Thanks for the comments, all :D
There seems to be good points and bad points to this sub, but at least it's creating a bit of thought and ideas. Go to Comment

Superb! Go to Comment

This is the sort of vibe that I had hoped to achieve with the Swollen Shadow Codex, but never quite accomplished. Green with envy, I award you a 5/5, Loved Firelight's Burden though the scene with the mogryloth reminded me of the church scene from Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

Also, linked the two suggested subs and converted the URLs to hotlinks. Hope you don't mind. Go to Comment

Just my two cents; and only because I have been pondering the definition of a dungeon adventure, this sub has many of the basic requirements for being a dungeon. I must list first that I do not consider subterranean as a prerequisite. First of all, it is dark and builds a atmosphere of isolation and claustrophobia. The sun isn't going to come out. Secondly the PCs become isolated from the outside world, and while there can certainly be locales in the town they can uses, such as arsenals, castles, and the like, I would guess that the Town Eater is intelligent/aware enough to not go after towns laced with magical weapons, potent mages and the like, not unless it is really really sure of itself. It is technically survival-horror in the vein of games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, which are virtual dungeons in and of themselves.

As I said before, just my two cents. Go to Comment

This sort of thing might put people off living in towns. Go to Comment

Gonna read this!

Bump! Go to Comment

This vaguely reminds me of a dungeon done by AG a while back...I think it was a house actually. Caused a big issue. *shrug* Good job with it. Go to Comment

Great Work, SE! (again)

Great concept! A town swallowed by a cloud, and I love the "Scenes". Great format and fun to read!

Oh and way to work in the Mogrolyth!

I wont join the 'dungeon or not a dungeon' debate, because its just not that important to me. Its a great idea, full of plot hooks and possible spin-offs. I dont even look to see what category a post is under. I just read them. :D Go to Comment

This is an excellent adventure idea that can be readily changed to fit almost any setting. I think there has even been Dr. Who episodes that have a similar theme - i'm talking old, single-digit Doctors.

FLAWLESS VICTORY

I love it. I don't know why there is any discussion of whether it is a dungeon or not, it doesn't really matter as far as I am concerned. All a dungeon consists of is a series of encounters based on a premise in a semi-enclosed area. Check check check. The scenes are fabulous, the creature is awesome and this is definately a fantastic game-ender with some unique aspects.

What they said; interesting prose as the idea itself.

Actually, he (it?) could actually create several religions to support him. What are his goals besides survival? Seems he likes to be worshipped, though he is in no hurry and bides his time. Does he want to be corporeal permanently, or merely now and then? Go to Comment

Nicely written and intriguing idea.

Centuries from now, this creature, who knows what is in the mind of people, could be in the "perfect place" to truly change the world.

Perhaps it will instrument the demise of other deities.

Perhaps it will decide that it will run society.

Perhaps someone will get a clue and lock it in a box, only to be opened centuries, if not millienia later, a modern world to play with... one not used to magic. Go to Comment

Sensible questions, Manfred: Though it's free for the GM's interpretation for any plot they may want to make, I always imagined that what Axtrami wishes to do is to test mortals - push their limits and see how far they can go. I thought of it as him experimenting with the world, and the mortals are the lab rats.

The only reason he strives to get 'worshippers' is that is strengthens him; increases his hold in existence. His main goal isn't to become permanently corporeal, and he's just as content to remain within dreams and thoughts. The only thing his appearance in the physical world would mean is that there is a lot of devotion or belief around, and it's just a gauge of his hold on reality. Go to Comment

Splendid. i love the story of Xartina, and her vengeance. It seems natural that Axtrami is this sort of being/entity rather than the classical God on High surrounded by lesser gods and servants. Top marks! Go to Comment

I can definitely appreciate it and the effort put into it. Very nicely incorporated into the current knowledge base. Go to Comment

What impresses me most, is the consistently beautiful prose which permeates this entire codex!

(Also what Scras said).

I've been awaiting Axtrami's Emergence in order to get the overall divine perspective on the Ouzquin Dremorix. I wasnt dissapointed.

What a haunting, intense, and richly developed race and society!

I said it before and I'll say it again. The Children of Glass should be packaged and marketed ASAP! Go to Comment

Awesome! Go to Comment

I enjoyed the Glass shifting crazies from the beginning, and this tops off a great creation. It meshes very well with the tone and the style of the other pieces, and actually makes a lot of sense. It seems that someone like Axtrami might change his name so that he could be worshipped by multiple organizations, but that's just an opinion. Go to Comment
