Sunday Sampler, December 18th 2011

Over on G+ I'll occasionally post pictures or stories or phrases that spark my imagination. Basically anything that I think might make good game fodder for a GM (or alternatively good story fodder for a writer). When I post them to G+ I'll prompt discussion by asking questions about the items. The thing is, I don't post everything I find. In fact, I probably post less than 1/4th of what I find to be interesting (and now with the new work schedule it's even less).

Every Sunday one of the things I'm going to do is use this blog as a place to share those things that I find cool or interesting or weird.


Jewel Encrusted Skeleton

The treasure is there, but you have to defeat the skeleton lord first.

Ghelston, City of Wanderers

I love the idea of a nomadic people who suddenly decide to stop travelling but keep most of the customs, style, housing, etc. of their nomadic past.

Haunted House

Shelob's Cousin?
I always thought that Shelob preferred the dark and dank corners of the world. Maybe this is her cousin?

Fairytale Land

Very creepy forest. All the worst fairy tale creatures probably live down that road.

High Fantasy Intrigues

I think this hall is a perfect location for your game that involves high level politics.

Monster from the depths?

I'm especially curious to know what kind of creature left that ooze behind as it slithered into the hole.
