Feel free to adapt these features to fit your campaigns! I will continue to post homebrew as often as possible (hopefully weekly) to try and help keep this community active! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
Myconid-- are these mushroom-folk???
Yep!
Fuckin fantastic; not enough fantasy makes use of fungal friends anymore; and maybe it’s just the RPGs I grew up on, but I’d swear they used to be a lot more ubiquitous
I am working on a gpt-based item generator. I’m not sure how this community feels about that, but it does generate some interesting items:
you first put some mostly optional input
then it generated the item
Unfortunately with the way gpt is available, this kind of generation costs money. Still trying to figure out how to make this sustainable as a service is there is enough interest.
This is also on gpt3 not 4, 4 would be more expensive. Gpt3 is not amazing like 4, but still has the potential for some interesting items.
Wow! Make a separate post about this its very interesting!
Thanks! I’ll do that :)
Seems cool! you should make a separate post for this though so that more people can see it
Glad y’all are interested! I’ll do that tonight!
I’m suddenly imagining a campaign loosely based on The Last of Us, where a fungal plague sweeps across the land and turns everyone into fungal zombies. For some reason, a small percentage of the infected are able to retain their individual identities, and they band together to try and rebuild and to find some way to help their monstrous brothers and sisters, while simultaneously dealing with the hatred and fear of those who survived the plague and weren’t turned.
That’s actually a pretty good idea! I might have to steal that from you to use sometime!
All my thoughts are open-source and free for use. All I ask from anyone is that they name something after me. :)
I was thinking they should have a CON bonus. Mushrooms are hearty.
