So, we are playing a Lost Vikings game, where my players are time travelling Vikings who can't find their way home. Long story short, they are going to shoot millions of years into the future and I'm going to say that all time travelers from our earth end up in the Plane of Ranch Dressing as a sort of temporal anomaly.
I'm looking for ideas of monsters and mayhem, but also new locations and mundane creatures they might run into here. As this is a silly concept, I accept ideas that are supremely silly or quite serious.
Thanks!
The concept so far:
Semi-Elemental Plane of Ranch Dressing
Strongly Chaotically aligned
The Plane is a swirling mass of various elements, flowing together, not unlike Limbo. Much like Limbo, a sufficiently intelligent individual can use their willpower to shape the terrain around them for travel or living purposes. Most of the sauce matter here is white with little flecks of black and sometimes blue, red, or green interspersed.
The plane has 1000 permanent “islands” that are bubbles within the plane were people inhabit. Not all of these are known about. They were created when the Plane of the Thousand Island Dressing was absorbed into the Plane of Ranch Dressing, making it one of the more inhabitable of its grouping of semi-elemental planes.
The Ranch Plane is part of a grouping of mock Inner planes thought to be an offshoot of Limbo, including the planes of Mayonnaise, Bleu Cheese Dressing, Buttermilk, Balsamic Vinaigrette, and Yogurt. It is said there used to be other planes in the grouping, but true to Outer Plane form, some fell to believing they were parts of the other planes and thus became absorbed by them.
1000 Islands:
265: Chronomancer’s Glave. When Chronomancer’s discovered the plane, they detected that it had a strong anachronistic quality to it, as if its building blocks were not from this space and time. Indeed, a few travelers from a place called “Earth” have appeared here, in which Ranch Dressing is a common food item. The Chronomancers are obsessive about this temporal anomaly. They are largely a human society.
346: Saucerer’s Temple. Ruled over by the Saucerer Supreme, this group of monks train in magical and martial arts connected to the plane, with the Saucerer Supreme being able to control miles of Ranch Dressing matter with a thought.
- Members are known by their gauntlets, which are made from blackened broccoli. Gemstones in the gauntlets denote station. White denoting low ranking members. Green for warriors. Orange for healers. Blue for masters. Red for the Supreme.
508: Fortress of the Order of the Carrot Stick. Home to some rich adventurers who made their home here.
516: The Hidden Valley: A great Ranch Dressing Elemental Kingdom ruled by Prince Oozalot and Princess Gootrude.
517: Fortress of the Onion Knights
555: Mountain of Peppercorn: An active sauce volcano inhabited by Black Pepper Salaads.
686: Ranzerith: A Githzerai city, kept as hidden as possible as a last bastion if their people are wiped out from other planes.
938: Home to the god, Herb
942: Summer home of the Glutton, gnome deity of hunger and evil. Covered in worms.
Flora:
Lemon trees – Trees that have lemon pulp as bark, grow seeds as leaves, and secrete a large amount of sap.
Root Carrots – Small carrots that grow in the ground as a type of grass.
Chive Grass – The common type of grass found on the plane. It can be found growing anywhere and is often seen surrounding dwellings, contained in an orange picket fence.
Black Pepper Rocks – The Black Pepper trees can grow truly massive, and their seeds break off to become the rocks and boulders of any given region.
Carrot Sticks – The most common building material. These grow tall out of the ground and can be cut to make many things with. A common alchemical technique is used to harden the carrots into an almost rock-like material, changing the color to an almost white shade.
Giant Broccoli sprouts – Known for having magical properties. They are rare, but can be hardened into great weapons and building materials. The Broccoli population watches closely over their growth, prizing them for their “dippingness”
Giant Bell Peppers – These peppers never stop growing and, when large enough, are often hollowed out into dwellings.
Fauna:
Humanoid Species: Humans, Githzerai, Salaads
Ranch Dressing Elementals
Mayo Elementals
Dissapointment Beasts – Breed with Mayo Elementals to make Ranch Dressing Elementals
Winged Buffalos – The local herdbeasts
Buttermilk Cows
Shambling Salad Mounds
Sauce Dragons – of the Ranch, Mayonnaise, Bleu Cheese, and Thousand Island Varieties
Chivettes – Beautiful fae creatures renowned for their beauty who tempt inhabitants towards treacherous acts. A surprisingly common part of society.
Bleu Birds
Doomfridge – A beast that uses power from shocker lizards to produce blasts of cold.
Giant Worms: Hideous beasts that travel in the Dressing matter. Brought to the realm by the gnomish god, The Glutton.
Ghost Pepper Ghosts: Local spirits of the dead that radiate heat.
Calzone Golem: Creatures made randomly when too much heat is applied to the Ranch Dressing. This can be purposeful of accidental.This is one of the More unfortunate side effects of Ghost Pepper Ghosts.
