Planet Psychon Weird Encounters

Before i start todays post:

Im starting to have some funny dreams mashing up all my DnD setting of late which is good. Some ideas for cross overs and starting a party on psychon.

Long Stair Australian special forces visit Planet psychon and die or go native.

70s rock band chartered jet in bermuda triangle crashes on planet psychon become adventurer party.

Might have long stair things pop up on my Exile Island like some orcs with modern guns and GI uniforms. But bootlegging gangbuster bugbears might appear too.

A colonial scout craft with warp failure on return to earth crashes but not the earth they know of

Trying to sleep off flu

EMO DnD basic book im laying out now - made basic 4 classes updated and some other stuff. Spells basic NWP list and combat yet so no way ill have out today but good progress and at least i got started. Added a few little thngs to thieves again - better level bonuses for NWP than other classes so they can do almost magical stuff with skill at high level. And this:

Cut Throat
An incapacitated, unconscious or sleeping person is quickly dispatched by a rogue, allowing them one kill per level per round.

Sounds ok but im scared this could be used vs players. But you should be scared of thieves. Nobody played a pure thief in one of my games since 84 (assassins, bards yes).

Also a combat rule for shooting into groups to get a hit bonus (hit somebody). Was impressed to see two musket users shoot through two moving in opposite direction targets. Ultimate warrior tv show gave me some good ideas. Shame it was axed from cost not ratings but didn't even warn production or say slow down on blowing stuff up and experts from across globe but....

Anyway to maintain my "New wave OSR" title here is this:
