looks. So your Party pisses off this archfey or in some way becomes enemies with him. So when your spends the night camping outside, whoever is keeping watch suddenly poof, is teleported away (because this is an Archfey, it can do this kind of shiz) and in steps a the Many Faced Man who takes this lost PCs form.
I urge you, IRL, pull the Player of this character aside and tell them your plan. Tell them that you want to replace them with a Doppelganger, but not to worry, because their PC will eventually be rescued. THEN, offer them to role play as a doppelganger pretending to be their character. Most players will have TONS of fun with this idea. If you player doesn’t want to RP a doppelganger offer them to role a new temporary PC or just dump the idea.
Example #2: Prince of Liars. A very powerful archfey this one is. He has immense power in the Feywild, and has managed to TRAP the Party in his domain. I’m stealing from Curse of Strahd here, but essentially rework that campaign with more fey-like themes. Instead of vampires, we got fey, instead of Strahd we got a spoiled brat of a prince who is all-powerful but only wants to mess with the Party before killing them in a cruel manner for his or her amusement.
For additional complexity, you can make the Prince of Liars have very drastic shifts of emotion. Think, the bad guy from Split (the movie). One moment he is nice to the Party and leads them to a place filled with treasure, the next he snaps into sheer brutal cruelty and slaughters the ranger’s companion. This will put the Party on edge when dealing with the guy. Furthermore, knowing that the archfey is powerful enough to destroy them with ease puts the Party on the edge, at least until they find something that can kill or neutralize this big bad.
Example #3: The Undying Court. This is for LARGE scale campaigns. Let’s say you have a game that is heavy on politics, but spans different dimensions. So the PCs are working with the politics between Mount Celestia and the 9 Hells and the Abyss, etc. That’s when you throw in the Undying Court. A hive-mind of several Archfey that operate as a singular entity and wish to expand their chaotic influence across the many plains. They may ally with Demon Lords and expedite chaotic situations to gain more power, so your PCs would have to negotiate a turbulent field of politics.
And that’s that folks. I hope this provides SOME use to y’all and helps you out with future ideas. Of course you don’t HAVE to follow my guideline 100%. You don’t need to follow it at all, in fact. Just take it as it is, my ideas for a good fey villain. What about you folks? Would you like to see breakdowns of other kinds of villains? I’d love to do more. Send your recommendations my way or share your ideas for villains. I’d love to hear it. Good luck everyone.

Feel this on a personal level 😂
Archmage, more like ‘the drow and their bad life choices’ (well, this isn’t even a spoiler, drow always take bad life choices!) BTW I just finished reading the book (Catti, aren’t you a little overpowered???) and I loved it! I cannot wait for the next one. Meanwhile, have this little comic about its ending, I laughed a lot at this scene! (I had problems with the backgrounds tho, gh…)

i had a dream about fucking… vampire discourse on tumblr like;
“reminder that blood sucker is a slur”
“vamp-born-vamps are valid if u got bitten later in life you’re not part of the vamp community”
“support vamps who drink human blood, support vamps who drink animal blood, support vamps who drink animal and human blood”
I stan this.

The mysterious, busy, philosophical Elijah Kamski! Or rather a trial 😭😭😭. Business man and troubled genius, please enjoy my shoot.
@not-poignant these are from a Russian comic (also translated in English: Demonslayer') but I feel like they bring a Davix vibe? I mean, if Davix and Olphix look like this, my life is complete 😍
God😂😂😂 'Sexy, naughty bitchy me'😂😂😂 why didn't I see that coming. Well, it's a joke not a d*ick, Davix shouldn't take it so hard....(someone kill me please 😭)
I think, post mortem, Davix's nickname should be; Davix 'Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy Me'
Just because of Davix and his nails :)))) and Olphix coming up with a plan :)))) @not-poignant your work is amazing, hope you like this humble offering of the Double Trouble Mages. Entitled "How it actually got started"
Help me prove a point
