🗡️ For the Wicked and Weird (Part 2)

prompts based on random quotes from my D&D sessions

I’m proficient in kicking ass!

Very fun, we’re having so much fun. Character B are you okay? (distant panicked screaming)

Your parents are really worried about you! Why are you a shadow demon?

I’m going to disappear into the bushes, as a good citizen does.

Well if it fails the flight test we’ll get to the water test reeeaaal quick.

I’m going to hide behind Character B because they’re big and strong and will draw fire with their stupid remarks.

My literal biggest fan has come barreling after me!

Dog. Have you killed a man?

Were you dropped on your head as a kid? Oooooh, which time?

I am trying to have a conversation. I am trying to take these boots.

stolen worldbuilding prompts

i have a few worldbuilding prompt novels, so i'm going to share some of their prompts here. if i make others, they shall be edited on to this post. i'd say support the original creators but that would make it swifter for the copyright creatures to find me. of course, these are mainly fantasy themed.

Describe the black market in one of the cities you encounter. Start by writing down the names, appearances and personalities of three vendors. What are some of the unique, unusual or magical wares they sell? Or what valuable information do they have?

Whenever you and your company hit a new town or city, you’re sure to be tavern-bound eventually. Write a list of at least five tavern names, their themes, their proprietors, and their personalities. What characters or unique brews might you encounter at each establishment?

Think about a child who has been affected by the actions of you or your party. How did crossing paths with you change its life? Did you burn down their village, or save them from a monster attack? What is this child like, as a result, when they grow up?

What are some major landmarks you encounter on your travels? Do locals tell tales about their origin? Write about how these experiences might affect you as you continue on your journey.

Write about someone you’ve lost along your adventures, how did you deal with that loss?

You and your adventuring company are going to a party. Who invited you, where is it taking place? A small gathering or a fancy masquerade, what’s the food like? What rumours or info will your company gather while at the party, or what villain will interrupt the festivities?

What is your world’s setting planet shaped like? Round, flat, atop a gargantuan turtle’s back? Describe its parameters.

Create a typical fantasy world, but one thing is dramatically different. Like, all creatures can do magic but humanoids cannot. Or humans can never die of old age but all the plants only live for a few weeks. Get weird. Get stupid.

Create a setting where gods walk the earth and directly interact with each other, their followers, their enemies. How will each interact with mortals of their world?

A member of your adventuring party gives off an odd scent. What does it smell like, what is the source of it, how does it relate to what one knows (or doesn’t) about that character?

Potential: D&D healer-class PC who began like the anime one in their backstory but by the time of the campaign has become the MMO one. They’ve delt with enough shit parties and could not give a singular fuck anymore with this newest band of idiots

*Kicks down the door* YOU KNOW WHUMPY TROPES I LOVE SO MUCH BUT BARELY EVER SEE?

MAGIC FATIGUE/EXHAUSTION/OVERUSE.

Give me those sweet side effects of overusing magic:

Getting lightheaded and weak, struggling to stand let alone keep fighting

"Are you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine. *immediately faceplants because their legs can't support their weight anymore*"

F a i n t i n g

Physical injuries like burns, broken bones, etc

The risk of permanent damage either physically or mentally

Can I get uuuuhhhhh "loses a sense either temporarily or permanently depending on the severity of the overuse"?

Stopping their heart (cue the team scrambling to drag their dumbass friend back from death)

THERE'S SO MUCH YOU CAN DO AND I SO RARELY SEE IT.

Danny is a paladin in the Young Justice Team.

I have wanted to have the young justice kids have a video game or board game they can all play but they would have equal chance at winning. (My first thought was Pokémon tournaments bet robin gets way to intense on the competitive stats) and any video game that requires fast reflexes Kid flash/impulse dominates at unfairly. So doomed is out. This is something for them to bond over after missions and training. And they settle on DCs version of dnd.

As they are playing they notice that some of the ways the dnd classes are used matches pretty well with some tactics they use on missions. Superboy is the team barbarian, Robin is the rouge, wonder girl is a fighter, Danny recently learned how to use ectoplasm for healing but he is a heavy hitter too so he is a paladin. Maybe paladin? (You guys can figure out what the other members are.) Oh and this gets them wondering if some strategies in dnd can be applied in the field. Several of which do and the mentors happy at the increased team work. Though they are confused at some of the code phrases the kids are using. (It’s not code just dnd terminology.)

Really this is what gave me the idea.

Places you should add to your little town/city in your fantasy world!!

Post offices. Wild, I know. But give me the unhinged kind. Pingeons and little postal dragons all over the place. You enter. The most disgusting smell fucking assaults your nostrils. You know what it is. Letter in hand, you go up to the counter. The postal worker is just a slightly bigger pigeon. You shed a tear.

PLAYGROUNDS!! Create the most dangerous kinds of playgrounds, the ones suburban moms would TRIP if they ever saw one. Monkey bars that are way too tall, swings that go full circle... The metal slide stays the same, it's already painful enough.

PARKS!! MAKE IT ALIVE!! Show people going on walks, reading beneath trees. C'mon most of them are already hundred years old (And are going to die after that CR 15 creature wrecks the town) anyways!! Show couples and picnics, show a family enjoying the sunday, give me someone picking flowers for their loved ones.

A bakery! Do you know how much these places are underrated? And do you know how much plot potential they have? Every good story starts with food poisoning or granny's recipe! Give me a place your players/readers are going to treat like home and, for once, it's not a tavern or a guild.

Government buildings! Give me a town hall that has a kilometric line in front of it. Give me a registry that is as old as this town. Give me police stations! Give me courtrooms! Make one of your players get arrested and now all of the party has to go through burocracy like a bunch of normal people!

(Who am I kidding? You don't need to make them get arrested. They are going to do that for you.)

Touristic attractions! Give me a full-on statue of the country's leader! Give me museums! Give me streets, ruins and whatnot that attract thousands of tourists everyday! Give me an annoying city guide that tries to get the party's attention everytime!

Magazine stands! Magazines don't exist? Newspaper stands! From the Queen's Journal to the most questionable new piece of Fox's Tailtracker, you have it all! Make your players doubt what's actually happening, sprinkle a little fake news... Or is it fake at all?

...Toy stores. OK HEAR ME OUT. Make magic toys; miniature skyships that actually fly, metal toy dragons that expel fire, little wands that make little light spells, wooden creatures that can move and make noises... Make children happy! And your players too because they will waste their money on these stuff.

Instrument store!! Make your bards happy with special instruments or just weird ones! Give me a battle in one of those that is just filled with funny noises and the worst battle soundtrack ever!!

Not exactly a place but... Cleaning carts!!! Show me people cleaning the streets, picking up the trash, cutting trees!! Make the town look clean!! Give me an old man that is really proud of his work!!!

(or ways to make your players feel even worse when the villain destroys the town later on :) )

Steve plays DnD with Eddie and the kids (not Hellfire, none of them are ready for that yet) for the first time and attempts to seduce a dude to get information.

The thing is, Steve’s character is also a dude. When he first asks, Eddie is shocked, the kids are confused because “he’s a man, Steve” and Steve just pulls out some old Harrington charm and sufficiently flusters Eddie and gets the information needed.

Most of the kids are just happy it worked. Will is happy and surprised because apparently both Eddie and Steve are cool with gay people, cool enough to roleplay as them! Mike is having an internal crisis because the lord has a wife but it still worked so is he gay or straight? When asked Eddie just says he likes both, which prompts a small internal crisis. Eddie is a weird jumble of feelings because Steve is flirting with him! But like in character. So is Steve gay? Is his character gay?! What’s happening!

Steve’s flirty remarks make it out of the game and just become Steve flirting ruthlessly with Eddie, but prompts no questioning from the party because “it’s an inside joke”.

#steve harrington #stranger things #eddie munson #stranger things 4 #steddie #steddie prompt #steve harrington x eddie munson #steddie headcanon #lots of people have done the Steve flirts with Eddie via dnd #so the fic is certainly out there #I just think the idea of it giving Mike a sexuality crisis is funny #and that nobody in the party questions their flirting any further #and when they flirt out of game #it’s just their thing #and so when they start dating #nobody knows #for a solid few months #juicepost

🗡️ For the Wicked and Weird (Part 3)

prompts based on quotes that never fail to make me laugh from my D&D sessions

“You can speak to plants?” “Yeah!” “Plants can’t talk.” “Fuck you, yeah they can!”

“God looked at me, thus I have to pay.”

“Character B, what did you just steal?” “A velociraptor!”

“Do I get a third dad now?”

“About what percentage of the population is puntable?”

“I don’t make the plans. I just steal stuff.”

“You’ve got a bright future.” “I’ve got a bright present.”

“So how do you two know each other? Are you two f u c k i n g?”

“It’s like PEMDAS.” “I think I had a friend who prayed to them once.”

“Alright, bone ape tit. Let’s go.”

Prompt 212

“Did we just pull an Isekai?” 

“I mean, does it count if it’s practically just Ghostwriter’s usual shit, just more chaotic?” 

“Sam, this is like a game, look, we even have inventory overlays!” 

“Yeah but Tuck, I died so therefor I pulled an isekai, right?” 

“Shit, why does that make sense?” 

“Boys, perhaps actually look into your overlay there? Perhaps look at the map as well?” 

“... oh my Ancients, guys, we’re not the players, we’re going to be the bosses of this game.”

. . . 

“This is going to be so much fun guys.” 

The JL Jr team would really like it to be known that they are in fact done with Klarions shenanigans. This is literally the first day school is out for the summer for them! Who even showed him DnD and anime anyway?!

I made this on Insta as a tool to come up with random D&D character prompts. I have been using it a bunch, and I thought I would upload it here too (though tumblr mobile is so disfunctional when it comes to videos, so who knows if you’ll be able to actually use it 😭)
