In The Bag

Hey, so this is going to be an update from last post because my friends really liked how I handled character creation and wanted me to show the public my starter packages I made for the session I ran earlier this weekend. I'll have the starter packages first and some highlights from my session last for those interested. Blackguard ( Konstantin Vavilov ) Knave ( Konstantin Vavilov )  Occultist ( Konstantin Vavilov )   Now, for the highlights from my adventure I'm testing, SIN, SWINE, SQUALOR: Slipping a lust potion into a bandit camp's water/alcohol supply, resulting in indescribable acts of sex and sadism. Wasting half of the team's torches by lighting them and throwing them into an aqueduct tunnel in attempts to see where it went. Riding a giant pig, steering it by shoving blades down its skull. Convincing a small posse of insane bandits that the team were Gods and Goddesses from another dimension that would bring the posse redemption if they

A Backpack And A Blade

So, I'm going to be running a session tomorrow, wish me luck. In that time, I've been trying to modify Into The Odd's character creation. Don't get me wrong, I love how quick and concise it is, along with how many fun results it can produce, but Into The Odd assumes an semi-industrial, semi-imperialist steam-punk-ish setting that I am not all that into.

So, here's some alternatives I've drawn out, along with a few examples: Method 1: Bagful Of Baubles ( Konstantin Vavilov ) I honestly like this method the best, it's just about as quick as the original Into The Odd's methods. All that is needed for this method is a d20 table of trinkets relate

All That Praises Heaven

The sound of sandals on soft dirt precedes the adventurer’s entrance into the pitch dark chamber. The light of the torch cowers from the darkness of the chamber like a scared child. For the past hour, the party of three had been pursuing a mysterious person who seemed to be made out of incense smoke. They were hoping to ask the person for directions out of the dungeon, they had been horribly lost for longer than they had been pursuing the mysterious man. The three hadn’t let the catacombs stop them, and they certainly wouldn’t let a dark and dank chamber stop them now. The light soon revealed the walls made of packed dirt, the ceiling with several strange potted plants hanging from iron chains, and a large statue of a twisted worm god. A true eyesore, the statue almost looks like it is shifting and squirming in the dim light's presence. The smoke person disappears into the statue, a groveling voice forms inside the depths of the party’s heads. “Would one of you like to pray?” The
