My brain spewed out 75% of a sci-fi D&Dish/Black Hackish game over lunch. Some psychic powers, a couple vehicles, a handful of bad guys, a random table, and done.
What's the fun of magic/psychic powers if the rest of the party doesn't have a reason to suddenly turn on the user because he/sh accidentally tore open a veil into the nightmare zone?
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
I think you should make a second file that's editable by everyone.

James Aulds This may be of interest re: Jumpboots and Jabberwocks!
ReplyDeleteI'm just typing out random shit that may be beyond the scope or terrible.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally steal from Dark Heresy and have one of the Psy SNAFU results be "switch character sheets" though.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't thinking about Psi-SNAFUs until now...

ReplyDeleteNoting to read when home
ReplyDeleteI didn't make any specific enemies but I made a Perfectly Structured Hostile Organism with a chart featuring everyone's favorite tropes from sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteThat's good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI know you were obviously going for an Aliens-vibe but I wrote up stuff for a bunch of different vibes anyway.
ReplyDeleteNeeds more Doom, Stephen.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think I added a shotgun?
ReplyDeleteI did see the shotgun. I wonder about it's gunfeel though.
ReplyDeleteCould make it 3d6+3 or let it shred 1 HD monsters or less at close range...
ReplyDeleteI'm adding plasma weapons and a Gets Hot table. Feel free to use all of it, none of it, or just as inspiration. This is fun!
