"From the stars of the inner sea, from the tower of insight, from the four corners of paradise, let them know; their story is filled with blessings. Only those free of sin may pass... Garden of Avalon!”
”The elements coalesce, amalgamate, and bring forth the star that interweaves all creation. Bow down with death! Enuma Elish!”
Thread Idea, partially inspired by the Smorgasboard and a tiny bit by the DAO:
In this world, there are a variety of things that should not be-- eldritch and demonic horrors whose very presence disrupt reality. Mortals cower before them, for each one's powers allow them to slaughter an entire village with ease. We call these creatures Unholy Beings.
Long ago, a cult was formed for these foul beings, hiding away in a stronghold. They prepared a ritual to summon the creatures in mass, which alerted the gods themselves. The heavens sent down their finest soldiers to stop this cult, but it was too late. The summoning circle was made, and it summoned an army of Unholy Beings. Bound in service to the cult, they went into battle. However, they were not able to match the heaven's strength, plotting, and unity. The entirety of the cult was purged, utterly slaughtered and sent to hell. However, if the creatures were killed, they would just return back to their home plane. So, the heavens made the cult's stronghold into a seemingly infinite demiplane where none can die. If they do meet an end, they only are in a void for a bit before they reappear at the center of the world. Additionally, the summoning circle was never deactivated, meaning every now and then, a new Unholy Being is summoned into the trap. You are an Unholy Being, stuck in this demiplane for eternity with all of the others. And it seems that there is no way out.
(Note: Very early work, things are very much subject to change. Also, like the DAO, every Unholy Being has some unique power and form that nobody else has, plus a sigil on the summoning circle that matches them and their powers. Also, not planning on releasing this until at least after notifications are back. What do y'all think?)

Hello! I am a perfectly sane gibberer. Hi! :D
Locations are dead, the Temple of Potassium has fallen but its ideals live on
Sounds pretty interesting. It definitely lends itself to evil characters which you should take into consideration. I would also be worried about things to do. Most characters have some sort of goal or desire. Being trapped in a demiplane makes it a little more difficult to have an achievable goal except maybe escape but if they accomplish that then the game is over. Also what would the landscape of the prison dimension look like? Atmosphere is a big part of these sort of things.

I agree with everything Dark says.

Correct, and I am fully ok with that. DDB doesn't get much evil taverns so it'll be interesting, and it's not like anybody can permanently kill other people.

Hmmmm, good point. I was thinking that they kinda just make the demiplane their own sick demented place, since escape is impossible. They can manipulate reality (although not on the same scale as a god from the Smorgasboard or anything like that), so they can set up stuff. But besides that, it could get boring, so I'll think about it.

Probably similar to the cult's original stronghold (stone fortress, abandoned rituals and tomes here and there, etc), except with a changed layout and twisted over time as the Unholy Beings morph it as they desire.

House of Cato was almost entirely evil characters, and I don't remember that posing too many issues there

Yeah, Cato's is the only evil themed tavern I know, and nothing got out of hand that I remember.

Understandable. Less of a problem for the DM, but still a problem for the character.

I want to run a proper Bloodborne Style D&D campaign now. I’ve already gotten a concept for the opening sessions.
I would join.
I lack a DDB subscription, however.
I also do not have any books on DDB. I have most of them in physical though.
