There is a valley with hills and woods to the south, a desert with wretched lands just east of it, wetlands to the west and east with flooded cities and temples, snowy plains to the northeast with a giant skeleton and tree and an impossibly tall mountain in the northwest whose peak is obscured by dark clouds.

Promptober Day 14: Stars

First thing that came to mind was a set of weird constellations that does not behave like normal stars, each with their own cryptic omen. Add them in your favorite setting and watch your players go banana trying to interpret their omens!

FRAGMENT OF EX ASTRONOMICON CINERIS E VITRI

Recovered fragments from a forbidden celestial codex. Its pages chart constellations no longer acknowledged by any sane astronomer.

Each bears an omen written in a dead tongue, whose meaning only grows more obscure the closer one comes to understanding it.

Roll d10 to see what the fragment contains:

1. The Inverted Crown: a ring of stars hung upside down."When light kneels before shadow, the throne shall remember its weight."
2. The Drowned Lantern: a cluster of stars that flickers as if beneath water."The sea forgets nothing, not even the fires it swallowed."
3. The Unblinking Eye: a single star that never moves."All things watched long enough become their watcher."
4. The Shepherd’s Hook: a curved line of stars pointing north."What strays too far will call your name when it returns."
5. The Spiral Maiden: a swirling cluster of stars that never repeats itself."Love circles until only reflection remains."
6. The Hollow Gate: two lines of stars forming a doorway."Knock, and the silence will answer with your own voice."
7. The Tethered Beast: a jagged chain of stars."Chains remember the pain of what they once restrained."
8. The Singing Chain: a chain of ten stars that flickers at different intervals."Those who sings the pattern will not notice when they stop."
9. The Mirror Bowl: a crescent of stars with one single star in the middle."Drink deep because what you swallow will learn your shape."
10. The Empty Shepherd: thirteen stars. Every year a random star is missing."Every absence tends its flock."

Unearthing the Petrified Legend

A dungeon built up around a giant petrified medusa, now crawling with malignant beings that seem to be little more than shards of stone animated by pure malice.

And of course, the MacGuffin is kept here.

Promptober Day 12: Liminal Space

Not being familiar with the genre, I tried my best but have to admit it was challenging for me. So here's for you, a Mini-Module Pitch for The Nowhere Terminal. Now with props (Yeah I got carried away a bit!)

#promptober

MINI-MODULE PITCH: THE NOWHERE TERMINAL
A LIMINAL HORROR ONE-SHOT FOR 2 TO 4 PLAYERS

SETTING
An endless, vintage looking bus terminal, with flickering lights and hazy atmosphere that exists between worlds. Part dream, part purgatory, part limbo. The clocks are frozen, the vending machines hum softly, and every door leads to another waiting room. Buses arrive, but depart when players are not looking or never do.

HOOK
The players awaken in the terminal with no memory of how they arrived. A handful of other passengers wait silently (and those who talks are very forgetful), clutching strange tickets stamped with unfamiliar destinations. Something is wrong with the light as it hums louder when anyone speaks of leaving.

Exploration unfolds in looping corridors, flickering platforms, and forgotten restrooms.

Each “area” contains an encounter that always feels a little off:
A janitor sweeping endlessly in a loop.
An announcement repeating a name no one recognizes or one of the player.
A vending machine that dispenses:
A steaming paper cup of coffee that never cools, never empties.
A folded newspaper dated tomorrow, the headlines half-erased.
A small paperback whose text rearranges itself between reads.

Players will have to make great sacrifices to get out of Nowhere Terminal.

THE TICKET SYSTEM
Each player starts with a bus ticket. Once per session, a player may punch their ticket to change the narrative: reveal a clue, alter time, or pull something impossible into being. Each punch, however, weakens the terminal’s reality. Lights falter, echoes stretch, and shadows start moving on their own. Every time a player uses their ticket, reality collapses a bit more. The station forgets it was ever real. Faces blur, announcements turn to static, and the liminal horror intensifies.

No one can tell if the next bus leads home… or somewhere far worse.

This immersive, 15-minute dark ambient music mix is accompanied by a visual of a light sculpture I crafted from diverse scrap materials, giving the Great Old One's glowing eyes a new, unsettling life.

The illustration shows an anatomical heart, the molecule structure of adrenaline and a cityscape on a black background. Everything is in red except the most of the text which is in yellow. The cover reads: Crank It Up! 2nd Bite Edition, Live Fast, Don't Die. At the bottom of the illustration there are two logos: This is Breathless, and Big BIte Games.

Always remember that others dont view your art with the familiarity you have with it. There is a weird effect that make you see your art as more boring or ordinary because you are so used to your linework, how you usually draw things, etc. But for others these are exterior to them and feel inspired.
