A cool way to play D&D, or maybe a standalone RPG. (Please DM if you plan on using this for commercial or social media purposes)
Concept:
Assemble an army of followers from across fantasy and folklore.
Categories:
Three different categories must be filled: The Inner Circle, the Agents of Darkness, and the Legions of Terror. These categories and their rules are explained below.
Inner Circle
The Inner Circle is composed of your strongest and most trusted minions.
- You may only have 7 minions in your Inner Circle
- These minions must be intelligent, capable of communication, and must possess the ability to think rationally.
- Things like Balrogs, Wendigos, or other creatures that are beings of rage, hunger, and violence are not allowed, as they would kill you instantly.
- All 7 minions must be able to fit in one room (30x30ft floor, 10ft in height) at the same time
Agents of Darkness
Your Agents of Darkness fill many roles, from the generals of your armies to leaders of
your cults. They are powerful servants, though not as mighty as your Inner Circle.
- You may only have 12 Agents of Darkness
- Your Agents must be intelligent, capable of communication, and must possess the ability to think rationally.
- You must assign 7 Agents to lead your Legions of Terror, 2 to manage production of weapons and armor, and 1 to lead the cult that worships you as their god. You must always have 2 inactive Agents to perform any tasks that may pop up.
- You may only have 1 agent that is a powerful beast (like a Dragon or Kraken)
Legions of Terror
Your Legions of Terror are your armies. They are massive hordes of creatures that
fight for you.
- You may only have 7 Legions of Terror, each with a maximum of 10,000 troops
- The soldiers in your Legions must be able to follow orders. However, they do not need to possess the ability to communicate or think rationally.
- You must always have 1 Legion guarding your Fortress.
Your Fortress
Your Dark Fortress is your base of operations, and the center of your power. Your Fortress must have a throne room. If your throne is destroyed, your armies have lost and your power is no more.
