Thanks, the whole submission came out of a couple of names. After I thought of weekling as a time-based minion name it was basically impossible for me to brainstorm anything else for the jam.

That Reverser ability is probably the thing that I spent the most time debating what the cost and limitations should be. Since a big part of the way I envision momentad are as more or less hired guns following other fey so I didn't want to limit it to not let them aid their leaders. In the end I just picked an amount of malice that felt like it was a cost to use for powerful allies but not too much of a cost if the momentad are being used with less powerful creatures. I think if I had more space (and maybe some knowledge from testing) I would make using it on more powerful allies cost more.

And then the Cententinel extreme deadliness feels like an edge case to me. I mean I'd defer to people with more experience actually running and playing but I don't know how prevelent in play that one complication is out of the core hundred or how many people are playing elves or dwarves near the end of their lives. Since most ancestries can't even hit a century and the ones that can I would imagine are only being played as 2 or 3 centuries old I figured realistically it's providing a couple of extra squares on average. But I do very much enjoy the visual of this one little fey unintentionally turning a very long lived creature into a splatter on the other side of the wode.

Having made a candlefolk ancestry for the last jam I was very excited to see another take on the living candle idea and I think you knocked it out of the park. This is so evocative, a perfect balance of unsettling and whimsical. I could easily see this being expanded into a whole quest

That is a hilarious visual, what a monkey's paw way for an immortal to die of old age

I absolutely did, the whole idea came out of the weekling = minion and centennial/sentinel = defender puns and then I just kept coming up with names

Thanks! I hadn't imagined them as the wode's immune system but that's such a cool idea of the function they could serve.

Their visuals are one of the things I really wish I had more space to expand on but between struggling to nail down a coherent description and wanting to include as many statblocks as I could fit it was the easiest thing to leave out. In my mind their appearance is very malleable. I think when they first manifest they are maybe just formless beings that look like dark clouds or the night sky but the influence of the wode eventually lets them take on a more general fey/humanoid shape, closest reference is maybe the dnd quickling art. Doldrums in my mind look sort of like the rock trolls from frozen but still with that cloudy/starry sky texture and the anniv ursare is the same but in the form of a bear, the rest I don't have a strong visual image for. And then when they join up with some other type of fey they start to take on aspects of their appearance like the wode elf fur and ears or the high elf metal filigree patterns.
