d100 Strange Memorials

Recently on my Gothic table compilation project I found I had repeated some stuff so now taking a while to check my past blogs. It is a bit time consuming - normally i churn out as fast as I can. Id rather write 3 or 4 blogs imperfect than spend a few days editing and still get things wrong. At worst tables that over lap can just add diversity. I started d100 stuff because I don't like repeated results of smaller dice so being able to use another set occasionally or a Judges Guild book. I like my own stuff because it is nastier and grittier than stuff on market.

This is for graves to find in a sandbox to springboard adventure or exploration

Graveyard generators and basic guardians

Older crypts table and extra grave guardians- i would class these as tombs more now

Spooky stuff in graveyards

Some Definitions
In older post I had crypts as smaller structures, tombs as larger or more elaborate and mausoleum as a built graveyard. By some definitions Crypt has a surface opening and is mostly underground but mist must have a surface entrance.

Other tables described graves to loot and kickstart adventure or provide distractions. This table more about curious memorials which might just be curiosities, local colour or inspire adventurers to loot them. It's a different approach to same problem but more about decorating grave plots with interesting stuff than leading to adventure.

d100 Petty Undead

Petty undead are the sort that don't cause most adventurers problems but might ad a bit of colour. For low level or zero level you might make them fill a whole adventure. Possibly just hopping around a necromancer lab or in a tainted graveyard. Some might come from funeral urns or canoptic jars. Good for grisly Reanimator action.

Basic Stats
Most have only a d4 HP
Armour as a unarmoured person +1d4
Some with * symbol require silver, cold iron, normal fire or magical item to harm
Some have no attack or only inflict a d2 or d3 or most often d4
All can see in the dark and sense life

d100 Catacomb Dungeon Dressings

This is for decrepit built underground cemeteries under churches, ruins, cities and dungeons. Roll a few for a small complex or roll as a theme for new areas opened up or levels. Ive been playing with the Zac S system of placing several courtyards about and some other features like from my pre-keyed locations or from a table. Then I connect them with shapes based on letterforms for passages and perhaps add soe more rooms where lines terminate or meet. Ive done a few and has got me doing the whole chaotic complex thng. Normally my stuff is too sensible, rigid and boxy.

d100 Colossal Dungeon Dressings

Medieval noodle bars anyone? So returning to my Gothic stuff and rewriting some stuff needlessly. Which is ok so working on not doing this. Developing another genre project on side also. So figuring out a few basic play styles will help flesh out the rest of the dungeon zone type.

Faux Gothic Setting Adventure Modes:
Gothic castles & churches
Graveyards from village plot to city necropolis
Catacombs for built underground graveyards
Colossal dungeon is a prison and torture complex
Haunting of hell house
Romantic ruins exploration
Tragedy and doom!

Gothic castles & churches
This is to explore recent ish human structures of the officials of the nation and clergy. Big posh stone houses with religious and historical objects to make a statement. The nobility want to follow the kings style from highest duke to lowest land owning knight. Priesthood such as clerical orders and warrior monks enjoy building like this too. So adventurers may explore a modern lords home or church fort. his is basic gothic setting type and others are related to this one by being burred beneath it. While most are orderly grids, some are confused follies built by madmen, or built add hock into sprawling composite buildings.

Graveyards
From grave robbing to protecting graves or finding a specific crypt, there is always danger in these locations. Dealing with a petty graveyard haunt is a good career start. Caring for a big graveyard is a big job and sometimes bad spirits arise from tragedy or curse and even good comunities have problems. Definitely bring a priest. Built castles are better for keeping people out. Built prisons keep people inside. Making prisons a threat to criminals is important, So random torture 

Catacombs
Are underground graveyards beneath some cities or old church districts. Some connect to sewers, drains or storage cellars. Often heaped with dead and no witnesses but chances of getting lost are high. Monsters love these places and the dead walk freely.

Colossal Dungeon
This complex is a prison, often the basement beneath a ex fort or castle. Prison life is harsh but the occupants are harder. Special prisons include for mad, lame diseased or political prisoners. Punishment, cruel confinement and torture are the norm. Guards control walkways and towers while the boss lives over the gate house.

Haunting of hell house 
More a furnished fine house but the house is cursed and entities of other planes visit looking for victims, undead arise if left, cultists and madmen are drawn here to draw blood. You cant get out until you have put the evil to rest. Anything could happen.

Romantic ruins exploration
Gothics love rambling throughruins to write poems. Exploration by night is the best. The more bloody the ruins history the better. Seeking pagan pornographic art, performing thrilling and forbidden deeds. It is quite the lark. 

Tragedy and doom!
Before you start the dungeon your party can have personal reasons to be at the dungeon, vendettas with local villain, tragic pasts and more. Characters, enemies and certain locations all linked by doom.Sometimes a attempt to relax turns into a adventure or a old tragedy returns.

Im considering moodscapes for gothic sub zones. Basically a additional layer of weirdness for your dungeon. More on this later.

Im considering doing a madness table with temporary WIS stat losses and recovery rules but see my to do list below.

So far I want to spread my tables to cover these things
Quite a bit of my city stuff and maritime stuff could be applicable
Maybe my DX Psionics as a spell system and some classes renamed exorcist (Shaman)
Start writing some guidelines to use these
Will group my tables under these headers

Some Gothic Zone Stuff To Do
d100 Tragedy table - haunting covered some ideas for this too
d100 Lesser hauntings
d100 Madness, horror, shocks
d100 Alluring strange headstones
d100 Shrines
d100 Sarcophagi
d100 Madhouses and prisons

something about dramatic manor stair cases
d100 Haunted Ruins
d100 Pirenesi/gothic ruins
d100 Crimes and common punishments
d100 Non fatal tortures

Found notes on "holiness factor" for grave areas

d100 Non Corporeal Undead Encounters
d100 Corporeal Undead Encounters
d100 Wandering holy folk, hermits and hunters of unholy
d100 Secret Societies
d100 Cults
d100 Gothic Dungeon Masterminds
d100 Undead boss monsters - might do sub-bosses also
d100 Honest undead motivations
d100 Madmen and their monsters
d100 Old lonely women/hags
d100 Violent convicts
d100 Insane inmates
d100 Virtuous young nobles and ladies
d100 Wicked young nobles and ladies
d100 Emotional Hysteria to break the tension...and get adventure happening
d100 Disappointments

So my basic idea of a gothic book has expanded quite a bit. Still looking for more emotions and melodrama. Thinking of Mood effecting or eating undead, Seven Sin Stimulating devils to guide you. I need to get a look at oriental adventures spirits again.

This set designed to be for a sprawling prison complex, but also a mental asylum, a workhouse for the poor, poor hospital or slave labour. It also includes lots of torture and architectural scaled devices of cruelty.
