Highlights From the January 2023 GMT Games Update

Highlights From the January 2023 @gmtgames Update - Some great stuff and congrats to @Justegarde!

It’s been a few months since my lost post about the monthly GMT Update! That’s not GMT’s fault. They do it monthly. I just haven’t had a lot to say about the more recent ones. At least nothing that really seemed blogworthy. How many times can you say “That looks so cool!” in an interesting and readable manner? Hey, that’s not nice. Anyway, I thought this month would be a good one to do an…

Beyond Hollywood: Exploring the Use of VFX in Unexpected Places

The dazzling visual effects (VFX) that grace our screens in Hollywood blockbusters often leave us awestruck. From the awe-inspiring landscapes of Pandora in "Avatar" to the heart-stopping action sequences in "Avengers: Endgame," VFX has become synonymous with big-budget filmmaking. However, the magic of VFX extends far beyond the realm of Hollywood, quietly shaping and enhancing a diverse range of media and storytelling formats. This blog delves into the fascinating world of VFX beyond Hollywood, exploring its applications in unexpected places and how a VFX course Mumbai can equip you with the skills to contribute to this ever-evolving field.

VFX: More Than Just Explosions and Spaceships

While Hollywood blockbusters showcase the technical prowess of VFX, the true power of this technology lies in its versatility. Here are some ways VFX is used beyond the silver screen:

Documentaries and News: VFX plays a crucial role in documentaries and news programs, enhancing visuals and storytelling. Techniques like compositing and color correction help restore historical footage, visualize complex data, and create compelling narratives. A VFX course can introduce you to the specific techniques used in factual filmmaking and equip you with the skills to create impactful documentaries and news content.

Television and Streaming Services: VFX has become an indispensable tool for television production, adding depth and dimension to shows of all genres. From the fantastical settings in "Game of Thrones" to the historical recreations in "The Crown," VFX enhances immersion and viewer engagement. Enrolling in a VFX course Mumbai can equip you with the skills to thrive in the fast-paced world of television production.

Advertising and Marketing: VFX plays a significant role in creating visually stunning and engaging advertising campaigns. From product visualizations to elaborate set designs, VFX captures attention and conveys brand messages more effectively. A VFX course can equip you with the skills to create captivating visuals for commercials, social media campaigns, and other marketing materials.

Live Events and Entertainment: VFX is increasingly used in live events, concerts, and stage productions. From creating immersive backdrops to visualizing complex stage elements, VFX elevates the audience experience. A VFX course can provide insights into the specific techniques used in live events and prepare you to contribute to this dynamic field.

Architecture and Design: VFX plays a role in architectural visualization, allowing architects and designers to create realistic 3D models and virtual walkthroughs of proposed structures. This not only enhances communication with clients but also streamlines the design process. A VFX course Mumbai might offer specialized modules on architectural visualization, equipping you with the skills to create compelling visuals for the design industry.

The Evolving Landscape of VFX Applications

The applications of VFX are constantly expanding, fueled by technological advancements and growing demand. Here's a glimpse into the future:

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): VFX plays a crucial role in creating immersive VR and AR experiences. A VFX course Mumbai can introduce you to the specific techniques used for VR/AR content creation, preparing you for a career at the forefront of emerging technologies.

Real-Time VFX: Real-time rendering technologies are allowing for the use of VFX in live broadcasts and gaming, blurring the lines between reality and simulation. A VFX training course might offer training on real-time rendering tools, equipping you with the skills to contribute to this rapidly evolving area.

Accessibility and Inclusion: VFX can be used to create more inclusive content by removing physical barriers or adding visual elements that enhance accessibility for viewers with disabilities. A VFX course Mumbai can introduce you to the ethical considerations of VFX and its potential to create more inclusive media experiences.

As technology continues to evolve, the possibilities for utilizing VFX will only expand. A VFX course Mumbai can provide a strong foundation in the core principles and techniques of VFX, preparing you to adapt and excel in this dynamic and ever-changing field.

Conclusion: A World Beyond Hollywood Blockbusters

The world of VFX is far more extensive than its portrayal in Hollywood. It's a versatile tool used across various media and industries, shaping our visual experiences in unexpected ways. By honing your skills through a VFX course Mumbai, you can become part of this dynamic field and contribute to the creation of captivating visuals that inform, entertain, and inspire.

Here are some additional points to consider:

OK SO!! You're going to need sporemodAPI for ALL of these. SporemodAPI works best for the GOG version of spore but also works with steam and origin (although the latter cannot be accessed anymore as far as I know). IIRC it doesn't work with the EA version either. You need galactic adventures for sporemodAPI to work.

ESSENTIAL:

Dark Injection - The classic spore mod! Adds in parts from Darkspore as well as enabling infinite complexity as well as many other things. Many mods depend on it to work! You can enable/disable features at any time using the uninstall menu.

Universal Property Enhancer / UPE - Another mod that many other mods depend on. Allows making changes to prop files without editing them. The mod itself does nothing, But it is needed for several other mods to function properly.

4 GB patch - A patch that fixes a lot of spore's memory-related crashes.

RECCOMENDED:

Solarspore - A gameplay mod that effects various parts of the game, Which can be toggled on and off at will.

Valla vanilla - A parts mod with a bunch of vanilla-styled parts

Sporestacker - Allows part stacking. Sharable

Advanced creature paint - Allows for more control over the paintjob of your creatures, Allowing you to paint individual parts. Sharable, Although to those without the mod the creature will look normal.

Pandora's toolbox - Adds a bunch of versatile shape parts

CamBen's color pack - Similar to the above mod. Adds colored knurl downs.

Advanced CE - Adds the shift/ctrl features from the building editor to the creature editor. VERY useful, I personally consider it essential. Sharable.

Integrated Integument - Similar to CamBen's color pack and Pandora's toolbox. Adds in recolorable fur parts.

Corporations - A gameplay mod that effects space stage. Adds various new tools among several other things.

SporeAutoSave - Exactly what it says on the tin! A mod that autosaves your game every 30 minutes during the campaign. A massive lifesaver to be completely honest.

So many people think spore's servers went down years ago like. NO. They've been active since 2008 and are still going strong and IIRC have even had a bit of a resurgence recently!! It's a bit of a struggle to get online working w/ the steam version of the game but spore's servers are still absolutely up and running!! You can play the game and share all of your critters!!

New Cuts in the World of Jewelry Marketing

New Cuts in the World of Jewelry Marketing

Recently, we’ve been tracking the changing tides of the jewelry industry. From heaps of high-power celebrity collaborations to explosive trends rising out of TikTok, new rules of engagement have begun taking shape. We’ve seen countless campaigns directed at Millennials and Gen Z, reflecting the moves to attract a younger audience and stay relevant amongst a shifting cultural landscape.  A major…

[henrysglock]

hooooo boy you have opened pandora's box...I'll try to keep it short, hopefully I can lay it out sufficiently!!

So essentially, from the newspapers we see in the show re: the Creel massacre in 1959, we've found a few odd details.

In the Weekly Watcher, we've got Henry, his sister Alice, his mother Virginia, and his father Victor. In the Indianapolis Gazette, however, we're shown Edward Creel, his sister Virginia, his mother Alice, and his father Victor.

Edward Creel and his family lived in Hawkins for 2 years per this paper, whereas we know from Dear Billy that Victor and Henry et. al. lived there for only a month or so ("we had a month of peace"). The Creels mentioned in the Weekly Watcher also had an exorcism done at the house, which isn't mentioned outside of Robin's quip about the exorcist. In Edward's paper, Victor is 38. In Henry's, he's 40. The Creel murders also occur on different dates in both papers.

We've also got other papers earlier on in ST which make mentions of a Martin Brenner and a Richard Brenner, and two different sets of circumstances surrounding Will's vanishing (one clipping says he was found being experimented on in the lab, and the other says he was found in a cabin in the woods).

All this to say, it seems like there was a split or a merge in timelines prior to the Creel murders, at least one, likely two timelines where Henry/Edward either turned time back by two years or pulled the other timeline two years into the future, and we've been swapping between these timelines ever since.

This is supported by a lot of set, costuming, and shot design analysis, based on: Brenner (his hair part and coloring swap back and forth between 1959 (right side, brown w/ grey streak), 1971 (left side, full brown), 1979 (right side, white), 1983 (left side, grey), and 1986 (right side, white), and in many of the shots in earlier years look older than others, all of which could be have been corrected by VFX and/or makeup) the 4 different unique jumpsuits made for "Henry" during the 1979 Massacre, fuckery with the NINA sequence in general (including but not limited to the unexplained double-keycard problem (if Henry needed a keycard to get to the boiler room, and he gave that keycard to El, then how did he get into the boiler room?), versions of "Henry" who look vastly different from each other in back-to-back shots, sequences where El runs past hallways twice, dates/times changing on the same security camera showing the same footage, bodies of corpses changing position between shots/limbs being broken vs unbroken and eyes gouged vs not gouged, child corpses swapping for adult corpses, physical fuckery with mirrors which I actually made a post about today, etc.) Nancy's comments about the timeline being wrong "Henry"s infamous clock-winding scene architectural differences between Victor's version of the Creel house and "Henry"s version of the Creel house (i.e., a completely new door appears out of nowhere and wallpaper changes color from what we see in Victor's retelling vs "Henry"s retelling vs what the gang sees when they explore the house) the fact that the Wheelers and the Creels physically look so similar to each other (Karen and Virginia look the same, Holly looks like little Henry, etc.) which would line up were Karen to be that alternate, younger Virginia Eddie Munson's age swapping from 19 in the show to 17 on his missing poster Eddie being Vecna in Hellfire's DnD campaign X-Men 134 from S1E1 being the issue where Jean Grey splits into Dark Phoenix the Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde imagery with the stage production posters (and c'mon...Henry and Edward Creel...Henry Jekyll (good) vs Edward Hyde (evil)) the BTS stills of a no-blood-splatter Henry crouching over the corpses in the rainbow room looking confused and just...so much more. I'm sure I'm forgetting bits, there's just...so much.

There's also the matter of wormholes, which Em talked about here:

Wormhole Post

and possible points where dimensions overlap.

Here's the link to my post about the mirror fuckery in the NINA massacre alone:

NINA Mirror Fuckery

If you click the tag for timeline theory you should be able to access most of it, but if not I'd recommend digging into Em's analysis posts!!

All this to say: There are likely at least two, if not 4 different timelines. As such, we can't be certain that Henry Creel is actually Venca. If anything, it seems more likely that it's Edward Creel is Vecna, and Henry Creel ended up elsewhere. There's also an entire Scott Clarke component to it, which ties in with the stage production, but it's not necessarily integral to the theory.

Also I'm just going to tag @aemiron-main in case I missed anything, because he's really the details genius!!

Arise, fans who have been talking about the Duffer Brothers' appreciation for Dawson's Creek and Stranger Things for yeeeears. Arise!

@paceywittergayboatman and @kaypeace21 and surely many others!

I had been listening to people about the recent tragedy that is a repeat of previous tragedies and is guaranteed to result in inaction and was having thoughts about what would and wouldn't fix this.

At its core our country's population suffers primarily from being shackled ball-and-chain to a populace subset that through the generations has waged culture war after culture war with us, willing to tear down foundations and warp the legal system and poison our society in the name of white supremacist christofascism.

The common thread of these mass shootings is not simply that there's far too easy an access to guns, it's that our country is a hotbed of extreme right wing domestic terrorism, and underlying that is a faction of our society that refuses to coordinate and accept the other half as their neighbors and kin.

Mass shootings today are an echo of serial killers during the civil rights movement. The notion that women, people of color, gays, trans people, and others in this vulnerable side of our society deserve better is one that sparks in our heinous half a desire not just to oppress but to murder. It is the blood lust itself that is the issue.

I feel that some time has passed that feels appropriate to move on to discussing the incident. I gave it pause because I'd rather just try to process the fact that children were murdered and there will be more mass shootings of this nature. But after thinking and hoping and dashing the hopes, I want to break down just who can and will actually address this crisis.

Most conservatives and a concerning number of neoliberals believe in turning schools into fortresses. The suggestions range from comical (booby traps) to dystopian (arm the teachers arm the guards train the students to fight for survival). This is not addressing the problem at the root, it's prone to pushing blame on the victims, and it's traumatizing children. It's a kinda natural response when you're completely unsure what to do. But mostly it's just conservatives refusing to try anything their "domestic enemies" suggest. Basically: it's wrong to go this route and it doesn't even work.

The government has already proven that it is unwilling to address mass shootings at a Federal level. Basically, one party is opposed to a gun ban, and the other sees the issue as one of the tools they can use to acquire votes. That's one of the core problems with party democracies. If you solve problems and have little left to campaign on, then what will motivate people to vote for you? And then the other party walks all your progress back, anyway.

You may see a new assault gun ban in the coming months but it will only decrease the mass shootings as they exist, and I don't know if it will actually decrease all that much. I'm also unsure if we should even be doing a gun ban.

The first thing I can think of (spoiler: it's a bit moot) is legal precedent. Banning guns in the sense of overriding the second amendment is a dangerous path to tread that I am confident our government is not competent enough to navigate. When you codify the repeal of an amendment, you set the legal precedent that said amendments can be taken off of the table. We already know that this is possible, but it's also a Pandora's box. On the other hand, I have no doubt that our uglier half of our nation spares no thought for these consequences and intends on pulling this very trigger just to spite the innocent they wish to attack. So if they're going to do it in the future, anyway, that renders this point moot.

The other half of this is that disarming the public makes it more difficult to resist or combat an oppressive regime. But that point depends on what their idea of resistance is because most anti-government militias tend to get shut down and an individual is not going to do much of anything. Most of the non-revolutionary tactics that work better against our government do not involve guns. But on the other half of this, banning and confiscating weapons as a means of giving the government more power and control over our public is a goal for both of our parties.

A third aspect of the gun ban is that it is impractical to implement without some degree of power overreach, and there is a lack of trust in how that power will be used. Many states do not use gun registries or permits. That means gun ownership is still a wild west, and even though you can pretty easily acquire guns that were owned by people not willing to resist the law, that leaves out all the people keeping their guns a secret. What's the answer, here? Give police the power to search homes and confiscate guns? You think that will go well? You think that won't be something the police will abuse? It should be noted that the gun ban from 1994 allowed people who already owned assault weapons to keep them, but since it's been so many years, we have more ownership of assault weapons (mostly by candidates for mass shootings) than ever before. So who would an assault weapon ban without the teeth (that will inevitably be used against us) even protect? And what about the legal precedent involved with THIS mess?

The "common sense gun laws" crowd needs to understand that even though the answers are simple, the situation is not.

A similar response is increasing surveillance. Introducing a surveillance of websites known for being hotbeds for extreme right wing thinking not only grants more power to a government known for turning against vulnerable people, it's also unlikely to work. While right wing sites have plenty of centralized sites, there are countless decentralized locations where a lot of domestic terrorism is suggested or planned. It's equally as impractical as it is lending power to the wrong hands. Besides, they're no doubt doing this, anyway. The NSA have combed through 4chan and Stormfront before and probably watch it nonstop.

I see a lot of people who claim that we need to make mass shootings less of a televised event, but not only is that unlikely to happen due to profit motive, it's also a Pandora's box due to the first amendment. Maybe, *maybe*, we could manage to regulate the media's response to these crises with FCC standards on reporting on mass shootings and serial killers. But it would likely be challenged and it would be a long battle just to get news stations to not stoke the public panic and despair that these murderers want in their entitled murderous outbursts. Maybe we could do this, but it'd be an uphill climb to do something that doesn't get to the root of the issue. Even if we managed to regulate news stations, there's no shortage of individuals running podcasts, social media accounts, and so on to spread the sensationalism instead.

So to summarize what is unlikely to work:

Fortifying schools, synagogues, etc (proven ineffective)

Banning assault weapons like in 1994 (only results in a slight decrease and is riddled with complications and implications)

Minimizing sensationalism (impossible, probably even for TV)

Increased surveillance (riddled with complications and unlikely to be possible)

The common thread with all of these suggestions is to respond to a threat that should be incredibly rare in the first place. The question we should be answering is, "how do we make these threats more rare?" This is part of why the gun ban made an impact on mass shootings.

But coming back to the earlier point, the mass shootings and serial killings during this period and the civil rights era have had a common thread, a violent hatred of women and minorities, largely held by entitled white men. The fact is that these mass shootings are one of the consequences of a culture war.

That is as far as I am at, right now. Because then the question becomes, "how do we decrease the entitlement that our culture instill into men that destabilizes/radicalizes them toward this violence?" And it's a tough question to grapple, for me.

Character Asks

tagged by @varric-tethras-editor and @roguelioness, thanks!

THE BASICS:

Character’s name: 

Lydia Rowena Theodosia Trevelyan (Rutherford)

Role in story: 

Heroine, one half of the lovers

Physical description: 

Tall. Five foot eight inches. Curvy at the bottom with medium olive skin. Fluctuates in weight throughout her life but tends to always have muscular legs. Bright blue eyes like the sea curtesy of her magic. Brown hair with hints of chestnut forming a widow’s peak at her forehead. High cheekbones and lips usually stained with red or pink depending on her mood.

Age: 

At the beginning of the story, 26. Follows her to her middle thirties.

MBTI/Enneagram Personality Type:  Campaigners (ENFPs) are true free spirits – outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded. With their lively, upbeat approach to life, they stand out in any crowd. But even though they can be the life of the party, Campaigners don’t just care about having a good time. These personality types run deep – as does their longing for meaningful, emotional connections with other people.

Ennegram: 4 THE INDIVIDUALISTThe Sensitive, Withdrawn Type: Expressive, Dramatic, Self-Absorbed, and Temperamental

INTERNAL LIFE:

What is their greatest fear?: 

To not truly live and love

Inner motivation: 

To explore--the world and other people.

Kryptonite: 

An excess of doubt about herself

What is their misbelief about the world?:

 At least initially, that it won’t be like the stories.

Lesson they need to learn: 

Love is beautiful all on it’s own for the sake of love

What is the best thing in their life?: 

Her relationships with others.

What is the worst thing in their life?

Never having that happy familial unit with her own family

What do they most often look down on people for?

Cruelty

What makes his/her/their heart feel alive?

 A breeze on a summer’s day. Cool water to swim in a warm bath. Doing makeup at her vanity. Time with her lover and his words. His touch.

What makes them feel loved, and who was the last person to make them feel that way?

Words most of all along with reassuring touches--always given by her lover. Her children as well make her feel wanted and needed.

Top three things they value most in life?: 

Her relationships with others, exploration, and stories

EXTERNAL LIFE:

Is there an object they can’t bear to part with and why?

A coin fashioned into a necklace given to her by her lover early in their romance. Later, her pearl wedding ring. When she went to the Circle she wasn’t allowed to take anything with her, and their was no object of sentimental value she had before Cullen’s coin gift. It’s extra special to her because of that fact in addition to the sentimental value it has for Cullen. She does give it back to him however after she gets her wedding ring (Due to the nature of eloping she wasn’t able to get him a ring, so she offers the coin back as a placeholder) thinking so long as one of them has it they’ll have their luck. 

Describe a typical outfit for them from top to bottom:

 A white billowy peasant top that hangs off the shoulder along with a billowy shirt of rotating jewel or neutral colors. Flat shoes. A fancy outfit would involve a silk dress of varying styles and colors--but prominently royal blue. She likes to wear her hair both down and up. 

What names or nicknames has they been called throughout their life?

Her first nickname was “kitten” by a templar at the Ostwick Circle. Later she’s called “Dearest,” something she absolutely loves. She asks the giver where he got it and he admits he read it in a book. “You’re my dearest one,” he says. 

What is their method of manipulation?:

 She doesn’t believe in manipulating. 

Describe their daily routine: 

If she’s not on a mission she wakes up later, eats breakfast and attends to her meetings before going to her garden to read or relax. Then it’s dinner and time to retire for the eve. She always bathes at night

Their go-to cure for a bad day?: 

A bath. Food. Getting railed. 

GOALS:

How are they dissatisfied with their life?

It changes. When she’s thrust into the role of Inquisitor she has absolute zero self confidence due to her background, but she eventually learns. Midway into the Inquisition she legitimately wonders if her romantic entanglements are tearing her apart. This eases when she realizes she truly does love Cullen the person and not the idea of him. Post Inquisition she wishes she could do it all--Inquisitor, world saver, mother, wife, everything.  She learns how to create that balance. 

What would bring them true happiness or contentment?

Her family happy and together.

What definitive step could they take to turn their dream into a reality?

Focus on those relationships

How has their fear kept them from taking this action already?

Part of her is always going to fear she won’t be loved due to her past, but with reassurances she knows she’s loved.

Do they feel they can accomplish their goal while still steering clear of the thing they are afraid of?

Absolutely. She can see she’s loved every day.

Fantastic Flora/Fauna for D&D

D&D games don’t have nearly enough mundane fantasy creatures. Everything needs to either be useful or dangerous for people to care about it! To remedy this, I've created a bunch of fantasy creatures and plants that sprinkle into your campaign to create amazing and slightly alien environments. 

These are inspired by settings like Pandora in Avatar, or the world of the Dark Crystal, where everything seems to teem with movement and sound and luminescence. Most of these creatures and plants are almost entirely harmless but can make a setting unique by inserting just one or two into your world.

Feel free to steal these or let them inspire you to create your own wacky or weird minor plants and animals.

Fantasy Fauna

Balloonfrogs: These frogs inflate pouches in their bodies with air, making themselves rather buoyant. They then leap from trees and spread their large webbed legs and toes to glide through the air. They usually come in bright colors to look like other poisonous frogs, but are actually harmless. Their ability to quickly escape danger is their primary means of avoiding predation.

Cave Barnacle: Cave barnacles can be found in neglected dungeons filled with moisture. They resemble regular barnacles in most ways; clinging to walls and ceilings protected with a hard shell 1-2 inches in diameter. This shell is wider than it is tall and spirals inward towards a central node covered in a hard membrane. The barnacles feed on many things that are considered poisonous or toxic to other creatures. When such a substance floats nearby, they open up their central node and unfurl a frilled fan that twitches in the air to gather the nutrients. Wary adventurers know when cave barnacles are waving their fan it means something dangerous could be in the air. The barnacle’s fan is rather beautiful and comes in bright colors often not visible in the darkness of its home. Some varieties of cave barnacle have a glowing fan.

Floraflies: These insects have many wings and false wings that give them the appearance of a large orchid or other such showy and colorful flower. While at rest, it is nearly indistinguishable from a flower but its true nature can be determined with careful inspection or knowledge of the true flower it mimics. There are many different types of floraflies, each looking like a different flower. Some use their feature to hide from predators while others use it to hide and wait for a pollinating bug to come by. Such floraflies will ambush their prey this way and lay their eggs in them; a gruesome tactic for such a beautiful creature.

Ganglers: These creatures look like large long-leg spiders, but with only three limbs protruding from their fist-sized body. With their legs, they are about 3 feet in diameter when viewed from above. They can climb some sheer walls, but are clumsy and have a hard time on ceilings. Their uneven number of limbs makes them move awkwardly as they scramble away from predators. Despite their slightly scary appearance, they are herbivores and only feed on plants that are common underground and in swamps. They are easily startled by light and will scuttle away from torches or magical light that finds its way into their habitat. The creatures are far from solitary and often gather in colonies ranging from 20 to 100 creatures.

Giant Glow Worm: Like a regular glow worm, these creatures create strands of sticky silk covered in glowing beads of saliva to entrance and ensnare prey. These worms can grow up to one foot in length compared to their smaller counterparts. They feed on Tiny creatures like bats and birds that they catch on their strands, in addition to insects. If a Small or larger creature is caught on a strand, it will usually snap and just stick to the creature causing a mild annoyance. Even if the strand doesn’t break, the worm will know if a creature is too big for it to eat by the vibrations on the silk, and will stay put if it’s too large.

Lightsteel Mites: These insects are very tiny, enough to drift through the air on the slightest breeze. They cling to dungeon and cave walls and eat dust particles. They are a relatively unassuming creature until they come into contact with metals. The mites produce a natural light when touched by a conductor. This light comes in a variety of colors but tends to be one color in particular regions. The mites are only really noticeable when they gather in large colonies and drift onto creatures to feast on the dust covering them. Creatures wearing armor or wielding unsheathed weapons while covered in large numbers of lightsteel mites shed dim light in a 10-foot radius. Trying to wipe away the mites squishes them and spreads their light-shedding blood over the surface they were on. This doesn’t put out the light. The only sure way to get them off and prevent their light is by washing them off with water.

Magma Slug: This 8-10 inch creature looks like a sea slug glowing orange like a candle. It has red frilly feelers going down its back that seem to sway back and forth as it creeps its way along. It can cling to sheer surfaces unless they are slippery with liquid like water or oil. The slug eats iron that it heats up within its body, giving off its orange glow. When frightened, it expels the smelted contents of its stomach quickly, leaving a small red-hot ingot of steel behind. While its predators go after the glowing iron waste, it crawls away, no longer glowing until it eats more iron to digest. The slug dwells in subterranean areas and can survive in an around volcanoes. The creature is immune to fire damage and touching one deals 1 fire damage with each round of contact. Magma slugs do not gather in large groups unless it has no natural predators nearby. Salamanders and other fire creatures prefer their taste.

Marble Glob: These 2-foot diameter oozes look like they are made of polished marble with shifting veins of color including black, white, gray, red, or gray-green depending on its diet. That diet consists of stone and minerals that it breaks down with its unique acid. This acid does not harm organic material, but it is so weak that the glob has little use for industrious creatures. It takes days to eat through even an inch of stone. The glob is harmless and slow-moving, but many of them beneath a foundation can serve a threat to its structure.

Mortar Worm: A mortar worm is an 8-inch long worm only an inch in diameter. It isn’t a particularly remarkable creature, only colored in russet brown. However, it creates spectacular designs. The mortar worm feeds on stone and excretes a natural mortar as waste. As it travels along cavern and dungeon walls, floors, and ceilings, it creates tunnels and ribs in the stone. With enough worms and enough time, the area can take on the porous looking texture of sponge or dried coral, despite actually being made of natural cement.

Prismapods: These creatures look like enlarged pill bugs, about one foot in length. They have the distinctive feature of changing the color of the exoskeleton on their back to match their surroundings. When frightened or when trying to attract a mate, the isopods instead create vibrant colors that alternate down their back segments like a rainbow. These colors glow, producing dim light out to a mere 5 feet. Prismapods live in woodlands in and around fallen trees; the bigger the better. They eat the wood as it decays, leaving trails in the wood that look like they could have been caused by worms.

Skyswimmer Eels: Often found in jungles with moist and warm climates, skyswimmer eels look like flat wavy ribbons undulating up and down as they fly through the trees below the canopy. They range from white to pale blue in color and can reach up to 10 feet long. Their main body is about 4 inches wide and 1 inch high, with the rest of their apparent form comprised of 2 fins that span their body’s length, each extending out to 10 inches. At rest, they cling to trees with their bodies spiraling down the trunk’s length. Some varieties can change color to blend in with trees and leaves, and others have spined rays on their fins. Jungle denizens hunt these beautiful creatures and adorn their clothes with their colorful fins. Other cultures consider the creatures sacred and consider slaying them taboo.

Sleep Geckos: This tiny pink and purple gecko’s skin is poisonous to smaller predators, but to humanoids it is not potent enough to cause harm. However, the poison is a mild anesthetic for them, and can cause mild numbness and drowsiness in Small or Medium creatures. Those that are aware of these properties can gain advantage on Wisdom (Medicine) checks to treat painful wounds. Those who come into contact with the poison must make a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or gain disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks for 10 minutes. Tiny or smaller creatures that fail this saving throw instead take 2d4 poison damage and fall unconscious for 1 hour.

Spectral Terrazoa: This creature looks like a translucent, glowing hydrozoa about the size of one’s fist that roams dark wilderness regions rather than the water. Although called spectral, the terrazoa are quite corporeal albeit ghostly-looking. The creature feeds on airborne nutrients spread by other plants, using its thin tendrils to draw them into its mouth. Spectral terrazoa gather in clusters wherever the air is dense with pollen or fertile scents, slowly climbing trees and boulders to get the best position. They do have a poisonous sting, so they are not entirely harmless, but it only deals 1 poison damage to creatures that touch it. Spectral terrazoa shed dim light out to 10 feet.

Starbugs: These beetles create globes of saliva that they fill with air, then they seal them off and get carried away by the slightest breeze. Starbugs are far from subtle. They can also glow like a firefly. This gives off some heat and lets their saliva-sphere float with a bit of control. The light fills the globe like a lantern, making it seem like a will-o-the-wisp from afar. These creatures inhabit dusky swamps and use their odd form of locomotion to find suitable mates and avoid waterborne predators in the swampy waters where they lay eggs.

Tile Scuttler: Tile scuttlers are land-dwelling crustaceans or possibly insects that dig beneath tiles and stones in subterranean dungeons, hiding beneath them much like a hermit crab hides in a discarded shell. Tile scuttlers can get fairly large, about 5-6 feet in width and length but only about 2 feet tall. They have many powerful legs to hold up the stone that rests on its back, and usually the weight of a Medium creature that stands upon it. Their claws and mouth are too small to do significant damage, using them to feed on insects, small particles, or even tiny vermin. The scuttlers can feel creatures approaching using tremorsense, out to about 15 feet. It tries to hide form larger creatures, but if someone steps on it the scuttler will lift it up and try to move away. In moist places with lots of nutrients, a whole colony can gather in a dungeon’s room, causing an unsettling but usually harmless encounter for adventurers.

Fantasy Flora

Brushgrass: Brushgrass looks like natural grass with frilled tips that grow up to 4 feet in height. They have a peculiar tendency to be attracted to movement and will brush up onto creatures moving near it. Some believe it is to help spread their seeds or to pick up pollen from passing creatures. It is otherwise harmless.

Coilies: This plant looks like a simple, albeit large, teal fern that curls up when creatures come within 5 feet of them. They stay coiled for about 30 minutes, making it easy to tell if a creature has passed by recently.

Dancing Lilies: These white flowers dangle from thin vines that hang from tall trees. Their petals are narrow then fan outward and flop under their weight. The lilies compress their vines to rise and fall to catch sun peeking through the canopy, which often gives them the appearance of dancing.

Dice Plant: The dice plant is an unassuming leafy weed that creates a large, translucent blue seed pod filled largely with air and large loose seeds. When creatures come close to it, the plant shakes to rattle the pod to scare them away, making a sound like dice being shaken in a cup. The plant is otherwise unremarkable.

Fairy Nest: This large flower is about 6 inches in diameter and has yellow or white petals with dark speckles. Its unusual feature is the translucent bright vermilion spheres at the center of the flower that it holds like a cup. These spheres are as small as beads and resemble caviar. The flower is named for these “fairy eggs,” despite the fact that no known fey actually lays eggs. The spheres contain seeds, and creatures that eat them are sure to spread them somewhere. The spheres are rubbery and both taste and smell awful. Strangely enough, orc and half-orc pallets actually enjoy the stuff.

Filigree Plant: The filigree plant has evolved to look like stone, steel, or precious metals despite being as soft and delicate as a regular flowers and leaves. They do so mainly to avoid notice by herbivores that wish to end their long lives. They tend to thrive in man-made dungeons where they simply look like a part of the architecture. When they need to spread seeds, they produce brightly colored fruit that eventually drops to the ground to be eaten by creatures. The fruit is not poisonous and is considered a rare delicacy, so adventurers that find a piece of floral masonry sprouting fruit would best grab it and sell it to the local fruit merchant.

Fountain Coral: This coral has evolved to survive on coasts and strangely above the water. Although made of a colony of hundreds of smaller yellow and pink creatures, its main structure looks like a cluster of seven or so 3-4 foot tubes standing vertically out of the water. As long as it rises out from a reliable source of water filled with nutrients, it can survive by drawing the water up through its tubed form and squirting it out the top of its tube. This method of feeding gives the fountain coral its name. Some are constantly spitting water, while others do so intermittently. Dead fountain coral no longer does squirts water and turns white and hard as stone. Some intelligent creatures use dead fountain coral as natural tubing over short distances.

Rolling Mossball: This creature ranges from 3 to 6 inches in diameter and is made of soft green scraggly plantlife. The mossball’s main form of locomotion is rolling by spinning a water-filled plant organ in the center of its form. It tumbles along the ground, seeking puddles or other bodies of water to rest in or deposit seeds. It is easily startled and its first instinct is to flee. Dead mossballs turn brown and dry out, and are often picked up by gusts of wind.

Shy Ladies: These large plants have giant, 4-foot petals that come in reds, pinks, and violets. When a creature comes within 20 feet of the plant, it curls up its petals into a 4-foot tall, half-foot thin green-white column curving under its own weight. Fey creatures seem to be able to not cause shy ladies to hide their petals, so sprites and other small fey tend to hide their treasures within their petals.

Windstrands: This plant is a vine with red arrowhead-shaped leaves that are always twisted and wavy. Windstrands grow on trees and boulders in hilly or mountainous regions where it can get lots of wind at its height. Without sensing any wind, its seeds simply refuse to grow. The reason for this is how it spreads its seeds: the vine grows several maroon pods that burst in autumn. Inside the pod is a thin, 2-foot long black strand with white puffs at regular intervals. The puffs are like dandelion seeds and separate from the strand when caught by a strong enough wind. Then they float away to grow elsewhere. When the season is right, these puffed strands can be seen waving off of the vines while more white puffs linger in the winds like cherry blossoms.
