D6 This ring is
1 rough-hewn obsidian, hard to wear without slicing your fingers, with an orbicular chunk of jet clutched in jagged claws.
2 amethyst, carved in the shape of a ship wheel's rim, and with black lightning arcing within its crystalline confines.
3 made of a reddish copper-gold alloy, set with a fat ruby cut like a heart, with smaller rubies like drops of blood spurting from it.
4 almost a living thing, a slithering ouroboros of blood-hot stone with blinking sapphire eyes.
5 heavy, thick, pitted iron, more a fingerling shackle than a ring.
6 a delicate wirework of woven silver, set with needle-like slivers of emerald.
D6 This ring was forged
1 by the last survivor of a species on a distant world, and flung into the void on a meteor to be a curse upon the yet-living.
2 by a prodigious apprentice as a miraculous masterwork - their master soon after murdered them and stole the ring.
3 within the molten earth by a telluric intelligence, and volcanically regurgitated onto the surface for some inscrutble scheme.
4 by an ancient dragon for their human servant who promised to use it to rein in the verminous mammals.
5 by the Devil himself in return for a hundred innocent souls.
6 in the shining womb of a goddess of mercy, that it might be used to enforce peace across the world.
D6 This ring rules
1 through love, the infliction of cruel and unrequited love.
2 by bestowing solace and bliss through its touch - these feelings prove addictive.
3 by budding off other rings like tumours. Those who wear these budded rings become like limbs of the main ring's bearer.
4 through rousing anger and disgust - its bearer can command those affected so long as they continually offer up scapegoats for their servants to act violently against.
5 through an aura of unnatural terror, the susceptible turned into cringing sycophants in its presence.
6 through oaths sworn on it, which even if coerced will inflict a fate worse than death on those who break them - though this effect is much-reduced if the bearer breaks their own terms.
D6 This ring can only be destroyed
1 by planting it above a peach pit - as the peach tree grows up and around the ring the tree will dissolve it.
2 by the Hammer of the Giants - a lost artifact too heavy to be wielded by any mortal man.
3 in a bath of pure alchemical alkahest.
4 at the moment of a rare celestial convergence.
5 if it is swallowed by the oldest and largest of the purple worms.
6 if struck by a victorious revolutionary.
D6 This ring is held
1 in the ruined fortress of a failed wizard-tyrant, still rife with magical traps and directionless servitors.
2 by a hidden village of anthropophagous halflings who present themselves as hospitable bumpkins, twisted by the barbarism wreaked on them by those who sought the ring.
3 by a ravenous warlord who relies on its power entirely.
4 by an undead knight standing in unending vigil in a mountaintop shrine.
5 by a peasant boy who dug it out of a ditch, and does not yet appreciate the thing's power.
6 among the coils of a kraken who fears the ring being used against it.
D6 This ring is sought
1 by a gallant yet completely-deranged adventurer and their much-abused bard companion - they believe destroying the ring will cement their legend throughout the ages, yet if they acquire it they will fall to its temptation.
2 by the werewolf lieutenant of its last bearer, who wants to use it to shape the world into a kinder place for their accursed kind.
3 by a bitter & cynically sultry genie whose master wished for it.
4 by a wraith who wants to add it to their grave goods and thus bear its power in the afterlife.
5 by a company sent forth by a besieged city-state republic, who believe its domination is the only way to paradoxically retain their freedom.
6 by a cadre of elves trained for centuries since birth to retrieve it for the king of elfland.

  1. Oh nice, this would go well with that "Rings of Power: The Inner Circle" idea I posted on the server recently. I was specifically using invisibility in that but it could be fun to expand it out further with these.

    Sorry, I'll see myself out.
