Anyone ever import Twin Peaks mythologies into their games? I'm actually planning on introducing Garmonbozia ("pain and sorrow" in the words of the Twin Peaks extra planar entities, that looks like and may well be creamed corn) as a sort of substance, basically a byproduct of torturned or broken souls, handled and sometimes consumed by varied undead and fiends as a currency and a sustenance.
Just floating the though out there, also recommending checking out Twin Peaks for folks looking for ways to make their Far Realms or even darker parts of their Feywilds and Shadowfells weird to a whole new level. The actual shows and movies aren't for everyone, but the various wikis and supporting books out there are pretty easy to follow and are almost ready made lore for anyone's game with a flexible cosmology where things are left vague and not fully understandable by mortals.

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
Something I would love to do later down the line, probably when I'm ready to start a campaign with another setting, is have a fiendish dimension based on the Red Room.

I was going to suggest homebrewing an Oath of the Blue Rose paladin subclass, but it looks like someone already did

Active characters:
Carric Aquissar, elven wannabe artist in his deconstructionist period (Archfey warlock) Lan Kidogo, mapach archaeologist and treasure hunter (Knowledge cleric) Mardan Ferres, elven private investigator obsessed with that one unsolved murder (Assassin rogue) Xhekhetiel, halfling survivor of a Betrayer Gods cult (Runechild sorcerer/fighter)

Wow, thanks for that find, I'm like ... it's both removed enough and spot on enough I can't tell if it's a freak coincidence or there is some serious subtle genius going on there.
I'm not sure though I'd subclass it though. RL FBI takes all kinds after all and the build speaks more to the season one "Pure Coop" (and lesser extend Cole and Albert) and I prefer the "fallen Coop" of Season two.
I'm thinking maybe Blue Rose knowledge could be like a boon, Bookhouse Boys membership should be a boon too. To balance the forces maybe "Sinisterly Canadian" could be a feat/boon too.
The Garmonbozia played well, it's just aesthetic fluff so far, but an evil statuette (I reworked "Book of the Raven" to give it a mix of romp and edge) artifact dribbling a bit of it after coming into contact with one of a PC's painful memories evoked enough "wtf!" and "keep that in the bag until we know how to destroy it" and "why did you flick it on me!" that I think we'll keep riffing on it.
But I'm liking porting the Blue Rose into the game, they're due to meet a Horizon Walker/Oath of Watchers type NPC momentarily who is actually a (good hearted) Shadowfell roaming "echo" of an NPC who just died ("echoes" are basically "parallel" universe types, not D&D doppelgängers but more like Twin Peaks or broader Lynchian doubles, just some reflect someone's light as well as the Lynchian dark copies. Thanks for the brainstorming.
