While I enjoyed this creature I don't feel it's really needed in a game. The environment itself is what is causing the danger, and it does not need to be guided by some hungry foce. In a way I think the lack of rhyme or reason is what makes it more terrifying, that it is not something that can be killed or controled.

These not only make great 'rewards' but I can see them being added to any dungeon to give good ambieance.

66. A white powder that looks like sugar. It's dandruff. 

67. A silver-plated deluxe nose-hair trimmer. For the classy villian.

68. A small portable torture instrument such as a 'pear'.

69. Scabs, lovingly collected since childhood.

70. Silk sheets stained with... do you really want to know?

71. Bags upon bags of hair. Not scalps, just cut hair of all colors and lengths.

72. A rat mounted on a stick. 

73. Used bandages. 

74. A tin of worms. 

75. A worn wooden scuplture of a naked woman. It's well oiled. At least you hope what is leaking out is oil.

I have one major problem with this submission: It reads like a page out of TV tropes, and if you have ever been there you know what I mean. CURSE YOU!

This is very well thought out, and the idea of hiding some secret malvolent scripture and spells in plain sight has great plot potential. Parasites have that unnerving factor to them, this is a great addition to a horror game. I can't think of anything that could make this better.

My sentiments lie with Val, the core idea is good but I don't think it's as well thought through as it should be. Which is a shame because it would be really neat to have a guild dedicated to traps, mazes, and secret doors. They have a lot of potential for hooks for finding new/old things, developing new technologies, corporate espionage, etc. so to only have two one of which is recruitment is kinda lame. Go to Comment

I laughed so hard thinking about this in a call of cthulhu game. Go to Comment

I like the fear factor of this particular 'creature' though I am not sure the sort of psychological aspect makes much sense it gives it a neat alternative to shredding people alive.

I truly enjoyed every part of this. I thought it was atmospheric, moving, well contained, with an appropriate reward. It might have done with a bit of background but in this case I don't feel it was really nessecary unless this 'dungeon' was to be linked to a greater plague theme in the campaign. Players never understand that stuff anyways.

On the note of players not understanding things I could totally see my group instantly forgetting the poem or not even thinking to apply it to the entryway. I don't understand but something happens when you put the 'player' hat on that makes you completely oblivious to nuance and detail. Go to Comment

I like this, despite being a 'good' 'spider you still shouldn't mess with it.

My favorite part of the post is the little stories which follow some of the undead, which give great ideas. Each is so well described I am impressed.

This is about as interesting as big pigs can be. Go to Comment

I like this for a number of reasons. I like that it is a twist on the classic fairy tales of witches in disguise teaching the err of greed. I like that it is set up to be difficult without actually making the players resentful (because as you say, they still *have* all their wealth) and that there are a number of ways of resolving the issue. It seems like the sort of good mid-level adventure that expands roleplay. Go to Comment

*bookmarked* Fantastic work by everyone.

Tumble: this button appears to be a flower formed from several pea-sized beads. When removed from an object of clothing the beads which form the petals fall off, creating a slightly treacherous five-foot square for those who do not tread carefully. Concentrating on the button will recall all of the beads, but only within thirty feet.

The extra comments with each entry make this a very readable submission. Surely though there are more than 30 possible disasters...

Very practical, I like the added details of the old miners.

The plots are really quite good, and this small town can fit well into any game.

Very cute, Idea 1 is my favorite. I imagine the word leaking out and then dozens of people settling there and posing a real problem.
