Indeed - these are cursed knives that make sense. I'm assuming that their destruction would cause anguish to their creator.

Nice job, though could use a bit more details. Like who is the Serpent of Darkness and more stuff about their history. Go to Comment

This could make for an interesting recurring villain. A knife that continues to find and strengthen a succession of bad guys, with the players not realizing right away that it is the weapon which is the real enemy.

Oh man, Demon Ticks! I hate ticks, but this sub is nice and fun. The Kudzu reference reminded me of the first LARP I went to, Endgame in New Hampshire, were we had to fight hordes of semi-intelligent Kudzu plants. Good times.

Not bad, but this feels only half done. Go to Comment

A suitable foul creature to plauge your PCs with. Go to Comment

I like the idea itself. Demons should have ticks. Makes sense to me. And of course, demon ticks should be of the properly "effed-up" parasitic variety, like these here are. Good.

It does feel a little under-done, but while adding more might the reading more enjoyable I think the idea is fully developed.  Extra points for style and the fact that I hate HATE ticks (thus I demonizing theme seems like a natural extension for me).

Agreed - I do like this, and there is room for more meat on this one.

This would be the perfect item to let your magician use, with the player of course neglecting to read all on its background. Next time he boasts about being the good guy, let someone point out the source. Fun item. Go to Comment

I agree with Manfred and Checka, this is a useful item for a RPG campaign, I hope I remember to use it.  You have here in this write up both a spring board for a plot and an interesting item that could offer player both meta game advantages and roleplaying directions.

This is excellent and can easily spawn an adventure, if not impact an entire campaign. Regres questions of scarcity amd cost I think are answered by the description. Rare and dear, given the human cost in its manufacture. Go to Comment

Altogether a good idea. A little more detail would be helpful. For example, is it expensive? Is it plentiful? Why does it shred/damage the mind? How does it change the magic as it's created? Can one magic user tell that another is dosed? How does the drug effect a psionic? Can prolonged exposure produce permanent night vision/light sensitivity? Just a few thoughts on how this could be developed further. Go to Comment

Always looking for new takes on "Information NPCs", so he fits the bill. Sub seems a bit rushed, from middle section on, but i get the gist of this character.

The good thing is, he is useful, comes with a life story so the gm can play it up, and can be used in any adventure.

My favorite part of the whole sub is this, "...without vanity; majestic as a comet". Thats effin beautiful. Go to Comment

Nice! THATs what a summary should be.

His personality does not really pop out -it feels a little resume like without what I would need to roleplay him.

I like him. A little crazy, but useful. I would like a little bit more info on some of his adventures though, and a few more plothooks, maybe. Go to Comment
