The prophecy has come true, and the end is upon us. Not all of us will survive what is to come. But we must stand against this darkness. So heroes one and all, I call upon youI call upon you to rock your body right. Because the time we dreaded has come. Backstreet's back, alright

Fuck it, why do only the PCs get to be horny? It's Urug the Bugbear who's rolling to seduce this time, motherfuckers.

It's often hard to get access to the big bad's internal motivations without it being contrived. Resolve this by giving the Lord Of All Miseries a podcast

The PCs receive a message saying a band of trolls are threatening a village and pleading for help. When they arrive ready for a fight, it turns out the trolls are actually wealthy landowners and what they need to be stopped from doing is setting up a satellite mall.

If you're pissed off at Wizards of the Coast, may I recommend Chymus? You play as working class people during the industrial revolution and get to fight capitalism with humoral magic
