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 followed their orders. Only one of the 5 bandits survived by the end of the adventure, even then they were an arm and a leg short of a whole person.
  • Repeated attempts to interrogate a bag of guts.
  • The Goth Occultist Wichita chugging three random potions she received at once, resulting in horrible mutations and expanding flesh. Also using a lust potion to cause a bandit orgy.
  • The Necromaniac Blackguard Chaddeus repeatedly falling into every trap due to 7 DEX. Once he figured out that you could just throw corpses into traps, he began to obsess over dead things, resulting in him carrying a giant sack full of body parts and naming them. He also snuck some bandit flesh into the team's meal.
  • The Lord Blackguard Donald shit talking corpses and managing to be a little weasel and not getting hit once during the entire adventure until the last fight, despite having a melee weapon and more STR than the rest of the group combined (17 STR). The first time he got hit, he took 12 damage to a fireball that immediately dropped him.

    ... I'm not sure if I want your players, or if it's your influence that leads to such shenanigans. Either way, bravo!

The Most Cursed Of Hands

Hi, I'm still alive. I've been pretty busy, busy moving, busy writing, busy working. I've recently moved across the entire country, and during my downtime I've been writing a small hexcrawl for my group to play as a mini-campaign when I visit them over breaks, and for a few new players I've met already. It started off as a simple hexcrawl featuring an awful forest and witch hunters, then ambition got the better of me so I added a fleshy dungeon. Consider this my belated addition to Nate Treme's Pamphlet Dungeon Jam . Here you go, the setting along with a few design notes further down this page (I recommend you read the second PDF in the folder first): The Most Cursed Of Hands I'll admit, the product isn't done-done yet, it's writing is a tad unorganized and its formatting could use a little bit of work. It's kinda hard making a pamphlet because you need to allow yourself to not give all  the information you want on a location, just enough...

Blackguards At The Gate

I've done it, I think. I've joined the bandwagon of homebrew rulesets. It seems like everybody in the OSR-o-sphere has one, and sometimes it seems pointless to make your own because people are already writing their own. But then, I came to a crossroads with 3 systems that don't seem too compatible that I absolutely love, and saw it as a challenge to awfully amateur my design skills. The three systems are Knave, Into The Odd, and GLOG, and I think I've done an okay job at melding the good parts of them together. I'm not going to harp on much longer, have my hack, along with a character sheet : Blackguard Just kidding, there is a bit more pitter-patter from me. I'm pretty content with my hack, just keep in mind that it hasn't been tested to any giant extent like Knave. The main thing I am uncertain about is the Hit Dice, and if I should change them to D8s, but that's about it. I think it's kinda funny how I treat PCs like items, with luck ba...

We Forgot We Were Human

I recently ran a fun game for a few younger players, it was their first time playing anything close to an RPG and they loved it, but I thought the session might go awry during character creation once one player was adamant about being an elf. I was a tad panicked at first because the system I use, Into The Odd , doesn't have any races and everybody is assumed to be human. At first I just assumed that I would treat her character like a human, like everybody else, but I decided that would be boring. Here is the quick hack I implemented to add races in Into The Odd . Every race starts like your standard human: Roll 3D6 for each stat, begin with an extra item. Now, from here you can do a few things to make the race interesting: Enhance  a stat at the cost of impairing  another stat. (For instance, the ogre race now rolls 2D6 + 6 for their STR but only rolls 2D6 for their WIL) Gain an ability at the cost of impairing  a stat. (For instance, the dwarf race now roll...
