Unbound Monsters - Slaughterhouse Horrors

An easier post for folk that missed the first or the second entry to these monsters. This is what you can expect to get every month when you become one of my patrons!

Links will follow in the reblog, so please be considerate and reblog my reblog containing the drive link so others won’t have to look for it.

Okay, so: for those who aren’t familiar with it, the premise of D&D’s Ravenloft campaign setting is that it’s a gothic horror world where some myterious force elevates its most evil inhabitants into godlike rulers called Darklords. Each Darklord is granted a domain in which they wield absolute power, but also labours under a curse that denies them the one thing they want most. Basically, it’s a setting where the existence of boss monsters is a concrete phenomenon.

That’s not the whole gimmick, though. The other half of the equation is that each Darklord is a thinly disguised version of a particular historical or public domain literary figure. There’s a Darklord based on Victor Frankenstein, a Darklord based on Dr. Moreau, a Darklord based on Count Dracula, and so forth.

(Actually, there are two Darklords based on Count Dracula, one modelled on the literary Dracula and one modelled on the historical Dracula, which is just hilariously meta – but I digress!)

And then there’s the weird ones.

For example, there’s a Darklord who’s literally an evil William Shakespeare. He has the power to put on illusory dramatic productions that seem absolutely real to outside observers, but all he sees are wooden puppets and cardboard backdrops; his thing is tricking adventurers into participating in his contrived tragedies in the hope of wringing emotionally genuine performances out of them.

Similarly, there’s a Darklord who’s an evil Pinocchio, and wants to capture the player characters to use them as test subjects in weird experiments that he hopes will uncover the secret of becoming a real boy – experiments which are doomed to failure, of course, because that’s what the Darklords’ curse is all about, but don’t tell him that! (Also, evil Pinocchio’s name is “Maligno”, because of course it is; this is not subtle material.)

So, with all that context in mind, one of my perennial campaign ideas I hope to run some day is a Ravenloft game where the first Darklord the player characters come up against is an evil Billy Mays.

(If that one doesn’t pan out, my backup plan is a Darklord based on Jay Gatsby.)

My submission for http://avatarfanzine.tumblr.com/!  

Bunch of old nerds as teenage nerds. With sketches because ofc I like the sketches better.  Anyway I think i had their ages at something like, Tenzin at 15, Kya 17, Bumi 23-5, Lin 14, Suyin 8.

Tenzin’s practicing the ancient airbending technique known as “the Hover Hand”.
