Can you smell what the Roc is cooking?
Physical description: The roc is a dull coloured bird, standing roughly 20 feet tall, with a wingspan of roughly 52 feet, i don't know about birds to speculate weight. but a lot. It;s coloured like a morning dove, with some whites, greys, and beiges. large hooked beak of a raptor, with bone sheering claws. Basically if this bird wasn't bigger then a Buick, it wouldn't be very impressive.
Information: The Roc, commonly spelled Rukh, is a diurnal bird of prey, largely noteworthy of it's size. Native to north eastern africa and west asia, they are an impressive hunter. Capable of downing elephants, There is not much these creatures will not attack if they are seen as food. even the rare van has turned up in nests. As with most birds, their true motives can't be discerned but by large they don't seem to target humans directly, and combined with their slow birth rates, have been left alone. However, as powerful creatures, they must be observed, and prepared against.
Tactics advice: Like all birds, they have a hollow skeleton, and bones that break relatively easily. however, most fire arms short of anti material rifles, don't seem to have much effect. it is best to stay out of sight until they pass if you are honestly concerned about your pet elephant.

MRE: Goblins
Goblins will likely be my next single monster type guide. because well, everyone likes goblins, right?
Goblins will be largely nocturnal creatures, of slight build, but usually malicious intent. Not necessarily a man killed, but they certainly don't' shy away from it.
They aren't earth based, but have been here for so long they have built up a tolerance to iron. they still don't like it, but it just causes pain, so outside of the gremlin, planar origin is unknown, however due to the gremlin it is assumed they are originally fey, expelled for unknown reasons.
Several types of goblin come to mind: Standard Goblins (small green nasties), Black goblins (larger, maybe 3 feet tall, stronger, a touch smarter, but still a dumb pack animal), hobgoblin (tallest of the true goblin standing an impressive 4 feet tall. almost human intelligence, nasty as heck, can actually learn tactics and fighting), bugbears (super nocturnal hunters, probably the scariest, smaller packs, hate light),Brownies (foot and a half tall, tend to live like mice, smart, clean up places but steal food, vicious if discovered), gnomes (annoying little creatures, more human liek the the others, less carnivorous then others, probably the smartest of the lot) and gremlins (smallest goblin, hates technology, clearly fey in origin) as well as the redcap mutation (appears in true goblins, is a kind of psychosis with noticeable physical mutation, making them far more aggressive)
The true goblins, as they will be called are the standard goblin, the black goblin, and the hobgoblin. each are pack animals, primarily carnivores, both hunters and scavengers, hunting things despite the size. hobgoblins tend to act more orderly, and have been known to be able to use complex weapons, though not maintain them. even reloading a rifle can be too too much work. normal goblins are typically weak, but come in large numbers. sharp features, claws, and teeth, make them notable. though weighing maybe 20 pounds mean that a few people could easily fight off a dozen or so with little issue. however, sometimes they come with knives, and pointed sticks. that is when they become dangerous. black goblins are bigger then normal goblins, weigh a more heavy 40 to 50 pounds, and come in about the same number. they are also braver, and willing to fight to the death.
Bugbears are strictly night creatures, large owl like eyes, with bat like ears and nose help enforce this. sharp teeth and powerful claws help them take down prey. They also tend to be furred. short but shaggy hair covering most of their body. females getting to be as large a 4'6 and weighing up to 150 pounds, they are no simple matter. luckily they tend to only hunt in groups of 6 or so. they also tend to make more bird like sounds, from barn owl screeches, to loon like calls, they able to confuse prey and then move in and brutally kill whatever. able to take down deer, and even the lucky elk.
brownies are small creatures,maybe a foot tall, skeletons similar to mice allow them to hide in walls and small holes comfortably. taking shelter in homes and such they will often 'help' at night by cleaning up, returning objects to where they observed them earlier in the day or most frequently, and then will reward themselves with food, either left out, or stolen. they however are very secretive and if discovered may turn violent. however, if not atacked they will often try to make amends during the night. If attacked, then it is war. with them setting simple traps and attacking in the night.
Gnomes are about the size of brownies, but lack the adaptive skeleton, and typically make homes in gardens, helping in whatever manner they deem fit. As well they tend to be pranksters with little concern for safety. they are the most magically inclined, knowing some fey magic, but rarely use it offensively, and largely only to tend off predator creatures such as badgers. Tend to get along with verbose dragons when they meet.
gremlins are tiny creatures, 7 inches tall at the most, able to go clear, and loathe technology. Some creatures aren't compatible (Example: giants being baffled by cell phones) these creatures seem to not only understand it, but know how to break it in ways that might take days to discover. they look like toy goblins in a lot of ways, and have the adaptive skeleton of brownies, making these creatures incredibly annoying and hard to detect. As well being pact creatures, where there is one, there is often quite a few more.
Red caps are a mutant variant of goblins, appearing in one in roughly every 10,000 surviving births of true goblins. they are solitary creatures, and constantly kill every night. the top of their heads turns a reddish brown they grow muscle mass faster, and are animalistic even for goblins. Possible story idea: what if there was a bugbear redcap?

MRE: Other Factions of the World
This is more going to be a running list of groups in the MRE Universe that in some matter interact with them. This will be likely updated from time to time as i think of new ones, simply so i have a single resource to pull from then try to check my notes all the damned times
Magic Research Society
A coven of wizards, warlocks, witches, and occultists that got together at some point to try to work out the hows and whys of magic. They are a much closer knit group, and rather secretive. Completely self funded, and private they try to keep magic alive, but safe from the populace. As well as the public safe from magic. Nothing like one crazed dark wizard to ruin it for the rest of them. They have also been known to take young children who have a natural connection to magic, either training them to control it, or sealing their powers and returning them home, depending on the situation.
Not really an evil group, and are in no way seeking to have total control of magic, even going so far as publishing notes every few years (A resource the MRE makes constant use of), they aren't very good alligned either, looking out more for self interest then the good of all. However, they have assisted the MRE in every Titan Level Event they have faced to date, and are considered one of their best allies.
Fashion League International
A group of fashion experts and models, banding together to help all with issues of fashion. They aren't the most useful of allies, but when you want to know if these boots go with this chainmail, it's hard to go wrong with these guys. As well some seem to be wizards, and might have larger goals then currently known.
The Order of The Black Lotus
Despite initial claims, they are in fact named after the playing card. A small group of world wide magic enthusiasts, they are sometimes a worth while knowledge resource. Able to study and catalogue wide births of information quickly, they act largely as an outsourced research team to both the MRE and MRS.
Largely useless in combat, despite claims of being excellent at strategy. Are rarely called unless there is research to be done.
The Witches of the White
A gathering of known fey humanoids, that have assisted the MRE int he past. They all have announced themselves as members of this guild, and wear a symbol similar to that of a white flower. Largely members met are elves and pixies, they have mentioned other species in their ranks, but none of been observed. Current motives are unknown, and largely not trusted however, at the time being they have proven to be steadfast allies in many fields including information gathering, research, and combat. And in fact, given some secrets of magic currently even unknown to even the MRS.
Magical Research Association
Often thought of the "little brother" of the MRS, they are a conclave of wizards focusing largely on pyromancy, figuring if fire has worked this long why change strategy. Arrogant to a fault, they are willing to help others more readily then most groups, but assume others have beyond a basic knowledge of magic, and become very dismissive when this is not the case.
When faced with a problem one of three things are done. First it is set on fire. If this does not work, then they use their less often used lightning, the only other kidn of evocation they seem to know, and once that fails they will abandon the project and call in a 'lesser' organization'
Most notable for their invention of a fire that burns everything. even other fire.
Occult Destruction Agency
While the MRE strives to maintain a level of natural preservation, the ODA simply destroys all that would disrupt the norm. Distrustful of magic, they have actually devised a sort of anti-magic which can be used to shut down most wizards and extra-dimensional beings. They also seem to be rather well funded for what amounts to be a super natural hit squad.
At odds with the MRS, but oddly seem to get along with the MRA, probably due to constantly forwarding them clean up jobs.

The Monster Research Emporium
There is always ideas floating around about a shadowy government group made to cover up strange things. Magic, aliens, super-science, it doesn't matter, they do it all. the MRE is my attempt.
What makes this different you might ask? Firstly, it's not a secret. In fact, they are trying to warn the world of these impending dangers. the worst thing is an unknowing public, bungling up what could be an easy task if they were informed. As well, there is a lot of misinformation that needs to be cleared up about how to handle things like zombies, vampires, and demons. Yeah there is some truth to the old stories, but some of them either have things that can't be repeated and therefore should be discounted, or are flat out wrong and could lead to someone getting into trouble.
Second, they aren't really a government organization. They have some funding from different governments, hoping to win sway with them but ultimately, it's privately owned and operated. Some of the founder's motivations aren't necessarily on the up and up, but most the people driving the whole place tend to have their head int he right place.
Third, scope. Typically, the men in black show up and they are running the show, and they have crazy resources, and super weapons that could only come from limitless funding. The MRE doesn't have this. Magic weapons sure, but largely it's people fighting monsters with things you could go out and by right now. As well, the bulk of the origination is a loose network of people sharing information spending their own money to keep evil at bay. Though some of these people later become agents and what not, the bulk is free lance hunters.
So they operate more like Dr Van Helsing from Dracula. Experts in a field, but no one really believes them, and thinks they are nuts. Until they are completely right and save the day.
Fourth, they are more the department of fire safety then a police force. They do have teams of people for assault missions, and even have ties to private security firms to handle large scale threats that need to be handled discreetly, but they would much rather teach the world the dangers of demon summoning or how to handle giant attacks then try to cage away these things for all time. There is a certain balance to things, and to actively attempt to disrupt that would be bad in ways not currently known, as well keeping demons, vampires, giants, and dragons in one location would be A) Costly, and B) bad if that place ever gotten broken into.
They do have research labs across the world, but it is more a short term research station then it is a prison for the unearthly.
So yeah, there you have it, the MRE, a loose band of people scraping by to educate the world on monsters. Trying to look like a shadowy all powerful government agency.

Kongthf urf Bestiary: Urban Fey
Fey by and large are seen as other worldy spirits of nature. Taking aspects of trees, water, winds, and so on. Urban fey are similar, but, an urban dryad isn't a spirit living in a tree in a park, no, she lives in the walls of a building. Her grotto now the back allies of a large city, which he does her best to preserve. the disinfranchise that come there to get out of the cold, if respectful find themselves an excellent protector. They become her new pets, protecting them like a regular dryad might a rabbit or squirrel.
Nymphs and nixies find less, stunning places to dwell. some ending up at water treatment plants, in storm drains, and the rare fire hydrant. Even creatures like the centaur end up a weird monstrosity, taking on traits like a quad then a horse.
How does this happen? Like all other beings, fey creatures can stumble into Kongthf urf. The effect on the stumble ins is larger then those stolen by the agents of Kongthf. Those brought in stay relatively the same no matter where placed, but stumble ins change to meet their surroundings. As one could imagine, this is not the most pleasant of thing to have happen to you, but once it is done they know no other existence.
any creature of fey origin will have some reaction to stumbling into kongthf urf, though those closer linked to nature will have a much more drastic change then those not such as elves.

Kongthf urf Bestiary: Snobgoblin
The Snobgoblin is a mix of every foppish stereotype combined and then glued onto the normal goblin. With some fun twists. The average goblin in a short green skinned creature with long ears, a sharp nose, and sharper teeth. They tend to wear animal hides use crude weapons, and live in complete squalor. I'm sure anyone who has played DnD or even most video games know quite a bit about normal goblins. So what is special about the snobgoblin?
Snobgoblins have large exaggerated noses, bad teeth, and a dismissive demeanour. They wear the stolen clothing of the wealthy, use modern weapons, stolen or bought, and tend to keep lesser goblins around to clean up, letting them live in the filth of theirs so they can have a clean place to squat. They aren't much smarter then the regular goblin don't really know what makes something fashionable, but if someone rich wore it? you can sure hell bet they will. Often the same dress! They will often look like a child dressing up in a parent's clothing as they do little to try to make it fit.
As well, Goblins have no concept of gender. They have sexes, sure, and they can see the difference between male and female, but to them fancy is fancy and if Mr. Goldnose wants that sparkly red dress, then he is going to take it and wear it. Until something else catches his eyes and he hands it down to one of his lackeys to wear.
Snobgoblins abhor melee combat, tending to use guns to keep foes and rivals away, think old style pistol duels with deagles. The most powerful ones will hire Bugbear and hobgoblins for guards and mercenaries, giving them suitable uniforms depending on what the boss feels is in fashion. So if you see a bunch of bugbears in black cocktail dresses, it's probably best to avoid the entire scene. Not only are they unhappy to be wearing that, they're on duty and have no qualms about breaking a heel.
At the end of the day however, they are still just goblins, a tool to be used and thrown away by more powerful forces, but they aren't to be taken lightly. There has been rumours of the tribes coming together into a war-band to take over some of the local blocks. and the moves they have taken show them with some pretty fancy toys. How they are getting these weapons isn't yet known, but it might spell disaster if they move in force.

The enforcement Golem 902!
Clearly, i mock up of the Robocop ED-209, this was a fun thought experiment as well. How do you show off soemthing so powerful, yet so flawed, and make it interesting? Well this was my attempt:

stairs. if EG-902 fails, it falls down the stairs and is knocked
prone.

That right there is a hard monster to beat. with good defences, high hp, and what not. But with some smart thinking, and and the right kind of abilities, it will crumble apart. Which is not to say it won't become a suddenly easy fight, but you can make what seems like a hard foe into a fight you can eaisly handle.
But Robocop fought these things multiple times, didn't he? so how do we do soemthing liek that with the player Characters?

The next fight he's a bit easier. sure he's a tough level 7 monster, but you can fairly use two, showing how much stronger the PCs have become. The next time, he's just a normal monster, move to artilery it's upper-cut now a standard action. After that? Minion. It shows a progression of the PCs and the world they live in without triviailizing any of their old accomplishments.
Sure they just blew up 6 EG-902s, but mechanically they are inferior to the one you fought at level 5. Even if story wise it is the same mechanical monster. It just shows the slipping faith they had in their once perfect combat golem. And paves the way for the EG-903.

Kongthf Urf: Technology
Technology on Kongthf urf isn't really modern tech. It's more a mix of old scifi thrown in with some modern trappings. Simple things like guns, yeah, an automatic rifle works as one would imagine, but something like a kongthf urf car, that isn't going to be the same under the hood.
this i largely because of the disconnect between how an outside who knows magic seeing an old combustion engine, and trying to logic out how it might work. gasoline is heated, combusts and makes the car move, right? So he sets out to replicate that in effect, and ends up with a different engine.
This leaves technology on kongthf urf interacting largely with two skills. Arcana, reflected that is in part magic still, and Thievery, representign that is still very mechanical, so quick hands and know how can fix it.
So it largely becomes a game of guess scope. Car repair, gun maintenance, rearing a robotic limb, all of these are thievery. Building a combustion engine, repairing your burned out computer, getting the engines back online? this is were arcana steps in. In theory, large scale repairs, like repairing an Enforcement Golem 902 might require some dungeoneering.
But this is why the motorcycle is an arcane class, not a technology class. though later in its development life i might change it. They are pulling power from their magic core and hurling it at stuff. Where a tech class like Gun guy is using tech weapons to hurt stuff.
As well i have the idea for Techno-weapons.
Not Technology weapons like guns, but as a mimic of magical weapons. that mimic things that are real, but yo can't make a mundane weapon.
Like a Ballistic knife, but a sword. Lets you use it as a range weapon once per encounter. whoever, once used as such, you can't use it as any kind of weapon until a short rest to put the blade back in.
The question then becomes, do I have it in addition to magic properties on a weapon, or as a replacement for. That i'm not sure of yet.

Kongthf urf: Motorcycle Class
This is largely the reason the whole setting exists. Didn't make sense as a race, or a full class, but as a hybrid and mutli class? yeah, that lets you get in soem sweet bike action, while adding something new to the mix. By design there isn't really enough here for a fleshed out class. kind of like the spell plague stuff from forgotten realms, but i wanted it to be more then that. Because I found the idea of a transforming cyborg motorcycle too interesting to pass up.
It plays as a mix of striker and leader, but hopefully i can make it fit any role. Though a defender motorcycle might be a little, strange, it should be doable.

Kongthf Urf
This is an campaign setting idea i have for 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons.
the basic idea is that one of the primordials didn't understand the dawn war (hard of hearing, kind of a jerk also) and instead wandered off, found earth and tried to use a dead world he found in his wnaderings to recreate it stealing from the 'core setting.'
It is intended to be a catch all setting that allows for basically any published material to be used. In tone it is supposed to appear and even do, light hearted romps of random misunderstanding, think a sitcom, but Joey is a level 7 fighter, and Ross needs help with the troll living in the apartment across the hall and he's only a level 4 ranger.
Under this, is an attempted layer of horror. It is a world where cyborgs aren't too uncommon, roughly a fifteenth of the known population, and some of it related to how they came to be. Not all came to be cyborgs willingly, and even those who signed up didn't necessarily like the end product. Now driven mad, what will happen to them?
Nature is unnatural in this world. brought over from many different planes, and the nature spirits of th eonce dead world are confused and angry. As are the spirits attached to the stolen nature. Technology both as magic and how we know it, as now just as native as the threes, and creatures that once reflected the natural world, are also becoming mutants, mirroring aspects of the technological world. Urban dryads and the likes aren't just an idea, they're dangerous to everyone.
Another theme is the idea that Kongthf Urf is connected to the core world still, and its mirrors the Feywilds, and Shadowfel. As well it is developing its own mirrors. a Kongthf Feywild has been set back due to the lack cohesiveness of nature, but the Kongthffel is coming right along.
As well, the dead world, is nto as dead as originally thought, and still has stories to tell its self. as tot he remains of its people. But those would be paragon teir things, the heroic tier, where i am still focused on) would be largley the new world, and how the normal peopel survive day to day in it.
Kongthf urf is at its heart me desiding there isn't enough modern fantasy things done in a manner i like. with fire arms, standign next to magic and elves, as well as the crazier aspects of fantasy and sci fi, it am hoping to fill a niche i invented, and can convince other people it should be filled.

Hello World
So this is a test run. I know nothing about blogs, but i figure this is free, and it might let me set things up in a working manner. Worst case scenario i end up making title pages for collected ideas and try to direct people to a place when i want to share a semi complete idea. As it stands, i can probably just hack something together. not yet going to port over my old things, until i get this to be a semi perminate home. cause doing it multiple times will be dicks.
Oh hey, labels right there. That, might be an idea for now.
