Fire in the Hole

 

The adventurers panic and prepare for a fight, a big hairy beast with fangs bearing a sword wound appears from the darkness. Bobos attempts to cast prismatic wall but in her fear she is incapable of performing the correct arcane hand motions. Dungifer keeps steady and unleashes a bolt from the blue, 5 streams of white hot fire come forth and strike at the beast. It is driven stark raving mad by the divine. Grrunnarr sweeps in and with a mighty punch to the head knocks the beast to the ground. Radcliff comes over and slits its throat making sure the job is done. The party recoups as Grrunnarr identifies the beast as a cave troll. The party shudders recounting the horrible tales of torture surrounding cave trolls.

The party is one torch down.

As they make their way deeper into the dungeon they find a man trapped in a prison cell: Kermit the Curious, master illusionist. He has not had any food or water in three days and is desperate to get out. Radcliff easily picks the lock as second nature, not even attempting to use the keys hanging on the wall. Kermit is freed and fed and afterwards explains that he was imprisoned for being a spy when in reality he was simply feeding his curiosity. The party agrees to let Kermit come along with them as they explore more of the dungeon.

After passing through a few intersections and a few dead ends the party finds themselves a deposit of beautiful blue quartz crystals, but as they head back they hear voices. One stands out, the voice of Butcher Dargen, who had threatened to kill them with an axe just a few hours earlier.

Radcliff prepares an oil trap with a vial of oil and some twine. Bobos stands ready to unleash a stream of fire with her flaming hands spell. The tripwire trips, the disgruntled miners are coated in oil, bobos let's forth a stream of fire from her magmatic hands. The fire does its work quickly. The party collects all the gold and jewelry.

They make their way towards the west and find another elevator room. The elevator is not on their floor but they decide to use the strength of Grrunnarr to pull the elevator to their floor.

400 New Patches For Mothership

 As someone who collects patches, I love the random patch generator. I decided to think up 400 more to have an even more varied set of outcomes for character creation. These compiled with the ones from the core book can make a d500 Chart for patches.  6 Fingered Hand Abstract Eyeball A Cat Ace of Spades A Cigarette Carton A Dog A Dragon Backpatch Aleph A Meaningless Set of Hanzi Anarchist Star Anatomical Heart Angel Wings Back Patch An Icecream Cone with Rainbow Rings A pair of Dentures A Skull with an Extra Eye Socket Ass A steak covering half of a bruised face.

An unfinished script for a video review of wanderhome

  This was written months ago in a single day it is unfinished and messy and needed to be revised but it was such a release of emotion that I left me satisfied emotionally but not intellectually. I haven't worked on it in a long while so have fun reading this unfinished script. Introduction It is early May 2022, the State of Texas has passed a law classifying parents who let their transgender children transition as child abusers, and requiring the forceful outing of all transgender children to their parents. Soon a game bundle to raise money for transgender advocacy groups in texas is put together on itch. After supporting the bundle I looked through it to see what was included and saw wanderhome. A game I had been recommended in the past but have never picked up. Wanderhome is a game published by Possum Creek Games in April of 2021. It was written by Jay Dragon, illustrated by Letty Wilson, and Sylvia Bi, and layout out by Ruby Lavin. Editing was done by Ruby Lavin, Luke Jordan, a

Bay of Birini

I have recently started work on a bronze age lost world style setting called the Bay of Birini. It's a hex crawl over a 50 x 50 mile area. It uses a bunch of shit from other people because it's a home game thing so I am not gonna post the hexes because a chunk of them are written by other people. Instead here is the plain map and the hex fill procedures that used for the making of it!   Roll 1d24 1-2      Obvious Feature 3           Hidden Feature 4           Obvious and Hidden Feature 1d4 Settlement Monster Lair Weird Dungeon Settlement Roll 2d6 and multiply the results  1     Hermit 2     Thorp 3     Village 4     Village 5     Fort 6     Fort 8     Town 9     Bandit Holding 10     Town 12     Town 15     New Imperial Outpost 16     Religious Commune 18     City 20     Collapsed Imperial Remnants 24     Wizard 25     Dragon 30     Theocracy 36     Kingdom Weird Animal Behavior Magical Feature Treasure Resource Historical Location Hint to nearby Hex Combine 2 Monster Spark Tab
