Cults & Cultists Generator

In the derelict catacombs beneath the bustling city, a group of the city’s most elite meets. They are unidentifiable because each wears a velvet robe with a hood that descends over their faces. A hunched figure stands at the front. He sits atop the largest tomb openly disrespecting the dead that sleeps there.

He addresses his congregation with a nasal voice.

“You have been summoned here to discuss our current progress. There has not been enough violence to even consider you a part of this holy group. People in the streets outright defy the laws we have set forth. Even as you sit there, voices speak to me and those voices want the blood of the non-believers. You are to get rid of any monuments to the false gods that you come across. You will identify yourself to your fellow congregation by wearing a lily in your hair or on your lapel. If you do not follow these orders, woe is to you. We are here to end all who refuse to see that I alone am god.”

The crypts are dark but as the old man speaks, the cowl comes away from his face and it is a hideous sight. His eyes are white and roam the room. He is wrinkled and haggard. After many years he has convinced the elite that the only way to bring true peace to the city is by culling the nonbelievers and by killing any who stand in their way.

Cults and cultists are super fun to interact with in an adventure. They can be really difficult to set up, though. We have provided a generator that creates a cult and cultist for you with tons of information for you to work with. You will get what your cult worships, where they meet, details about their leader, details about the members, their goals, their rules, and what they fear. If you only need to describe a single cultist we have provided that for you as well.

Haunted Forest Encounter Generator

They walk through the darkening forest. The bare branches are reaching towards them as they scramble through. The wind whistles through the trees and they hear faint words being spoken. They come to a bare patch of ground that is clear of bushes and brambles. Across the clearing is a crumpling ruin that looks quite ancient. Long-forgotten gods crumble at the entrance and the name of a long dead emperor is etched above the door. When they enter they hear scratching sounds. The walls are covered in unknown languages that could be invitations or warnings. Deeper into the winding ruins the scratching sounds become louder. Long dead humans begin to scramble toward them. The skin has fallen from their faces, their bodies are decaying, and they are covered in tattered shrouds. The monsters mouth soundless screams and begin to give chase. Simply saying a forest is haunted is not enough. A DM must give details that pull their players into the scene so that they can picture smelling the tre...

A young brother and sister find an old door in their basement that wasn't there before....

The discovery of an old door in the basement that wasn't there before sparks a multitude of potential narratives, each with its own blend of mystery, adventure, and the supernatural. Here's a creative direction one might take with such a premise: Under the dim basement light, a brother and sister stood before an ancient door that creaked with untold secrets. It was a peculiar thing, ornate and edged with strange symbols that seemed to dance in the shadows. The basement, their usual play haven, had transformed overnight into a chamber of mysteries. "Had this always been here?" the sister whispered, her voice barely above the sound of their synchronized heartbeats. Her fingers traced the cool, iron handle that felt like ice against the warmth of her palm. The brother, older by a year yet equally wide-eyed, shook his head. "No way. Dad would've noticed it when he put the Christmas decorations away, right?" He pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, ...
