A quick Gamma Game

This actually happened before the last post. Have been working on tables for various dungeon zones for long stair but i realize they would work in my normal DnD so ill continue working them for future. My parents ended up sick so xmas was cancelled and I hung with friends clan instead so all good. Friends coming out of the woodwork starting to happen. Happy new year if you dont see me post again before then.

Impromptu gamma world game

Caught up with John and Richard who I used to game with weekly plus for over 10 years. Had a quick gamma game with both playing unstable mutants and went through GW2 famine in fargo. As usual the bizarre powers and happenings managed to surprise all. GW2 is one of my fave modules and is a nice start for a game. The automated chicken factory AI and its out of control experimental mutant chickens are classic gamma. Firstly it subverts the real world and takes everything up a few notches.  My players felt sorry for the chickens and were happy to drive them off with fear and kill all the eggs and infants with life leech. Chicken bandits will thrive in the woods for decades. Putting chicken and GM combat troop DNA together probably was not going to make great workers who wouldn’t mind their kin being farmed. I can imagine Cyclops chickens and apes getting along in the anti human war.

Richard played Ritz Hilton, a gentleman steam punk biker on  a crusade to spread eco friendly steam tech to backward folk on his steam traction velocipede cycle. He was unstable with mostly mental powers and a poor dual brain. Fear generation and beguiling (foe uses weakest weapon) were other notable powers. He had electrical generation as his temporary power. He managed to look human, getting pretty tight skin when he was afflicted with a minor cosmetic power. His mustache is all natural. Specialized motorbike cavalry fighting expert starting with a rapier and a derringer pistol.

John played Miyo, a caveman humanoid with a multi-coloured fur body with a bullet head, barrel chest and short legs. He had been an ape slave and tracker for years and had since escaped and joined the local constabulary. A bit scared by tech he has a bunch of Stone Age kit and an Axe made from a I beam. He managed to develop loose wrinkly skin at one point. His idea for improvised shelter building came in handy every day so I’ll make it a regular skill. Being able to make rad-rain proof shelters in a hurry, camouflage to hide Richards bike, etc all proved handy. He has lots of hp and several defensive powers like force field, regeneration and mental control of body. He began with water dependency as his random mutation for the day.

The unstable mutant type is a bit inspired by the current edition of gamma world. Basically they have one mutation rerolled every session/game day and may physically change even may revert to human appearance. Babies kept together need id tags. Other mutants don’t trust them as tainting their bloodlines. The law is suspicious they may be criminals wanted for some face they wore months ago. But if you need a scapegoat unstable mutants are very handy. They usually get more survival skills and have slightly crappier tech and home tables.

The bike made life pretty easy and the avoided encounters and move swiftly for the most part. A damaged bridge took them half a day to repair costing them all the time saved so far. But less encounters over all. While camping under a bridge, a robot cop came to question them. Managed to convince robot they were minors and it failed to contact their parents, social workers or back up so it let them go with a warning and a moral lecture.

The biggest threat was 6 racial supremist knight of genetic purity. Two were knights with riding dogs and lances and scale mail. Four were footmen one with a needler pistol. Richards fear power messed up most of the mounts and broke up the Knights before they got into melee. John shrugged off the needler poison but Richard went down while driving away. John pushed the bike away and hid in the woods. John's TK hand was quite nifty too, chasing knights with spears and snatching their weapons.

The guys managed to scare away most foes – both have high mental scores. Mostly cyclops chickens who are very hostile to humans. While most got away with weapons, a few dropped some guns and ammo. They rid the factory of anomalous chicken men and killed a tree while recovering fuel for AI and bringing frozen chicken patties to peoples of Far Go. Managed to change powers and got some new powers from the berries in the forest of knowledge. Richard got life leech and john got carapace and anti-life leech. Now they have to live with the other vampires and outcasts. They scored a laser pistol, Thermal IR Laser rifle, some .45 magnum pistol ammo, a fusion rifle – no atomic cells thought). Not a bad grab bag of stuff.

The party using stealth, speed and fear managed to avoid most encounters quickly and painlessly. Im quite enjoying so many battle in this game are not fatal. 80% of battles end with both parties retreating. Grenades seem to contribute to the most total kills of groups and players usually try and horde these weapons and fear destroying loot. Typically whoever holds the tech gets the most attacks. Leaders and weapon holders going down is demoralizing for teams plus nabbing high tech is its own reward.

May play again but would like to get a Long Stair game started too. May get 2 more sessions done here.

I will need to get my mutation tables done because I do want to stop characters mutating themselves too crazily. One poor player started a flammable albino insanely afraid of robots. While there are risks in being mutated the odds of getting awesome are better. My main goal will be if you get 10 mutations to roll on more horrible cosmetic mutation. Human looking mutants might not be noticeable, but eventually too many mutations ads up. Something like this:

Minor – for those hidden mutants and basic humanoids
Webbed toes, foreshortened thumbs, pointy ears, lumpy forehead, coloured hair, buck teeth, coloured skin, hairy, hairless, sharp nails, coloured eyes, big nose, forked toungue. Minor psychological aversions and preferences like nocturnal are common

Major – for hideous hybrid monster 10+ mutations
Horns, fins, plastron, claws, hooves, backward knees, no neck, pincers, tentacle hands, squid face, prehensile feet, flippers, trunk, tail. Various mental compulsions of greater severity like bloodlust, violent, carnivorous, constantly aroused, polymorphous sexuality, fear or dark, fear of robots, fear of sky.

Horror – for those devolved into shambling  protoplasm 20+mutations
Tentacle, eye clusters, transparent flesh, tentacle growths, mouth clusters, eye stalks, bag of flesh, feeding tube, fold out jaws, extra limbs, extra face, brain growths, enlarges sexual characteristics, glowing organs, plastic flesh, huge membrane, mute, shed skin, slug foot, slime covered, dribble slime constantly, plague carrier, urge to produce offspring, urge to contaminate others, reproduce with anything. Mental problems include moronic, constant need to eat, constant need for sex, homicidal, unreasonable pacifism, multiple personalities.

A fairly big project but I’m still working on it. One suggestion was to break into body parts like hit locations. Im visualizing the mutations more and more as being connected with man made mutagens designed to destroy morale, cause internal dissent in enemies and turn people into living weapons. Others allow interspecies hybridism, reanimation after death, psionic powers, behavioural mods and worse. There are no natural cells in the 25th century, gamma world is too deadly for 20th century life. Radiation tends to reactivate mutagenic nanites and bioengineered cell fauna and makes them interact in strange new ways.

The Long Stairs – tools and weapons

sorry not getting up but no net where Im staying
have written descriptions of dungeon zones for next few posts in a day or two

uploading this one for players in game now

More Long Stairs – Underneath Down Under. Went quite well 3 of my longest gaming companions Richard, John and Michael. Each made a specialist and a soldier for the first game. 0 level DnD with automatic weapons, grenades and gun Drones.

After training party went through various landings before reaching 3rd landing and their first cakewalk. Sent to repair some cables and see an operational forward guard post they camped with 2 other squads at a Junction near a cyclopean zone and a redbrick dungeon complex. They watched a squad enter the red brick and relaxed to clean equipment and talk to the dungeon vets. Orcs attacked and killed their guards, and grenaides killed 3 men and injured 2 more in the machine gun nest. While 20 orcs charged with melee weapons, a hundred and twenty bullets cleaned them up. The re secured the perimeter with claymores and cleaned up the wounded - one just saved needing evac and another battered but walking. Michael's Iman and medic patched them up. A drone detected a growing band of 40 more orcs chanting and calling more of their foul kind.

A bomb heli drone killed many orc working themselves into a frenzy and 30 more charged the camp. Mostly mowed down in 2 rounds of heavy fire. Zulu dawn came to mind.

The redbrick dungeon door bell sounded and a battered lone trooper came out. Men questioned him and the Iman-medic was suspicious of the wounds. Chandra the drone pilot started asking the man personal questions. He flipped and turned to his true doppelganger form and attacked to be shot unconscious and locked in a trunk. Support was coming in but the two sergeants agreed a search for the missing squad was needed.

They found the remains of a Russian gangster treasure hunter booby-trapped with a grenade and hand spun hair string trip-line. They took his papers and a few kilos of loot, then began looking for the missing men. They met 4 hobbit who traded sandwiches for gold coins but couldn't really speak English. Every door was feindishly trapped and they found two more bodies, one hanging from ceiling in a bear trap. They recovered what they could and had a rush of kobolds. The tracker tried to drop a grenade ahead of them and got knocked out by a club as he pulled the pin. The blast killed him and most of the kobolds and the others were met by shotgun blasts.

They found some gold, and a magic salt and pepper shaker and a magic paint set. The tracker found what he thought was a pendant from a long lost auntie but he only lived five minutes after. Three troops were found in a room with an idol and a building up supply of flamable gas. As they carried out the men the last was singed by a trap activated singe but survived. They made it back with the three unconscious men and were praised for surviving, rescuing men and quick thinking. Aproval from the sarge got them friendlier treatment at the base.

So the Iman-medic became a Cleric, the drone operator a sorcerer, the trap finding soldier became a rogue and the rest were warriors. Next they went exploring a Cyclopean zone, prehistoric ruins with forest, various reptilians and alien ruins. They encountered various ruin and avoided crocodiles, piranha, some kobolds. A great white carnivorous ape tried to grab Chandra and got sliced in half buy gun fire but it was pretty close. They awoke a hibernating yithian who advised the to leave the basalt plugs in the earth alone and requested he get back to his nap with another 2 million years to go. They found a mummified sleestack, some purple worm eggs, a deranged senile Nazi in the wreck of a flying saucer, saw a raptor and several shambling flesh horrors get eaten by crocodiles. Turns out they were coming through a broken teleporter. They avoided a shambling horror and saved two stupid mute eloi from some morlocks and found some broken technology and took some gold polyhedrons from a sleestack ruined lab. Overburdened with additional persons they returned to base. Th nazi didn't exist on any paper no surprise but the eloi were basically slightly modified humans and have been housed at second landing and now help the menagerie staff. Care is taken to protect them from exploitation which they seem vulnerable too.

Basicly a fun new start to a DnD game with outrageous fire power. I look forward to them taking a longer trek and possibly running out of ammo and drones. There was a good sense that the orcs and kobolds only were just stopped so it remained exiting. Once they reached 1st level they chilled a bit and were a little more confidant. One specialized in machete. The rogue under my version of the class benefited with abilities the most which worked well. Another game next saturday.

Operation Rainbow Serpent
The entire “downstairs” theatre of operations and it’s control apparatus and military and administrative personnel are included in this project. Including Lucas Heights (Back up entry and labs), Maralinga (the Botany Bay gate), Woomera (Quarantine, R&D and Labs) with some links to the US Pine Gap Bases (personnel will travel through here to US gate operations).

Opened in the 50s with Maralinga Tests, there is a long history of cooperating with UK and USA. The surface is a secluded military airbase. The subterranean hanger enters into a first stage base which includes fake downstairs simulation arena for training and testing. Many personal here never go deeper. A train line connects all stations. Each is fortified with remote activated minefields, electric razor wire and drone weapons. There are two lines for personal and one heavy freight line. Up to 400 personnel are based here.

Second stage is technically down stairs and is a site for storage and study of xeno fauna, xeno artifacts and xeno methodology. It includes what is basically a motel complex with swimming pool, gymnasium, and recreational facilities for personal needing R&R from the third stage. There is also a hospital with facilities for front line combat injury, mental health treatment and a long term recovery section for classified ailments. Up to 600 personnel are based here.
The third stage is front line and combat ready. It has a secure vault style door with a secure kill zone surrounding it. From here troops are stationed on rotation and go on missions into the zones. An armoury, field hospital, basic labs and xenofauna containment building are the main feature. Up to 300 personnel are based here.

Perilous Crossings

(Reflecting on this was wondering if i was experimenting with multi genre tables with shifts from one to another. Like from humanized rural to mythic wilderness). Crossings in many adventures make good climactic scenes and cliff hangers for adventure. Here are some lazy tools to make hex crawling a bit more fun. Not as solid as some other ones but here we go - transmissions intermittent for next 3 weeks:

Useless Magic Loot

My artist says he has some goodies for me for EMO so i can get poster - t-shirt and book cover ready early next year. I'm tempted to make a Cloth map too. I can get one screen to do all made. So all good on next years publishing project. Pack hard drive, bags and stuff for my trip to Adelaide for xmas. Probably running Long Stairs Game as everyone seems interested. Will be writing, editing and laying out while I'm away. A few posters to do and my colouring in book(s).

Gammaworld players grab piles of weird crap for barter or later identification. Surely FRP heroes need the same - piles of semi useful items worth something but not necessarily what adventurers would like. I think there was a Dragon article about issue 71-ish. Anyway uncanny xmas 2 u all. Hopefully your DMs give you better loot than this. I might do some more of these. They are a mix of useless, tasteless and childish.

EMO DnD Classes pt 7: Monk

I'm keeping classes in batches of 4 for some reason
Primary Classes
Warrior - Priest - Wizard - Rogue
Secondary
Sorcerer - Druid - Monk - Bard
Pre-Humans
Elves, Dwarves, Halflings and Tako (tako done but might be revamped)

Possibly will add Paladins, Rangers though other than spells they could be built from warriors. Thinking of a class to act as a shaman/psionicist with own spell list mostly priest and druid spells but spells chosen as a sorcerer with some astral powers. Barbarians and knights can be made from the kits under my warrior and just dont need separate classes. Assassin, acrobats fit under Rogue. Would consider some monster humanoids classes later.  Did enjoy Orcs of Thar supplement based Bugbear PC in a game. I have plenty of stuff for players now so ill sit on this for a while. My bard is a bit troubled too so ill wait a bit but basically like 2nd edition.

On with the Monks:
Monks in ADnD or Mystics in Basic Cyclopedia always seemed like an after thought. I was impressed in Castles and Crusades they had been beefed up to be more like fighters. Like the Rogue the Monk is a skill specialist who makes more sense as part of a Skill based system. I wanted a monk that could cover martial  experts, temple guards and cultists. I also wanted a bit of Sohei and possibility of being a Kensai from Oriental adventures too but no spells. Unlike a fighter a Monk is designed to min max skills to become more powerful. Also light maneuverability for tactical action is one of their strengths. Id usually recommend maxing out in a weapon, unarmed combat and martial arts. Acrobatics, running, other skills handy too.  Monks may learn ancient lore or rogue tricks and stunts too if they choose. Traditional monk skills like dodge, enhanced saves, move, landing are all WP or NWP so they get the best choices of both and keep getting more every lv. Bards are a bit more magical and rogues have better NWPs and less fighting prowess. I might add some other schools. Lotsa marvel heroes like Iron Fist even ninja could fit here. I picked the Moonknight pic for its Egyptian look  just to say you dont have to be a western or oriental monk. Many cultures may have monks of sorts.

some other notes
My unskilled fighters inflict 1d2 damage
Brawling skill 1d3 - any body part, confined space ok
Martial Punch 1d4
Martial kick 1d6 (need punch first)
Martial Smash 1d8 - only one attack, break wood, bricks hand or foot or head

Monks study the arts and sciences and the physical arts of battle and the mental arts scholars. They don’t have worldly ambition, only dedication to skill mastery and advancing in monastic ranks. Different orders use different skills but all use rare physical and martial combos rather than obvious force. A monk typically uses a weapon and uses extra unarmed attacks to kick, punch and headbutt in melee. A weapon, boots and gloves can help protect the monk from unarmed attacks vs foes on fire or with touch based powers. Monks spend time training, in study and in meditation. They learn any class skills. A monk Int bonus may take a weapon normally outside their class like a halberd or sword.  Some monks dont bother with weapons at all relying on unarmed proficiencies. Monks may duel each other or have contests of skill. All monks have a Lawful alignment component.

Druids are related to priests but have their own spells and some differences with amour and weapons. Druids deal with nature and the common folk who follow the old religion of megalith builders and beast cults. most follow the middle way and serving the balance or are just neutral.

EMO DnD Classes pt 5: Sorcerer

The best thing about DnD 3.5 is the sorcerer, a slightly dumber, better fighting wizard who doesn't use vancian magic. No books, no mucking about. Makes sense and fits in with cults, humanoids or creepy folk magicians. Tend to use combat and summoning powers. By reducing choices the sorcerer is a easier play for noobs who wanna zap stuff and get to do a bit more. Also can give the wizard less competition for spells to split loot with. 

Some later classes i have may choose sorcery or wizardry or druidry or priest spell casting. So elves or bards for example might use any spell casting types - letting some benefit from wizard studies or pick others lazier systems. Sorcerers may look similar but they have some things in common with priests. They often form their own cult where members serve their sorcerers increasingly bad whims in hopes of being illuminated. Having truck with otherworldly forces can make sorcerers unpopular. Wizards think them lazy, spoiled and waste of power.  Priests and druids may also be suspicious. Most peasants dont really get the difference. 

A sorcerer may be illiterate and save his limited languages for esoteric other worldly and cult tongues. It is a very small change to even a basic game to add these guys. Some say Wizards systematized and studied sorcery to develop their craft. A wizard might translate ancient texts and study how to do something systematically. A sorcerer will mess around with some relics on a historical site and call otherworldly beings till something happens. In between they enjoy vices like drug abuse and sex and, while silly old wizards are reading dusty old books.

Sorcerers are made and born, you cant just decide to become one. Either a being of power imbues the power onto your blood or you have a extra planar bloodline already. Borne or chosen they are natural magicians who cast spells without study and can fight a bit better. Some are descended from otherworldly beings and divine bloodlines or others have made a blood pact and been bonded to a otherworldly life force. Others have been touched by divine visitors. They often are more folk magician than the haughty schooled wizard.  They may know cult or other worldly tongues or dead language which like their spells they learn in dreams. They do not require teaching or study and tend to be a bit lazy being so gifted. They are more willing to fight however out of self-preservation at least. Sorcerers assemble, more like cults than respectable wizards.
