What could be pretending to be the moon in and eldritch themed campaign? from DMAcademy
ME: The God of Mimics. Oddly, all spelljamming trade stopped after this switch. Wonder why that is? Lots of art starts referring to the moon as being hungry at around this time too. I am reminded of the Tom Waits lyric, "The moon ain't romantic; its intimidating as hell." huggiesdsc: That's the best. What happened to the old moon? ME: The moon (all of it) is in the soul of one of the players (magic!). Maybe when they dream, they dream about being there. Also, maybe when that player moves around it fucks up the tides.
