Kuo-toa summoning an avatar of Blibdoolpoolp

Artist : Anton Seder

1896

[faerunianmiitra]

"We can't ascend Gale because it is evil, he will lose humanity, he was groomed and a sweetheart and" No.

We can ascend him.

We have a goddess that is half naked and do nothing but torture people around. We have a murder god that does nothing but... murder.... and tortures his own family? We have lolth, a goddess of betrayal and bloodshed, like, bitch, what are you even born for? And then we have a god called Blibdoolpoolp.

Blibdoolpoolp, the evil sea goddess of the delulu.

We absolutely can afford to have a god of losers.

"But we will lose the precious Gale" he will be working under his ex for the rest of his life, imagining what he could have conquered if ascended. He would stay sweet and pure, but at what cost? To be sold back to the Wizard Corp LTDA, dealing with insufferable wizards for the rest of his life?

Go on, love, ascend. Be the god of ambition. Destroy everything, there is no cycle to repeat if everything is doomed. Be who you always dreamed to be, let's kill Myrkull for good and free everyone from his Wall of the Faithless. Let's go beyond and clean the pantheon from these useless gods. Then let's descend together. Unify all the hells. Kill all the gods and start from scratch when we feel like. Let's be the ultimate folly, love. Alexa, play bel air from lana del rey

Pooldripp: "What is to be your first commandment, oh great god?" Options: 1. A better name than Mahkloompah', for one 2. Go out and build me an army 3. No more blood rituals. 4. Just keep doing what you're doing. 5. Perhaps you should study the teachings of my god.

I love the kuo-toa: all these options are so tempting. This one is still my favourite though:

PC: "Perhaps you should study the teachings of my god." Pooldripp: "Yes - yes! We will study this being who claims power over you, great Mahkloompah. So that, one day... we might destroy them."

They're so enthusiastic about it. Can't wait to see Bhaal taken down by the "fish lads" (as Karlach calls them, to my utter delight can we get her to rename every entry in the monster manual?).

Also this is a pretty legitimate route to godhood, if the cult catches on. Especially if you're already on the first rung of the divine ladder...

...What happened to Blibdoolpoolp, anyway?

[cactusmisslittle]

What now?

Experimenting with a couple new brushes and had to draw the fish boy hehe (I'm actually not sure I'm a fan of the brush I used for the sketch but eh maybe it just takes some getting used to kflsda)

I am very normal about Sloopidoop being an archpriest (presumably of Blibdoolpoolp) while being a founding member of the Society of Brilliance wym

[continent-of-wild-endeavor]

To be fair, Blibdoolpoolp canonically looks like this:

Who wouldn't be fascinated?

Not everything a DM tries works out as intended. Sometimes a story arc falls flat, or a little extra description causes the party to halt for a few hours to fiddle with a rock…. it happens.

Yesterday we tweaked our designs for the kuo-toa archpriests of Sloobludop. First is Bloppblippodd, archpriest of Leemooggoogoon the Deep Father. Second is her father, Ploopploopeen, archpriesst of Blibdoolpoolp the Sea Mother.

Their redesigns are inspired by lancetfish! We started with Bloppblippodd since we felt inspired to have her resemble this fish, then applied similar changes to her father so they would resemble each other.

Old designs under the cut for anyone curious, the redesigns aren't hugely different.

The skulls on Bloppblippodd's staff aren't quite as visible in the remake's camera angle, because we wanted to show off her cool headfin.

99. James M. Ward and Robert J. Kuntz  - Deities & Demigods (1980)

A much extended and updated version of the already existing Original D&D supplement (Deities, Demi-Gods & Heroes from 1976) dedicated mainly to giving descriptions and stat blocks for different gods and mythical characters from around the world, this is also a vast improvement on that pamphlet.

Before we talk about those improvements I have to say that I have some problems with vast sections of this work. Professionally I am a scholar of Religion with a PhD in the field, and seeing such simplifications of "American Indian Gods" or things like calling Kali a "Chaotic Evil" Goddess are beyond problematic, being pretty insulting to what are living religions followed by millions today. You will notice no stat blocks for Christ or the Christian God... well they should have had the same tact concerning other living religions. But it was the late 70s/early 80s and I understand that those kinds of considerations were far from the minds of the writers. 

However, this is still a pretty interesting and useful book, particularly when it comes to fictional pantheons like the Lovecraftian or the Melnibonean pantheon, and even more interesting when we get some D&D original lore concerning non-human gods, here we have the first appearances of such staples as the orc god Gruumsh, the dwarven god Moradin or the elven god Corellon Larethian, as well as bringing in gods that first appeared in adventures such as the kuo-toan goddess Blibdoolpoolp from D2 Shrine of the Kuo-Toa. Full of illustrations, this is a pretty great book to leaf through.
