I didn't know IKEA made religious artefacts.

#Toledo #Spain #travel #RPGhook #StoryIdea #writing #HeistMovie

An elaborate decorative piece of religious iconography, known as a monstrance. Silver, but mainly gold, a delicate arrangement of intricate pieces, towering some eight feet tall.The highlighted text reads:
Although a highly complex piece, it can be dismantled almost entirely thanks to the systematic use of pegs, screws, nuts and pins to assemble the main elements. These are inscribed with numbers and letters, making it easy to reassemble the monstrance in the correct order.

Your party's tracker finds some very confusing trail signs.

#RPGhook #ttrpg #dnd #WritingPrompt #writing

Along one side of a line of trees, we see bear prints. Along the other side we see human footprints. After the prints meet, there are only bear prints continuing.

Your characters enter a room. It appears to be empty.

#RPGhook #ttrpg #writing #dnd #AmWriting

A perfectly pleasant sitting room. There is definitely no dog in the fireplace. Absolutely not.

Your characters come across something very ordinary that has been given an extraordinary amount of attention. There's no one around to explain it.

(stone arrangement art by Jon Foreman)

#RPGhook #WritingPrompt #AmWriting #writing #ttrpg #rpg

Rocks collected from the seashore, arranged in a spiral, but the spiral has layers of larger to smaller rocks. The effect is mesmerising.A square made out of different coloured rocks from the seashore. They have been arranged diagonally according to size.A circle of rocks from the seashore. The larger rocks are at the bottom. Carefully stacked on top are a series of smaller stones. Each stone is a distinct colour from the others in its stack.

What are the magical properties of this purse?

(Rat Purse c1900s, possibly for Lacloche Freres, Paris)

#ttrpg #RPGhook #dnd #writing

Rat legs dangle from the bottom of a round, chain mail mesh. The top of the purse is a solid piece shaped as the arched back of a rat, with the head to one side and the tail at the other. The red jewel in the eye makes it look creepy as fuck. Probably a French design by Paul Frey, or taken from such a design.

Your character believes they have communicated effectively. They have not. Hijinks ensue.

Are you on X?
Yes!
Cool! What's your handle?

We meant different things.

Your characters encounter a small group of people. Something about them is not quite right.

(Scottish sculptor Philip Henry Christopher Jackson)

#RPGHook #ttrpg #dnd #WritingPrompt #AmWriting #writing

The figures are made of black iron with pale, white faces. They are sculped as if wearing black robes that invoke vaguely religious overtones, with elaborate head pieces and a severe aesthetic.Three figure similar to before, but highly elongated. Their faces are covered, and one has their pale, white hands ungloved.As the previously, but the figures are standing in a wooded area.

Your characters come across an artifact that isn't from around here.

Eberron Character Idea:
You are a plasmoid warlock. You woke up with a shattered memory in the Mournlands. You remember being human, but it’s all hazy. You don’t even remember your name, but as you collect yourself, you remember being strapped to a medical table being experimented on by… someone… #dnd #rpgHook #eberron #ttrpg #characterIdea

The locals outwit your characters.

A springbok leaps a net, but a man in a safari suit and pith helmet get entangled. A line of people behind are banding drums. 

Confused by the loud drums, Roy is flushed into the net.

Your characters must question a druid, but they are in wild-shape and indistinguishable from the rest of the large group of animals they're with. Those animals might respond poorly to one of their number being singled out.

#RPGhook - Your full plate armour is enchanted to look like a chainmail bikini.

#ttrpg #rpg #gaming

A person in full plate armour questions the effectiveness of something that looks like typical fantasy female armour. Turns out it's also full plate armour, but painted to look like fantasy armour.

Eberron Hook:
A group of bandits have been terrorizing the countryside with a terrifying weapon: the still functional head of a warforged colossus. The bandits are able to use the head’s Incinerating Beam, to devastating effect. They must be stopped. #dnd #eberron #rpgHook

Incinerating Beam (Recharge 5-6). The colossus fires a beam of light in a 150-foot line that is 10 feet wide. Each creature in the line must make a DC 26 Dexterity saving throw, taking 60 (11d10) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature reduced to 0 hit points by this beam is disintegrated, leaving behind anything it was wearing or carrying.

The party is hired by House Cannith to look into a rash of disappearances of high-ranking or otherwise talented members of the House. Investigation leads the party to believe they were all kidnapped by warforged, possibly following the Lord of Blades.

Eberron Hook:
A mass of Siberys shards orbiting Eberron have coalesced into a massive object, and in a brilliant streak of yellow flame, fell to the ground. All manner of organizations have now set out to be the first to claim the ‘find of the century.’ #dnd #eberron #rpgHook

D&D Hook:
A purported miracle drug has been exploding in popularity thanks to an incredible efficacy as a cure-all. The party is hired by a merchant to go straight to the source to purchase a large shipment.

D&D Hook:
Every few years, a bloody battle royale is held in a secret location. It’s a fight to the death, but whoever wins wins a veritable dragon’s hoard of treasure. But there’s a dark secret behind this already-brutal contest: the hosts, as part of a devils’ bargain, provide the contestants with hellfire blades, meaning those that are slain have their souls sent to Avernus to be reborn as unwitting devils! #dnd #ttrpg #rpgHook
