d100 Diabolic Brews and Potions of the Guilds

This may have some duplication, typos, numbering flaws - let me know if any problems in coments

This was a request from a reader on G+ and seemed like a good idea. I don't really want to deal with real poisons in my game too much. I have always liked the rolemaster and MERP poisons. The Ygdrasill rpg has good info on real poisons.
In Shadelport many forbidden substances are made and sold by evil specialists of the Apothecary Guild under licences auspiced by the secret police. Such potions, poisons and drugs are publicly forbidden and criminal yet are peddled in secret by men supposedly dedicated to healing. They supply assassins guilds, thieves guilds and even drug dealers. Some ingredients are imported or smuggled into the city from foreign even inhuman lands. These are usually diluted, refined and cut with local materials to make more profit. In Shadelport even the criminals organisations are under control by the state but most are ignorant of this. Alchemists make all these things often of large scale but don't admit it and use their apprentices if possible. Alchemists boast about unlocking secrets of life and nature not selling dirty tricks to cheap killers.

d100 Villain Escapes for Marvel

Going punisher is considered by a few players occasionally when villains escape constantly. Villains in Marvel can spend karma to escape stuff effectively (more so in yellow box than blue advanced ed). Mysterious ambiguous deaths would cost heroes karma so that's another reason to do it for the villain. Heck if decommissioning a old base i could capture a hero, tell them my dated plans already over then leave them in a lame death trap then let them escape/get rescued and destroy the base full of goons with unpaid wages to get extra karma. Win win situation. Could be a possible use for alternatives to killing players too in tpk situations. A villain might change a bit or learn a new skill or get a relic for their next plan. Lots of these things are a problem or adventure for the villain but could lead to lots of things. Might just be something they explain happened to them next you meet. A d100 Mysterious Deaths or d100 or Mysterious Resurrections might be a goer.

Typically a villain does one of these things to avoid capture1 Jump into a open air nuclear furnace or gateway in doomsday device
2 Caught in a explosion, fire or flash flood leaving no remains
3 Swallowed up by the earth during a quake or buried in rubble
4 Jump off cliff into a raging river, volcano or explosion
5 Crash in a vehicle or base explodes

The Animus of Xor

Game cancelled so we sat about talking about game settings which inspired content for many blogs to come. Lots of inspirational ideas including Xor, Hell and my Superhero setting (we will have more plane travelling when we run it next so we can do weirder stuff and have TORG style shenanigans and use lots of different RPG settings). A goat adventure seed and some more weird village things too.

Hell thoughts included a patrons of hell who help you kind of escape from hell but might be cons. Also rumours in hell so players can be tempted to go on like all your lost treasure in bottom of hell, honest. Your patrons or rumours might inform you af alternate routes in hell through boiler room, sewers or dungeons instead of the faster gates that make you pass horrible tests. As boiler room is a area of hell between the layers which is used when you need to cheat to get to the next layer I will add a sewer hell as well for a alternate between hell. Possibly my sentient dungeon dimension might be in between layers of hell but would need to be set at higher threat level.

Im mostly done with a d100 evil substances for sale list for a request from a reader via G+. Apparently I am the d100 God now. I scoff at your d30 tables with only two possible outcomes. I like d12 cos it is under used, dam 2d6!

Considered some more racial mod ideas for Xor. Halflings option to reskin as a race of fatties who love comfort and food. Elves reskin option as skinnies - hard working, no fun, logical and efficient who fight the fatties. The fatties fill their trenches with treats and pillows and stoves and snacks so tend to loose. Fattypuffs and Thinifers book i read as a kid is awesome inspiration. More giant babies - colossal baby giants need to be a monster type and a race of baby men (reskin from dwarfs?) who are angry and demand respect (Dr Who Xygons are babymen with suction cups and bio tech fits in with Xor). A more child like reskin of hobbit might be a goer. Mutants and shamans should be character types. Possibly resist urge to redo whole rules set. Have done lots of drawings of buildings, doors, border designs even a prison made of eyestalk posts with barbed wire like growths connecting them like a fence. Have considered more biotech stuff for Xor to replace other tech and some might view Xor as a biological machine (possibly haywire) Dwarf might be good biotech masters who grow houses, weapons and living armour. Some other ideas too for starting native on Xor including using skin colour table and a table of basic mutations and body mods.

Animus is the life force all beings on Xor partake in. Xor itself has the strongest shadow over Xor and is mostly distant and deals with communication on simplest emotional or automatic response. Many spirits make up the remaining animus including spirits of the dead awaiting reincarnation, elementals and evil demon spirits and even the spirits of Xor subsystems which might be more communicative or even more god like. The animus keeps everything living, moving and breathing but also breeding, evolving and mutating.

Animus is one of the four elements of Xor among bone, meat, water and animus. Wizards schools specializing in it are common. Druids have domain over the animus and its use to fertilize and alter life, they recognise Xor for more than individuality or sentience. Priests talk of Xor as i sentient willful being who cares about things besides just growing and living. Evil priests and necromancers are opposite of working with the animus. They trick and misuse it for power and death, they use the ant animus, the negative anti-life force of death. Psionics is a branch of magic that deals directly with the animus and users can manipulate their own spirit to in turn control their own body or manipulate the minds of others. Many psionic spells use remnants of life energy and discarded thoughts and emotions.

Xor and the animus are parts of the same thing but they could manifest as separate. Each is in fact made of many smaller units of cells and spirits that manifest as separate. Xor is not just the world, all beings in Xor are Xor also. There are many strange philosophies on Xor. Monster worship or worship of local terrain features like giant mouths in the earth is common too. Nymphs and sewer monsters and pit beast might be worshipped. Invading elementals or demons or other planar invaders might declare they desire worship. Even warlords or kings or wizards or priests might declare they are gods or prophets who commune with Xor. Elementals on Xor often use local mass to form from with their spirits.

Water - sewerage, urine, milk, blood, sperm, oil, tears, sweat, stomach acid, serum, spit, wax
Earth - bone, desiccated dead skin, feces, scabs, teeth, keratin, smegma, Calloused dead skin
Air - air is available but could include methane, carbon dioxide, might contain strong odours
Fire - is rare on Xor but might include auroras, electrical neural energy or field of rapid oxidisation

This is a table you can add to hex descriptions to see how the Animus of Xor is behaving locally. Its a good thing to roll to have a overall hex event that life is dealing with or use to change a hex players civilise too much. Fighting biological processes can be a adventure or this stuff could just be part of background scenery.

d12 Phenomena could be stopped by...
1 Finding a organ in a subdermal tunnel complex guarded by monsters like trolls
2 Contact the spirit of Xor somehow at a special place of find a archpriest or prophet
3 All because of a comet (a hairy star) that could be traveled to or contacted
4 A lost temple in a underground abandoned citadel swarming with goblins who worship a demon
5 A beast or demon or wizard is to blame and must be killed their hiding place or lair

11 A mighty wizard, lich lord or greater demon has made a stronghold where it works its evil scheme
12 A special nutrient fed into the right mouth might stimulate the animus to roll a new activity

Maybe the Animus is mad at adventurers?

Xor and Ideas for my next version of my home rules

Had last session of Xor with LOTFP rules in Sydney. Im off to Adelaide to welfare again and hopefully I can bet some games going there. No game shops in city but card ones and 4 comic shops one which has RPG nights. Am more interested in DnD5 and my eyesight has improved along with my diet and new meds and Ive lost over 7kg so that was good. A bit too much good shopping in Sydney and got some game stuff and toy cars I shouldn't have.

My next house rules draft will be streamlined and simplified. Also meaner. I'm a bit influenced by the starkness of LOTFP and lots of the one use per fight abilities in 5th ed. So I will tone down some of the cumulative bonuses and mods that made a few characters a menace in play. I also killed my first PC in years tonight. Im quite good at making everyone feel at risk and i like killing followers which upsets players quite a bit. Had players resurrect another character's dead wife after he got remarried - fun times.

This was over two sessions and had a player swap second one due to food poisoning save fail.

So the brothers were sent by the wizard of Skulltower to help the yellow men of the Scarlands so the adventurers flew by blood hawk to the entrance to the goblin flesh tunnels carrying the cowardly leader of the yellow men a lesser wizard. They arrived and climbed in the puckered sphincter gateway. Found several tunnels from a chamber with a drool pool. One smelled of salt. One had air moving in and out. One had scratch marks another had bloody goblin and human footprints and sled marks in the damp floor.

So one tunnel they found a stinking side passage into the depths. In a sewerage filled pit a eye gazed at them and tentacles reached for them. A voice called their minds inviting them in and the warrior was slapped by a feces covered diseased tentacle so the fled. He was diseased by knew he could fly to a priest so they went looking for goblin slavers with the old wizard. Raided the goblins and killed most and freed the slaves. Surviving goblins were tied up and made slaves. Awaited the rest of the goblins to come home and captured them. Spoke to the goblins about the dungeon and the sewer god they worshipped. Went to explore more and found a chamber of breasts the goblins and baby monsters used. A egg chamber where monsters were born. A starving rust monster they fled after the clerics iron studded mace was destroyed and eaten. Found a lung room with morlocks working on a starstone and as they cut through the membrane the rust monster smelled the forge and ran in chasing the morlocks iron. Morlocks were killed and the rust monster was left happily gorging itself on hammers and the meteorite.

The brothers returned to Skulltower to get healing and the priest was required to initiate new followers for a while. So the warrior turned amatuer wizard teamed up with a female Elf dandy from Sweden in metal armour with a piebald pony who had arrived on Xor.  Flew by hawk to the humans in the former goblin tunnels and set to work exploring. Followed the scratched tunnel and found one brach was a owlbear lair and another was the goblins meat mine. They looked about the mine and the Owlbear arrived screeching and naked. They shot at it then closed. The elf flintlocks were a surprise but the furious bear kept attacking. They managed to kill it, skin it and collected it's foreclaws.

Planned to get the humans to collect the body later. Went to the salt smelling tunnel and found a chasm with with a ruined spanish ship in a pool of drool. Ruined shacks and skeletons littered the shore. The adventurers got closer. The warrior wizard examined the skeletons which had been gnawed and the libs cut off. The elf on overwatch saw a chest in a shack and both looked inside and found a sextant, spanish maps and gold. They got into a conversation about the treasure when the warrior heard a snip sound near his ear and the elf felt something hack into his flesh. A giant lobster had come up behind and surprised them. They scattered and ran the warrior scattering some meat to slow it but it chased the elf and snipped his head off.

Ran back to the villagers and rested. Flew back to Skulltower and the wizard sent him back with a muscle bound violet skinned amazon. He was a bit sheepish about what happened to his short lived elf friend. The new duo went met the villagers and took the old man and two javelin wielding skirmishers along. They lured out the lobster with meat on a rope and killed it in a hail of javelins. They gathered to loot and found footlong lobsters in the flooded bowels of the ship. Gathered some iron nails too. Moved to next forbidden chamber  and found three gelatinous blobs rolling around a jally lump with a spaniard treasure chest inside. They shot the smallest and retreated shooting as the blobs were not too fast. The new warrior woman got into melee with her axes to test her muscles and the jellies were killed. The chest had thousands in spanish gold and silver and aztec masks and idols. Not too amazing to Xorians but still ok. One of the masks could detect magic, only magic things seemed clear and real to look on.

The last tunnel the goblin slaves had warned lived another god.
"How is it different to the sewer god"
"Oh it has more tentacles and lives in a slime pool not sewerage"
"Great"

So they battled a roper and were horrified to feel their strength sapped away. Managed to break and burn some tentacles but two skirmishers were horribly pulled into it's mouth and horribly ground up as swallowed whole. Heroes managed to destroy it's tentacles and throw javelins. The monster unable to escape had no choice but to charge. The old yellow wizard ran off and returned with two more men and more javelins and the roper till it was killed.

Retired to the village and helped them take charge of the caves which would be a important trade stop and better than the old village with nothing but slime to eat and drink and whose main export as dried slime. They took some of the goblin slaves back to Skulltower and rested. Perhaps next they would kill the sewer god or go to the yellow city which was occupied by metal clad outlanders from Europa.
