Moonflower Seeds: Volume 1
A downloadable miscellany
Fear not the Dead Lover, but the Living Mourner.
Moonflower Seeds: Volume 1 is a vibe book for an upcoming TTRPG by a (very similar) title, Where the Moonflowers Bloom. Consider it a teaser of odd bits of lore and strange theories. In essence, this is the Dark Souls Item Descriptions of the game -- there's a lot of lore crammed into these passages, for those who enjoy that kind of thing! Or, maybe you're a real sicko and just want to read... weird writings of mine?
Within this miscellany of seeds you will find 7 seeds of lore:
- Seed 1: The last journal entry of a (presumed to be dead) Moth (the adventuring, person kind, not the cute bug kind!)
- The Meditations of the First Moth, a quasi Zen Buddhist Question and Response piece.
- A short piece of fiction about an acolyte and their Moon Hare - a lesson on the costs of healing magics. (The bunny is fine! Don't worry!)
- An esoteric treatise passed around the Conclave about how injecting the blood of the Dead Moon Ix is the way forward for arcane pursuits, ignore your doctor warning you about Side Effects!
- A nursery rhyme about an order of secretive knights who kill tyrants and oppressors!
- A mini-prayer book of the Knightly Order of the Argent Moonflower, containing prayers for Moonrise Mornings and to each of the Four Moons.
- The apocalyptical fears of an odd Sun Observer, noticing that each day the Sun gets hotter, inching closer to boiling the planet.
This was all laid out and edited in basically one day, so if you find mistakes or weird layout ghosts, let me know!
What is Where the Moonflowers Bloom?
Where the Moonflowers Bloom is an upcoming dungeon crawling TTRPG about delving into the dead body a Moon, the fallen lover of the Sun called Ix. Players will take on the roles of Moths, individuals inexplicably drawn towards Ix, and Their dungeon corpse, called the Dungecorpus, to delve deep within the moonflesh of this God-Moon.
None know exactly why Moths are drawn to the dungecorpus, but many theorize something within Ix is still alive - and that something might be the only thing to keep the One Who Mourns, the Sun, from destroying the entire world in His grief and rage.
It'll feature four classes, a built in system to develop depth-crawl based dungeon exploration, tools to help Keepers (GMs) to create a hub world for their players, and Lots of Tables to Develop Weirdo Lore.
Also, there's rabbits who drink dew blessed by the moons and can do minor magics because of it, but mostly use this to acquire food.
