Attention fellow Galemancers, I found something extremely relevant to our interests in The 5E Guide to Sex sourcebook:

We definitely gotta start incorporating "Gale made me come so hard it restored my spell slots" into our headcanons and fanfics.

I'm desperately trying to remember an rpg that focused on living with chronic pain and migraines - do you know any that fit the bill?

THEME: Chronic Pain, Migraines, Disability

Hello friend, I was able to find a few! Some of these games focus on chronic pain or migraines specifically, while others are expanded to talk about a broader range of disability or illness. A few aren’t full games, but rather supplements that can be integrated into more generic rulesets.

Chronic Migraines for 5e, by Cat Elm.

Chronic Migraine Mechanics For 5e is a set of rules and guidance to enable player characters to experience chronic migraines, which additional feats related to migraine experience and rules on deciding migraine occurrence and suggested side effects.

Designed to allow players to explore real-world disability and experiences in a safe, controlled environment, Chronic Migraine Mechanics For 5E gives players and DMs to the tools to expand their in-game options and representation.

This is a supplement for D&D 5e, not a game in and of itself. If you are looking for ways to express disability in a game that you’ve already established, this supplement might be worth looking into.

You’re Sick (And it’s your fault), by David Moskowitz.

Were they a smoker? Not wear sunscreen? Eat a lot of red meat? 

Did they have unprotected sex?  Share needles? 

Who were they with? How long have they had that cough? Who might have they infected?

This is a solo-journaling game that’s an exploration of guilt and internalized stigma related to illness, with cancer, AIDS, and tuberculosis as the foundational afflictions informing the game.

Designed after the Wretched & Alone engine, this is a solo-ttrpg that is designed to be realistic. Living with illness is heavily stigmatized, and this game guides you, the player, through the physical and emotional toll that this stigma places upon you. Victory in this game means not that you will be “cured”, but rather, that you have the tools you need to make life liveable.

This game doesn’t focus on chronic pain specifically, but much of the prompts in the oracle seem to experience some overlap, such as having better days and worse days, irritating conversations with folks who don’t understand, and the way your situation drains you of money and time. If you’re looking for a solo experience that explores different facets of living with an illness that might not kill you, but won’t let up either, this might be worth checking out.

I AM FUCKING TIRED, by Tia Let | Hydromer

I AM FUCKING TIRED is a one-page solo journaling game about having an undiagnosed fatigue condition and trying to manage your day-to-day.

Even when your day-to-day might not be as certain as you think.

You have a body that loses it’s energy quite quickly; you have a condition that constantly drains you, but has no official diagnosis. Doing your day-to-day at home is difficult, but you do your best. Today is another day. 

A simple game with a few rules, I AM FUCKING TIRED is a solo journaling game so grab a pen and paper. You roll a d20 to see what memory comes to mind, and write about it. If you roll the same number as a previous roll, the Memory Twists - you remembered it falsely, had insufficient information, or someone lied to you. Finally, you also have an Energy tracker. During a Twist, you roll against that energy to see if you can continue. 

This game is free, and emphasizes self care before and after play. While this is about undiagnosed fatigue, I would not be surprised if much of the experiences of folks with chronic pain overlap with some of the events that appear in this game.

We Are Still Here, by Ennis Rook Bashe.

use a cane or a walker or braces. stab people. take meds. exist. survive. 

we are still here. 

This is a way to incorporate disability into Apocalypse World, and might work as inspiration for other PbtA games about how to include disability or illness. 

You can include a mobility aid that gives you both benefits and drawbacks - such as doubling as a weapon, or requiring frequent repairs. Alternatively or additionally, you can include medication, which provides benefits such as helping you concentrate or focus, while also threatening your well-being if you run out of stock, need a special storage environment, or have difficulties with your supplier. 

This is a perfect add-on for players who desire more representation of disabled folks surviving (and thriving) in post-apocalyptic fiction. 

Pieces of Me, by Mothworks.

You are young and newly disabled. Try your best to learn your limits, find new ways of doing things, and rest as you can as you tear and repair your character sheet.

Pieces of Me uses an index card, a pen, tape, and ten coins. Your character sheet (index card) will contain a number of boxes to indicate your ability to complete certain tasks. Whenever you push yourself to accomplish a task, you must flip your coins to see how many heads you get.  Not enough heads? You have to rip off a piece of your sheet. Too few heads and you destroy a piece of your character sheet forever. 

Torn pieces of the sheet can be taped back on or redrawn, and fresh scraps of paper represent new aids or methods of doing things. At the end of the game, you will have a memento of your game experience. 

This game has a standard and a dyslexic-friendly font. If you’re looking for a personal game with a tactile experience, this might be a game for you. 

Inkeeryn’s irritating insidious incurringible incessant illness, by cosmicbeagle.

Inkeeryn's Irritating Insidious Incorrigible Incessant Illness is a storytelling duet that uses a six-sided die and a deck of standard playing cards. One player plays someone who is afflicted or cursed or hexed, and the other plays the affliction itself. Over the course of four rounds -- representing stages of life -- you take turns narrating about the afflicted person and the curse that torments them. 

The exact nature of the affliction -- its effects, symptoms, and expressions -- are determined by you. You describe how the curse affects the character, and how the character treats, copes with, and maybe even transcends it.

This game gives you the freedom to decide how exactly your illness manifests, as well as the power to decide how your character responds to that illness. As a duet game, this provides for an intimate, personal experience, good for exploring a topic that can weigh heavily on many folks. 

Microservice, by Ponder Games.

You are a human going shopping with your service dog.

Microservice is a single-page tabletop roleplaying game.   It is intended for solo play, or for play with 1 player and 1 GM. 

This is a salty, tongue-in-cheek commentary on what it is like to navigate North America with a service dog, complete with a roll table of unhelpful NPCs that almost certainly drain your energy. You have the ability to play this solo, or with one other person, so it’s best for a quick little game with one other person, most likely someone that you’re comfortable gaming with.

Wait feel free to ignore this but I saw ur tags on my fanfic post abt researching for smut and D&D spells and I want to know what you’re compiling so bad.

OHOHO so!! there is an existing "sourcebook" pdf floating around on the internet called The 5E Guide To Sex, which i found a couple years ago when a friend sent it to me. highly recommend looking it up if you want to laugh so hard you're weeping. It's Atrocious.

i love dnd and i also love kink and i've been fusing my two loves to make a sort of New DnD Sex Handbook- primarily just for fun for me, not intended to be any kind of table roleplay device but technically functional as one, but also a good guide for folks struggling to do written sex magic.

it's super fun im having an amazing time- if there's interest i'd for sure make this public/post updates tbh. it's just goofy, but powered by love.

Final Note. people love to use the spell Grease for lube in fic. rule of cool, live your life, but be reminded. grease is cast over a 10 foot square, with pork lard or butter. according to dnd law if you cast grease for sex this is great for Oily Wrestling. this is bad for making your innkeeper not charge you 100000 times extra for DRENCHING HIS MATTRESS IN COOKING OIL

Transcript under the cut

AASIMAR

Aasimar views on sex vary wildly from one individual to the next; however, many aasmiar are known for their physical beauty and force of personality that makes them quite alluring.

Seductive. You have advantage on Charisma checks to seduce someone

DRAGONBORN

Like aaracokra, dragonborn are not a particularly sensual people. However, they are known for their robustness and toughness, which do translate well in the bedchambers.

Enduring. You have advantage on Constitution checks made to avoid exhaustion from having sex more than once in an hour.

DWARF

Most dwarf clans view sex as strictly for procreation between a husband and wife. However, dwarves thoroughly encourage a husband and wife to get it on as often as possible, so as to increase the size of the clan and counteract their relatively low fertility.

Enduring. You have advantage on Constitution checks made to avoid exhaustion from having sex more than once in an hour.

Infertile. You have disadvantage on checks to impregnate (if male) or become pregnant (if female)

ELF

Elves are an alluring, sensual race that greatly benefits from their long lives where matters of sex are concerned. When one can live nearly a millennium, one tends to pick up quite a few tricks, particularly since elven culture is fairly permissive and lax about sexual adventures.

Imaginative. You have advantage on Wisdom saving throws made to endure foreplay.

Infertile. You have disadvantage on checks to impregnate (if male) or become pregnant (if female)

GOBLINOID

The three goblinoid races – goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears – have sex often, principally as a means of producing children. Powerful goblinoids will often take multiple partners as a sign of their strength and power, but goblinoids lack style and finesse with their sex.

Fertile. You have advantage on checks to impregnate (if male) or become pregnant (if female).

GNOME

Gnomes enjoy sex almost recreationally. They are not one for forming close attachments to individuals, but rather to the community as a whole. Group sex is common, and the gnomish love of pranks and jests is a fundamental part of their sex lives.

Imaginative. You have advantage on Wisdom saving throws made to endure foreplay.

HALF-ELF

Half-elves tend to view sex like either humans or elves, depending on who raised them. Their natural charm aids them well, although many half-elves suffer awkward first years in spite of this: they reach puberty later than humans and so “fall behind” their human friends’ interest in sex, while those raised by elves mature rapidly and desire sexual activity at a younger age than their peers.

Seductive. You have advantage on Charisma checks to seduce someone.

HALF-ORC

Half-orcs, like their full-blooded kin, tend to like sex rough and are innately promiscuous. While some find their semi-orcish appearance unattractive, there are plenty others for whom that is their fetish – which is well rewarded once they get into bed.

Enduring. You have advantage on Constitution checks made to avoid exhaustion from having sex more than once in an hour.

HALFLING

Halflings don’t really need an excuse to party, and a natural result of partying tends to be sex sooner or later. Halflings have no particular kinks or skills beyond what other races have, though many halflings find the idea of sex with larger humanoids surprisingly alluring, given

how often they otherwise hate being treated by them.

Halflings gain no racial traits related to sex.

HUMAN

Human perceptions on sex run the gamut from restrictive to permissive, depending on the time period and culture. Particularly in the fantasy worlds of Dungeons & Dragons, no generalizations can be made.

Humans gain no racial traits related to sex.

KOBOLD

In most D&D worlds, kobolds lack a sex drive altogether. Sex is exclusively for procreation, with those rare kobolds who do derive pleasure and thrill from it being seen as weird at best and degenerate at worst. Even “love” is a foreign concept to most kobolds, with many viewing it as a sort of mental illness.

Fertile. You have advantage on checks to impregnate (if male) or become pregnant (if female)

TIEFLING

Like aasimars, tieflings have few unifying views on sex and sexual relations. Their physical appearance can be darkly alluring to some, however, giving them a natural seductiveness regardless of their own personal tastes.

Seductive. You have advantage on Charisma checks to seduce someone

Azalin Reviews: Darklord Morgoroth

Domain: Avonleigh Domain Formation: 643 BC Power Level: 💀💀⚫⚫⚫ Sources: A Light in the Belfry (2e), Ravenloft Dungeon Master's Guide (3e), Secrets of the Dread Realms (3e), VRGTR (5e)

Morgoroth is briefly mentioned as a “villain necromancer” in van Richten’s latest guide. When I say briefly, I mean his name is called out in a list of villains in the good doctor's description of the Shadowlands and nothing more. He is also no longer listed as a Darklord. It appears that this disembodied voice was downgraded to a third rate villain.

Morgoroth was the omnipresent Darklord of Avonleigh. At least until someone decides to assemble the thirteen pieces of the broken mirror that contains his essence and bring him back to his full potential, which is that of a rather powerful wizard. Morgoroth was not an easy Darklord to find information on. The main source is A Light in the Belfry, which, I believe, is the only module in DND that features an audio CD. So, instead of box text for the DM to read aloud to the players, the text only includes “play track X”. Having no accompanying text in the module itself, the CD was a necessary component to track down some information on this elusive Darklord. But, I am nothing else but persistent when it comes to my research.

Avonleigh is part of the Shadowlands and in an eternal twilight, never experiencing true day or night. There are no settlements in Avonleigh, with its denizens being made up mostly of the spectral undead and various beasts that inhabit the Phantasmal Forest. The only building is Tergeron Manor. That is, if you consider an uninhabited, crumbling and decrepit estate a building. Though it is a suitable dwelling for our fractured Darklord.

Morgoroth was one of those love-sick fools that did a bunch of idiotic things in the name of “love”. Morgoroth was a powerful wizard and tyrant of a distant land who attempted to redeem himself by traveling to Avonleigh and putting aside his evil ways. If I could roll my eyes, I would be doing so right now. Naturally, the holier than thou Shadowborn family forgave him and the siblings, Ferran and Aurora, took him in. Ferran was a Paladin of The Circle, an Order of do-gooder knights formed by the Shadowborn clan.

Morgoroth developed feelings for Aurora but she was destined to join the priesthood, which required a vow of celibacy. Why do Deities and holy orders so often have this requirement? It seems like they’re just asking for trouble as such an easy vow to uphold often leads to highly foreseeable complications. Morgoroth, in an attempt to be a “nice” guy, didn’t tell Aurora about his feelings until he did...He decided to tell her the day she made her vow of celibacy. Perhaps he was waiting for the most dramatic moment to confess his love? And in a rare instance of Darklord lore, Aurora loved him back but was SO upset about him telling her too late that she fled from him. Morgoroth assumed she fled in disgust and quickly turned back to his evil ways. I’ve not experienced a loving relationship myself, but I do not believe sex is a necessity for romantic love, but frail mortal minds often blend love and lust into one confusing ball of emotions.

From Morgoroth’s actions, he killed Ferran and abducted Aurora. The Circle attempted to rescue Aurora, but as things normally go for The Circle, they were all destroyed in the effort. Sure way to win her heart...abduct her, don’t listen to her thoughts and feelings, and lock her in a tower while you kill every single member of her faith. This mass murder pulled Morgoroth into the Mists. To taunt him, the Dark Powers placed Aurora in a stasis within a glass coffin. Morgoroth attempted to escape his new prison by opening a portal in a mirror, but it backfired and instead he was shattered into 13 pieces. I cannot relate to this at all…

As Darklord, Morgoroth is fused with Tergeron Manor where he constantly bemoans his love for Aurora and attempts to kill any heroes that stumble into his Domain instead of, let’s say, attempting to influence them to piece together his mirror and bring him back? Morgoroth’s powers as a disembodied Darklord are rather underwhelming except that he can, if he wishes, prevent any Necromancy spell cast in his Domain. The other powers appear to be designed to give him a more spooky aesthetic - extinguishing all non-magical lights in the manor, conjuring a cold wind, annoying the living with his disembodied voice, manipulating reflections, and so on.

Morgoroth is a watered down version of the Necromancer of Dol Guldur, though quite formidable if you're foolish enough to piece together his mirror and bring him back into his full power...which, in all honesty, what Adventurer group wouldn’t do this? How does one rate a shiver up your spine created by a lovesick moron? I don’t know. Two skulls?
