I thought about that too - but left it unsaid. Having it be a physical liquid (what color is time?) would add additional complications transporting it. It could be heavier and liable to spillage, and so what would happen then? Simply apply entropy to everything in it's radius? Could you dump it on someone to age them?

Which is why I didn't have it full of liquid, but cruel GMs could.

Pretty cool sub, Valadaar, and pretty unique. I've never seen anything like it. Go to Comment

Elbrexian Worms

When one first catches sight of one of these worms, one might think that a giant, 3' long sausage came to life. One would be corrected when its mouth opened and revealed its bladelike jaws.

Elbrexian Worms are found only - so far - in the highly acidic waters about Vitriolic Falls. It is generally assumed that they have limited advantages outside that specialized environment, and so are unlikely to thrive elsewere. Adult specimens reach 3-4' in length and up to 6" in diameter. Their flesh is a waxy white, largely from the thick mucus that the creature exudes. The mucus is highly resistent to acids and akaline substances and allows the creature to survive in its dreadfully harsh environment.

The worms are very stupid and hunt using vibration. They will tackle anything they detect, even fellow worms, and so are normally solitary. Flesh is not common where they live, so they will take advantage of any opportunity to get it.

A worms bite is capable of removing a fist-sized gibbet of flesh from it's victim, its teeth shearing even through heavy leather. As their mouths are also exposed to the harsh acids of their environment, the mucus is also present within as well as without. Their saliva is also acidic, but not sufficiently so to provide a combat advantage.

The biggest danger these creatures pose is that their bite will typically breach defences their victims may have in place to protect them. Whether it is a coating of Elbrexian worm mucas, or acid-proof clothing, the hole caused by the bite may allow for lethal injury from the acid. Go to Comment

Molshabbreth 

 This walking cyprus tree bears terrible scars where its bark was scored by acid. He lives in the large wooded area astride the most likely route to Vitriolic falls.

Whatever warmth or empathy this treeherd might have had was destroyed by his injuries and seeing fully two thirds of his treasures forests killed by acidic waters. He does not know that the destruction was artificial - the result of the acid-laden Anur river being diverted to allow for the construction of the Bronze Keep. If he found out, he would take all measures possible to destroy the keep, possibly enlisting the help of the nearby mountain Giant tribes.

This fellow is very similar to # 2 Haun the Burning in  echomirage's most excellent 30 Treeman submission.

Update: Another half baked idea. Go to Comment

Update: Add a vile necromantess.

Some kind of uberhorror as well. Go to Comment

Some of them are a bit too high fantasy for me, but it is a great list, plus I like doggies!

Watch out for those retrievers. Go to Comment

I like the idea of 30 Dogs, it's quite brilliant IMHO. I look forward to what the others come up with. Go to Comment

Val this is awesome. I always wanted to write 30 Dogs but you beat me to it :) Now I have to go find that half-finished, fantasy canines, Word Doc. I'm adding 5 breeds!

Some great ones here! Good variety. Blackmaw Pincher, Ustianii Gear Dog, Balsavian Sniffer, Black Osswathing, and Seyaardian Retriever being my favorites. Imp Terrier is gold!

I like that these breeds are 'fantastic', but not overly so, retaining some verisimilitude.

To me, this is what a 30 is all about! Go to Comment

This has been so over looked, but it has always been right there. For so long the only breeds of dog gamers had were hunting, war and hell hound. While I am with Manfred in that these are too high fantasy for my taste, developing game specific dog breeds that would be endemic to the gaming universe is a great idea and a well executed post to boot.

I think this post if fine the way it is, why would 15 more dogs make it that much better? If you have done good ideas, isn't that enough? Do you often feel that lists are padded just to make them nice round numbers? I think the forces of convention are getting a little restrictive. Go to Comment

Thanks!
Though technically I didn't label it a 30, both because I didn't have 30 ideas I was happy with. I could have filled it with 30, but they would have been filler. So, I posted it as is to attract additional entries. Perhaps if it hits 30 I'll rename it and you could revise your vote :P

Oh my, I DO like this one. Go to Comment

I'm gonna agree with Murometz on this one. Spectacular in every way. Only giving you a 4.5 because it's only half of a 30! Well done, and I hope you add more to this post soon. Go to Comment

Magic Items:

A Bag of sunshine

This magic sack of brilliant yellow fabric can be used only once. When opened, a blast of light completely equivalent to daylight will blast out, and unless the holder immediately closes the bag, a sun-like sphere will float up and out. The sphere is only 1' in diameter but radiates sunlight to a radius of 1 mile unless blocked by terrain. The sphere will levitate to up to 50' (unless stopped by a roof or the like), but is completely uncontrolled. Touching the sphere does nothing. The sunlight it emits does not grow stronger or weaken with distance - it is as warm as the summer noonday sun. Go to Comment

Well, this seems to be a bare-bones version to me. It could use fleshing out. Go to Comment
