One-Word Prompt #51 - Abyssal Layers

Hey all!

I'm working on a 20th-level adventure for my Saturday group. They're taking a "fun" trip through the Infinite Layers of the Abyss™. And while literally a hundred some layers have been detailed by Wizards/TSR, I figured I'd let the dice and one-word prompts do the talking.

Below, leave a one-word phrase in the comments. I will then combine one-word phrases in clumps of three to come up with the general theme of an Abyssal lair.

Usual rules apply:

More Monsters Poll #4 - September Monsters

Similar to what I'm doing with Dungeons & Lairs, I'm going to knock out all of the More Monsters ahead of September. That means, there will be only this one poll until next month.

Choose the two that you like the most.

One-Word Prompt #48 - Darkmantle Space Freighter

Hey all!

I'm cooking up a new science-fiction-themed adventure for Dungeons & Lairs called "Darkmantle Space Freighter." So I'm going to need about 9 different one-word prompts for this nutty adventure.

Slight adjustment to the rules... you can be anachronistic, since it's sci-fi flavored.

The rest of the rules still apply:

  • One word per patron
  • No proper names
  • Keep it clean

Help needed: please provide a quote for the site.

Hey all!

I'm writing some new copy for the website and I need some pull quotes. 

In a couple of sentences down in the comments below, would you please share the reason you subscribe as a patron. We'd love to use it on our site as sort of a "hear it from real patrons."

We're especially looking for stuff regarding BroadSword Monthly and our adventures as that will be the focus of the copy.

Thanks so much in advance! <3
