modern d&d/high fantasy type elves: we're tiny and small and love nature and peace and are sooo fancy and mysterious we never get our hands dirty and we're so delicate we only live 700 years

Tolkien's elves: hi I'm seven and a half feet tall but my brother is taller than that, I drink alcohol so strong it would kill you, I survived torture and starvation for years uncountable, no problem though, I can rip out werewolves throats with my teeth and my friend over here has scars covering their body. We're all autistic and functionally immortal. I use ropes as bridges and am telepathic. Did I mention we killed each other over some jewels? no? Anyway we still like fancy and shiny things and looking pretty. Our hair is so strong it can be used as bowstrings. We have no gender roles except that women bake and men cook, but even that one is bendable if you want to. Do Not cross our army. Oh and our eyes used to be bioluminescent.

I really think that detecting illusions is a heavily underused mechanic in ttrpgs.

So try this. You make a dungeon. Everything in the dungeon is positioned and behaves as if there are walls. In reality, there are no walls. There are incredibly high level illusions if walls. The doors are real, the floor is real, all the items in the dungeon are real. Some of the doors are even locked. But there's no walls.

And the trick is, unless a player specifically says they touch a wall or they lean up against a wall or anything like that, you say nothin to give them even a hint that the walls aren't real. Because they're going to assume that there are walls, even if you don't have miniatures, or a VTT map, or you don't describe them. It's unreasonable to poke around at every aspect of your surroundings to see if they're real or not.

With perceptive skill alone, a player requires an absurdly high check. 35 or something along those lines.

So there are really only four ways to discover the walls aren't really there.

1) player touches the wall and realizes that it isn't there.

2) player uses magic to detect or see through an illusion. I'm considering extrasensory ability in this category as well, but sensory still has to be mostly intentional because they have to have a reason to distrust their eyes.

3) skill check. They try to look around them to find something. They might notice a slight improbable repeating perfection to the illusion.

4) they beat the dungeon and the illusion fades, revealing how silly they've been this whole time.

𝓗𝓪𝓾𝓷𝓽𝓮𝓭 — send 🏚️ for an au where my muse haunts the house yours just moved into.

[what-the-stark]

👀 (I slipped)

send 👀 for a dirty thought and/or fantasy my muse has had about yours.

So are you asking if I ever exercise my impressive imagination in your general direction, or if said imaginary scenarios are a little more targeted? Since you haven't bothered to visit in person, it would serve you right if I didn't let you in on any of my scandalous secrets, whether they feature you or not.

But...I'm feeling generous. And shameless, so I guess I'll share with the group.

You pop up in here often enough that I've come to associate this place — my workshop — with you. Which is a bullshit psychological motivator for something that I already wanted in the first place, but that's how the mind works. I feel safe here, and though it kind of pisses me off, since you're not actually here anyway, by default you feel safe, too. Unwise, I know. Believe me, I am aware. But it's where we're at.

And you're not skipping right to the racy section of this novel, you haven't earned it. So, PG it is. But I will admit to entertaining a few fantasies involving you, a worktable, part or all of a suit and probably a lockdown to avoid spectators. I'm an exhibitionist, sure, but I can't see how I would feel inclined to ever share you.
