MD 411 - The Candleman w/ Joey Royale

The Candleman appears when the darkness surrounds you and you’re in need of a candle. He’s a waxy fella with a beeswaxed mustache and slicked back hair. He has a ten-foot aura of coldness that surrounds him. His weakness is his susceptibility to melt when near a natural heat source. Half of his face is melted from a previous incident.The Candleman sells mundane and magick candles from the shadows.

Cursed Candles: Wise Wick: Green candle. When lit, it causes underbrush to grow around you. Moon Blossom: Purple candle. When lit, it causes an illusionary night. Bubble Buddy: White candle. When lit, a very niche assistant spokesperson is summoned. Cinnamonster & Spice: Red candle. When lit, it summons a horrible netherbeast to do your bidding. The Glowworm: Neon yellow. When lit, it grows into a long, twisting rope of wax that opens up a portal / tunnel. Candle ‘O Death: Black candle. When lit, kills everyone but the candle-lighter within a ten foot radius (save or die).

MD 408 - Messy Mass of Mice (M³) w/ Andre Novoa

The Messy Mass of Mice (M³) is an intelligent hive-mind swarm of undead mice and trash.

Trash Juice Trail: It leaves an infernal trail of garbage water that magically never goes away until cleaned with bleach.

Aura of Stank: Within 30 feet of M³, or its trash juice trail, you must save or be sickened. Touching M³ transfers an aura of stank onto you until the soiled area is cleaned with bleach.

Swim: It’s a good swimmer, but it contaminates any water source that it goes into.

Weakness: Cleaning products, particularly bleach (sodium hypochlorite - NaClO).

MD 408 - Terra Cotta Dream Thieves w/ Brad Kerr

The Terra Cotta Dream Thieves (TCDT) are a rock band of fired-clay monsters who rampage through a town, grabbing people and dragging them across a PPP, painting with their blood and gore.

The PPP (Psychedelic Projection Pillow): This magic item is a pillow made of rock, yet it’s incredibly comfortable to sleep on. A process of smashing a humanoid body against this rock is called ‘Blood-Painting,’ as gory sacrifices are necessary as material spell components. If one is blood-painted and dies, their ghost is locked into the PPP. Smashing a PPP returns the stolen dreams to their owner, and releases the ghosts trapped within.

Uses of the PPP are as follows:

1. Dream Projection: all of the stolen dreams and ghosts’ memories merge together in a psychedelic mélange of images and color. A target hit directly with a dream projection must save or become hypnotized.
2. Ghost Glean: When you sleep on a PPP, you commune with the ghosts trapped within and may attempt to glean information that they knew in life.

MD 407 - Scissor Pit w/ Brian Shutter

The Extreme Pogo Origami International League fights in The Scissor Pit arena, a circular brick structure that has fifteen L-shaped, platform levels that are floating at different elevations above a large pit filled with deadly implements designed to excite the audience of rich gambling fanatics that watch from above.

Each combatant is given a specialized pogo stick and its matching paper weapon. They start on the top platform and fight in a battle royale to the last person standing. Anyone who touches the contents of the pit is eliminated.

The traditional pit is filled with scissors, but sometimes they’ll shake things up by filling the pit with, roll 1d10: 1) balls, 2) slime, 3) spikes, 4) a sarlacc, 5) shredded paper (death by a thousand cuts), 6) fire, 7) turtles, 8) gelatinous cubes, 9) water, 10) syringes, etc…

MD 405 - H.O.M.E.: Sly Motherships w/ Jarrett Crader

On the top of a frozen mountaintop is H.O.M.E., the current nesting grounds of sentient spaceships called motherships. Each mothership lies hidden under the snow where it has burrowed a nest to incubate their kinderships in the cold. Nesting grounds can be found in any planet’s arctic conditions during their nesting season.

Each metallic black mothership is the size of a city, and has a birthing canal that slingshots out 1d4 kinderships at the conclusion of the birthing season. They launch out of this tube at rocket speed, flying into space before returning to their mothership.

The motherships defend themselves with a psychedelic avalanche of kaleidoscopic snow. When hit, you go on a psychedelic trip for 1d4 days. People use this as a recreational drug called S.N.O.W.

Snow Angels are a thrill-seeking hobbyist group that follows the motherships to their birthing grounds to have a big gay dance party surrounding the birthing event. They sell mag-boots specifically designed to traverse a mothership’s exterior and subdue the effects of psychedelic avalanches to recreational levels.

Kinderships are one-of-a-kind smaller sentient spaceships that can fit a crew of 2-10 people, depending on the ship’s proportions. They grow very slowly, over hundreds of years, to eventually become a mothership. They will stay with their parental mothership until they find a crew that’s worthy of them.

MD 404 - Championship Belt of the Verdant Wastes w/ W.F. Smith

The Championship Belt of the Verdant Wastes was created by a primeval nature spirit named Creature of the Green. The belt has its own ecosystem of greenery, moss and fungus that’s seen with the naked eye, but on its surface is a civilization of microscopic mushroom folk called Foos.

Like professional wrestlers and gods, the belt gains its power through devotion to the wearer. You must complete a previous level before moving on to the next level.

Level 1: The Foos worship you as their god. When you walk, a trail of lush greenery follows your steps. As The Green Walker, you can be a savoir to the wastelands.

Level 2: A crowd is currently cheering you on. Conjure vines to create a pro wrestling stadium with a ring for 24 hours. You gain bonuses for performing rope maneuvers.

Level 3: You’re currently a verdant avatar for the Creature of the Green. Grow into a 300-foot tall plant kaiju that you control from the inside like a mech.
