#Overprepped DM thoughts

[shinylayatha]

i got to premiere a monster I had in the back of my mind yesterday: gluttonous soil

it's a monster that is somewhere between a turbot and an earth elemental, mixed up with several teeth and eyes. it looks simply like undisturbed soil, until it feels weight on itself, when it then waits for the weight to move over its mouth before it chomps away

hard to kill since you basically have to destroy the connections between the grains of sand, which even gives off a bit of blood that seeps into the creature again, causing a blood frenzy as a defence mechanism

lots of fun to run and great for a trap or two. party yesterday encountered it in a smaller form (about 2m²), but I've planning to mayhaps hide one in the desert (like ... 1km²???), in the snow, in the jungle, etc.

so many ways to use them. the image of the party stepping onto a rock in the desert, the rock then shudders and reveals it is one of several eyes all around them staring hungrily?

yea baby

Actually

Seeing Pearlie's stimboard of Capri with a dice in it made me think a thought

Post remembering shit, he's a lot more chill, right? And even before then had participated in a murder mystery game, albeit as the Judge who wasn't an actual suspect and so not Fully playing?

Polycool DnD, dmed by either Aeon (normal) or Loen (deranged) with Caprico as an Artificer?

That or DMed by Capri who probably gets sometimes a bit Too detailed with how he describes things?

Can also invite Nikki/The Player/Momo for extra insanity!

Dunno if you sent this because you saw me mention Caprico DMing in the tags of another post or if we simply share the same braincell but I'm welcoming the conversation

For DnD at least, I'm assuming it is possible to play with just 2 players besides the DM, but you might want more, so I'm imagining Nikki and the MC joining in (besides Marina would definitely want in on the activity)

Maybe the Polycool would switch in-between who's DMing so as to not get somebody permanently stuck with the role

I feel like Loen would just improvise a lot and not prepare much

Aeon and Caprico would definitely have very detailed and overprepped sessions, but I think Caprico would allow way less wiggle room for the players

But yeah Caprico artificier main

Aeon wizard or sorcerer?

Loen maybe fighter?

MC rogue because they are unhinged. Otherwise maybe Paladin

Maybe Marina would go with Druid because animal powers and she finds them cute?

Would Nikki be bard? I need suggestions
