New blog post by Leo Hunt on the Vaults of Vaarn blog:
I run a bi-monthly feature on the Vaarn Patreon called Monster Monday, where patrons get the chance to vote on spark words, which I then use as inspiration for new Vaarn monsters. A recent vote resulted in a tie between the spark words ‘echopraxia’ and ‘pareidolia’. These mean ‘an involuntary imitation or repetition of someone else’s actions’ and ‘the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.’ For reasons I trust are obvious, these prompts got me thinking about mimics, creatures that copy something or someone else. What follows is part of the post I created for Patreon, a variety of riffs on the idea of a mimic.
Wow, first time coming across this blog. Certainly interesting and I could spend all day reading the posts instead of working. I’ll bookmark this for continued reading.
Yeah, I know that feeling. But do take a look the zines! They are name-your-own-price on itch.io and they are just great!
That's pretty awesome, the black window one in particular.
Yeah, that would be a great dungeon encounter and also "part of the dungeon itself" because of the possible translocation.
I feel like the Exemplars could be a great (maybe recurring?) NPC with a lot of potential.
yeah Exemplars could get a lot of mileage for sure!
