can you tell us more about how you'll handle exploration, atmosphere and non-combat encounters. In my experience those factors are more important that monsters when you want to convey and evoke creepiness.

>>52576244
the party is trying to track down the cause of missing lumberjacks and sabotaged equipment.

Going to have to use fieldcraft skill and investigate sites of incidents, basically I'm ripping off The Witcher

>>52576314
also i'm thinking of encounters with native tribes that require them to take hallucinogens and go on a spirit quest

>>52576314
if you're ripping the witcher then they either ventured in a forest protected by dryads with bows or a patrol of rebel eleves slaughter them and put their skin hanging on the edge of the forest. Another option could be a conclave of druids commanding an army of treants that protect that forest.

Other than that it could either be a bruxa or similar entity.

If you're talkign about the videogames then i guess you put the same old tree guy.

Could try something like Dom4's Asphodel.

In an effort to protect their home from from human expansion, the satyr of the forest have struck a bargain with a dark god / spirit / witch but have in turn been cursed along with the forest. Their bodies slowly rot away, and when they have finally died, they fuse with the forest itself, becoming part of the trees and dirt. Sometimes, these parts may rush forward if someone gets too close to their final resting place, possibly leading others to the same fate.

Have the same man pass them twice on the way in. The first time they pass the man flashes a toothy, mischievous smile showing off his gold tooth, but the second time he passes, have him complain that blacked out and woke up with a splitting headache, and someone had stolen his gold tooth.

>>52575963
Boars that can open doors.

>>52581292
To be fair it's mostly bluster.
The beast doesn't really fuck shit up himself but just leads souls astray and lets the woods claim them.

Maybe could work in the classic "ally/quest-giver that seems to be helpful but is actually setting the party up for a big fall" role.

Also, might have a lich-thing going on with his soul in the lantern.

>>52575963
Remember that horror relies on your players wanting to be scared. They have to be along for the ride. A single person who ruins the tone will fuck everything up for everyone.

That said, focus less on monsters, and more on signs. Bloody footprints, bits of fur, a couple of loose human teeth in an odd place, strange noises. Tell your players that they can sense like something is watching them.

Use terrified npcs who are nearly catatonic in fright to crank up the fear.

NEVER make it clear what it is that is stalking them, never give it a name, never explain it's stats, just use descriptive terms.

Lastly, don't forget to use some ambient music, and have fun.

Trolls.

Trolls are twelve feet tall with arms past their knees, glassy red eyes, and toothy mouths. They have no internal organs, including bones or brains, and their mouths don't go anywhere.

Once they spot a human they'll stalk it for days, always a few hundred yards away. They try to stay concealed but they're not smart enough to do it effectively. Hints of green behind rocks when you turn around. Red eyes watching from the woods all night, never moving.

If you go into town it'll wait until you come out. They say that weird-shaped hill outside of town is a troll whose victim never came back out, centuries ago.

When they finally attack they pantomime eating the victim alive, pulling and chewing them apart while the meat just falls out of their mouths. They keep on mutilating and chewing until there's nothing left big enough to pick up and put back in their mouths.

Then they wander and wait for a new victim.

>>52575963
A strzyga (Polish pronunciation: [ˈstʂɨɡa]) is a female demon somewhat similar to vampire in Slavic (and especially Polish) folklore. People who were born with two hearts and two souls and two sets of teeth (the second one barely visible) were believed to be strzygas. Furthermore, a newborn child with already developed teeth was also believed to be one. When a person was identified as a strzyga he was chased away from human dwelling places. Such strzygas usually died at a young age, but, according to belief, only one of their two souls would pass to the afterlife; the other soul was believed to cause the deceased strzyga to come back to life and prey upon other living beings. These undead strzyga were believed to fly at night in a form of an owl and attack night-time travelers and people who had wandered off into the woods at night, sucking out their blood and eating their insides. Strzyga were also believed to be satisfied with animal blood, for a short period of time.

It is a common belief that mora enters the room through the keyhole, sits on the chest of the sleepers and tries to strangle them (hence moriti, "to torture", "to bother", "to strangle"). To repel moras, children are advised to look at the window or to turn the pillow and make a sign of cross on it (prekrstiti jastuk); in the early 19th century, Vuk Karadžić mentions that people would repel moras by leaving a broom upside down behind the door, or putting their belt on top of their sheets, or saying an elaborate prayer poem before they go to sleep.

>>52575963
In nineteenth century versions, a rusalka is an unquiet, dangerous being who is no longer alive, associated with the unclean spirit. According to Dmitry Zelenin,[4] young women, who either committed suicide by drowning due to an unhappy marriage (they might have been jilted by their lovers or abused and harassed by their much older husbands) or who were violently drowned against their will (especially after becoming pregnant with unwanted children), must live out their designated time on earth as rusalki. However, the initial Slavic lore suggests that not all rusalki occurrences were linked with death from water.[3]

It is accounted by most stories that the soul of a young woman who had died in or near a river or a lake would come back to haunt that waterway. This undead rusalka is not invariably malevolent, and would be allowed to die in peace if her death is avenged. Her main purpose is, however, to lure young men, seduced by either her looks or her voice, into the depths of said waterways where she would entangle their feet with her long red hair and submerge them. Her body would instantly become very slippery and not allow the victim to cling on to her body in order to reach the surface. She would then wait until the victim had drowned, or, on some occasions, tickle them to death, as she laughed.

Vodyanoy is said to appear as a naked old man with a frog-like face, greenish beard, and long hair, with his body covered in algae and muck, usually covered in black fish scales. He has webbed paws instead of hands, a fish's tail, and eyes that burn like red-hot coals. He usually rides along his river on a half-sunk log, making loud splashes. Consequently, he is often dubbed "grandfather" or "forefather" by the local people. Local drownings are said to be the work of the vodyanoy (or rusalkas).

When angered, the vodyanoy breaks dams, washes down water mills, and drowns people and animals. (Consequently, fishermen, millers, and also bee-keepers make sacrifices to appease him.) He would drag down people to his underwater dwelling to serve him as slaves.

>>52585330
I actually remember reading about this guy in an old, spooky children's book I found at my grandparent's house.
I remember him kidnapping a young girl to be his servant in his underwater palace made entirely out of amber (that makes me think he must have been a sea vodyanoy). Could be a nice idea for a quest.

Vodyanoys kidnap people because they're really, really fucking lonely and need somebody to talk to. Unfortunately, they're lonely for a reason. Take a salty grognard from the WHFB thread and make him three time more salty. That's the level of unpleasantness you're dealing with.

One more creepy Slavic creature: Licho (can be translated like Evilor or something). It's a tall, gaunt creature with limbs slender and gnarly like old twigs, but its most distinguishing feature is the single huge eye in its forehead. Anything that it looks at with this eye instantly turns bad. Metal rusts, wood rots, the ground becomes a barren wasteland, rocks turn to dust, water turns to poison. But the worst happens if it looks at a human. Anyone it looks at will have the worst luck imaginable, he couldn't do anything successfully, even the most routine tasks. The only way to lift the curse is to do a favour to the Licho, like kidnapping a beautiful princess or stealing some powerful artefact for it. But if you're a real Slavic hero, you could always find some way to trick the Licho and leave it cursing the day it met you.

Deadly bees bred by necromancers that build their hives in corpses. So when you're fighting a zombie and you wound one a swarm of deadly, deadly bees pour out, sting you to death, and turn you into their next hive-thrall. It's a self perpetuating, infinite army of zombie slaves that builds itself and also has the benefit of producing delicious honey... if you're a beekeeper lich.

Gotta start all big forest explorations with faeries anon.

They could lead adventures astray with lights and singing and get them lost in the dark. If your adventurers chase them and leave their camp undefended they could steal food and various other things from camp. If those harmless pranks don't scare them off have them lead the group into thorn bushes, swamps and areas with poisonous plants.
Once your party has realized to ignore them then have the lights and singing stop to introduce your scary monsters.

I fucking ADORE this painting.

There are civilised people, not ooga-booga fur wearing bone-through-septum spear chuckers, worshipping a real forest deity. The sheer paradox of the situation: People who have driven their sciences to advanced metalworking and refinement of their clothing who honour a creature as old as age itself and as powerful as the roots of the earth. There's so much you can take from this. is it wanderers from far-off places striking a bargain with a fae-lord? is it a local culture who has advanced beyond its own archaic culture but the knowledge of their origins are alive in their religion?

It's just so amazing. These people must have a daily live completely removed from the woodlands or else the infrastructure to fashion such clothing would not exist, and yet they still pay their respects to the old one. They probably won't spend another thought on it once they leave the forest until it's "mass" again, which to me makes them so real.

God I LOVE it!

I love any kind of monster that makes the players question whether it's friendly or hostile.
>Pic related
Are they hungry or just curious?
Are they being aggressive or did you just startle them?
Is their whimsical beauty designed to let your guard down?
If they should approach you, will you run? Fight? Or just wait and see what they do next?
If they begin to float away, will you follow them?

Honestly, if the old mean bear is done right it can be even more threatening than the other three.

This seems like the place to ask.
Does anyone have the "we will talk a while" copypasta thing? It was a group of spirits talking to a man and repeating they will talk a while, and at the end "We have talked a while"
I think it was accompanied by a forest creature picture

And? Who gives a fuck? It's a great picture.

>>52575963
In the deeper, darker parts of the forest, where the sun doesn't shine, the shorter trees have taken to drinking blood to sustain themselves.

The party stumbles upon groves where the trees bear the corpses of birds and small woodland creatures, and perhaps unidentifiable chunks of something larger, impaled upon the tree branches.

Whether the trees are still thirsty is up to you.

Don't focus on the monster so much as focusing on the players finding strange/disturbing occurrences left behind by the abomination. You need to build up the idea of encountering it, is terrifying. Strange noises, a distant scream, human eyesballs in the sockets of a deers decapitated skull, use your imagination to build up tension and give clues to its existence and maybe even its purpose..

No they didn't. Until after the Norman conquest the people of England all spoke an extremely Germanic language.

Old English, its still very Germanic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJA3bEt5Ojg

They English and Norse people were actually very similar. Their languages, military structure, weapons/equipment and even the ways they fought were very similar.

The only major difference between them was the Pagan/Christian thing. Once the Norse/Danes adopted Christianity in England they actually became much more accepted and the languages merged very easily.

You know you could do a whole creepy forest without a single monster if you wanted. Just make things seem very odd, whimsical, and paranoid. Things that a good DM would make signs of a monster but a better DM would use to terrify his players. Like a clearing where no birds chirp with a hill in the middle. Any explanation? Hell no, you're trying to spook em! Trees blowing in the winds, and yet they don't feel it at all.

>>52608933
I suppose that's why English is pretty much a Nordic language and not at all ah heavily bastardised version of French...

>>52608981
Modern English has a much larger French and Latin influence. You need to combine Old English, middle English, Old Norse and Dutch (Basically all the Germanic words) to even compete with French. If you combine French and Latin its more than double all the Germanic parts.

>The Twilight Woods was a forest located between the Deepwoods and The Mire. Surrounded by an eternal twilight glow, those who entered the Twilight Woods gradually lost their memories, senses of self, and minds, but not their lives. The powers of the Twilight Woods resulted in an eternal living death. Occasionally, someone would find their way out of the Twilight Woods after decades or even centuries of wandering. Such individuals, known as Death-Cheaters, sometimes recovered over time, but most remained insane, lost, and weak.

My first thought was hollows from dark souls. I'll have to check out that story though, sounds neat.

In the foothills of a mountain range there rests a series of 5 lakes fed by a mountain spring. Around the rocky shores nothing tall grows though they are surrounded by trees. An observant tracker would notice no signs of deer or other prey near it, yet paw prints of every local predator can be found approaching but not leaving. At night the full moon glints off it's surface, regardless of the actual lunar phase. No birds sing nearby though from every indication the ponds are mundane. Moving on up the mountain and looking back shows the lakes true shape, that of a massive lupine paw print old as the mountain itself.

Meeting brainwashed morally deranged cultists is always scary.

>>52588551
What are you on about? Necks are female.

Describe the area as they go to bed. Mention the tree that their clothes line is tied to. When they wake up, the clothes line is tied between tents. No tree.

Later that day, they meet a lumberjack and his wife who let the party stay in the woodshed. The next morning, the lumberjack lives alone, and, if questioned, insists he was never married. There are womens clothes on the line, though, and the lumberjack has a wedding ring on his finger.

Each night, something is not quite as it seems. Each night, it's something more and more obvious that's missing, or changed. As a DM, insist that it's the same as it was before they slept.

Then it intrudes during the day. The party climb over a tree in the road. When they turn around to pull it apart for firewood, it's gone. They lower a rope with a bucket into a well, only to notice when pulling it up that the rope has turned to chains in their hand. And the well is sealed shut.

Singing echoes out of the woods, but only the ranger, with the highest perception, hears it at first. The normally fleetfooted druid stumbles on a pothole. The warlock's darkvision is impeded.

Pass notes to your players, describing different things to what you tell the rest of the party. Each one sees or hears something slightly differently. Ask questions in some of the notes, so players are forced to pass notes back to you. Feed their paranoia by rolling after reading such a note.

Have players roll perception secretly. A loud noise one night wakes half the players at random, but the other half, including the one on watch, hear nothing. If they investigate, they have to pass a Wisdom saving check against fear to continue.

I don't know what the end is here, I just like atmosphere.

>The Heart of the Forest

>Not just a druid's overstated metaphor, but a real, living organism. The forest isn't a single organism, no, no, please don't think of this as a literal heart. Think of a forest as a kingdom with a benevolent ruler. The ruler decides where new growth should begin. He decides where a dam shall form, to water a new herd in the forest. Occasionally, he must allow a fire to spread, to destroy the vines that would choke the old trees.


And of course, when a kingdom is threatened, the King must order his subjects to war.

There are two schools of thought on children's literature.

The first is that children should read what an adult imagines children want to read.

The second is that children should read what children want to read.

The Edge Chronicles firmly fall into the second camp. The Sleepover Club and Best Horse Friends and The Adventures of Whitebread and Milquetoast fall into the first.

I did this to my players once. An ancient druid had turned an oak in the center of the forest into a sort of phylactrie and had slowly, over the centuries, extended his influence via tree roots until he started pushing up against village farms. Traveling through a semi malevolent, sentient forrest is creepier than I thought it would be.

this is Opiyelguobiran, not so much of a monster but a god or forest spirit, it is supposed to be a dog and it has a really real life story behind it that Taino people told Ramon Pane one of the monks that traveled to the new world with Christopher Columbus:

>According to Ramon Pane: “They say a certain cemi, Opiyelguobiran, had four feet like a dog and is [made] of wood, and often he comes out of the house at night and enters the forests. They go there to seek him and bring him back to the house. They bind him with cords, but he returns to the forests.”

>The Taino also told Pané that this zemi had disappeared again when the Christians arrived on Hispaniola. They had followed his tracks to the edge of a lagoon but they were unable to recover him and they never heard from him again.

funnily enough the Spaniard genocided the Taino in the following years

So the idea of this giant spirit of this old dead tribe stalking the forest at night is something that really can build your atmosphere

>>52625783
it's the atmosphere of constant threat that does the trick here. Something I learned from a couple of the games I've run is the looming threat of uncertain danger from any direction is something that well keep players nervous. Something I've also learned is that if you keep that ominous threat there for too long without developing on it your players will be too skittish to take risks or pay attention to more subtle things, so tread carefully with stuff like this.

But the noise of that note had no while ceas'd
Or the first course in the court full kindly been serv'd
When there flung in, on foal, a fearsome master,
His stature the tallest and stoutest on earth,
His body to the waist so broad and so burly,
And his loins and his limbs so long and so great,
Half giant at first they judg'd he might be,
But a man he was truly, the mightiest of mould
And the finest figure that on foal might ride.
For of back and of breast his body was big,
Yet his waist and his womb were worthily small,
And his members, each one, match'd them in measure,
full clean.


So I guess he was tall, but maybe not as giant as Howe makes him out to be there. Maybe eight or nine feet high.

I had a dream last night that's relevant. I wrote it down, too.
>Some say that you should never go fishing in the woods.
>You must cut fish into pieces. Mix with skin soft leaves, and cover with a "wicker's basket", overnight.
> Black sores appear on your shoulders, arms, legs, genitals. Sticky, fungal, oily, dense?
> When you see the shaman they paint a night scene and write your name in yellow on it even though you didn't introduce yourself. That's the sign that you'll be OK. If they don't write your name, or just a black scene, things are less OK. They tell you to Rub salt and sand info the sores. They may go away.
>Then you must leave the woods and burn any fish you've caught. Go home. >One further night of camping in the woods, and you're never seen again.

At one point the main character finds a knight and mount dangling from a parachute in tree (there are flying stone ships). Both are mummified, he's still urging the horse on, the shield's crest is of an ancient house...

*shiver*

Edge Chronicles had god tier atmosphere. Even that weird bit with the Maenad type chicks drinking the rage juice was creepy, if over the top and stupid and pandering to muscle fetishists. Why, oh why can't Diterlizzi draw MY magical realm once in a while? I just want a stylish fat Diterlizzi aeronaut girl stuffed into her flight suit with freckles and HIPS, is that too much to ask.

Monsters aren't scary. People can relate to monsters. If you want to scare the players you have to do something that sticks with them and that tickles the back of their head and that sticks with them.
I'm always a fan of the living forest where once they enter the forest begins to shift behind them slowly drawing them in. Do something fun with sound where on the outskirts they can hear birds but mention that the sounds quiet down the further they get. Maybe mention a slight humming sound as they get deeper and deeper into the forest. Have a couple of squabbles and get them really lost when they have to chase something that grabs a bag of food from them. Make them fight something that sings songs so they have to wear earplugs and then when they take the ear plugs put after they realize the humming is near deafening and they hadn't noticed. Then you can start doing really surreal things and spooking them real bad.

Mention that the grass and underbrush seems to cling to their legs as they walk through it. How the trees seem to reach over them as they walk past. How their feet feel heavy on the path. The knots in the trees seem like eyes, tracking them as they walk past. There's no wind but the trees leafs shudder as the party moves under them and they get the sense that something is following them closer and closer. Have someone trip and get a cut, and then have the blood get sucked up by the ground. Every time they try to walk in a straight line they end up in the same place.

Carnivorous trees that look and smell slightly rotten and when looked at from the right angle their bark textures make patterns that look like hungry leers.

They wait for an ambush opportunity and then use their prehensile roots and branches to drag unsuspecting adventurers into gaping, splintered maws that suddenly twist open from the bark.

Due to being, well, slightly rotten, their branches and roots aren't hard to break and they can be escaped from, but the carnivorous trees hate to be thwarted and will uproot themselves and scuttle along, stalking the party from a distance, intent on getting the specific adventurer that escaped it. Carnivorous trees are good at hiding, and the only telltale sign that one is following you is the slight stench of rotten meat in the air.

I myself am a fan of the non-euclidean forest. That is, woods that from the outside look normal and yet, the deeper you venture within, the more distorted the and illogical the geography is. First its just a little bit, maybe you just can seem to find the road you wandered off from not even 30 seconds ago, or everytime you turn around that odd tree you just won't stop running into the trees around it change positions.

But the deeper you go, the worse things get. the forest and its inhabitants become warped as pagan rituals and curses meant to defend them take control of their minds and bodies to make them one with the forests, turned soulless abominations, guardians of something dead long ago, with the single-minded intent to put you down or join them in eternal perdition.

The dark always plays in your favor, real, deep forests can get very dark, even on the middle of the day, and at night its absolute blackness. Fire doesn't even help, with the shadows of trees potentially keeping everything hidden, even if its just a few feet away.

Undead also fill the forest in great number, wether they were bandits, travelers, townsfolk, soldiers or natives, the forest has a lot of every kind of undead, as the lifeforce that pulses through the woods projects the looming shadow of death, keeping the undead bound forever, for time in the forest both sits still and courses in all directions, fast like wolves in the hunt.

The deeper you go in, the deeper the forest goes in you. Go far enough and you can never go back. Even if you survive, the forest will always be waiting, beckoning you to come back and surrender your soul.

This thread convinced me to add spooky The Beast-like wood spirits (with enough visual differences to stand out among the crowd) to my autistic worldbuilding setting.

Should the females have antlers? I can make really feminine antlers but I'm wondering if it would look too dissonant since most animals only the males have antlers.
