Planet Psychon Stuff

Hello! As colour comes up so much in psychon i made some cards.

Also  new generators here but ive lost my correspondence with maker and im a terrible person for not crediting this work in progress - thankyou will catch up
Psychon  Citadels
Psychon Stuff
Planet Psychon Acid Punk Edition (3rd Ed) here

Mutation book on Patreon Shortly handy for psychon.

Hoping can have players do 3d6 stat rolls then then pick colour for character
(perhaps again for blood colour or hair colour)
use generators for starting mutations and property and background
for start play fast and other effects

dm could generate a hex and a citadel for a game

Possibly flavour/smell table probably the next most handy table

Dark Forces Character Sheet

My new setting a mash up of cthulhu, laundry files, zenith comics, superworld.....

Current character sheet - some more 7th ed things creeping into my homebrew brp stuff

Secret Gov Deep One Deathcamps!!!

Part of scenario for my new Dark Forces setting
Trainee recruit mission to recover data left on site
(trainees = test subjects)
Investigate possibility of unauthorised entry on site as reported by maintenance crews
(Haunted was term used)
Second map has service tunnels

I enjoyed players avoiding the septic tank cos it was too icky too look
and failing to dig graves with bulldozer grader exposing dozens of half ground up corpses and filling tracks with rotten flesh

As players hit with SAN losses some began revealing hybrid features....

Population and Land Use

A hideThe hide, from the Anglo-Saxon word meaning "family", was, in the early medieval period, a land-holding that was considered sufficient to support a family. This was equivalent to 60 to 120 old acres (approximately 30 modern acres (120,000 m2)) depending on the quality of the land.

What is a family?
1. Group of relations
2. The body of persons who live in one house or under one head, including
parents, children, servants, etc. …
3. The group of persons consisting of the parents and their children, whether
actually living together or not; in widersense, the unity formed by those who are
nearly connected by blood or affinity

If crop boosting magic about might be smaller.
Amount o support a family not a set amount but to repeat 60 to 120 old acres (approximately 30 modern acres (120,000 m2)
72430208 yard square in a 6 mile hex
divided by 120000y2 per hide
=603.5ish

omnicalculator.com - Hexagon Calculator

Pretty dense score
600 families per hex on good land
300 families of mediocre land
100 herder families in wastes
Average family size of 5 (2-10 possible)

The father was the head of the family in Anglo-Saxon England, and the spear propped up by the door symbolised his role as protector. In fact, the father’s side of the family was called the ‘sperehealf’, while the mother’s side was called the ‘spinelhealf’. The spindle summed up her role in the family, and possessions found in men’s and women’s graves confirm this.

It may have been that the father was expected to be quite strict, and even a little distant from his children. The mother’s brother (‘eam’) may have been a more caring and friendly male relative, though he only visited from time to time.

Old English has many more words for different family relatives than modern English, which shows how important the idea of ‘family’ was for them. If you weren’t very good at remembering all the complexities, though, you could call any relative ‘brōðor’ or ‘sweostor’.

You might have ‘stēop-‘ relatives, if your own parents were dead, or ‘fōster-‘ parents, if your real parents had given you away for some reason.

There were almost certainly four or five people in the average family – records from the year 1200 suggest 4.68*. Other relatives, then as now, of course, may have ‘lived in’.

People outside the family, but whose name, family and origin were known would count as ‘cýðð’. Everybody in the village and the surrounding area would count in this group. Together, your family and friends were ‘cýðð and cynn’, or ‘kith and kin’ in Modern English.

People you didn’t know could become ‘cýðð’ or a ‘frēond’ or guest after they’d explained exactly who they were. Otherwise, strangers were seen as little different from enemies or slaves – ‘ðēow’.

extra thoughts from G+
five to ten or so families support a lesser noble
So some tax involved too

But I guess a city surrounded by 6 hexes with 4 villages of 25 families

Could support :
500 per hex plus lots nobles
3000 in city plus 360 poor knights or less richer ones

Possibly river delta in middle East might get more harvests per year 3 or 4 times this
Plus which accounts for my setting metropolis pops of 10 000

------------------

JDsivraj 29 November 2018 at 16:20I recall reading somewhere a hide was also the amount of land required to raise a beef or ox large enough to butcher and produce a hide each year but still have an operational farm afterward (still have other beef or oxen or the means to rent one after killing one).

Konsumterra 30 November 2018 at 11:44
thats great too and not incompatible
Every family would want a ox to plow or would borrow or rent one
Everyone loved their oxen who are noble beasts
Each family or hide supports working ox or butcher a cow once a year

Perhaps 10 sheep, pigs or goats or mixed barn of animals = ox

Summary of Taxible Land Units and Population
Hide is a area of farmland
-Supports a family of five a well off extended family might control 2-5
-supports a working ox or a meat cow a year or ten smaller animals like pigs and goats
600 families per hex on good land
300 families of mediocre land
100 herder families in wastes
Average family size of 5 (2-10 possible)

6 Hide support a poor noble family and a knight or equivalent
12 Hide support a comfortable family and two knight or equivalent
60 Hide support a rich noble family and ten knights or equivalent
A city surrounded by six rich farmland hexes could support 3600 people
More hexes of herdsmen around that could raise this again

Leveling UpAt 5th Level and every 5th more +1 on a attribute
As of 6th level you get a follower per level and you can teach and train recruits
-a animal or pet possible with some classes
-a adventurer apprentice d4 Lv or a d4 zero level followers
-They go up a level when you do
At Tenth Level you are granted a d4 hides of land or common city blocks or equivalent real estate or take over a dungeon because some one wants you beholden to them

Exilon Play Area

Exilon in the Elder Aeon Era
So this will be main game area
Area of cities allied against various empires around them
Down river 30 miles a day easily more in stormy season
There is a village every 20 miles on river or green areas
More like 50 miles per village in beige wastes
Sea 100-200 miles per day with good wind

Reptilian League
Turquoise - Metropolis of the Lizard king
Lapis - City ruled by ancient blue Dragon clan
Dragon Spire - Home of the dragon templar cult
Shadelport - Decayed slaver city of monster empire, semi abandoned
Remnants of Serpents empire are in north islands but in decay
Lizard Kings are civilized lizard folk with some draconic cults inland
Dragon Templars serve mostly sleeping dragons bringing them food and wealth

Necromancer Citadels
Lichspire - Home of the lich king
Fleshspire - Flesh wizards of Xor
Doomtemple - Home of the death templar cult
Death Templars are religious underworld cultists
Necromancer Kings are necromancer wizard strongholds

Free City League
Ikathon - City of the Sea Lords, former colony of the fish folk
Stormhome - City of sky gods, settled by barbarians now civilized
Sunhome - City of the sun god and his kin, the first human kings came from here
Kassus - Great city of the goddesses and amazons
Sakasis - City of the good snake gods, once snake city now free

Tyranian League
Petty former barbarians but still rough with no major cities, gloomy ever fighting undead and lizards and each other. On off allies. Do have good parties and gladiator events are common.

Belloron Empire
Belleron - The great city of astrologers and their conqueror god of law.

Assura Empire
Bloodthirsty cruel empire but still better than the old non human empires.
Greatest seige warfare power.

Sythron Wastes
Barbarians but enhanced with civilized tech including chariots, waggons and horse riding archers. No permanent cities but kings have huge mobile population centres that grow and shrink seasonally. Nobles have more civilized trappings and trade more. Other barbarians think them corrupt by stink of civilization.

Barbarian Wastes
Savages sworn to destroy civilization, metal use, building, literacy, magic, wizards, religion, monsters, undead. Nomads who who assemble under great Khans to invade other lands. Mostly they fight undead, dragons and faerie who are seen as worse than civilization. They destroy walls, wells, crucify craftsmen, burn books and smash monuments. They worship tribal ancestors who liberated humanity from monster rule. Beastmen and orc tribes are common in area and all fight each other.

Arcane Empire
Elemental Wizard states founded by great emperor long ago.
Founded modern magic, literacy and military tactics especially mass archery.

Faerie Wilds
Sylvan forests growing constantly as awakening elves.
Their slave buffer races encroach on the world.

Language
Many including ancient and monsters languages have written script, spoken and hieroglyphic/pictographic languages. Script is better for business but the pictorial sacred language is common on monuments and holy texts. Hieroglyphs are very stylised in each culture bur recognisable to scholars and even illiterate people might guess what a glyph means.

S spoken, W written, H for heiroglyphic

A good scholar/priest might know:
Modern Common S W
Ancient S W H
Reptilian H
Draconic H
Elvish S W

Next
I will scale in on the Free City League next with more towns marked.
There are plenty of enemies from outside. Dangerous cults dedicated to pre human monster cults within such as snakemen and fishmen. Lots of ruins everywhere. The area tolerates demihumans and there are allied beastmen tribes often serving kings as mercenaries. The good snake and fish gods are increasingly being humanised in art. Their children are more human again.

EMO Class Skills 3 Dwarves & Elves

So more of my bastardizations of BX

Firstly Ive messed with alignment before


Alignment
I have listed specific conduct and possible taboos for main alignments before
will revise these more to include prejudice, intolerance, charity and other shenanigans

nuetral is more or less self interested but prone to juggling good vs evil
too much good or evil hurts you and costs everyone
nuetral aim at avoiding conflict outside own immediate interests

balance try to keep law and chaos in harmonious balance for all
too much law or chaos causes disharmony and destruction
balanced aim at keeping extremes in check

 ⃣  
<Neutral>
 ⃣  Good><Evil  ⃣

 ⃣  LG  ⃣  LE  ⃣  CG  ⃣  CE

 ⃣   Law><Chaos  ⃣
<Balance>

 ⃣  

Core alignments L C G E N B
Compound alignments LE LG CG CE come into conflict with neutral and balanced types
might alter the graphic to be more yin yang but not a swastika
not sure yet but happy with the mandala look
might try do a planar one too...

allows ten alignments to fit on a d10 too

Will present detailed lists of permissible conduct

So this is my task table
for saves and skill checks
optional add level to stat before calculation for easier time if you think is too mean

Prime requisite starts as seasoned for saves
-others require character to select a art to improve and are amateur
-clerics best at saving vs mind control save
-fighters best at saving vs entangle save
-wizard best at saving vs puzzle save
-rogue best at saving vs evasion save
-dwarf best at saving vs poison save
A skill slot in appropriate art makes a character seasoned
-no skill slot in appropriate art is amateur
Rolls based on rolling under stats
-auto always succeed
-full uses whole stat
-1/2 stat uses half
-Bonus requires roll under attribute bonus if any

Eg
stat of 18 half 9 bonus 3
stat of 15 half 8 bonus 1
stat of 9 half 5 bonus 0

i kind have used this for a while but this is formal and simple

i wanted saves to be harder also
centipede poison easy
giant scorpion average
phase spider hard

This is harsher than what i have been using but then i have this mechanic
Partly created to give Will (WIS) bonus something to do for non clerics

Luck Points - second chances
You can pull feats of persistence by sheer will or is it the grace of the gods after all?
Your foresight and persistence get you though stuff

Can have one plus Will bonus number of second chances per session +1
Rogues get one per level
you can spend a art slot to get one more

you can spend these points on:
1) heal 1d4 damage, use this to stop bleeding if below zero HP
2) reroll any dice roll once per session
3) change one spell in your memory to another with superior hindsight
4) have one piece of common equipment you ‘almost’ forgot to bring

possible to use my card bonus system and trade luck points for cards
but that's another story

A few notes here to on exotic arms skills
Anyone can learn one weapon expert skill (+1 hit and damage on chosen weapon)
-fighters and demihumans can learn multiple weapon expert skills
-fighters and demihumans  can learn one weapon master +2 or weapon specialization +3
Anyone can learn one rank of critical hits (20) to do roll a extra dice damage
-all fighters start with one rank
-fighters and demihumans can learn additional ranks in critical hits at higher levels

Dwarf
