Don’t Prep Stories

@crumblingkeeprpg Don't prep your RPG games like this. #Ttrpg #dnd #rpg #DMtips ♬ Hedwig's Theme - John Williams

Ultimately, every game is different. There’s a time and place where this advice isn’t right. But if you’re looking to add more player involvement and agency in your game, stop prepping plot points! Do this instead and never worry about your game going off the rails again (because it won’t be a railroad).

Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality; it's a way of understanding it

Digging in the Sand

Bones. So many bones. How many people have been buried here?

You find a rusty long sword and a small, golden vulture head worth 250 gp.

Red Sand

The sand here on the edge of the sacrificial ground is loose and looks recently churned.

What happens if I dig under it?

Vulture Priest

The Vulture Priests are the enemy of knowledge and enlightenment. They seek to bring the eternal silence, the end of all things. Decay and obedience is their only god.

Immune to the Divine: The spells and powers of clerics and paladins have no effect on them.
Weapons: They frequently use wickedly curved daggers, which they use for sacrificial purposes.
Soul Clouders: There is a 10% chance that any Vulture Priest can use the sleep spell once per day. The targets are still awake, but they are beset by such a deep depression that it has the same effect as sleep. They may only watch what unfurls around them.
