I'm trying to make a candy-themed archfey, possibly some sort of architect. I wanted to come here to see if any of you have any cool ideas, 'cause you all are a lot, and I mean a lot of cool ideas.

May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.

An architect? Perhaps he traps people inside the walls? Maybe he bakes people into pies and such?
Any suggestions for my tavern?

That is an actual medieval method of torture/execution called Immurement.
I think your idea is great. Maybe the gargoyle uses the drinks to water plants, causing them to become animate nightmare effigies that function as servants?

Seriously? I did not know that
Thanks! The plant thing is a great idea, in keeping with the whole theme of sort of condensing nightmares. I’m kinda picturing them as anthropomorphic venus fly traps

Hags made houses out of candy to lure children to them... the Blasting Company has a song called Candy but it has nothing to do with candy... maybe he attempts to create things as wonderful to look at as they are to taste? Go into an in depth description of how delicious it is to see, translating detailed taste profiles into visual descriptions... plum pudding plumbing... towers of molasses.... Sammy Davis Jr.... imagine cavities that infect your eyes (shudder), you could have a real eldritch horror, Carcosa-esque thing there... chocolate snails with hard shells, gooey bodies, and thick trails of chocolaty syrup... sugar coated cathedrals... streets packed like a blood clot... Adventure Time Candy Kingdom... hummingbirds and butterflies might be naturally attracted to the place, feeding off the puddles from rainstorms that naturally soak in the surrounding sugar... all I have left is the memory of watching the local Amish creamery making hard candies.
That's all I got, just a bunch of random brainstorming.
I think I’ll get to work on the first draft of “Nightmare’s Claw.” Anyone want to be a mod?
I could! I might be able to come up with a cool character.
Great! Send me ideas and stuff. I think I’ll release the base thread, then edit and improve it as I go along
Alrighty! Now one question, is the tavern in like some sort of pocket or dream dimension, is it in the material, like just where is it basically?
another thing, could I play as one of the staff members? Not exactly sure yet, but maybe like an entertainer or something, I’ll think about it.
Haven’t honestly decided yet. Have to give it some thought. Whadda you think?
And sure, you get mod privileges right?
Maybe it’s like in an inter dimensional state between the real world and the dream world, and the further you go down in the lower floors and ✨basement✨ the stronger the weird dream magics get. Maybe if you go far enough down the tavern works almost like Limbo where you can change stuff with your thoughts? Just an idea.
Hey Dark! Question since you are super creative and stuff!
my main new character on the Lords rest, the Prince in Yellow, is trying to prevent the King in Yellow and Carcosa’s strange influence from seeping into the world, and it’s not 100% working, so some stuff should start happening, but what do you think should happen? I kinda wanted to play into the idea that the King is like an imaginary disease infecting artists and stuff, so I’m gonna kinda describe people like changing how they act and how things in the village are suddenly more grand and strange and that Symbol and that book are just suddenly everywhere, people start acting paranoid and stuff, and they keep seeing that thing following them home and they dream of black stars and and twin suns setting behind a lake, but I kinda need more ideas on how to show the effects of the King’s influence, if that isn’t already enough.
Hey Arch, I've been thinking about that Hag Coven thing we were working on. The idea of making the personification of night a character sounds super fun but also difficult because of how much material can be used. If they are a direct personification, they will probably be a more ethereal, incomprehensible force that interacts with people but is... a little out there.
The connection to a Coven of other day witches is really cool. Night will probably have a good connection to Dawn, but Noon would be her opposite and weakness.
I like the brewing dreams into drinks idea. It could lead to some very interesting encounters and interactions.
I am pretty sure Baalz made a tavern like this before called the Nightmare Hold.
Yeah, he did. Two iteration so far, with more to come next fall.

Eh, I’ve gotten mostly positive thoughts on it so far, and I’m confident that it’s different enough

Oh, yeah, this thread exists.

Coolio. Good luck with the idea.

It drowns people in syrup. Maple syrup.

Trying to brainstorm a name for it. I think I’ll go with “Nightmare’s Claw”

Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy... architecture... candy...
