PCs who have a baked-in reason to WORK TOGETHER? The fuckin dream right there

Matt Mercer basically made a Friendship Domain for clerics, why not a warlock patron? Could have some fun mechanics based on whether the party is together or separated.

My little pony X D&D

Friendship is Magic!

How to: become a hag coven.

If anyone dies the whole circle jerk falls apart and ends in a tpk.

Fabula Ultima implements the power of friendship in a nice discrete way. Wish I could motivate my friends to play it though

Perpetual mana machine? Magical power MLM? Cultist cooperative?

either way I’m in

Pretty sure there’s already a mlp ttrpg

Do we need to bust out the Brennan speech again?

Our baked in reason to work together was that the wizard pays well for the jobs that we did, and the wizard was just crazy enough to do things like: tell kings to “fuck off, and get her likeness correct on the wanted posters before she razes your castle to the ground.” And get away with it. It was entertaining to see what she could get away with

Plot twist, they can summon Captain Prime Material as a group summon, but they all have to concentrate on it to keep the summon around

I think that’s more of a Paladin Oath

The greatest twist of all, all the friends are actually five generations of the same line of chronomancers all on their 18th birthday coming of age quest to seek wisdom and power from their ancestors. Disturbingly, they all have an ancestral patron in the squad.

Ooo, sounds like a coven of Seneschal Witches from Pathfinder 2e!

This could actually be a fun way to add a character building twist where an individual’s powers don’t match their own personality, but that of one of their friends.

The Sweet One gets their great old one powers from the Spacy One, who gets their fiend powers from the Hot-Tempered One, who gets their undead powers from the Goth One, who gets their archfey powers from the Goofy One, who gets their celestial powers from the Sweet One.

Linkplz?

Try Runequest!

Starting characters are usually from the same clan so have familial bonds and a shared history.

Obviously, you can add mysterious traveller PCs later, but having the majority of the party know each other and be interconnected makes for an easy start.
