Help me out, nerds. I’m bad at making up names for fantasy things. I need a few more month names for my Perdition campaign’s calendar. Suitably fiendish/devilish.
The French revolutionary calendar renamed the months for prevailing weather conditions such as calling August "hot summer" (Thermidor) and September "grape harvest " (Vendémiaire).
You could do something like that - do devils have preferred punishments/acitvities by month e.g. The Month of icy drownings etc..
That’s the predicament I’m in. The tone is closer to Gus’s so I’m going with that, but Ian really made me laugh. Here’s what I came up with, all prefaced with "The Month of": Icy Drowning Quartering The Rack Pressing by Rocks Flagellation The Gallows Hot Irons Scaphism Pitchcapping The Iron Maiden Defenstration Flaying
trey causey I forgot about that - man now I'm just reading through your old "The City" posts. It makes me kinda want to write a LBB exploration dungeon crawl for Weird Adventures. Such good stuff.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.

I can't decide if Ian Reilly or Gus L has my favorite suggestion. Depends on the tone of your campaign, I guess.
ReplyDeleteguys I fucked up. JU-LIE

Casey G. You might (like the French Revolutionaries) try to make them seasonally appropriate? Not sure how, but it could be amusing.
ReplyDelete"Staking in the Sun" might need to go on there.
