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...

A Night On The Town

There are dozens of ways to build and travel through cities for your RPG games that are concrete, solid, and have a decent amount of crunch. I'm too much of an idiot to use these kinds of methods, so here's my really subjective way, based on a popular earlier post , without needing maps but still having a physical representation to keep track of player location. Crawlspace Method - Settlements ( Sam Hogg ) 1.  Choose a die. A D4 represents a village, a D6 represents a town, a D8 represents a city. 2.  Choose at least two faces on your die. Mark down these faces as gates . These are areas that the players can freely enter and exit the village/town/city grounds through this location. 3.  Start writing down the contents of each face. Each face represents a major landmark or general district. Generally, you should do the Last Gasp method of describing districts/landmarks/other locations by giving each place a wealth rating (Poor/Middling/Rich) along with descriptio...
