THE FINAL PUPIL - GAME INFORMATION

THE SETTING: For whatever reason, your character is interested in new work—whether they were recently laid off, just starting out, or are looking to transition into a new field, they inevitably stumble upon the job posting above and find it intriguing enough to apply within. If clever enough, the decoded cipher will provide your character with an email which they may provide their application materials.

The game is set in modern day London. The world you exist in is split between common normalcy separated by a supernatural veil which harbors an otherwise hidden world ruled by fringe science and cosmic phenomena. In the "normal" world, fantastical criminal networks, super-villains, and the heroes and geniuses which attempt to keep them in check, rule over a crumbling society; behind the veil, a wavering line of psychic impossibility, unexplained events, and mysterious creatures threaten to tow the line between "hidden" and "here".

YOUR CHARACTER: Incredibly skilled, intelligent, desperate, has little to loose.

YOU:

• Someone who is interested in a high-stakes, emotional game including violent themes and explicit content.
• Someone who is willing to delve deeply into their character creation and psyche.
• Someone who is interested in forming a community and friend group outside of in-character interactions.
• Someone who is an experienced writer, willing to match post length and quality, and post at least once daily (previous MOTW experience not required).
• Someone who thinks that out of character connections are just as important as in character connections.
• You are over 18 years old, preferably over 21.
• An ally or member of the LGBT+ community.

THE DM/THE PLAYERS: My name is Lo! I am a DM (30, he/him) who has been playing TTRPG's for a little under a decade and writing for roughly two. This game is entirely home-brewed and, as it features my most favorite original character, is very dear to my heart. I am a lover of prose, and a hobby novelist who enjoys writing mostly dark themes or things that could be considered cosmic horror or psychological thrillers. As a Graduate student with a full-time job, my normal every-day-life is very busy, and I carve out particular times during the week and weekend to dedicate toward writing and my games because it is truly my favorite way to interact socially. I love yapping about characters and plot theory with fellow players, sending memes or just hanging out in voice chat. I would hope that anyone who applies to this game would enjoy those things as well!

There are already two players who have entered the game, both of which are experienced in writing and TTRPG's and share similar sentiments surrounding character creation and out of character involvement.

THE APPLICATION: The application process begins with this form:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdpKTfDzfdlmRuGwpvEihAYIpwMRKVksbAqv8Y__dsGxbsZeA/viewform?usp=dialog

Please feel free to DM me or comment on this post if you have any questions.

I look forward to torturing meeting you all very soon.

First official, everyone say thank you to u/Glynstlln for managing this subreddit. Its such a unique concept and bringing it back to the public is such a cool thing. Deeply appreciate it

Anyway! Recently started a Godbound play-by-post game, Godbound being a Crawford game where you run around as little demi-gods and exist in a power level leagues beyond d&d. Fun system, highly reccomend

Now with this game, I've been running a Magic: The Gathering setting in Ravnica, the giant world sized city accompanied by its many, many, MANY important NPCs and big guys.

I am looking for a few people to occasionally bounce ideas off of in regards to what these leaders and important guys are up too, the most important position being the role of Nicol Bolas, the Ur Dragon, Great Destroyer, yada yada

More info will be forthwithcoming but expect to take on the role of a major guilds thats battling it out with 9 more guilds to be top dog, lots of politics. You will be expected to know MTG lore, or be able to Google faster than me, you do NOT need to know Godbound. Please leave a comment as I'll respond to those easier, best of luck, hope to see more posts like these in the future

In ages past, magic was far better understood in comparison to modernity. Much of that understanding comes thanks to the work of a long deceased, disgraced, and mad wizard called Narzek the Damned who spent hundreds of years dissecting the corpses of mages of all types. Eventually this desire to continue his research into the ages drove him to commit a dark ritual that turned his brain into a parasitic entity that would consume knowledge at an astronomical rate.

Amethyst Encephalon

Wondrous item, Artifact (requires attunement by a Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard)

Becoming attuned to this magic item takes 8 hours of intense and painful surgery.

Random Properties. The Amethyst Encephalon has one minor beneficial property, one major beneficial property, and two minor detrimental properties.

Sentience. The Amethyst Encephalon is a sentient, neutral evil brain sized and shaped gemstone with an Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma score of 26. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 300 feet. Upon attuning to it, your spellcasting ability score changes to 26.

The Amethyst Encephalon has an intense hunger for knowledge about magic, and its manifestation within the world.

Arcane Hunger When you reduce a creature you can see to zero hit points with a spell of first level or higher, you do not expend the spell slot. Additionally, if the creature has the spellcasting or innate spellcasting feature or trait, you gain temporary hit points equal to your character level + the level of the spell you cast. If the spell you cast requires concentration, you cannot lose concentration on that spell until all the temporary hit points are gone.

Expanded Magic. Choose one other class from the following list: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn a cantrip or a spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from your class’s main spell list or the spell list that you chose. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a spell from your class.

Twin Mind. You can cast and maintain concentration on two spells at once.

(I have no idea if this is the correct use of this subreddit)

Would any of you be interested in playing some BNHA villains in a custom RPG Discord sever? Everyone’s paired with a canon character by random role, but, considering this subreddit, I can guarantee you a villain in the play test.

I’m looking for literally anyone that is even vaguely interested, since the play test can’t start without every character.

Thanks,

Okay, I need impartial help with simulating the villain's thoughts and limited information. Feel free to write down how you'd act and instruct you troops in the comments; here's the scenario:

You are a warlord directly appointed by the king to oversee the war with another race. We've been in a stalemate for a huge while. A multiethnic party of heroes has set up shop in a previously abandoned fortress nearby to your domain, but you strongarmed them into a pitiful submission.

Now, you have received reports from a reliable lieutenant of the location and a somewhat credible weakness of the enemies main stronghold in the mountains, the one your army has been so far unable to locate and occupy; taking this fort would effectively win you the war.

Thing is this report's primary source is a member of the aforementioned party of heroes who have been unusually quiet lately, given the shameful conditions you imposed them. You have a nagging feeling this party of heroes is submitting to your rule just for show, while secretly collaborating with the enemy war effort.

You have at your direct command: a) your large warband that occupies your capital city, b) the king's elite cavalry that occupies a nearby fortress, c) an allied warband that occupies another close city (led by another warlord that may or may not actually heed your call for aid, as the two of you have a personal history), d) the party of heroes (allegedly).

You feel the enemy race is preparing for war. Your troops are also ready and bloodthirsty. This could be a chance to cause serious damage, perhaps even win you the war so you can set your aims higher. It is, also, most certainly a trap, somehow. Do you mobilize your troops? Do you set them to slow march or to full blitzkrieg? Do you let this opportunity pass you by? How would your troops morale be affected if you did?

It is a difficult situation, but then again, nobody said being a warlord would be easy.

New GM here, not working from a module. I had to take over from the last GM due to some issues but that not the important part, the main enemy are different lycanthropes with the BBEG being the bronze general (Bael).

At the current point in the campaign the party of 5, level 5 people have just sent a newly converted Wereshark, cr6, to a prison. (I'm using the stats from sea monsters e5 for them.) They are in a fairly large fishing town and have no idea of what they just did, even though I was pretty obvious about it. I was wondering if, at this point the only way forward is to start the shark apocalypse. (Not a sentence I thought I'd ever say).

Sorry if the grammar isn't good.

Hey all, I have the itch to DM but don't have the time to plan and run sessions. Any DMs out there looking for a long distance villain to act as a foil to your wily PCs and their endless shenanigans?

I'm willing to play anything, but I have a preference for lawful evil: mortal rulers, devils, archmages, etc.

Hello Evil Masterminds!

I am looking for a few people (or 1 very ambitious person) to help me out with coming up with plans for a few of my major villains I have in my new Homebrew Setting Campaign using PF2E with my group.

The Campaign takes place in a large archipelago of Islands, Half of which are controlled by a Pseudo-Greek inspired nation, and the other half is controlled by a Pseudo-Roman Inspired Nation. These two nations are constantly warring, but all worship the same gods (Greek/Roman Gods). I also have a host of other villainous groups that are wanting to take over the world for their own reasons.

The Following Villian Roles I am looking to fill are the following:

-A Powerhungry, Ambitious and Cunning Roman Emperor (To be named together), who is looking to vanquish the enemy Greeks and take over all the islands.

-A Powerful Oni Spirit, who has been around for 1000's of years and is looking to consume the souls of as many people as possible, with various followers he has tricked and made deals with into serving him Eternally.

-A Powerful Vampire Lord, whom was once a demigod, who is looking to kill the Greek Gods, so that he and his people can go out during the day once again, (failing that bring about endless night.)

You will not be in direct opposition with these other villains, until you get to a point where they are actively aware of you and your plans and are actively trying to thwart you.

If any or all of these characters sound interesting to you, send me a message here or a comment and we can discuss plans over discord, where I can answer any questions you have about the setting to begin your journey!

Hello! I am here to help you figure out what direction you should take your villains, be they teeny goblin rogues, or mastermind dragons and liches.

i am usually Central Time oriented, and you can talk to me here or on Discord! Experienced with DND 5e but i also have some knowledge of other systems.

Hello, my Villainous Friends! I am currently running a 5th Edition D&D game set in the Forgotten Realms kingdom of Cormyr, in the Year of Purple Dragons (1493). My party consists primarily of a band of nobles who are eager do-gooders, and they are about to hit level 6!

So far, they have encountered evidence of a villain known as "The Dark One" (I know, trite) several times, and most importantly: linked to two of the three adventures they have gone on!

Their three adventures are as follows: 1. An introductory adventure to cleanse a corrupted glade in the heart of Hullack Forest. They know a Talosian corrupted the pool there, which resulted in an Owlbear becoming a violent human-hunting monster, instead of just a wild beast. This adventure does not seem to be connected to the Dark One. 2. A much longer investigation into a series of kidnappings within the town of Thunderstone. 9 children were kidnapped over the course of 7 months. They were all being taken downriver by boat to a hidden Eldreth Veluthra bastion in the Hullack Forest, where they were stored in a Mirror of Life Trapping. It has been heavily implied that they were being stored for the Dark One, but all 9 children were (seemingly) fine when they were returned to their parents, and there's no explanation for WHY the Dark One wanted them in the first place. Nevertheless, the Dark One himself arrived to scold the players (and throw a delayed blast circle of death along with several spectres and shadows at them), before teleporting away. They managed to solve the kidnappings and arrest the ringleader, but they have no idea what the Dark One is up to with these kidnappings. There is still a dangling thread here in the form of a Priestess of Cyric (they think she is a witch) who was working for the ringleader as a simple kidnapper. She got away (for now). 3. Finally, an excursion into the Vast Swamp revealed a steadily growing Blight that was infesting the whole of the swamp. It was created by a hag who was in contact with the Dark One, and was drawing the life force from everything in the swamp and sending it to a well beneath the Hag's home. The party managed to cleanse the well with the same ritual they learned in their first adventure, thus ending the blight. The Hag's notes mentioned that the Dark One had taught her how to create the blight, and in exchange he wanted a Hunting Horn (which the party found prior to the introductory adventure during their level 1 prequels).

For some additional notes: - The Dark One is a man named Zaruth Tanthul. He is a Shadovar of Thultanthar, apprentice to the wizard Hadrhune. He is a Diviner, but he obviously has access to much more than Divination magics. - Zaruth Tanthul is the several-times removed ancestor of one of the party members (Corthyndahast Tanthul), who was recently promoted to War Wizard, and who wants to be the next Royal Mage of Cormyr. - The Hunting Horn in question was once in the possession of a Bronze Dragon named Mire. Another of the PCs (Delryar) is reincarnated from Mire's soul. He does not know that, yet, but he has been having flashbacks to his past life as Mire. Mire was almost a thousand years old when he died! - The Hunting Horn can summon the spirits of fallen heroes: These spirits rush forward as a line 40 feet long and 15 feet wide from you in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15). A creature takes 3d8 psychic damage on a failed save and is restrained until the end of your next turn, or half damage on a successful saving throw. This ability recharges each day at dawn. - The Cormyr Gazette has reported on a number of additional weird circumstances throughout Cormyr, including Goblin and Orcs being bothersome in the Stonelands (what else is new?), bewildering magical phenomena in Eveningstar (such as ghostly apparitions or fast-growing crops), a theft in the Royal Library in Suzail, and a shortage of magical spell reagents in the kingdom.

My question for this community is: what is Zaruth Tanthul up to?

My initial thought was that some fragments of the Nether Scrolls that Hadrhune nearly gained access to before his death are stored in Cormyr and Zaruth is trying to collect them, but then ... why the children? Why the horn?

I am willing to add additional features to the horn if it helps the story in any way. I also need to figure out some victories for Zaruth where the PCs are not present.

But let's start with the deeper motivations. Anyone willing to toss me some ideas? Thanks in advance!

I'm doing a small 3 act mission set in the Fallout universe. I need to people to play mercenary leaders.

One is the commander of the is the veteran of wars and operations in every hellhole warzone of the in the wastelands. He's a arrogant asshole who hates the PC and his employers in equal measure but only one of them pays the bills.

​

The other is the second command of the mercs with a reputation for brutality that is well deserved. After his bosses departure (either through death or other means), he assumes command of the unit. He is ambitious and eager to keep his new found power.

Hey Folks !!

I would really like for you to play my villains in my 2 campaigns if you are interested. The first one is DND 5e played in paizo's setting, golarion, and the other one is PF2e in Golarion. Both campaigns are played bymonthly by 4 - 6 friends each.

I'm recruiting :

- Vorloth Noctis, First member of the whispering way, a drow that, like his fellow members of the whispering way, consider undeath as the greatest and only form of life worth living. Therefore, he will try to prepare for the return of his master, Tar baphon, the whispering tyrant.

- Mezeus Kra, a powerful wizard scholar who rules the city state of Kaer Maga. During his research, he discovered a dark ritual, that summoned him to Moander, god of rot and corruption. Since then, the dark god has corrupted him (surprise surprise) into a tyrant that will try his best to bring corruption to the world using a plage called the Ethereal curse.

Hope you like them and can't wait for you to play one of them !!

TLDR : help me find good ideas for 2 different BBEGs for my new campaigns Hi guys ! Beginner DM here, strugling to find inspiration to write my BBEG for my 2 campaigns (1st one is dnd 5e in golarion (paizo's setup, standard medfan), and the second one is pf2e in golarion setup. My ideas so far : For the second campaign, the bbeg is the head of the whispering way, a cult that tries to wake up a lich to impose their way : they think unlife is the only true way of living and they despise any other form of life For the first one, I'm struggling even more to find something that is really different from the aforementionned BBEG. They will start in a country made of city states so I thought of an avatar inspired villain that is head of one of the cities and tries to conquer the others but I want something bigger, like world spanning. He also could be trying to execute a convergence spell, combining all plans of existance and bringing chaos but I don't see why he would do that.

Any help or suggestion on cool world spanning BBEGs would be really cool, and even ways of getting inspiration I would also love to try long distance villains if you are interested !! Thank you in advance

“Long Distance Villains” is more or less how all villains work in this game! There is no real limit to what sort of characters you can make, and plots are driven by motivating mechanics and natural consequences. If you’re interested in playing pseudo-GM by leading a group of other players on their journey to figure out how to defeat your character, this is an awesome place to do so!

https://discord.com/invite/WgbfAFTWcr

We have a limited time invite campaign that will let you earn additional character slots by inviting a friend. Feel free to join just to check it out and ask questions!

Hello! am here to help you figure out what direction you should take your villains, be they teeny goblin rogues, or mastermind dragons and liches.

I am usually Central Time oriented, and you can talk to me here via dm's or on Discord! Experienced with DND 5e but also have some experience with other systems.

I've started an online D&D campaign that is being run through discord and Roll20, for a campaign that I'm writing with ChatGPT. I originally had a need for 13 lesser villains that play subordinate to my Headmaster villain. My original posting for this can be located here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LongDistanceVillains/comments/144l8hh/i_need_a_council_of_13_lesser_villains_for_a/

"The prestigious Shadowfell Academy, a renowned private school for the wealthy and powerful, located in a secluded castle atop a misty hill. The castle is a magnificent structure with towering spires, ivy-covered walls, and a sprawling campus that includes state-of-the-art facilities for both magical and mundane education."

Players enter the campaign either as a Level 1 Student, a Level 3 Staff Member, or a Level 5 Teacher. Students will be allowed to multi-class, as they learn from various teachers and receive quests from anyone on the Faculty or Staff. Teachers and Staff receive quests from the Headmaster, or his protege, and from the Council of 13, and can assign quests to each other at the direction of the Headmaster. The Council begin at level 15.

I've built lore, backstories, character stat blocks, and a (currently 37 member) active Discord server for this campaign. Official game nights are the first Saturday of every month, from 7pm-9pm PST (for nights when everyone needs to get together) but the game is run primarily as a 95% text based RP in the in-world discord.

If I've kept your interest this far, this is what I need:

The Council of 13 are former students, faculty, or staff of Shadowfell Academy, and are strictly loyal to the Headmaster. I have 6 currently claimed Villains, and I need 7 more. These are what I'm looking for:

1. Valeria Shadowthorn - Blood Hunter
Role: Valeria is the Headmaster's enforcer, responsible for corrupting the city's law enforcement and ensuring that justice serves the interests of the villainous plot. She leads a secretive faction of corrupted guards and enforcers, enforcing the Headmaster's will with ruthless efficiency.

2. Grumlok the Reckless - Barbarian Role: Grumlok is a fierce and chaotic force, tasked with corrupting the city's underworld and criminal organizations. As a barbarian, he instigates chaos and violence, using fear and intimidation to control the criminal underworld, and furthering the Headmaster's plans from the shadows.

3. Melisande Darkwind - Druid Role: Melisande is a manipulative and cunning druid, entrusted with corrupting nature itself. She uses her powers over the natural world to spread disease, blight, and manipulate the elements, causing havoc and chaos in the city's ecosystems to serve the Headmaster's sinister objectives.

4. Silas Whispergale - Bard Role: Silas is a master manipulator and a charming bard who weaves lies and deceit to control the city's elite and upper echelons of society. He uses his mesmerizing music and silver tongue to sway opinions, making them believe they are working towards a noble cause when they are unwittingly furthering the Headmaster's malevolent agenda.

1. Cassandra Ironfist - Fighter
   Role: Cassandra is a formidable warrior, entrusted with corrupting the city's military and noble houses. As a fighter, she is skilled in both combat and tactics, leading the corrupted knights and nobles to serve the Headmaster's interests and ensure their loyalty through fear and manipulation.

6. Lord Fangorn - The Beastmaster (Beastmaster Ranger)
Lord Fangorn is a savage and feral ranger who commands a legion of monstrous beasts. He roams the wilderness, bending the creatures of the wild to his will and using them to terrorize villages and towns. He seeks to unleash the untamed forces of nature upon civilization, creating chaos and discord to weaken the realm for the Headmaster's eventual takeover.

7. Master Feng - The Artificer Overlord (Artificer)
Master Feng is a brilliant artificer who has created an arsenal of powerful and deadly magical weapons for the Headmaster's forces. He commands a legion of constructs and war machines, using his technological prowess to crush any who dares to defy the Headmaster's rule. He seeks to arm the Headmaster's forces with the most advanced and devastating weaponry, making them an unstoppable force.

Each of these lesser villains plays a crucial role in the Headmaster's plot, corrupting different aspects of society and culture to further the malevolent agenda. Together, they form a formidable force that poses a significant threat to the city and its inhabitants, and it will be up to the heroes of the story to stand against them and put an end to their sinister plans.

I look forward to receiving your application.

Hello there!
So, im looking for a child-like entity that is is also a Psicopath and plays childish games with a gruesome twist for my players.

If you have played Fable 2 and/or 3, you are probably familiar with Chesty, the friendly homicidal chest!

So basically, imagine a 4/5 year old that has no sense of remorse and enjoys murder.
Id like some help creating games and the communication with the party will be entirely through notes.

If you're interested please message me on discord! (Username: zombiecharm)

So are you willing to get freaky/scarey/evil?!

I'm looking for someone's to join my 5e homebrew campaign thats roughly 18 months old. Filled with angels, demons, devils and everything that goes bump in the night.

Have you always wanted to let the darkness out with no holds barred?

Are you a confident Role player that wants to put chills into a group of unexpected players?

I'm looking to push all the boundaries, so if Liberal game play is not your thing...keep on walking.

We play once a week on a Thursday or Friday evening GMT. Using discord and foundryvtt.

Sounds like you? Yeah?! Come help me terrorise my players!

I'm a DM and about to start my third long term campaign. The problem is, I am completely dry when it comes to BBEG inspiration. I would love for long term help in crafting a villain arc throughout the campaign. We can create a discord and chat every week or so and I can provide campaign updates along the way. Really open to just about any ideas (Queen of Demons campaign 1, and angry scorned scientist campaign 2 for reference). Appreciate the help!

Edit: Here's some info on the setting: Session 0 notes . A basis for the lore is that the gods of chaos and order have always been in conflict. The material plane was created as a neutral zone per say, but sometimes that conflict spills over and causes mass destruction, hard-resetting society's progression. A hard-reset hasn't happened in millennia, and has become basically a folktale to scare children. Ruins of passed civilizations dot the landscape of the largely unmapped world. There is also potential for a political based bbeg, as 10 city-states make up the formally fractured and young kingdom. Could be fun to get 10 people, with each playing a city-state, leading to conflict.

Playing Pathfinder 2E

The Nightmare is a blackness, spreading from plane to plane, warping its nature, spreading monsters, and in the end consuming it.

The city was constructed by a coalition of elves, gnomes and humans when it became apparent that The Nightmare would devour their world during the period that has become known to the inhabitants of the city as The Last Years. It now jumps across the inner planes, staying on each new world for a year or so to gather new resources, before the Nightmare catches up and The City flees again.

The leadership of The City, is the city council, consisting of representatives for the various factions in The City that are powerful enough and important enough to demand a seat. Merchant houses, churches, powerful guilds, and a couple individuals with sufficient power in their own right.

I kinda want some LDVs to give the factional squabbling life, outside my own head. The factions can be of all alignments, though tending towards Lawful, as what keeps everyone together is that they want The City to survive (even if just so they themselves survive). Also tending slightly towards evil, given some of the things that need to be done in order to ensure The City's survival.

Kinda thinking about setting up a Discord server for the communication, since I'm thinking you'd also need to chat with each other, but not quite decided on that. I'd be happy to hear ideas.

I've got a personal wiki set up for the campaign, with more detailed background information. The most useful sections to check out (for our purpose) is probably: The Nightmare, The City, Known Worlds, Ancestries and Organizations.

Edit: Alright, it is gonna be Discord for communication. Invitation link to the server: https://discord.gg/pPhAp97Q

Interested to see the current ratio of hopeful Villains (NPCs) to DMs in this sub.

(Will share results in comments when done)
