I appreciate the info and ideas you share. Definitely sparking my creativity and inspiring new potential durections/options to add to my world/campajgn.
I love hearing that! Best of luck
How about a desert with a long lost buried city/place? No one has been able to find it, until the heroes discover that the oases , when placed on a map, turn out to be a map themselves to the place.
As always, another good video, Bud
Love it!
One really good resource is the 3.5 Sandstorm book...
The environmental books were really good additions for both sides of the screen there with player options, along with various things about deserts that can inform anyone, and the more specific stuff mixed with monsters, traps, and more would really help with a DM.
I'd run a relatively short desert based campaign using a caravan that had to maneuver through the sands and keep on course, using the oasis' and villages to, eventually, reach the other side of it.
I loved the 3.5 splat books.
@@theGMGuideYep, though the BoVD was kind of overdone in a lot of ways that made it difficult to use for things.
Only use I got out of it was retrofitting the rules for using bones as scrolls/spellbooks when I created and was running a stone age setting.
@@AzraelThanatos I can see that
@@theGMGuideThe book of vile darkness was entirely an attempt to be as edgy as they could get away with...
To make matters worse, it was sold shrinkwrapped...I'd only ended up buying it because all of the D&D books at one store were with a buy two get one free thing, so I got several books with it that I'd wanted and it took a long while to get the one use out of it.
I'm currently working on a desert tomb. An ancient dracolich entombed by a kingdom desperate to hold the evil back. The party was hired by an archeologist, tasked with "Hey I'm studying this tomb, clear it out, yeah?"
Features include: The Embalming Chamber with a ritual door that requires three symbols (Symbol of the king, symbol of protection, symbol of the dragon) and blood. The royal guards entombed here have the symbols. Have fun fighting them!
The carvings on the walls follow the players. Watching them. Silently Warning them from proceeding. These carvings are flayed and desiccated forms of the party members themselves.
A shambling undead mound. Graverobbers that met with a nasty end.
The Mummy Lord at the end is the Ancient King, desperate to stop the release of the dracolich.
The dracolich will likely just *nope* out of there instead of fighting the party.
The brown dragon will likely have features from AD&D. It *is* ancient, after all.
Another great video with wonderful ideas! I really enjoy how you take simple ideas and give them a fantasy twist. Do you have a process for combining your ideas or do they just pop into your head?
I do have a process. I should do a video on it.
Always glad to see your videos pop up on my feed.
Even if I won't be using a desert just yet, there's always a chance! Great ideas here.
Keep up the good work!
What terrain or weather do you want to see, I'm scripting for April now.
@@theGMGuide I'd love to see your input on hills/plains. The less drastic terrain usually stumps me for random encounters or plot points.
For weather? Not so sure. Any additional thoughts on winter/cold?
@@LoneWolffanwriter can do.
two words: Dark Sun
Absolutely!!
