Feel free to adapt these features to fit your campaigns! I will continue to post homebrew as often as possible (hopefully weekly) to try and help keep this community active! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
I’m suddenly imagining a campaign loosely based on The Last of Us, where a fungal plague sweeps across the land and turns everyone into fungal zombies. For some reason, a small percentage of the infected are able to retain their individual identities, and they band together to try and rebuild and to find some way to help their monstrous brothers and sisters, while simultaneously dealing with the hatred and fear of those who survived the plague and weren’t turned.
That’s actually a pretty good idea! I might have to steal that from you to use sometime!
All my thoughts are open-source and free for use. All I ask from anyone is that they name something after me. :)
