@bluetspur-brain
they fucked your shit up my lord 😔
These coastal self-named ‘wizards’ must have been commissioned by Von Zarovich to publish this slander of my person. Falsehoods of my origins and rather questionable artist license in rendering my ‘likeness’. Bah! I know my own reality and this is not it.
At least you didn’t have your spot taken by a horrible squid hulk.
@lordsothofsithicus
That book needed like 100 more pages of Strahd being completely shocked that Soth wasn’t going to give him the same 40 years of foreplay Azalin did.
I'm SO excited to finally share these pieces I created for D&D's Ravenloft: The Horrors Within.
This project was such a huge honor to work on. I remember as a kid looking through the players manuals & doing little studies of the artwork in there, so this feels a bit full-circle. You can get a peek at higher-res versions of them on my insta!
None of these people/entities smell good at all. Even the sword has a weird odor.
(OOC: Seriously, though, these are awesome.)
I’d like to introduce some of the new dark lords you’ll be seeing in Ravenloft X from Wizards of the Cursed. Uh, obviously they’ll all have a lot more filigree when the art department is done with them.
And did somebody say “Dracula vs. Strahd”? *waves tentacles enticingly*

I once intercepted this bizarre psychic communique. It hurts to think about it. Certain words are unintelligible no matter how much psionic energy I employ. I find the whole thing extremely unsettling.
(OOC - I am on a Dune kick and decided to create a grand unifying theory of my two favorite D&D settings. With a funny pun name.)
Report on Water Planet “Athas”
MONIPPUL INTERNAL DOCUMENT - DIRECTORATE SENSES ONLY
(Lord AO - We appreciate your discretion in this endeavor. Further, we must remind you that your account is supplied for the next 10,000 years in a storehouse location known only to a select few Monippul security gods.)
It is my pleasure to report that the project to seed Athas with Idunnian bacteria has succeeded beyond our projections. Notably, the hive construct’s mutative effect has increased the potency of the bacterial product. This, along with societal prompting by our pyreen agents, has rendered the planet imminently harvestable, far in advance of the projected exhaustion of Idunn.
Security - The perimeter barrier has proven far more effective at preventing intrusion through the Shadowfell than the latter VZ model. No unauthorized divine entity has penetrated the barrier at the time of this writing. Extractions to the VZ plane have proven successful, but should be undertaken with caution and only under directorial advisement to prevent the emergence of a secondary source of bacterial product.
Athasian Society - The hive construct has succeeded in mutating the native halfling population into a variety of species. Per our instructions, several of these of these races developed along the lines of universal standards—elves, dwarves, humans, and giants are all present. Once the mutations settled, our pyreen agent Rajaat would be able to initiate war along racial lines to facilitate massive expenditures of arcane energies and stimulate bacterial production.
NOTE: Athasian mutate-species are *not* entirely analogous to their universal standard counterparts. They tend to be hardier, and most individuals possess wild psionic talent. (The latter has even been observed in the apparently unmutated halfling population.)
Attempts to locate Rajaat have proven fruitless, though we can assume he was partially successful due to the condition of the landscape as well as the absence of many of our programmed mutations (orc, gnome, troll, etc.) outside of local legend.
A number of human “Sorcerer-Kings” have set themselves up as provincial despots to an equal number of city-states, and are even capable of creating warlock “templars”—possibly through similar means to key VZ inmates. These Sorcerer-Kings pay obeisance—in the form of 1,000 lives per year—to a creature called “The Dragon.” We have observed that this Dragon shares certain gross features with dragons as we know them, but seems to be a unique mutation.
Outside the city-states, nomadic pyreen foster elemental cults as required by the Directorate.
The Silicate - Idunnian bacteria has multiplied and permeates even the most remote regions of Athas. As on Idunn, exposure to arcane energies triggers the reproductive cycle and silicate byproduct of the bacteria. Water, minerals, and organic material are consumed, the bacteria multiplies and leaves in its wake divine silicate. As noted earlier in this report, the Athasian silicate has increased potency capable of sustaining a god twice as long as the Idunnian silicate.
COMPLICATION - Reports out of city-state Kalidnay indicate large quantities of silicate being moved to the central palace. Discovery of divine properties may warrant extraction to a VZ subplane.
i should get some sort of small sculpture to focus on while i meditate, and maybe i should attribute mystical properties to it as well
This one looks good.
exactly the kinda thing i was thinking of. i bet with a smart publicity campaign we could get one of these in everybody's bedroom, and maybe make a whole load of cash too
hey has anyone noticed all the monsters lately
Barovian Tales: Gary’s Birthday
(Dedicated to @bluetspur-brain )
So, there I was one slow February morning when I spied Gary, my High-Master Illithid / barista, with his back turned to me, working on something in secret.
When your disloyal, scheming Illithid employee has their back turned to you, working on something in secret, that is rarely a good sign. I fished out my trusty silvered dagger and approached cautiously.
Gary was so occupied that he did not notice me until I prodded his back with the knife and whispered harshly, “what are you working on, Gary?”
Gary started and turned around, facial tentacles flailing nervously. That’s when I saw it: the crappiest, brain-shaped birthday cake I had ever seen.
I stared puzzled for a moment. My birthday was supposedly in September, or so my parents told me. That could only mean one thing…
“Gary, is it your birthday?”
The Illithid telepathically sent a sheepish “yes” to my mind.
I lowered the knife. “I had no idea you had a birthday. I thought you were planning my downfall.”
“Not today,” said Gary in my mind nonchalantly.
I paused. “I am surprised you remember your birthday. I thought all your memories were erased by the God Brain’s mindless collective in Bluetspur.”
The gentle, soothing voice replied back in my mind. “My distance from the collective has allowed some of my previous memories as a tadpole to surface as well as my ceremorphosis.”
Gary shared some brief telepathic images: swimming in the brine pool of the God Brain, followed by his takeover of a drow warrior’s body and excruciating transformation. I quickly shut that part out of my mind. “Sorry,” apologized Gary, “I’ll fast-forward that part.”
Too late, there went my breakfast.
Later, I said, “well even in a crappy place like Barovia birthdays are worth celebrating. We should have a birthday party.”
A couple rooms over I could hear Viktor’s ghostly voice moaning, “you never celebrated my birthday.”
“Quiet, you!”
I scrounged some party supplies from around town, bribed a local Vistana band to play at our shop for the night, and enticed some customers to stay around by promising 1/2 off a second topping with the purchase of any Uncle Oleksii meal.
In no time at all, we had a birthday party for Gary. His “brain cake” tasted every bit as awful as you can imagine (chocolate frosting did not help), and everyone kept a safe distance from Gary, but for once Barovian Chicken and Waffles wasn’t entirely a depressing place.
Later, we asked Gary to give a speech.
Gary floated on top of a table and said, “I am an Illithid of few words, and not very good at speeches, but here goes.”
Suddenly a rainbow colored flash like a funnel or cone of energy projected from his mind and we all blacked out.
When I came to, I saw Gary devouring the cranium of a customer. In my most sitcom voice, I said, “Gaaarrryyyy!!!”
Somewhere in the distance, one could hear the cruel, canned laughter of the Dark Powers …
Later, as our ogre zombie dishwasher cleaned up the shop and disposed of the evidence, it was time to wind down and prepare for the next shift. I said to Gary, “you know, you’re the most conniving and untrustworthy employee I have, but happy birthday anyway!”
I felt a wave of joy emanate from Gary.
At that moment, a party of men dressed in strange, black suits, red cravats, and each carrying square-shaped leather briefcase entered the shop.
“Oh, I forgot to mention,” said Gary in my mind, “while you were unconscious I sold the shop to something called a ‘shell company’ from the ‘America’ demiplane. I made a tidy profit. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Gaaarrryyyy!!!”
(pause, Seinfeld style credits roll)
*snf* I’m so proud of my misbegotten, treacherous, and woefully stupid spawn.
Azalin Reviews: Darklord Claude Renier
Darklord: Claude Renier Domain: Richemulot Domain Formation: 694 BC Sources: Realm of Terror (2e), Gazetteer 2 (3e), Gazetteer 3 (3e), Legacy of Blood (3e)
Scholars have determined that prior to being claimed by the Mists, the Renier family was made of two branches – high born nobles that used their influence for the betterment of society and a clan of wererats that did the opposite. The Renier family have a complicated history in the Demiplane of Dread and the first known Reniers to stumble into the Mists settled in Mordent. Their patriarch, Jacques Renier, built the House on Gryphon Hill as well as Heather House, the current dwelling of the Weathermay family. It becomes more complex as the wererat curse developed in Jacques’s offspring, splitting the family further. This rivalry between the human and wererat side of the family only increased when Claude Renier and his pack of wererats fled into the Mists and found themselves in the city of Silbervas in Falkovnia.
Claude quickly integrated his family with the local wererats that lived in the sewers of Silbervas and created a thriving thieves’ guild that integrated with the humanoids of Silbervas. As in the manner of rats, Claude’s influence rapidly multiplied and eventually drew the attention of Falkovnia’s little mercenary, Vlad Drakov and his band of more talented thugs, the Talons. Vlad oversaw the extermination of the wererats in Silbervas and to everyone’s surprise, was quite successful in his endeavors. Over the course of three years, which have been aptly named ‘The Years of the Impaled Rats’, Vlad flushed out the wererats from the sewers of Silbervas causing Claude to flee into the Mists once more.
As if being defeated by Vlad Drakov wasn’t torment enough, the Dark Powers created a prison in the form of Richemulot just for Claude Renier. From Chateau Delanuit in Pont-A-Museau, Claude ruled over the governing bodies of Richemulot as well as his own family. He ruled through manipulation and ensuring the other wererats were too busy vying for his attention to plot against him. He paid particular attention to his twin granddaughters, Jacqueline and Louise Renier. Seeing as Jacqueline eventually usurped her grandfather’s position as the Darklord of Richemulot, one can imagine how well this worked out for the twitchy rat.
Claude Renier is little more than a footnote in Jacqueline’s story. A footnote that was defeated by Vlad Drakov who couldn’t win a battle against a single zombie…I rarely agree with our tormentors, but in this case they were well advised to throw Claude to the rats and deliver the carcass of his domain to Jacqueline.
m’lady Absolute, perchance, may I take that crown from your lovely mass? Per se, m’lady.
Listen to The Wonderful World of Darklords on RedCircle
Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! While superheroes and D&D are staples of geek culture, they don't necessarily go together; the occasional Sorcerer Supreme notwithstanding, superheroes are more associated with sci-fi than high fantasy. Luckily, not only is there a D&D setting that lets us embrace the technowizardry of Big Hero 6 without throwing all the fantasy tropes out the window, but it's a setting that doesn't have a full domain to its name yet. Topics discussed include:
How to get an ongoing story engine out of Callaghan/Yokai when his only goal in the movie is "kill this one guy;"
Horror possibilities for a dark superhero setting that are less obvious than the edgelord excesses of the 90s (please, we beg of you, don't make Gail Simone angry);
Settings and plot hooks suggested by the criminally underrated Big Hero 6 TV show, from secondary antagonists to sinister underworld cooking competitions, and an overarching theme to make them feel coherent with the domain;
Possibilities for the Big Hero 6 team that go beyond our go-to response of "kill them off so they aren't getting in the way of the PCs;"
and more!
