d100 Encounters in a Prison Riot




































This is meant for fantasy more than modern era or space stuff. It is horrible but as my setting is based on awful historic reality so be it. The anti slavery and anti torture movements in my world are only just beginning and players are welcome to help these causes and make the world nicer. Starting in a baseline utopia is pretty boring and in most books you yould get away from them or visit one that is secretly horrible. One of several prison articles I have done and meant to do for years. I just did a prison map thing so in the mood. Some future adventurers in a game of mine im sure will be in prison.

More Psionics soon.
What should I do for my upcomming no2000 post?
