DM Callus will have his vengeance!
Yes he will...on August 2nd! ;)
*is setting up a bunker to survive until September*
Do you think I need a silver or other highly reflective material to cast Mirror Hideaway, or can I polish an adamantine sheet? Either way, at least it'd be sturdier than a rope trick.
After seeing that your name really means Iron Mancer, I had to make your character a 17th Level Wizard who is a Metal specialist. You also wear a metal mask to hide your identity and some sort of scar or secret. You carry a metallic staff that enhances your power. I am not sure if you are human, or maybe something else.
You work with the miners in the northern, Latem Mountains (but not the snowy Far North) to find new sources of precious metals to be mined, and you are very good at your job. You are also hiding some sort of Awful Secret, but that isn't known since it's a secret for now. Remember all will be uncovered August 2nd...

SQCRAAAAWWWWK!!!
Hey Sharky! Aren't you TIRED of bean curd?
*suddenly and from out of nowhere, a thick rubber tire rumbles across the floor and across Chompy's snout, leaving a thick print behind as it rolls away*
*hahahahahaha*
Anyone got any nuts or fruit?
Yes, absolutely! I Googled it and found the prefect class. You are 20th Level Truenamer. You may have to convert it a bit: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Truenamer_(5e_Class)
Also, you are a 10th level Pun Magician. Just work with it. Xavante travels the lands revealing true names and saying puns that cause endless amounts of fun and mayhem. Yes, perfect!
...
I will ponder on this a bit, but you are a bard of some sort...
Actually the addition of Chompy is significant, because it suggests that this particular region is near an ocean and there are sharks there that can walk onto the land! I need stats on a shark with legs on my desk by the 9 am tomorrow morning!
By desk I mean on here and the day/time is negotiable...

Okay its beginning to get ridiculous with the bean curd stuff...but isn't that the whole point? Yes it is.
This world has Slaads and there is variety of them based on the eating of bean curbs and beans are brown (the ones I like) so that means...
This world has Brown Slaads! And there must be other colorful varieties of them too! I am fascinated to find out how the stats work for that...

** spoiler omitted ** I'm not great at monster creation, so I probably won't be doing a ground-up statblock.
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! It really is, Haywire. Of course you posted, so the addition of you suggests there are robots on this world (similar to the Warforged but not them no) so we need to address that.
Robots, as we know them, do exist there. They are a combination of technology and magic. An engineer actually makes them by putting parts together, and then a Wizard (or Mancer) gives it life using a fairly simple, yet powerful, spell.
They are used for a variety of purposes, but there's a prohibition in using them for war and killing people. Of course, that prohibition has been broken. I do see them like the Droids of Star Wars, but we can't all them that so I suggest something else.
This has been an important step forward for the Off-Topic World.

Just when we were starting to make real progress with this world, a Halfling lawyer shows up. Okay, Dan you are in and it gives us two important contributions.
First, there are Halflings on this world and second, there are Lawyers too. In fact, I would go so far as to suggest an actual Lawyer class due to their importance in this world. Is it on a D&D Wiki somewhere?
You just can't make new classes Willy nilly!!

Lawyers on this world are called Dannisters. Halflings have a racial proclivity towards all things legal, some form cults of Asmodeus and it does not help matters much that they (a) have a significant racial bonus to Bluff, Craft (cloth), Craft (clothing), Perform (oratory) and Profession (barrister), and (b) often monopolize the more lucrative legal professions in a given community as a family enterprise. Off-topic World halflings are often LE, LN ... or worst of all, Lawful Evil Neutral.
The epic stage drama Halfields vs. McJoys is based on real events a few centuries back when an epic series of court battles escalated into a full-on legal war across several nations' court systems that only occasionally erupted into fireball duels between overly zealous attorneys.
Edit: Lawyer class, option one. Shouldn't take much to convert.

The ideal lycanthropy for a Dannister is, of course, wereshark. Or a squirrel-fox (scroll to near the bottom).

Yes, this is really brilliant actually. The word Barrister would be great for lawyers in the Off-Topic World. I will state that Dannisters are what Halflings call their lawyers on this world, based on he most well-known Barrister Dan who literally wrote the Tome of Laws that they all follow today. He filed a lawsuit against the Gods and won.
I love the whole idea of Barristers with those white wigs they have to wear. I need to Google that.

BeanCurdia...shorten to simply Curdia...a foremost military power on the OTW. BeanCurds are the favorite food there. The Curdians would be a very militaristic society who love waging wars. They also love to sing, eat and drink all at once. I imagine their leaders are all Generals, Admirals, Captains, Commanders and all that.
I can see Shark-Men being a serious problem and Barristers being the most powerful class oddly enough. Not in a fighting way, but in a courtroom. Yes, I see that now...
Edit: there are also Solicitors too who are a more powerful and evil type of Barrister...I think...

It's obvious that I really need to set fire to some bean curd. Flamin' Dip Catapult Ammo.

If you feel you need to, then go ahead. I need a way to make some maps so I can put in one. I see you flying out of a mountain cavern and then shooting out a flaming breath of fire onto those fields of bean curd. I actually see that in my mind...
Edit: Then put those said maps (and these fascinating characters) onto a free website dedicated to the OTW.
Finally here is a map for the OTW, but it's really a map of the Great Lakes Region in the USA. Substitute the word Seas for Lakes and you get the Great Seas region of the OTW. I believe we have one confirmed nation, Curdia, which for obvious reasons should be Wisconsin on the map. Is the capital of Curdia in the same location (with fantasy versions of their names) as Green Bay, Milwaukee or Madison? What about the fantasy version of Chicago, Illinois? These questions have no answers yet, but they must be answered before the Apocalypse on August 2nd, 2018.
The Map below:

*paddy paws into the thread and starts miaowing*
Okay, Mort the Meower, you are in. You are someone's personal animal companion. A character on the OTW needs to claim you as his or her own. Maybe you belong to a Druid? Maybe to a Ranger? Maybe to a Summoner? The list is long...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Chicago is the center of the Dannisters' holdings. Lawyers and mobsters, all part of the 'hobbit mafia'. ;)
*volunteers to be Nobody's Home animal companion*
He likes cats so he shouldn't be using me as a meat shield.
You are right, Mort. It is downgrading to you and other animals to say you need to be someone's companion. You can just be Mort in the OTW. I would make you a Ranger or Druid, but really anything is possible. Heck, you could be a Summoner too. Whatever you want to be.
Chicago is the center of the Dannisters' holdings. Lawyers and mobsters, all part of the 'hobbit mafia'. ;)
I agree, Com Rade, but change the name of Chicago to something more fantasy-like. Halfings should be greatly feared there.

Shytown. :P
Actually I'd key myself in as a ranger/wizard to eldritch knight. Super unoptimized but what the heck.
Synthesist are a tad too OPed =P
I am liking the Ranger/Wizard to Eldritch Knight. You have the hunting ability plus Druid and Arcane spells. Your claws and teeth are your weapons. Its all good, Mort.

That's really good! It is fantasy-like and it echoes the so called real world. Yes accepted.
How convenient!
How convenient!
Yes it is, Church Lady, yes it is.
How convenient!
But as I ponder it, you have got to be the head of the Church of Curdia. An 18th Level Cleric, you are the proud Patriarch of the church and you make everyone go to church once a week whether they want to or not. You are far more concerned with following the strict rules of the church than actually helping people, as the holy tome demands. Yes...Lady Church...that is you...
I will make a addition! I will change Green Bay into Grey Bay. I don't know why I want it to be named that, but perhaps its due to the grey waters of bay that the city was named after. Perhaps I like the sound of it. Take a look at the official "Great Seas" map region and see it you agree. We need to get ready for the Apocalypse on August 2nd, and that's not a bad thing. The word means a revealing of something...

Ok I need to make myself a home. It will be in the heart of the forest, built upon around the trees, among their branches and the place will be lit using ioun stones with permanent sky blue continual flames on. My home will be situated near a series of rapids so that I'll have a pool to swim in and fishies to eat.

If you look at the Map, your home can be in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. However, you will have to make a fantasy-like name for the city/state (subject to my approval of course). The OTW is an alternate Earth in another universe made up of the imaginations of ultra-powerful Creators. That's us. :)

Below is a link to a better map of the Great Seas (Lakes on Earth) Region. The inch is actually 200 miles instead of 100 on the map scale. Several changes have been made so far. Chicago is Shytown, Green Bay is Grey Bay, Wisconsin is Curdia, and I am re-naming Lake Superior to the Superior Sea. Let's keep the work going before the Apocalypse on August 2nd. The release of the Pathfinder 2ed on August 2nd is a good thing and the word Apocalypse gets a bad rap.
https://lethallima.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/the-great-lakes-corn-belt-re gion.png
The region cut off by the seas is sparsely inhabited, due to it being a region with several rifts to the elemental planes that results in wildly varying weather. Some scholars believe a rift to the Plane of Water may have helped form the seas themselves.
Very, very good! I would not have thought of that. The extreme weather could be a sign of the coming Apocalypse. Change is coming!
Also, I will change the name of the Appalachian Mountains on the Map below to the Metallic Mountains due to the vast amounts of precious metals there and I am also a super fan of Metallica, which is the greatest band in the world, so the name sounds cool to me. Lots of iron there too.

The greatest cartographic wizardry has produced this map of the world As It Was Before.
Instead of the Metallic Mountains perhaps the entire range is known as the Smokies, so named after the real life Great Smoky Mountains. IRL the subrange of the Appalachians has a special predilection for heavy fog due to Weather Reasons.
In this world the entire range shares this moniker for a variety of reasons. The most notorious of these is that the range serves as the lairs for at least two great wyrm dragons of fell power and foul temperament.
In the north the dragon known only as the Stealer has long held dominion over the dwarven mining communities around Slagsburg, PA. Some say that its scales are literally made of iron, others whisper of its legendary magical prowess. Only the desperate and the arrogant dare to prowl the forested mountains to find its lair.
At the southernmost end the other known great wyrm lairs atop Stone Mountain in Georgia. Centuries' worth of generation after generation of goblyn clans serve the formidable dragon known to the world as Blue Smoke Cloud. While the general location of her lair is well-known, surviving the process of narrowing down its precise location has yet to be achieved.

Yes this is awesome! I like it. Let me try the direct link below for the Map using the formatting:
I will accept the name the Smokies, because it sounds cool and Slagsburg, PA...but there should be a fantasy version of Pennsylvania. I also want to add the goddess Metallica, who is a deity of music and precious metals.
Looking at The OTW Map I can see that some of the Real Earth cities translate very well into a Fantasy World. For example, Xenia, Ohio definitely has a cool name and could be the name of a goddess or heroine.
Davenport, Iowa, is a good city name too. I see it named after someone called Daven, and he could be some sort of legendary hero from the ancient past.
Kingston, Ontario has the obvious great name for the capital of a kingdom of some sort. Not sure yet, but Ontario could be easily converted to something like...Antaria or something...Antaria sounds ok.
The Lake of the Woods up north in Canada absolutely has a fantasy feel and it could be a region of druids and the worship of the Lady of the Lake.
The Ozark Plateau speaks for itself and it could be a region filled with adventure.
