Recent Shenanigans & Kosmosaurs using adventure generators

Have 2 regular games now which I hoped to be alternate weekends but now on same weekend. My regular group hasn't been able to meet up to finish an adventure with everyone sealed in so hoping to finish off. Been playing an old B series adventure while waiting for the gang to be in same room at same time again after almost 3 months. I knew going in a sealed dungeon was trouble and my normal sandbox play its not really a problem.

Been testing my druid spell book and my last homebrew bits.

I have entered into 2 collabs with more commercially successful creators which might be good.

Last issue of my Zine in digest format dropping shortly on Patreon and working on Sunderland exploration 3folds for a while, Did drop a 1st draft of exilon book also and some more drafts for upper tiers shortly.

Kosmosaurs has been good. Have 5 players and we had an extra drop in. Good to get out my SF minis and have new players. Its nice to have a simple system where ammo and other details aren't a big deal. Im enjoying as game goes on to put more obstacles and penalties as the adventure goes on. I have some urge to tweak but resisting and just working on content. Being so light we can have fantastic happenings easily and lots of handwavium that makes fun results. I'm a bit mean in I assign dinos a weight score and make dinos the correct size for species which is kinda funny in play. I also stole some other SF game aliens.

I have been using the tables in the book to generate adventures on the fly.
They work very well, especially with complications.

We got:
Banish supernatural creature > dimensional horrors
set in a palace > emperor Slorgs imperial palace
NPC a spaceship captain > a smuggler on the run
Complication - mercenaries > Kalaxian mercs called in to help

We had Dr Anklo, and two raptors ready for action.

What Happened:
Several crew were sent to OHS training about not eating coworkers (2 absentees) and the rest were on patrol. Detected an SOS and detected 3 Hypno-worm fighters attacking a space hopper. Captured two worms and sent a third fleeing with a homing drone and reported to local authorities. The hairy space ape captain didn't seem to want any more help even though on fire so the cosmonauts insisted and found stolen treasure including gold crowns. 

Turns out he was a tradesman on a planet fixing some wood in the mega palace of Emperor Slorg who found a secret crypyt. So reported to Chief Stacy and went to deliver the treasure home. Met the grateful emperor who asked them to help find the secret crypt and they got the info from the ape. Inside was a far more ancient structure with three crypts. One open and one tampered with. Also footprints of the sewer bug aliens who work sewers all over the sector. Tracked some dust to a wall and built a scanner to analyse the dead end to find an entity had phased through. Opened the tampered crypt and found dead sewer bugs drained of vital life and fluids. 

Went to report to the emperor and an alien horror came through the wall and the heroes saved the emperor and were showered in medals. Invited to stay as long as they wanted. They hoped to see if there was one more creature and went to work on building a quantum pentacle to trap the third still-sealed crypt. Meanwhile, the emperor called in Kalaxian mercs and had his throne bath replaced with a metal pod to protect him. He had sacked the imperial guards.

Then more Kalaxian ships showed up and the emperor apparently welcomed the new overlords. The team were no longer welcome. They spoke to the chief of the guards and made plans to free the emperor. The various sewer bug folk were helpful too. A stranger came in the office ripping off a fake moustache revealing it was another Kosmosaur (an emergency player arrived and had a character in 5 min ready). He was a Trex master of disguise undercover in the city and after a Kalaxian who killed his partner years ago. So they took a grave skiff in disguise up the central palace shaft to the palace com tower to boost a signal off-world for help and to hijack the Kalaxian teleporter array.

The guards on hoverbikes were searching all traffic but the DrAnklo drugged the guard and T-rex detective took the Kalaxians uniform (despite weighing 5 tons). He got the gang past guards to the com array console. Of course, it was on a narrow pylon in the open air with a kilometre drop and very windy like all such consoles.

The operator scratched his head.
"Have you put on weight?"
"I need to use that console"
"Ok but look out for Kosmosaurs some have been seen in the palace!"

So sexy rexy got the console and DrAnklo called the Kosmosaur HQ. The raptor engineer modded the console to take over the teleporters and beamed the emperor in his now prison pod into his safe winter palace and then beamed the team into the bridge of the Kalaxian flag ship. Also let the Chief of Guards take over public broadcasting to announce a revolt. They immediately began fighting the bridge crew and the engineer raptor seized the helm and rammed various destroyer class ships before landing on some skyscrapers badly. Lucky everybody was on the streets rioting.

Rex of course recognised the lasersabre-wielding overlord as the one who killed his partner and witty banter ensued before the bass went down. Then the other dimensional horror left the body and attacked, taunting the team. Was a big fight they won the end.

Give more medals and the sewer bug folk offered tho Kosmosaurs the means to access their secret smuggling network if they needed it.

Was very fast and furious and 3 hours felt very busy. 
A great improved story from a few prompts.

Pacing wise I like making success easy early on then as more frantic I add more complications like time to bring in more penalty dice so the risk goes up. Possibly one player has a weapon gadget and a dino body bonus and a skill their combat odds get pretty huge. As they get more experience I might need to amend this. I started giving a penalty die for every extra defence roll after the first in a round which helped quite a bit so at least team-ups proved more effective vs the big bad guys.

Serious fun and will play again. My first all-ages game in a while.
Found all my space minis and need to prep up.

d100 Strange Doorways in Auldwood

So commoners often find openings and doors to caves and structures on Exile island, Auldwood and Anglerslund. Often people just cover them up so kids don't find them and mess with them. Sometimes locals know about them and leave them alone due to local legend or past failures from looters. Many assumed tombs of the dead so leave them alone like good people. Sometimes people are diggining up old ruins for building supplies and good stones and find something. There are even towns that thing bringing in adventurers under contract to loot the tomb and 50% of the loot. They would rather a share with money than useless magic weapons. Maybe exited villagers tell adventurers passing by in the pub. Perhaps some kids have opened a hole and gone down and now need help?

Holes in hills - fillers for hexcrawls, local village sidequests or perhaps to plant some huge dungeon as a distraction or for later to visit.

Abyss Oaths & Gifts

Had another play at B5 and a npc was eaten by a chameleon and a wizard scared I away with an illusion of a giant snake. Did find his legs and a hand. Turns out guy was miserable anyway and had funny dreams. Turns out he was mutating into a shoggoth so probably for the best.

So here is my chaotic evil demon fan oaths and boons. Some more powerful extra boons below but many will just make you a monster. Mayby I need to do a neutral evil Daemon or a more outer voids cult one as well. I think in my cosmology I will have daimons as a common spirit and numbers of those became devils, demons, daeomons and well as various good entities. Sort of proletariate petty godlings working for the cosmos and during early calamoties more extreme alighnments have developed. In my world alignment is mostly for fanatics and the alignment requirements of gods are arbitrary, unfair and imposed. Thats why most people struggle with it or reject it as a outmoded old religion.

Hells Oaths & Boons

Thought I should do this as a handy bunch of oaths and buffs I can slap on cultists in my current campaign & homebrew. Also I have tempted many players and most of the parties into serving hell. Who'd have thought the murder hobo lifestyle would have consequences for your soul. 

Basically, in my game per level you can make an oath to get a boon per level. You also get a score added next to each part of your alignment as you grow more fanatic. Or stay non aligned and don't bother with strange philosophy and do what you want whenever you want. 

Alignment Languages
Alignment language is derived from the outer and lower planes. They are used by entities summoned from allied planes and by cultists as secret speeches for church hierarchy and secret allies. Most zero level worshipers of a religion do not speak alignment languages only educated ones or perhaps former assistants or students of magic who got to at least 1st Lv. Worshipers may chant these words without understanding them.

Hell Oaths & Gifts
LE oaths for villains in league with Hell 
Roll d12 on common oaths and if you get the same one you already had you can pick an oath from this list or roll on Rare oaths. If you have the first 12 oaths you may use the rare oaths table from then on.

Then there are the standard oaths in sets of four levels at a time that are what most diabolical cultists and bad managers adpot. You can swap any of the same set out really or roll a d4 as they will be of similar power creep. It makes better mooks have magic weapons that are possibly alignment locked and unusable to decent folk.

d100 Dirty Tricks of Dungeon Gods

Wow so i have a Kosmosaurs game on alt sunday that might turn into marvel or post apoc with several dads and sons which is interesting and probably good for me to be family-friendly. Possibly my game writing was a catharsis for when I was a child herder and being nice all day. Several of my players in customer service were the same. Possibly explains my sandbox mayhem and grimy settings.

My regular sun game-changing to sat evening and in transition and public holiday I might get a bonus few games in. Currently trying to run my Babylon game but we have had side treks into Horror on the Hill with new characters. We had some post-apoc and others going during last year's unable-to-all-be-in-same-room patch. Its good for my writing to game more.

Did most of BL1-2 The Ruined Hamlet/Terror in the Gloaming which has been for me and a friend playtesting my druid spells out. A few things have emerged from my druid system like the lots of spells that make 24 hour lasting healing beries, fire seeds, a pebble to boulder spell. Had a case where druid just dumped yesterdays and today's fireseeds on a monster and it was messy. I have come to quite like this adventure and am getting another print sequel on LuLu. 

So i have considered remastering my setting religion

-i do like my old RQ campaign gods from 90s as an older popular religion
it is very formal being the forced creation of an empire in a great elementalist heracy where elemental templars fitted all the empires gods into 4 pantheons of 12 and an evil 12 that were a bother in the 1st and second empire
-a more modern and active generation of gods I'm still writing for the 3rd age
-lots of demigods and saints often in service to upper tier gods many who lived in historic times
-lots of spirits lesser and greater everywhere all the time invisibly
-a bunch of outsider gods of the void even lots of local evil gods don't like or are using for power

OA while flawed in many ways as a book had lots of cool spells for dealing with spirits

Im considering some adventurer gods like:

Hrothgar a nasty murder hobo colonialist exploiter god all about plundering the frontier and being awful and being approved of by civilization. His nightmare shieldmaidens harpies to carry their souls to the underworld where that wage an eternal frontier war between the underworld and hell where they may kill anybody they want forever and get drunk on bloodwine. Worshippers call on him for bloodlust berserker powers or rage.

Yrilda a goddess of exploration, diplomacy, pets, trickery and luck. They also operate casinos, taverns, and gymnasiums. They bring peace to troubled places and solve mysteries. On death, adventurers are taken to a celestial tavern near the shattered lower levels of heaven meets the wilds of Arcadia and faerie land. There they recall old tales and drink ambrosia. Sometimes they may be sent to aid some foolish amateur adventurers.

There would have to be dungeon gods too and a host of dungeon spirits.

But the main point here is malicious dungeon spirits and entities may haunt adventurers with their awful pranks watching invisibly in the spirit world. They may aid local monsters who leave them bowls of blood and copper pieces in cracks in walls for them.

Clever adventurers might learn to make spirits offerings or develop magic protocols.

Roll a few in advance and apply in the worst situation for a dungeon. Most dungeon spirits will only bother a few times a day and many weak ones have limited uses of their power or to affect the mortal realm

Saves should help in many of these situations

Kosmosaur Playthrough

So had a first Kosmosaurs game and it was pretty wild.

I had read lots of the plot and faction GM stuff and wrote my own exploration tables but playing it was different. I fully read the rules and groked the system the night before and made 2 characters to test out to be NPCs.

I did a Doctor Styracosaur a boffin from HQ who gives missions to these new squads from Cosmosaur Academy. He will be a liability on the field but good for negotiations and data. 

I then did Buck Raving, a 40 ton apatosaurus with rocket tubes on his back and a sensor coms guy to back up Dr Styracsaur.

Players arrived and we made these:

Dr Anklo a 6 ton medic who most used his innate dino bonuses by trampling enemies. He has a coms suite and medical stuff and is a proper Boffin.

Sam the Pteradactyl a 8kg spy with a laser gun and armour and hackers skills - a mutated fish ate his family before joining the Kosmosaurs and he cant write.

Gordon the Parasalophasus a 2.9 ton duck billed horned honker space gardener. His family were killed be evil space broccoli anti vegetarians so now he is a cop using his extendable mono-trowl to uproot injustice. He is terrible at stealth.

Boltz Mech a utah raptor techie with a criminal past adopted by Kosmosaurs. Is a sharp shooter who thinks he is the next Napoleon with his laser

Another Utah Raptor was a soldier with a rifle

We then made the party ship.
The Pacifier, with a baby pacifier as a logo. The AI is an overprotective Nanny who is a bit difficult but helpful. The special features are manoeuvrability and a lab with a greenhouse for the biosciences. 

Then I rolled up an adventure seed with tables from book. I had been watching Fireball XL5 and Herculoids as prep. 

So we got a power hungry noble in a dead space gods corpse. They were to contact a bureaucrat of the government who called the Kosmosaurs. Turns out the mob and some other factions involved also including the Slime Lord syndicate. 

So the party got on their ship and zoomed away taking a bridge position. On the way Dr Anklo tried to make backup clones of everyone and sneezed on the betridish and was sorta satisfied. They arrived at Necros Prime a giant space astronaut many kilometres long in a space suit orbiting a brown dwarf with just comets and asteroid belts in the area. The corpse had a mine and was controlled by mean aristocrats who were originally guild masters. Various comedies like space god brain cells and nueral peptides were highly desired for AI.

So they met the bureaucrat and were put up in a nice hotel with a giant gold bath in a room connecting their suites. The made their plans. The dodgy ex crook raptor and the spy pteradactyl went lowlife and got a job offer as gang muscle. The others as posh nobles made some new contacts and got an offer to the nobles guild hall. The pteradactyl had given everyone long records of cruelty and worker abuses which helped them get close to the baddies. 

Both teams met up and made plans. So the lowlife guys got a mission to collect several VIP for the mob. The other guys got to the guild hall and heard suspicious sedition but not quite damning. Dr Anklo overcame their anti recording tech and got some possible evidence. They saw the villainous Lord Uru and Lady Carpathia. When they all met up again they disguised their ship as a pirate corsair and set of for the VIP the slime lords were smuggling into the great corpse colony. They docked with a mysterious black spiky ship and took onboard a wizened old triceratops in robes with blackened pit eyes and two berserker combat robots long ago banned. Even the Nanny AI was instructed on being deceptive and laughed evily.

They took on the guests and as they planned Pteradactyl discovered the guests were hacking the ship so they stopped it and went down below to kill them. Doors opened suddenly and robots came out. Dr Anklo and Gordon ran in causing havoc and lasers were everywhere. The pterodactyl and the crime raptor made EMP bombs. The dark dino used strange powers to resist but the team did win. The dark dino lord disappeared into the dust which was a bit odd as normally Kronsaurs don't shoot to kill and never turn their weapons to disintegrate on a sentient being. They rebuilt the robots into walking simpletons and took the evil robes. After the evil dino faded away leaving dust and was in the Kosmosaur database as an evil clone of an early Kronosaur hero.

They disguised Dr Anklo as an evil dino (beard I guess) and the raptors followed as his bodyguards. Gordon used his biogenetics and the lab to make an evil pheromone spray to help users seem more evil. They landed at a secret spacedock of criminals in the knee and a few characters went back to the head to report to the Kosmosaurs and the administrator's security. So the disguised Kosmosaurs were in this evil palace built for them in the foot and met with the villainous Lord Uru and Lady Carpathia. When it came for the evil plotters to laugh the kindly Dr Anklo just couldn't cackle convincingly with sadism but his raptor servants made up for it. The lords asked why not the triceratops they expected and he brushed it off with a "he is busy and must not be questioned". 

Eventually, the ship landed on the foot and the other guys had to hack a door then started blasting through walls. The royal dino villains sent two to guard on jetpacks and two to defend the door. Once inside Dr Anklo and the raptors attacked. Meanwhile, the Pterodactyl slipped away while Gordon finished off purple pig-faced aliens. He got to the doors and turned his gun into a one-use bomb blowing up two guards and breaching the wall. He was injured inside but the party was reunited. A few more rounds and the guards were gone. Lord Uru had a laser sword and Lady Carpatia had motorized metal teeth with a chainsaw-like bite. The noble boss crisis was averted and heroes won! 

The others humbly accepted medals and returned to ship while Bolts got on TV and took all the credit. His public speech did recruit 4 young dinos they took back to Kosmosaur Central.

The kosmosaurs submitted reports and several gambled as an option for more stats and failed. One made it. Others took the safer one area to be good at. Now a kosmosaur is bad at public speaking and another is bad at humility.

Great fun system and easy to get feel for and stage risks and threats. Players succeed lots but once they are damaged it is easy to put them under the pump by difficulty mods like a firefight, time limits or tools required. The near misses are fun. All agreed to play again so yay!   

With the dark demon dino return from the void?
The SLime lords will be out for the Kosmosaurs with hired assassins
Will those botched clones ever be mentioned again?

Gorillas are meant to be robots
