By the sweet gods above, networking is a nightmare
I have sent so many emails, made so many calls, visited so many music stores this better work out for me cause if I put in all this effort only to get no bandmates that would be mighty unfortunate
I cast a spell of luck upon you!
you can do it, my dear Carsorino!
oh, also, although we aren’t exactly in a worldbuilding phase right now, I do have an idea for the Gods Must be Crazy. It isn’t particularly relevant to where the plot is now, but I thought it’d be cool.
Pray tell, what is it?
So basically, you know how the South Pole is a giant tundra corrupted by the mirror world? Well, I was thinking, what if it was rich in some resource, particularly, a fuel source that leaks out of the Mirror world. That fuel source has started almost an entirely new revolution in one of the nations who are starting to use that fuel source, and they have a very ambitious project to use that fuel source: they are going to make the world’s first trains. At the time we start, they are only just in the planning phase, but they can basically revolutionize travel (possibly to and from the Steam Belt) via trains.
one problem, that fuel source, when burned for, Y’know, fuel, lets the mirror world influence and warp the world around it.
they are building a monstrous mega pollution demon train, and they don’t know it.
Oh my, very dark fantasy, it's perfect!
Any thoughts or ideas to add onto it?
It seems that any kind of movement like that would spawn some sort of counter-movement, like a hippie kinda thing, druids and rangers and stuff getting back to the primal roots of magic in opposition to the mega demon pollution industrialist mages
Ooh, yeah. The people who live on the outer regions of the tundra don’t want people coming in to harvest this giant fuel, because it’s bad for nature the entire world.
once it’s built, I think it’d be cool if eventually, the people who work on the trains become are corrupted and possessed, and demons start to form out of the smoke, like imp type creatures.
It would be pretty sick if the trains themselves slowly became horrible eldritch flesh prisons for the conductors trapped forever within screaming masses of twisted demonic steel and sinew
Oh gods that sounds terrifying
sixteen tons of scurrying death, smolderin’ souls through a funnel of red
eventually, the conductor’s lungs are so filled with the demon smoke, and their body is so warped by the mirror world, that the train has no more use for them. It swallows them up and burns them and their souls as fuel. They don’t die, they simply become part of the machine as their hopes and dreams are funneled out with the smoke. Their screams become the train’s horn, and they are left to suffer, constantly burning in the hot fire of the engine. Until the engine stops, they are never free. And if the devils on the train have anything to say about it, they will never stop.
This is terrifying and beautiful and it fits the world perfectly
Oh god, this is actually so terrifying.
lets hope our characters can stop it from being built…
Unless I’m the DM, then it’s the opposite, this is so evil and I wanna use it.
This idea will keep me up at night. Thanks
Same
we are totally gonna incorporate this. Remember those Flesh Machine things Gulp made? What if they’re connected to those?
I looked at the Lore Glossary. They’re called ‘The Steaming Menace’ under ‘’monsters of the realm”
Oh yeah, I like that! The Steaming Menace is a single creature made of broken, cursed metal that wanders the lands in search of flesh to eat, souls to devour, and pieces to add to its body. It searches for bodies to add to itself, hoping that one day, it will have a true form of flesh and blood. It could definitely be connected to the train.

Hundreds of years ago a hero of old slew a BBEG and then went missing. It turns out what happened is that they stabbed themselves and had a group of dedicated priests cast gentle repose on their corpse all these years in order to keep them preserved for the next great tribulation.
You now need to find this secretive place and call upon them for aid.
Or of course it could be the BBEG did this to themself and their cult is just biding its time for the moment to strike.

Fair enough.
As for changing username, up to you though I will say I also think there's something to be said for consistency. (Just my opinion.)

Combine gentle repose and revivify.
Hundreds of years ago a hero of old slew a BBEG and then went missing. It turns out what happened is that they stabbed themselves and had a group of dedicated priests cast gentle repose on their corpse all these years in order to keep them preserved for the next great tribulation.
