WE'VE REACHED DAY 31 of #ttrpgpromptober, the prompt for which is "halloween". This one's admittedly a little phoned in, but it's also blessedly short. I hope it's at least worth a smirk.

Planescape Promptober Day 31: Hollow's Eve

When you're nowhere near the light, and you only have sound to guide you, you can still hear it. Hollow footsteps beneath the streets of Sigil.

Day 30 of #ttrpgpromptober was "harvest" and I landed on an (unhinged) idea that I liked pretty quickly, but got a little off track when iterating on it. It's incomplete and messy but it's got a pretty wacky pitch that I'm excited to revisit!

Flowers from the timescape, the perfect gift for Day 29 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! #promptober #drawsteel #flowers
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #29: Flowers Prismatic Bouquet Consumable These vitreous flowers shift and twist in your hand, eager to be freed from the petty grasp of causality. Keywords: Psionic Goal: 45 (yields 3 flowers) Agility, Intuition, or Presence Source: Texts or lore in Axiomatic Item Prerequisite: Crushed petals from a large psiolet Effect: As a maneuver, you can pluck the petals from one flower in the bouquet and scatter them up to 5 squares away, creating a 3 cube of glittering light. Each ally in the area can teleport a number of squares up to your highest characteristic score. Each enemy in the area takes damage equal to twice your highest characteristic score. You choose the damage type from acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison. The petals then crumble into sparkling dust. Jonas Tintenseher Powered by Draw Steel

Had no big ideas for "flowers" for day 29 of #ttrpgpromptober so I just made a series of little prompts for inventing a Plot-Critical Flower. Had fun playing with ordering of prompts, choice structure, and attempting slightly more poetic language

Paying a little tribute to a personal favorite with Day 28 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! #promptober #drawsteel #gods #goddesses #athena #aegis #greekmythology #phaedros
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #28: Gods/Goddesses Aegis of the Protostrategos Leveled Treasure The bronze shield of the general of the gods holds an echo of her supreme strategic intellect, striking fear into the hearts of all those who stand against you. Keywords: Magic, Shield Goal: 450 Might, Reason, or Intuition Source: Texts or lore in Phaedran Item Prerequisite: Bronze shavings from a divinely blessed forge, a token from a monster you negotiated with 1st Level | Promachos: While you wield or carry this shield, you gain a +3 bonus to Stamina. This Stamina bonus adds to the Stamina bonus granted by other treasures. Whenever an enemy makes an opportunity attack against you, your speed increases by 2 until the start of your next turn. Additionally, adjacent allies can use you as cover. 5th Level | MARATHON: The shield’s Stamina bonus increases to +6. Whenever you make a strike as part of the Charge main action, for each opportunity attack you triggered during the move, you gain 1 surge that can and must be used for that strike. Additionally, whenever you or a hero with you successfully stops combat and starts a negotiation with an NPC, that NPC’s starting interest increases by 1. 9th level | Gorgoneion: The shield’s Stamina bonus increases to +9. Whenever an enemy makes an opportunity attack against you, they become frightened (save ends) after the strike. Additionally, all NPCs are influenced by your Renown during a negotiation.

Forgot to post Day 27 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! Went back and forth over this one but here's how it ended up. #promptober #drawsteel #dreams #nightmares
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #27: Dreams/Nightmares Dream Domain Domain An additional domain option for censors and conduits. Dream Domain Piety and Effect Piety: You gain 2 piety the first time in an encounter that an ally within 10 squares uses a heroic ability. Prayer Effect: One ally within 10 squares of you gains 1 of their Heroic Resource. 1st-Level Domain Feature Dreamwalker When you sleep, your spirit wanders, allowing you to visit other creatures’ dreams and receive portents about the future. During any respite, you can choose a creature you know to receive a short message or omen in their dreams the next time they sleep. If the chosen creature is also taking a respite, they gain an edge on the project roll for any downtime project they undertake during the respite. Jonas Tintenseher Powered by Draw Steel

Day 28 of #ttrpgpromptober has the theme "Gods/goddesses". My partner suggested I try making something akin to Polaris' ritual phrases for conflict resolution, which I thought was a good fit for undying gods. Also, I've been playing Hades II 😅

A game of storytelling and negotiating for 3-5 players. Heavily inspired by Polaris by P.H. Lee as well as the depiction of the ancient Greek pantheon in Hades II by Supergiant Games.

As usual this needs some work, but my idea for Day 27 of #ttrpgpromptober: "Dreams/nightmares" felt like I was back in a groove! It's a generic campaign supplement for interludes where a PC dreams about future adventures and plays against their GM

For day 26 of #ttrpgpromptober ("Trail cams/found footage"), I made something a little bit obvious, but with a twist around playing with spacial consistency within the narrative. This one's pretty unfinished but I think there's a neat idea or two.

And here's Day 26 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel, maybe the most tangential from the prompt — but still an idea I liked! #promptober #drawsteel #trailcams #foundfootage
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #26: Trail Cams/Found Footage Prismacore Viewfinder Consumable A security device invented in Ordos, designed to hamper assailants and intruders until they can be neutralized. Keywords: Psionic Goal: 180 Reason or Presence Source: Texts or lore in Axiomatic Item Prerequisite: A chunk of prismacore charged with psionic energy and authorized by a UNISOL quartermaster Effect: You can deploy the viewfinder on its tripod as a maneuver. While deployed, the psionic crystal inside records the neural patterns and nerve signals of nearby creatures. Whenever an enemy ends their turn within 10 squares of the viewfinder, you can use a free triggered action to target them with the crystal. Choose one main action, maneuver, or move action that creature used on their turn. They must repeat that action on their next turn if at all possible, including spending the same amount of Malice and choosing the same targets. If they can’t do so, they become dazed (EoT) instead.

Day 25 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel slipped my mind, just like Bigfoot evades me every day. But here's my Appalachian contribution! #promptober #drawsteel #cryptids #mothman
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #25: Cryptid Wings of the Nightseer Leveled Treasure This tattered, midnight-black cloak flutters gently in an invisible wind, adding large insectoid wings to your silhouette. Keywords: Magic, Neck Goal: 450 Reason or Intuition Source: Texts or lore in Kheltivari Item Prerequisite: Scales shed from a thousand moths, the hair of a dead oracle whose last prophecy never came to pass 1st Level | RED EYES: While you wear this cloak, whenever an enemy within your line of effect makes a Strike that targets you or any of your allies, you can use a triggered action to impose a double bane on the power roll. Additionally, you can’t be surprised, and you can fly. If you don’t end your turn on the ground, you fall. 5th Level | MOONBLESSED: Whenever an enemy within your line of effect uses an Area ability that targets you or any of your allies, you can use a triggered action to allow one target of the ability to shift a number of squares equal to your Reason or Intuition score. If that target ends this movement beyond the distance of the triggering ability, they take no damage and suffer no effects from it. Additionally, you no longer need to end your turn on the ground to avoid falling. 9th level | FUTURE IMPERFECT: Once per combat round, you can use a triggered action as a free triggered action.
