Attack of the Living Dungeon

People said don't build on the haunted moors. In the dawn age,, a great fortress of dreams was built that was destroyed in the age of darkness. Locals noticed long ago if you build even a shack here the spirits of the old dungeon will add architectural features. Local shepherds learned this, gave up building anything, and pulled down the ones they tried. 

So when a lord built a hunting lodge here locals warned the builders who ignored scruffy commoners and went ahead. Of course, the spirits used this as a nexus to regrow the old dungeon of dreams including monsters, traps, and treasure. At first, the nobles were interested but after guests vanished and the mimics ate some guests and goblins pooped in the feast preparations the princely poltroons realised the filthy poor were right.

This is kind of a random dungeon. You can populate it from standard dungeon tables. It has many minor and major spirits that maintain and service it and new features appear often. Even resting in a room opens you to the risk of the dungeon changing all around that one room you sealed yourself in. Maps made no sense and getting out was difficult. Might be good for a solo.

Golden Age Post War Hero Recap

Had a fine boxing day game with new characters. Started with a ww2 flashback where heroes raided a science bunker and Hitler got horribly burned then him and bodyguards killed with tommyguns as a villain tried to flee with his maimed body. Heroes captured the german scientists who made the nazi villains and set charges blowing bunker up with various stunned villains. As it turned out several characters were pre-super identities so one was a command hurling grenades and other was a pilot with a lewis gun.

Villains Included:
Shmertz a bald brute with a flail replacing his hand who specialises in torture
White Ape a albino racist intelligent gorrila banished from secret gorilla civilisation
Valkyrie a minor asguardian deity
Ubermensch a powerhouse and peak of super human development
Dr Gotun a feeble old scientist with a mauser
Barron Alptraum balding, with a monacle and dueling scars, had an electric rapier a weapon developer

Then jumped to River city 1949.

All characters now pro heroes and some had high popularity scores except Dr Strong who has made enemies of his former peers in Germany and not really trusted by Allies.

Sir Reginald Morgenstern called the heroes (now all official super heroes) to the Office of Superhuman affairs and recruited them to hunt possible ratzi villains who seem to be working together again and up to no good.

They went to work tracking various former villains. One, Dr Gotun was in the building working on making upermen for the Australian government in collaboration with the US government. As one hero had superhuman charisma she easily got some juice on another scientist Count Doom in a mental hospital and Barron Altraum was killed (no body found) working on the Woomera rocket range. 

Heroes on the Case
Avalanche a former commando with invulnerable skin and can grow 30 foot tall
The Amazing Bionic Woman, a former spy with lots of gadgets. rocket legs and enhanced charisma 
Ace of Aces a former pilot now with flight, hyper senses and regeneration
The Conjurer a stage magician with illusions and telikineses
Ramases an egyptian deity with flight and fire bolts and is a mild mannered archeologist
Dr Strong ex-nazi scientist who can take his miracle formula syringe to become a 10 foot tall brute. He was one who defected to the amazing bionic woman and they led the team to the bunker in WW2.

They heard White Ape was in a zoo and Valkyrie was reformed and now a hero. They went to the mental hospital and saw the scientist Count Doom with his unremovable iron mask. Of course, he had been replaced by a stooge and several orderlies using a weak version of Dr Strong's formula attacked the heroes but were defeated.

The next stop was a circus that Barron Altraum was hiding in and more super formula goons shot up their wonder drugs. Worse before he could be stopped a lion was given a new formula and grew to two stories tall. Heroes managed to win of course and not hurt the lion too badly.

Was a good session but I think 6 players and character gen is quite slower than 5 and I probably think 3-4 players are ideal for a campaign. I have a few spare villains but unlikely to get the same players all together again but will do a few more games.

I might rewrite characters a bit as the character took an hour and was tricky with large group and shortcuts were made and ppl didn't really know what to take. One player I convinced a lightning bolt barely better than a pistol wasn't great and he took TK instead so some similar tweaks for others. Ramases for example had average agility and missed often. The Amazing Bionic Woman was fantastic at shooting but a bit substandard at hand-to-hand but could slam anyone. 

The vibe of the game and setting era worked well enough. 

My SF campaign is on hold but getting to the point where gods and cultis are after them so probably not a great entry point for noob players. There is a risk players will end up being taken out of the solar system by enemies. Im struggling to make my patreon deadlines - had a family funeral to help with and a face infection from damaged tooth touching my sinuses. 

Boxing day Game: Golden Age Heroes 1949

Trying to run some long day games for break period and running a few odd one-off games.

Psychon Aquatic Discoveries & Wonders

Had nightmare sinus trouble over a week and a toot pulled  Friday and my face and eyes have been red since then and lots of pouring salt water in my nose good times. Crazy fever dreams and night sweats are okay for writing vs headaches so some progress. So more aquatic stuff cos I'm lazy.

Is a SF horror adventure on Patreon now and working on a book. I will probably get a few full days to work on it before the new year. Have a boxing day game and some one-offs so Planet Psychon will be featured.

Planet Psychon Play 2023 + d100 Aquatic Perils

So my game prep wasn't up to spec for our last game for year so ran Planet Psychon instead and realised it didn't have great aquatic encounters in play so i did this. Was very fun vs my grim Cthulhu space game so was a pleasant change. 

One player was a hairless jet skinned theif with pistols and knives and the other a orange skinned psionic sorcerer with a cat tail and eyes. Raised in a underground prison that only years ago opened a passage into a mine complex and everyone inside was mutated. A wizard in charge had been wanting adventurers in survival suits to investigate the surface that AI claimed was uninhabitable and dead. The mines were crawling with ghouls and when they went through the huge doors and forcefield they were almost killed by ghouls and needed rescues. A second attempt after they were healed had more luck/ Managed to reach the wonderous emerald forests with orange sky on the surface and found some lady bards rehearsing on shores of a white milky river. They discarded their ABC survival suits as the air was fine with a scent of sandalwood and chlorine.

They made friends and agreed to visit the citadel nearby and helped build a raft. Entering the citadel they found a society slowly claiming the citadel. Originally forest hunters they were learning technology inside the ruined citadel. Replicators and vending machines provided all people needed and goblins made anything lower tech. So heroes explored a former casino level fighting lobsters and robots and androids and decided they would try to free their people home from the prison bunker.

d100 Terrible Times Growing up an Elf

Has hayfever and pet dramas so no patreon last month
Have had up to 4 gigs a day for Dec already
Frog related dramas here too

I do want to do a book for Xmas
Possibly music and sick frogs got in way also
I find if I'm on a roll writing blog stuff it can make patreon suffer or vice versa

So if you don't know elves in my game are snooty elitist jerks. They made some other races to be slaves and even just kidnapped humans as malleable pawns. Elves are mostly immortal even the earthborn ones are very long-lived and not very fertile. Many can't even breastfeed their babies so they have to find human wet nurses. Their nobles and elites are even more infertile and struggle to care for their infants. The wilder earthborn elves survive much better but do suffer some effects of time only living a thousand years. Elves like to credit themselves as one of first people who served the gods but over time their numbers have dropped and they have become isolated.

I use a BX-like elf class but they can choose any of 4 spell lists to use and can change their class. Even zero-level elves have a cantrip and people know it. Elves are most likely to cast spells and run. They don't take risks or fight fair wars, preferring to skirmish and use vassals and slaves to fight. The nicer elves are paternalistic to the lesser mortal peoples. The evil ones enjoy tormenting and pranking humans. They would rather make a person suffer for life or kidnap slaves than just kill people.

d12 Fun Facts about Faerieland
1 Faerieland has distorted flow of time and most inhabitants are virtually immortal
2 Those who die in fairyland are reincarnated in the faerie world
3 Faerie food like fruit from faerieland is highly addictive and goblins use it to entrap humans into slavery. Non faerie food can be harmful to faerie folks and weakens their bond to the other world if they spend too long in the mortal world. It can cause them to become like earthborn faerie and elves
4 In past times faerie colonised the world and elves aided the gods in spreading life over the world. Those born on the mortal world were cut off from the fey source and are the more common faerie folk we now know
5 The bright and dark faerie do not fight as people think - they are kindred and avoid conflict. Their kings and queens and gods are the same they just have different forms to appear to their bright or dark elf subjects. They are aspects of summer and winter or night and day
6 In the great world tree you can reach realms of the bright elves and dark elves and meet all kinds of faerie folk and creatures in its branches, trunks, roots and crowns

7 Faerie folk are great gardeners of plants and fungus and surround their lands in dense defensive vegetation such as poison thorns, spore bearing fungus and ambulant trees and mushrooms
8 Faerie are long lived but have poor fertility and high infant mortality and struggle to feed their babies milk. Thus they kidnap wet nurses or swap their ailing babies with humans to give them a better chance of survival. Elves raised by humans and live eventually are contacted by their true families and taken home
9 As elves are kindred to the trees and giant mushrooms, goblins are kindred to shrubs, bushes, scrub and toadstools. Many served the elves and still do but many became feral and now hate elves for slavery
10 Orcs were made from elves once but those methods are lost in time partly due to elves killing the wizards who did this and burning their schools. Orcs were also made from corpses and med or even alchemical mud but orcs themselves gained the power to reproduce as other races. They still hate elves but some serve them There are still wizards who make orcs but many more orcs hate wizards

11 The oldest elf kingdoms are hidden from humans and do not let humans leave. In some places their ancient forests are growing again with unnatural speed. They are preparing to fight ancient enemies again
12 Dwarves and trolls are also older races with long histories of conflict and allegiances with elves. Now most trolls are insane cancerous creatures and the other troll races were slaughtered by their degenerate kin. Only giants and dragons and the gods are older

96 Served a wizard and used his crystal sphere to watch life on the elemental planes until a elemental deity whispered your name and you stopped
97 Saw the underworld prison where elder giants and old gods are chained in a vast cave of suffering by the gods
98 Live in the trunk of the world tree for a time meeting many faerie folk and travellers between worlds. There were some views from the world tree that would stagger the minds of mortal beings
99 You spent a time lost in the vast world of living flesh known as Xor. You found savages there with no metal or plants feeding from meat but afraid to take too much. Eventually you were devoured and shat out onto your home world
100 Left in an elemental plane by your teacher. You miraculously survived by your resourcefulness and luck and you barley hurt anything. you found a portal you found and left behind others who didn't make it
