Octopus Princess Mania pt 1



Ok have my octopus Princess adventure ready to roll for this Friday and Saturday
Used software to make 11 pregens for cthulhu three more to do
Have map for surface quest done on board with posca 18 inches square
So starting on octo princess cards
Some plotting to do but looking fairly solid and achievable

Long stairs have some documents ready
Need to do maps and pregens tomorrow
And try to paint again not just prepping more blanks

Will wait post con b4 I post last metropolis piece and map locations etc for octopi
Will be game logs t00 from con coming....

Last year I spelled intelligence wrong and no proof reader spotted it but a player did in 3rd session. When i mess up that bad I get shy about publishing.

I'll post the Character Cards now in case anyone spots terrible typos and so some players can plan which octopus they want to play. If I have time I will make crowns for players to wear and make custom card pieces for them. Otherwise will just use generic ones I have made before and put my colouring books up for display. Spotted some inconsistent capitalisation so far but that is not too bad.

Next Post will feature the hand painted/posca map board and location descriptions in case you want to run it. I guess you could run it for kids with some slight mods as a few nasty and scary touches.

A simplified version of my DnD game reduced to almost a board game. Time track is to record hours of darkness for mission, first and last box are twilight. The mob factor records how many humans are hunting the squid kids. Every time it reaches 10 another drunken mob from the pub with pitchforks and torches and fish gutting knives joins the search then track starts again.

So here is ready to print character cards:

  1. I think you're too hard on yourself K. You put a ton of effort into all your material and if someone at a con gets upset because of a spelling mistake they need to be slapped hard and reminded that only an idiot bites the hand that feeds them.
