Well, he's the current and present villain.

The BBEG is a powerful wizard dictator who is actually benevolent because he doesn't really give two shits about the kingdom as long as everything runs smoothly, brings him spell components, and doesn't interrupt his studies.

>>46510584
A death cult that uses a recently established theory of magic to overfill the world with the magical elements, causing the reawakening of ancient beasts thought extinct since the earliest ages of Man.

I intend for the cult's designs to turn against them. Even if the old sentient beings are happy about being reawakened, they're not too happy about a possible Armageddon being triggered by the cult.

The apparent BBEG, though, is actually one of the good guys who's violently sweeping every corner of his kingdoms for traces of the cult and dangerous magical beasts.

Depending on player path it could be the head of a clan of Telmori "Wolf Men", he is the leader of a "pack" of flint spear chucking primitives and a powerful shapeshifting warrior-shaman.

Or the mother of the Orlundi brothers who steal the PC's sheep, catalysing the campaign; she is a notorious local witch, who's powers are tied to her severed human hand amulet, which hosts a rune of disorder to which she is attuned.

Keeps himself just barely alive fueled by necromancy and hate, mind has become so decrepit and deteriorated that he doesn't even fully remember why he's making all these monstrosities.

definitely has been done before but it's fun for the player's first "real" challenge/story arch.

also, does everyone on /tg/ DM or what?

I'm not the DM, that goes to my friend.

It's a homebrew 'Surivial Horror' where we are all children suffering from various disabilities in a haunted hospital but to help us we had some minor psychic abilities like sensing others emptions, talking to ghosts and the such. Inspired heavily from Grudge, Ring, Project Zero, Siren and the like.

Life kept getting in the way and our sessions were months apart so many of the plans of DM had started to fall by the wayside till we were, in game, having picnics in a near by park and instead of avoiding ghosts and entities, we'd ask the nice ghost in the next ward if they could help keep things quiet. For something that began as grim-dark, it's practically a Casper story now.

Part of the story involved Satan taking over the hospital and then turning it around into one of the best, if not the best hospital in the world. Mostly to poke fun at God as he started to save more lives then all the miracles in the world.
However the supernatural attracts supernatural and the hauntings increased since he took over.
