A crime syndicate is the most halfling hobby one could have
😂
The largest Theives' Guild in Sharn, City of Towers, of the Eberron setting, is run by Halflings.
I’m currently in a campaign set in 1979 San Francisco, playing a Circle of Spores Druid who manufactures and deals (often literal) magic mushrooms. He also works with local crime syndicates as a “cleaner” by composting bodies they need to have disappear. Mushrooms grown from magical races have differing side effects.
My GM and I have talked about making a list of these effects, but we just started the game so not a lot is fleshed out yet. This video is a HUGE inspiration, thank you! 🙏🏻🍄
Other D&D TH-cam's dance around certain topics like a rogue who just learned evasion. Here comes Hafling Hannah, moonwalking on screen, birds out, "we're talking about DRUGS today" hahahahaha
Awesome video. Looking forward to the rest of the series snd getting the pdf
😂 Hey! Why pander? It can be a great part of the game that no one talks about. So glad you enjoyed it!
And starts the whole thing with 'remember, drugs are bad'; which is asinine and inane. Drugs are not bad, they are morally neutral; at worst. Entheogens have been part of human existence for at least 30,000 years and there is a good case for all of civilization being a result of alcohol.
Great tips. I do see this benefiting an Eberron (Sharn) campaign. The first game of the Ignosi series was indeed great fun! I look forward to more Ignosi content and gameplay!
Oh for SURE! All of these syndicates would be right at home in Eberron!
Dang! I loved the idea of someone discussing everyone's favorite pastime from a non-scummy perspective, but I never expected the first one to be reminiscent of those very real monsters who aim to make me look like some kind of junkie. I do honestly want to create those very scumbags in a D&D world even if I end up only soloing both to fight the scumbags in the only way possible but to maybe comprehend what the hell they're thinking.
My Tabaxi Druid is a hippie smuggler that smokes a different phenotype of Catnip called "Catlick" which is like indica weed, while regular Catnip is like Satvia weed and is used in religious rituals to be closer to the Tabaxi creator goddess. It's more of a roleplay item rather than a game mechanic.
Please never stop making videos. I absolutely love your style. You're concise, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Your channel is one of my favs. ❤️
Thank you so so much! 😭
Very underrated video. I can see this working very well with some rules from the Book of Vile Darkness.
I made a few drugs for a campeign a while back and one of the characters not only decided to try every one they came across but also tried snorting the sand when they ended up on an alien plane, just to see what would happen, and if they could take it home and sell it.
😂 wow! What an entrepreneur!
If you introduce a drug syndicate into your game, the odds are never zero that your players won't want to just take over the syndicate and that's your campaign now.
I mean….that sounds fun too tho 😁
Your presentation on this topic is very well structured, easy to follow, and inspirational for creating tension and conflict in a DnD game. Naturally, every creature involved should be some kind of monster, right?
Haste potions. I always wanted to play a character addicted to the haste spell.
Following on my idea above, what other buff spells could be addictive? And how could medium level casters use them to make money?
Maybe someone with an inferiority complex who constantly uses “enlarge” to make themselves much taller? Lol I could also see people being addicted to spells that make them look better
This is awesome, would be cool to explore the line between medicine n drugs, mushrooms you cant really get addicted to but its often not used as medicine so it could be fun to have certain ones like that in dnd
I'm currently putting together a semi-sandbox Dungeon Crawl Classics game. With the tone of the game, I figure drugs and crime will likely play a part. I'm still working out the details. Doing a few twists on the usual kin, I've got the Elves being descended from extra-dimensional crystal aliens who used to rule the world as very cruel (a la Melnibone from the Elric stories) masters. Now, they're hated & feared, even though it's been millennia since they held sway. I'm not sure if I want to take things quite so dark, but I've been thinking that one of the drugs might be made from them. Essentially, some really unscrupulous person is killing them & turning their crystal essence into a powdered drug. A lot of folks might not even know that's where it comes from. That might be too harsh, though.
Whatever the case, I'll definitely be putting in stuff like magic mushrooms, because that just feels so right for DCC and it's completely bananas, 1970s van-art & black-light poster vibe.
I am going to for Saltmarsh centered campaign, played through GoS, it sucked. The only good part was the beginning-so what if those bandits in the Haunted house also controlled a few other holds around the area and crated and sold drugs. Little vials of a fermented poppy.
Good deal. Makes for good world building when a town gets infiltrated with a drug syndicate. Real world example like the law enforcement at the heart of the distribution makes it feel legit.
Next up: prostitution, child trafficking, and arms dealers! Hehe...
Thank you! For sure!
Are you still selling the ebook? The link leads nowhere and I can’t find it or you online?
I created a drug that was called blue. It came from the future in a different campaign and now is being made and sold by an elderly elven grandma apothecary who car had the formula. The name is now granny's blue. Or just blue.
Adds +2 to ac, half damage from attacks, and adds +1 to an ability check. Its powerful. But hard to find and extremely addictive... Lasts a day. Currently, one of my players has decided to help granny in distribution.. She is a fairy gunslinger that dresses like AL Capone and has two hired hands for her muscle. Thus was woven as a backstory. She is trying to bring the drug to the masses and find better distribution. No not an evil campaign... But it's a cute addition to the rest of the groups back stories... Brought an element of skirting the law. Her name is Bugsy Malone... It's been fun... Morality issues etc...
That sounds great! I love all of that!
If someone makes an undead drug kingpin named Walter Wight I will have to hurt someone
Well NOW I AM! 😂😂😂
Too much lighting on this one. It washed you out.
