Got an idea for a Cursed Technique (might be too strong, not sure yet, need an outside opinion) for when the JJK thread comes back around, anybody want to hear?
Not much, really. Although I have been working on a deity for one of my characters. The god is based off of John Barleycorn.
one more, less exciting thing that happened recently is that last night I had… sort of just a nervous breakdown, due to a few things that happened earlier that day.
John Barleycorn is really cool. You been watching Curious Archives?
I'm so sorry, man. That sounds awful. I'll be praying for you.
Indeed I have, and I named them the Barley King after John Barleycorn. The character I made who worships them is named Enid Spiritmalt. The Barley king appears once every thirteen or so years in the form of a lamb, which is then sacrificed to ensure that the world’s crops continue to grow.
and thank you :>
Sounds pretty sweet. I love the John Barleycorn song. Why does our friend Enid follow the Barley King?
She was born into a family that was quite influential in the cult of the Barley king, the Spiritmalts, so she’s had to follow in the footsteps of her parents, both of which were important priests, and the head of the cult, the Harvest Prophet, foretold that she’d eventually be tasked with sacrificing the Barley King, which, according to the Cult’s beliefs, is what ensures that crops continue to grow. I’m still workshopping her, but I’ve introed her on the Lord’s rest, which is where it is predicted the Barley King is supposed to appear next autumn.
That's really cool. I can think of another autumn related thread that the Barley King might fit in. It's dead now, but it's also winter. When fall comes round again...
I actually originally intended for her to be on the Autumn Country, but, as you know, I missed that thread due to the glitch.
Yeah that really stunk. I'm hoping to resurrect it sometime. Next fall would be thematically appropriate but it's also a long ways away. I'll also probably just have moved to Scotland so I don't know how often I'll be able to be online.
My mom is about to call, and we're excited for it.
Also, I'm making a transhumanist summoner artificer/wizard and I have no idea what to do with the backstory. I want them to be a relatively stable individual, at least for an adventurer.
He was an apprentice of Halister Blackcloak, the Mad Mage of Undermountain, and wants to take the Dungeon of the Mad Mage for his own purposes. He's willing to give up any treasure or loot along the way as long as he gets the dungeon for himself.
sorry i've been really inactive, rehearsals have been more draining as we near opening night and I'm working on a few pet projects of mine. Yes, the story about the victorian thing, but also a cyber pop star drag king dude

He's not a story, he's a persona. Would you like to meet him?

That's really great.
Being stable and being a former apprentice to the Mad Mage himself would be difficult. Makes me think of Steerpike from Titus Groan. A sane person (at least in comparison) in a castle full of mad men who is using the advantage of his mental soundness to advance his position.

That's a good idea, actually. Maybe he's a good person at heart, but his unyielding hatred of Blackcloak and desire for power leads him down darker avenues. Kind and gentle, but acts more like Steerpike as he needs to.
I had the idea that he might want to use the Dungeon as a factory or food source or something like that. Maybe even both! But what I know is that he needs to have plans for the place.
What I need is an origin for him. How did he end up apprenticing? How was he raised? What was he before he modded himself to heck?

I don't know a lot about the dungeon of the mad mage but a sort of factory sounds pretty cool. Turning a place of hoarded wealth into productive output makes sense.
Maybe he didn't start out as an apprentice but as a slave or prisoner. After he impressed Blackcloak he was taken in as an apprentice. Or maybe he was a sort of guinea pig test subject for Blackcloak who modded him. Or maybe he offered to serve Blackcloak so that his family would be spared. But he later found out they weren't.
I talked a bit with my DM, and we had an idea: He wasn't even the apprentice. He was emotional support for the apprentice.
He was the servant of a noblewoman who wanted to learn from the "best." Specifically, he was her most trusted (though not necessarily best) cook, as she refused to eat anything that wasn't properly prepared. He had a specialty in fermenting, so pickles and booze were always on the menu. After Halaster grew tired of his victuals, he challenged him to a game of Ninepin, and when the cook began to win, the Mad Mage shoved the man's arm into the ball receptacle where it was brutally torn off.
The noblewoman, distraught that her beloved servant was injured, crafted him a prosthetic arm. He loved it so much that, amazed at what she knew, he began to eavesdrop on her lessons, picking up bits and pieces. He began to upgrade and alter his body more and more, becoming the being now known as the Hunger Mage. The One Who Pickles Steel.
After the noblewoman disappeared, the zymurgist was kicked out. He swore that he would come back and find out what happened to her. And since then he's been studying magic, and he learned all about dungeons and Undermountain. And he decided that one day, he would own a dungeon. And not just any dungeon...

Anytime. I'm always open to brainstorm.
I really like that. Especially the One Who Pickles Steel bit.
After watching the greatest showman again, I feel like making a bard that’s an opera singer.
Looks like I’m here, I don’t know why, but I am here if anyone cares.
