On the Twelfth Day of Christmas
My GM gave to me,
Twelve Deep Ones swimming,
Eleven cultists plotting,
Ten goblins singing,
Nine monstrous shoggoths,
Eight ghosts a-haunting,
Seven mi-go’s buzzing,
Six vampires drinking,
Five meepin’ ghouls!
Four terror birds,
Three planetvores,
Two orks choppin’,
And dread Cthulhu dreaming ‘neath the sea.
I’ve put Deep Ones in pretty much every set of adventurers I’ve put together myself. The fishy humanoids emerge from the sea, and breed with the humans in Innsmouth, their offspring have that Innsmouth look. But they’re not limited to just Massachusetts, I think they’re a great creature to pull from anytime you’re near the sea. Plus you have the built in power levels, from hybrids to full on Deep Ones to Father Dagon to Mother Hydra, you can build a solid set of adventures around encountering them.
Deep Ones and their ilk have appeared in Mysteries of the Ninth World, Fishy Business, and Robinson Gruesome.
Among TRF’s ranks are representatives of many faiths, people who believe in a range of different things or nothing, or something more complicated. Aser and Megan simply and dearly wish you and them good times in the company of loved ones and the hope of brighter things in the new year.
