So I had this idea: a campaign where the players are all diminished (ie. shadow or undead) versions of mythic heroes of the past, complete with them each having a custom scaling magic item. Think like if the Chosen Undead of Dark Souls or the Tarnished in Elden Ring were a hero in ages past, and still had some of their gear.
I was also thinking that it would take place in the Shadowfell, and that in addition to the magic items they would be able to upgrade their bodies by adapting to the hostile environment at the cost of becoming more like the monsters they fight.
That sounds great! Would you use the Ravenloft setting or just homebrew the Shadowfell?
Both, and also using Ulraunt's Guide to the Shadowfell, which is basically a compilation of Shadowfell and Ravenloft lore from older editions combined with some new stuff, all updated to 5e and made usable.
Notably, it was made to go with a book that allows players to go up to level 30, so there are some seriously OP monsters and such in there. Like, over CR 30. They even have deitic enemies like Vecna, Kas, Dendar, Shar, Jergal, and Mask.

Mask is a cool deity. Can non-evil rogues worship them?

I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft, Exandria and the Upside Down from Stranger Things. My pronouns are she/they (genderfae).
IVE BEEN ALONE SO LONG IVE STARTED GROWING A BEARD
Lemme stroke it.

Little tip for your first beard: Shave it until it starts to be on your chin and is a bit fuller. Trust me, because I know from experience, a wispy beard that's more towards the neck does not look good. You will cringe every time you see a picture of what it used to look like.
Tiny mustaches are fine. But you want to wait a while for the beard.
anyone wanna rp on universe canvas?
Thanks :)

We've met each other before. I was more active in LCW when you first joined the forums and I remember you used to have an AI art thing going.

oh yeah!
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
Makes me think of The Last Goodbye. (Song by the guy that played Pippin in LoTR.)
