Roleplay Modrons that make more sense.
Modrons capture attention and imagination—bio-mechanical beings from an alien plane, with reality-bending inspirations. But when we start unpacking the lore, we can't figure out how or why to use them, how to roleplay a modron, how they behave, or what they really want. So in this episode, we answer these questions by tweaking the concept while staying true to its roots.
In Kinship Camp we go over the inspiration for these bizarre creatures while adding a bit of our own. This includes Flatland, a short story about god, and ants. Y'know, arguably the strangest creature in our reality. Then we start loading ideas into our culture creator, available here. By the end, we've got a creature with motivations, goals, quirks, how their language could work, and even what they might say.
