TromBone
Musical Instrument, Rare

The macabre form of this functioning trombone is composed entirely of malformed bones that are fused together in disturbing and offputting ways. The bell is composed of a long since decomposed skull that seems to always be screaming. Despite its ghastly appearance, this piece is a fully functional musical instrument able to be played by anyone with proficiency.

Twice per day, you can use an action to play a short tune on this instrument causing two illusory skeletal figures carrying similar instruments to emerge from the ground occupying your same space. The skeletons begin to dance around you and play an oddly upbeat melody for 1 minute. The skeletons move with you when you move and cannot be targeted by spells or attacks.

While at least one skeleton is present and dancing around you, you gain a new reaction. When you are targeted by a weapon attack, but before you know the results of the roll, you can use your reaction to cause one of the skeletal beings to jump in front of the attack. The attack hits them instead of you causing the skeleton to crumble into a pile of dust before disappearing. These abilities reset daily at dawn.

NEW EPISODE

And today we talk about mind-controlling D&D players (not actually)

We talk about how Perception shapes the Game and how GMs shape the perception of players

Sounds confusing, though it's very easy. We talk about:
- Framing Information
- Communicating Correctly
- and more

Today let's talk about the Banshee. One of the most terribly protrayed creature from Irish folklore. They were not undead, they were a type of elf. Banshee in Irish literally means fairy woman. A messenger of death if you saw a Banshee a family member was going to die. But they were not responsible

Brewerโ€™s Barrier
+1 Shield, Uncommon (requires attunement)

This shield is composed of a hearty darkwood that smells heavily of barley and hops. The outer ring of it is a solid metal hoop connected with rivets lending to the idea that this may have, at one point, been the end of a beer barrel. At the head of the barrel a well-polished metal tap has been installed that seemingly leads to nothing on the front side of the shield. The back has also been fitted with a leather strap allowing you to easily mount this barrel end to your wrist.

Three times per day, while attuned to this item, you can use an action to place your mouth under the tap and pull the handle causing it to magically dispense a wonderfully complex lager that tastes slightly floral. You gain 5 temporary hit points for one minute after drinking this concoction. Additionally you gain a +1 bonus to Strength based checks and saves while you still have temporary hit points gained from this item. 

If you drink from the shield again while you still have temporary hit points granted from this item, roll a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, you become poisoned for 1 round. This item regains uses of this ability daily at dawn.

A comment on itch reminded me of this idea for creating #TTRPG dungeons I had a while back. I still think its neat and I don't think I've actually shared it here on bsky.

So bsky.. meet Crossword Dungeons!
Do a crossword, use the answers and designs as inspiration for the rooms, get creative!

One good thing about writing my Thesis is that while i have heavy Imposter Syndrome about being good enoguh and actually smart enoguh to write one

It means my GM Imposter Syndrome ahs kind of disappeared right now cause i got more important things to worry about

honestly i like that in theory. i wonder what minigame it would need for me to feel like crafting is worth the while but also integrated enough into the game (in this instance D&D but gladly other games too)

this is pretty much what we talk about too yes

its so hard to balance right and at the end someone will find that its not what they wish for... either you go the D&D route of "hey just throw money and time at problem dont care about mechanics" or you make it integral to the game loop and theme

You're a GM, ideally based in Europe. You have an idea. You've typed up the plot, settings, NPCs. Highlighted the heck out of that PDF or covered that book in sticky notes.

And you want award-winning EUphoria to make it an AP.

If that's you, get ready because GM Applications open TOMORROW!
