d100 Elf Clan Missions



I was a teen elf fan and still like them in D&D and was a bit sad when i started ad&d that elves were not a class. So obviously this was the start of my whole homebrew system.

Elves suit subtypes with colourful varieties with different spells and looks. I went back to my dwarf post and added a table for a more career-based dwarf table as a type option I think I prefer for them. I suggest trying both approaches with elves also and will do so here. Possibly starting elf followers might include goblin or human servants.

I consider certain elves will have additional abilities if they are not earthborn but in return hate iron and are vulnerable to planar magic like banishment.

Elves in my game are a class but can be reskinned a bit and you could change your class in my game and specialise in a different branch of magic. Oaths can also expand this. In my SF games with the same engine, they are Eloi/Eldren modified for space long-term space travel.

My changeling class has overlaps with elves a bit - they are spirit folk who look like elves but can become human or some other form related to species or plant, fungus, animal, faerie or planar being.

Strange Stars: Spaceport Loners, Troublemakers & Criminal Orgs




































Patreon this month:
Space station cult hunting adventure a fantasy threefold for Auldwood
and some Halloween bonus 3folds

Sometimes when looking for a cult on a spaceport you accidently come across one of these weirdos. They may seem to be involved in your investigation but really are walking side quests.

Crime gangs are useful as red herrings, a source of goons for a cult without using their own kind and may be aiding a cult for money. There may be a cult within a gang involved in a takeover. Crime like the AI thinks non-profitable crime or trade is suspicious and that cults are dangerous. But some cults have resources. Criminal organisations often have their own AI recruited from outer system rejects. Some of these AI are malicious, corrupt or spies running the gang as a Psy op for the inners. 


d12 Distracting Spaceport Loners & Trouble Makers
1 Vaugn Brodsky - A Businessman from Mars Corp likes to kill a few poor people every trip to Midas station before leaving.  
2 Tanya Galzorig - Bank of Venus delegate part of a secret cannibalism club looking to help the club set up on the station under her personal control. Possible links to other real cults or just sad rich edge lords
3 Byron Corben - Suicide bomber blames inner system overlords for family colony being seized by Mars Bank debt police. Looking for a good spot or moment to explode 
4 Emil Velderman - Criminal arms dealer here to sell guns to outer system colonists, has goons and concealed weapons   
5 Arla Maivia - Professional boxer here for some illegal fight for the mob and paranoid from the booster drugs that a rival gang want to kill her. Easily provoked into her potentially killing fight moves
6 Peta Mills - Looking for drugs and asking around all the wrong places looking to party. Peta might be taken advantage of by a cult or a syndicate (as an expendable or a decoy)
7 Monica Perez - Courier and data smuggler with packages and data wary of being followed
8 Tazz Clancy - homeless spaceport beggar, trying to get a job and avoiding station officials. Might try and join a cult for accommodation or work
9 Orla Ceres - a grifter who has learned how to scam financial time delays with a partner in Mars stock exchange. Has a scam to trigger AI to start selling slightly too early and profit. Banking orgs will definitely will want her sent to a re-education colony  
10 Lars Hendrix - has a behaviour modification chip to prevent violence. A crime syndicate deactivated it for money and gave him a job. Mostly he engages in beatings for ppl who owe the syndicate money and minor acts of sabotage. If he thinks the gig is up will resort to violence or flee through busy public areas
11 Electra Tycho - punk rocker preaching anti-system rhetoric and seems to be recruiting for colonies of discontent punks. She a vegetarian pacifist but might be noticed by cult-hunting AI or authorities. She might be interested in getting some punks to do a crime for cash to fund a colony made of scrap and DIY
12 Dr Norbert Prim - this terrorist doctor has been hacking clone labs and hospitals to replace grown or printed clones to all be copies of him instead. At a future date hi AI ally will contact the clone and encourage them to repeat the process. Prim clones have tried to infiltrate colony programs, public reproduction clinics and even private facilities. Prin can alter his face and surface DNA with a living cloned full-body mask. He and his AI "Narcissus" believe he will dominate the human genome eventually. If you jump to the future in-game he could reappear or have own colony or planet

d12 Crime Syndicates
Major criminal orgs with own AI, enforcers, several levels of leaders
1 Mercury Syndicate - siphoned resources on mercury and expanded to quiet colonies in belt and kaiper belt quietly. Prefer nobody know they exist
2 Venus Syndicate - thrill-seeking bored rich with fingers everywhere using Venus coin currency. Linked to lots of corruption and will try to get people to join the syndicate before killing them
3 Marian Syndicate - operates on fringes of Marian currency and corporate influence. Has many legitimate fronts and sleeper agents. Ruthless and will silence own people if they get caught
4 Belter Free Market - practice barter and avoid main currencies, started as a belter rights group now a smuggling enterprise that will get you any goods and will kill any leaks. Operate lots of black markets for stolen and criminal goods
5 Free Mars - a separatist group that wants Mars to be independent and believes it ought to run the System. Have lots of grassroots support and prefer subtle influence over time. A few hotshots perform some act of terrorism against Terran interests 
6 Kaiper Syndicate - mostly smuggled goods and undercut legitimate trade in the outer system and avoided the law. Use distance to keep affairs secret. Move lots of drugs and firearms
7 Anti Machine League - against AI domination of Inner worlds and provoke people to be suspicious and hateful of AI. Have killed AI and are taken seriously by all AI. Rare and have small cells with active agents mind wiped on operations
8 Jovian Syndicate - a new emerging syndicate in the colonies around Jupiter but also involved in piracy in the belt and around Jupiter. They have gained commoners' sympathy with their Jupiter First campaigns and many believe they are a Robin Hood operation against the Inners but its just a scam. They often aid struggling colonies and families for goodwill
9 Saturn Syndicate - early days yet for this new group inspired by Jovian Syndicate. Engaged in lots of smuggling but also showed signs of having lots of willing muscle recruited from the more isolated colonies 
10 Belter Liberation Army - believe the inners are fat cat scum who make life in the belt worse deliberately. Have lots of sympathy and a ready steam of angry agents who hate Mars, Terra and Venus
11 Selenite Syndicate - Luna-based smaller syndicate mostly interested in data crimes and even used to cut corners from legitimate research. Also principal organisation working ID fraud and queue jumping on the colony mission register. Not very violent more impatient with red tape and even idealistic at times about their actions. Increasingly entering the bio crime field
12 The Brotherhood - a sect of killers for hire used by other criminal sects. Highest-paid kills are by agents with memory scrubs and new personalities manufactured. Involved in human traffic also but this seems to be a cover to move assassins. It is believed they are based in one or more asteroid colonies and may in fact be cult fanatics

d100 Gnome Clan Missions




































A sf horror adventure book and a 3fold fantasy per month on my Patreon - plus bonus Halloween 3 folds this month.

Like I allow other races to be reskinned into various sub-types of class gnomes offer a base for a small magical humanoid. Every game needs more of these (i didn't do this with my dwarves much or settle on my subtypes and might go back to this topic and ppl like dwarf stuff). Also types can pick what spell list they use which I use to vary types. My gnomes also get some other minor magical abilities. I prefer the type list here to my dwarf version before i rewrite my dwarf class. 

I could reskin a gnome as a type of small magical troll or brownie it wouldn't change much.
My gnomes refer to animals as people and disapprove of animal cruelty (most are vegetarian). Evil ones prefer to torment, enslave and eat humans but will be protective of their pets and become enraged if pets are hurt. 

d12 Gnome Types
1 Forest gnomes CG with green hats who use druidry and live with and help animals of the woods and live in mushrooms and trees. They can assume small animal forms
2 Hill gnomes NG love mining and craft and trade and live in vast burrows with animal friends. They use arcane magic and wear brown caps. Very materialistic and good at craft. They can assume small animal forms
3 Snow gnomes LG often hide when warm and come out when other people hide from the weather to help animals. They also live on mountain tops and have many flying pets. They use divine magic wear white caps and watch over vast areas for evil and good people in trouble. They can assume small animal forms
4 Deep Gnomes N are a gloomy civilisation that dwells in the Nederlands and they employ magical machines and pets. They employ clockwork and steam and gunpowder.  They have mole machines and airships. They wear grey caps and employ mentalist magic. They cultivate vast mushroom fields tended by mole people and mushroom harvesters. They can become invisible
Dark Gnomes LE kidnaps victims to be their slaves and uses magic to shrink them on the way in so they cannot escape once in the gnome's lair. They have concealed doors in trees and even gardens or buildings. They are notorious for imaginative cruelty and traps. They wear black hats and prefer arcane magic and they can become invisible
6 Red gnomes CE are cannibalistic killers and brigands who wear red blood soaked caps. They use arcane magic and have the ability to grow huge
7 Gold gnomes LN are haughty crafters of treasures and hoarders. Some live in cities running pawn shops, coin changers and banking. They are less interested in mining and prefer urban living. They prefer mentalism magic and have limited teleportation ability 
8 Silver gnomes NG are humbler cousins of gold gnomes who are more interested in common crafts and helping ordinary people. They like urban areas and village life. They prefer arcane magic and can turn invisible. Often help commoners resist supernatural evils
9 Sewer gnomes CN are filthy naked sewer dwellers who scrounge for unwanted trash to build new things. They often live with rats, bats, toads and other sewer animals. They use druidry and can turn into small animals
10 Sand gnomes NG live in desert ruins especially old libraries or with inscriptions. They love ancient lore and preserving knowledge. They are kindred with various animals in ruins like hawks, snakes, foxes, hares. They mostly hide from people but might help adventurers or offer to trade lore preferring arcane magic
11 Cave Gnomes CN are subterranean hunters who hunt monsters for trophies. They avoid contact with most races and excel at hiding. Other people are rivals but they may aid people beset by monsters. They use druidry and can turn invisible 
12 Slime Gnomes CE live in swamps and feel kindred to slimes and oozes that live in chaos-tainted places. They sometimes build machines to refine chaos slime and gain mutations. They prefer arcane magic and can turn into ooze to hide or escape
