d100 Empty Houses In Shadelport

Shadeloport has many empty buildings. Not just the pre human haunted ruined areas where only desperate or adventurers go, but throughout the city. The wealthier areas are hard for adventurers to enter and wealthy houses abandoned are often guarded and and the militia will protect then more and listen to complaints from locals. In the poorer areas abandoned houses are common and many are inhabited by squatters.

Slum lords often pay adventurers to clean out houses. Such houses are cheaper and a good investment if you can repair them and chase out squatters. Many have worse things than squatters however and some are very long abandoned.

I had whole campaigns revolve around real estate empires.

Properties are seldom empty when purchased. Some have tenants with leases (some for life and cheap). The rest have squatters or worse.

d100 Things off duty devils do

Do the devils work and do it well! But even devils have things to do in their own time. Idle hands do the devils work they say but devil downtime means doing things for themselves. Tormenting souls might be a job but those souls belong to someone else. In their own time they torment souls they have shares in and are more profitable personally. They also socialise, wheel and deal, eat, drink, love, screw and have hobbies. Dukes of hell use free time to control the lesser devils but arch dukes in turn use them. Devils evolve over time by service while demons are more haphazard and mutate and use luck. Demons are lazy and indolent mostly but some serve greater demons or devils  to gain more opportunities to gain power. Devils advance slow and steady demons are a mess and go up and down with rare spikes advancing them or turning them into ooze.

There are a few commodities devils enjoy and trade

The damned are souls of the dead sent to hell for being lawful evil. They get a chance to be tormented and abused and possibly advance up the ranks. Mostly they are just slaves to be abused. Some are naked or wear grave shrouds. Some are corporeal some are semi intangible phantoms (they require more cerebral torments). Some hells have specific local damned. They are valuable as food, slaves and objects of torment and raw materials of other things. Damned are harder to kill and if they die are reborn from the soil of hell possibly in a new form.
.
Hell rum is distilled from the suffering of the damned. It is sweet spicy and fiery rum that gets you drunk and makes mortals scream in pain and terror. It is addictive but can be cured by regular alcoholism.

Hell gems are worth hundreds of gold but in hands of mortals a save is required or owner becomes paranoid and greedy for more more. They are willing to keep wealth to themselves and believe others crave their hell gem and money. Devils leave them on the mortal plane to undermine economies and ruin the rich. Gems are made by putting damned in a special furnace for 60 years.

Hell Metal is reddish gold metal that can be enchanted to up to +3 and even without enchanting can hit beings requiring magic to harm. It feels warm to the touch and is receptive to fire enchantments. It is also used instead of gold and iron. It sparks if struck by iron or silver.

Devil Weed is a herb devils smoke, it is addictive ans being without it causes mood swings and spats of anger. When on it the user is dreamy and relaxed and reacts less to horror and fear. +2 save vs fear if user fails saving throw and develops mild addiction with first use. Three fails in a row causes permanent addiction. In the mortal world is hard to get as it only grows in hell..

Larvae are the first stage the damned take evolving into various devilish forms. These idiotic human headed maggots bite and squirm and cry like babies. Lower planar beings trade them. They may also be evolved into orcs which are handy when earth born troops are needed invulnerable to magic that stops planar beings but it is a bit of a waste.

Stench Kows are stinking hairy cattle covered in sores and also a evolved form of damned made from larvae. They provide meat, hide and stinking dairy products. Sausages are a popular byproduct. Their faces have a hint of humanity and are slightly more intelligent. They also are used to carry goods in baggage trains. They eat any plants in hell and especially steal devil weed crops.

Urchins dream of looking this fine

Urchins of the streets of Shadelport are a tough lot. Most are zero level thieves with two skills and a weapon proficiency. Most grow into thieves and a few into fighters. A rare one joins church. Urchins might flock together and squat in abandoned property. Some are affiliated with gangs who encourage kids to be criminals. Others are recruited by criminals to perform jobs where small size or adorableness are an asset. Some would like to get a better life. Some will fake it and rob charitable supporters. Many have witnessed horrible things and are damaged. Some might grow into murder hobos. This could be a good campaign start and could be used as a background. Orphan catchers sell orphans to sweatshops, slavery and servitude to houses, ships and tradesmen.

Inspired by....Roadwar2000 pc game and it's sequels
Games (sweat) Workshops dark future setting
Jack Yeovil Novels set in that universe
Dark Angel
Judge Dredd
Max Headroom
Speed Racer

You can mix stuff from these games in this setting:
Cyberpunk
Cyberworld (Death Valley Free Prison is a must sourcebook)
Carwars and Autoduel (also lots of good GURPS stuff)
Dark Conspiracy had some great monsters
TSRs FREElancers and FREE America setting for Top Secret
Mecha, mutants and undead from other settings are welcome
TORG was some weird and near modern stuff


A couple of points for my setting

It is set in Australia in the year 2000
Time changes slowly possibly time is broken

Timeline diverged in 1980s or 1970s from our own

Climate and economy suffered, crime grey and highways fell to first gangs. Crime especially murder increased at unprecedented levels. A new highway interceptor patrol was created to eliminate gangs. Their were lights in the skies government agents investigating Fortean phenomena.

In 1980s Zone Wars covered most of the equatorial nations of the earth. Started as brushfire wars and police actions then escalated into limited nuclear conflicts. Nuclear terrorism attacks in the west then the plague outbreaks finished first world involvement in the conflicts. The wars kept communism going and spread through the war zones. Crime rose and fuel shortages gripped the planet. The plagues made everybody retreat in panic.

By the 1990s world wide plague killed 40% of population

Many survivors were in fact carriers of an alien undead or mutagenic nanoplague. The plagues generally reduced intelligence and increased desires like cannibalism and sex.

Climate shifts and mutagens affected crop production

Cities built walls around cores and outer perimeters with quarantine forces regulating passage

By mid 90s zombies, mutants and gangcults were no longer a myth and most people wanted nothing to do with life outside cities. Wasteland is for the oor and criminal classes. Car combat races went from underground gangs to prime time TV. Airships increasingly took over trade for foodstuffs. New zone war involvement in west used cyborg technology and millions of cyborg vets returned home with minimal psychological support. Many went to the wasteland.

By late 90s rich dead and infected are kept in crionic mausoleums by Necrotech in hopes of restoring them to health. Most of the rest of dead are cremated by law. Mass graves started in late 80s become undead hotspots. Corporations increasingly take over. Governments mostly concerned with tax and military. Studies based on the nano plagues advanced many fields of technology including power systems, materials, energy weapons, mass customisation factories, robotics, cyborgs, androids, clones and more are available at a price. The wastelands have gone backwards salvaging everything and using retro but more easily repaired technology.

In the year 2000

Murder Motorsports are no1 TV viewing
Killing apearing in more ordinary shows to keep up

Zombies have made some wasteland areas no go zones

Mutant ghettos and shanty towns sprung up everywhere

UFO sightings have increased

Gang and cults in the outback are most common settlements outside of towns

Fortified outback towns operate as states with tolls and taxes and militias

Semi biological undead vehicles are found on highways with undead drivers

Murder Motorsports are everywhere, every community in outback has armed vehicles

Solar and bioslurry fuel plants are common. Roadkill and plants and anything organic can be made into fuel easily. There is a decrease in dumped bodies and cremations as anyone can turn them into fuel. Some collect zombies and mine graveyards. Strip mining forests has helped desertified some areas.

Meat production becomes prohibitively expensive, most eating modified algae, soylent green, altered yeast and grains. Fake meat products far more common. Cannibalism is common in outback.

City states operate police departments. Many police forces are privatized and multinational. Smaller towns operate elected sheriff departments. National governments operate military. Private and corporate security forces are common.

Drugs are not considered a serious problem anymore. Sobering drugs are common.

Mainstream religion has declined. Small sects and cults thrive with charismatic leaders. Catholic Church operates like a megacorporation with own espionage agents, military, arms factories, drug companies and sanctioned ops.

Richest corporations experimenting with androids, clones, cyborgs, uplifted animals and more. Several Prehistoric parks have gone bankrupt and some animals have wandered off.

Asteroid mining has been tested. Their are several national and corporate moon bases. Killsats and orbital arcologies are in orbit and growing in numbers. The mars mission disappeared and is clouded in conspiracy theories. The massive zombie outbreak after the mars mission black out is seen as suspicious. Funding for a second Mars mission is being raised now with joint multi national and corporate and military support.

Most undead are slow zombies. Faster zombies eat voraciously and are called ghouls. Intelligent ones vary but are sometimes vampire like. Undead sometimes act in coordinated manner and arise en mass as if directed by a signal. Undead have attacked the Necrotech crionic banks, possibly to liberate undead and infected corpses. Most people don't want to accept possibility they are some kind of cog in some scheme. There are possibly undead on the net.

More stuff for setting...

Celebrities have had different career paths and might turn up as astronauts, politicians or race drivers drivers.

Alter popular film, tv, game and book names to be more violent

News items every session to reveal the setting and create adventure hooks and NPCs

Introduce new tech frequently

Yes you can have mutant undead dinosaurs but not everyday but 90% of threats should be gangs

Conspiracy theories are rife. The Cthulhu mythos probably real. Yes there is an alien invasion underway. If you want include occasional Kaiju, ninjas, super agents, hammer horror monsters thats ok. You dont want to give objective answers to what is going on more worry that everything possible is going wrong..

Mobile phones are mostly used by elites and inner city Controlled zone residents. Having a phone attracts trouble. Pay phones are common but fifty fifty vandalized outside a pc zone. Car phones are common.with 6cd changer laser disc players.Slightly dated and future tech are welcome. Everyone smokes Marijuana cigarettes.

Murder Highway Image Dump 3

Here is my genre image dump for Murder Highway where I show some inspirational art I find and use it to spin some stuff on the setting.
http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/murder-highway-image-dump-1.html
http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com.au/2016/07/murder-highway-image-dump-2.html

One thought of this setting is to try some earlier periods in setting like 70s or 80s or do as flashbacks letting players add few features and careers between the decades - start out 70s toughs, go through cyborg wars with brains erased on release, a decade in wasteland where gain mutations. Let vehichles evolve each decade too. This is an awesome poster, Japan does some awesome film posters.

People forget about sub compact cars. It is cheaper to ermour them up and o for best wapon with your minimal space. They turn out tougher than people think. Armour plated with a laser turret for example and a gunner makes a beast in a death race.


This Porche is well armoured, still fairly fast and has a 4 pack anti tank rocket pack and medeum machine gun in the front, plus 4 anti vehicular over the horizone missiles. A deadly vehichle for quick engage and destroy missions and the speed armour and gun are still formidable once the main munitions hav been fired. Such a vehichle made blitzcriegs on tanks to good effect.



Fire can be pretty deadly even ust as a visual obstacle for drivers. Most panic but this op with fire proof armour also can relaz vs lasers. ECM systems scramble guided projectiles like missiles and rockets. It uses two forward and one medeum laser in the rear. A excellent but expensive modern persuit vehichle.



This vehichle has had its suspension raised for off road handling and ground clearance making it a bigger target. The bosted engine is a bigger target too. The cabins are well armoured with ports for passengers and a .50 cal gun on the roof operated by crewman through the hatch. Keeping water and fuel on the otside would be for long trips only. This would be a boss car in a gang or perhaps a militia or poor mercenary car.



Penal race shows prform well and criminals get to earn their freedom if they out kill all other contestants. Some circuits cover multiple races with different prisons with state, federal and private leagues. Many who win and earn freedom perform well in outside death races. Some of the crew in a team might be released or killed during the race which ads tension.



This prison racer has two medeum linked mini guns able to destroy an APC or whole biker gang in a burst. The performance and armour is enhanced and the rear has extra armour in a detatchable slab. The reinforced armour is made for ramming.



A well armoured death racer or urban gang boss with four frontal medeum machine guns and a gunner operated one in the cockpit. The front wheels are modded with hub scythes to destroy rival tires. The rear tires are covered by the car armour. Fast and well armoured built for offence, persuits and defence. A serious vehihle.



Murder motorsports well represented by the ladies. Many live short bright lives but those that survive are hard as nails. Sponsorship comes easy with million dollar mens magazine shoots providing pin p racers eams with the best quality and looking tech. This 70s looking hull conceals a host om modern weapons. Rear oil caster and machinegun and 4 rockets to the rear with twin MGs in the front. Relies on speed and arms to win over armour and fire power. Fans for these ladies can be a bit fanatic. Some merely ry to steal souveneers or meet them. Other avenge them and sabotage oponants. Plenty of women just stick to being tough with brutal cars but they still get offers for cash and selling out to sex.



This Japanese car is about speed and endurance and has gas and oil projectors in the rear. A pop up heavy laser in the hood is the main weapon. The crew wear armoured spacesuits which ad to their survivability and g force tollerance of rocket boosted acceleration.

Saltflat jet and rocket car racing is pretty exiting and big budget mostly corporate teams. Some are sponsored by space agencies. Murder racing made it international TV and even bigger batches. Seeing missiles soar over kilometers and cars shoot of track and explode in a cliff is awesome.

Jet and rocket cars influenced other high performance cars and death racing. This baby has two large missiles and a .50cal machine gun. There is a medeum laser on a swivel mount facing rear. Chromium jet age retro sf look to get camera attention.




Airships travel so high most ground fire cant see them. Some are used as troop transports. Not as big as the 10 000 man airship bases used in the zone wars but Australian military have some with 2000 man bases. Typical desert raiders like this intimidate small communities to surrender to be robbed them. They might also drop 20 paratroopers to perform a surprise attack. Some sky pirates are using designs with prop planes or ultralights.


You meet all sorts in the waste. Cyborgs, mutants and aliens oh my. You would be disappointed if it turned out they were just millionaires jacked into android bodies out for kicks.

Genetic reconstruction theme parks were all the rage from the late 80s but most shut down and their automated facilities have let some species roam free. Here Cretacious Park and Piestocene Green exhibits meet

Drones are getting smaller and more hive like. A Necrotech surgery drone team of six could handle emergency surgery in extreme conditions. The can be hacked and turned into assassin drones. They are a byproduct of space and military tech.

Bunkers like this dot the coastline after the 80s zone wars. Australians killed millions of refugees in famous "battles". Ruins of these bunkers still contain chem weapons and many are now mutant gang headquarters. Some rare ones have space for hundreds below the surface for nuclear warfare.

Punk never died in the 80s, it just got worse. Gangs rampaged arounf poor suburbs and the outback for thrills and territory. When the urban walls went up they were locked out. The rich glitter punks of the inner city are soft and fake. Most become suits when their teen years expire or the trust funds get empty. Punk gangs even broadcast their own tv channels with bands, nihlism and anarchy talk shows, punk porn and best gang murders. They also have own coverage of death races and encourage terrorist attacks on legitimate honest racers. Punks also hack the gov and corp data banks but their trustworthiness suffers from gang and cult dogma and conspiracy theories. Possibly 30-40% of the population are punk with even tribal punk clans.

Robot dinosaur battles are a new event with teams vs  cybersaurus. Various contest modes exist including harpoon and capture scenarios. Cheaper than real dinosaurs for the corp TV events.


This art and following is from Waste Knights which Im increasingly interested in. Has lots of spot on art and world building hex building fun. Seldom I see a game that screams movie please.

Anyway this game looks freaking awesome and contains elements of my favorite computer games.
http://www.gamesgazette.co.uk/gg/main.php?p=content/Board%20Games/Waste%20Knights.htm

Walls with look out towers are common defenses with car traps, pits, metal spiked posts, concrete pillars arranged to make car entry impossible all help fortify a town. They also act as cover for ground troops. Towers are very useful with a sniper or rocket defender for extra utility. They are obvious targets however.



Many areas are industrial wastelands. 80s era slag heaps of open cut coal, chemical waste, garbage, and miles of tidal muck. Only most secretive cults, desperate gangs or secret black labs would operate here. Hazardous for any surface or wet vehicles. Hovercrafts even risc tearing or damaging their skirts. Mutant crustaceans, protozoic colonies, crocks and squid things lurk here. Fishmen especialy enjoy human free habitat and water access. There is plenty of loot in containers to be found on warfs and warehouses and factories. Some manage to fortify and operate a factory and even grade a debris free route away for trade. I wish this pic had some tires.

Refineries are a important resource processing massive amounts of fossil fuels and bio fuels. As these plants can process anything organic the areas around them becomes desertified. The biofuel converters some cars carry process road kill and scraps reducing need to buy fuel. You can always spare something organic to get some fuel. The military use them in trucks to support other vehicles and to process mass enemy graves into fuel, thus reducing war crimes.. 

A store with a garage near a refinery and a gun shop are the minimum need for a long range murder racer. Some food to eat and perhaps a chance to trade or drink help the hospitality. Careful you don't take food from cannibals while in the country. Plenty of ruins and trouble everywhere, opportunities to die in a blaze of glory or build something to stand against the entropy of the waste.

Wands and the magic animals that steal them

Archbeasts are magical varients of normal animals.

Archravens
These thieving birds love magic trinkets but need wands to build a nest. Only a few will live in hiding near wizard common areas. Possibly they were bred to find lost wands or to rob apprentices performing silly deeds with cheap common cantrip wands. Some of the greater archravens possibly recharge dead wands or even make them.

Possibly created by a wizard to remove cheap wands from kingdom. Or chosen of a god or possibly a by product of magical pollution.

A raven nest requires at least three wands. Mother Archraven can fire off each wand in a round if she sits on the nest. Father archraven protects the nest and leads the older children to battle. He can also copy spells he hears being cast and cast them back.

Older children without a nest have 1HD AC+15 Att Peck1d6 MV 18" fly

Mum and Dad have a HD per wand AC+16 Peck dependant on wands and MV 24" fly

Three Wands 3HD D6 peck INT 9 snatch and grab wands mostly
Four Wands 4HD D8 peck INT 12 can open locks, disarm traps and pick pockets
Five Wands 5HD D10 peck INT 15 require magic weapon of +1 or better to harm parents
Six Wands or more 6HD D12 peck INT 18 plus gain magical recharging and craft spells

Dad can cast spell levels equal to his HD per day. He can copy any overheard spell he has heard that day and recast it. He can only remember one spell beyond a day at a time and can always use it. If he hears a better spell he can call that his one spell.

At six wands mum and dad can use arcane skills and rituals to restore a charge per day. Given a month they can make a wand from dads chosen spell or copy a existing wand. It is easier to make a cantrip wand than a better spell and they are lazy. It takes a week to make a cantrip wand and a month per level for greater spells. The do this when the colony needs to split.

At seven wands children will leave nest to start a new colony with three wands. The detect magic items at will and can spot a spell caster. The nests have arcane patterns and parent birds demonstrate unusual magical skills to identify wands and use them. Any family member can use a wand and they might each take a wand and fly away if they have no eggs and are under threat.

Normal ravens contaminated by magic and stealing a first wand might change the whole clan into Archravens. They need at least three to get the basic powers and stats.

Some have managed to trade wands but they are not easily tricked. They prefer two weak wands to a more powerful one that has little use to them. Offensive wands are the most desirable. Sight of a new wand gets them cawing and croaking.

Most wands are petty ones that cast cantrips with 1in6 chance per wand of a superior wand.

Archbeavers
Build dams from magical wood woven into sigils which grants the beavers and their dams magical power. They are magical awakened when beavers gnaw on tasty magical wood like wands. Similar stats to giant beavers but their dam stores magical spell energy levels and the leader beaver gets extra powers of Raise/Lower water, wall of water and create wood golem three times a day. 2HD wood golem servants and guards are a important part of the beaver community. For every ten yards wide of magically woven wood the beavers dam has a spell energy level. The beavers draw on this to cast spells as if they were casters with levels equal to HD. Different beavers cast as clerics, wizards, druids and sorcerers.

Beavers will integrate found magic items into dams especially wooden ones. Effects of these are inconsistent but grant all beavers in family a benefit. A +2 spear might give all beavers a +2 in combat. A wand could be fired in defense by the spirit of the dam. The dam is regarded as holy and alive with it's own spirit. The wood golems are a part of the dam. Angry beavers might prepare a army of golems to  gain magic items or protect the dam or foraging area or river. Druids often place additional defenses for dams. Frog and toad folk might also protect the dam. A Archbeaver dam might go to war with a village over water rights or resources.

Will be looking at some more extreme apocalypses far more extreme and gonzo than Murder Highway

Anyway this above images from Waste Knight game looks freaking awesome and contains elements of my favorite computer games like Roadwar2000. Poor Ayers Rock now a missile silo.
http://www.gamesgazette.co.uk/gg/main.php?p=content/Board%20Games/Waste%20Knights.htm

My setting not like this pic from but alternate Sydney's might be already intermixing. Emanations of alternate futures might be interacted with in a dream like state or during temporal anomalies.

In murder highway the centre is desertified but some coastlines shrinking. City centres so walled and enclosed and above waterline they are not effected. Outer zones have more flooded sections. Some cities like Venice where people hang on like Sydney other like Adelaide leave semi sunken ruins to hell. Mutant crocs love global warming.

My planet Psychon is what i made when unsure if i could run gamma world or dnd. It is where my gamma world type gonzo games. Murder highway keeps it's face more straight. It is more like a 2000AD comic or anime while Planet Psychon is a Saturday Morning Cartoon for adults.

Also look out for upcoming mutant crawl classics

And Mutant Epoch

My game is a slow motion apocalypse in progress not a true post apocalypse

Im a big fan of TSR Gammaworld second edition, it is one of best games ever, and one of best designed box sets ever. Gammaworld could be my setting in 300 or 400 years in the future but needs more undead.


Ghost in the Shell and a few anime influentual too.



Morbis Gravis and Druuna comics in heavy metal was awesome and a big influence on my decaying bunker/city/spaceship settings. Xor and my ruined spaceships and mutants all owe something to this. Lots online but very adult and a bit too much bondage and butt rape for my taste. The story is a dreamlike mess but the setting is incredible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druuna

 
So Dark future to return as a PC game. 
http://www.beastsofwar.com/games-workshop/games-workshops-dark-future-digital-reboot/
Not much newer info than this



Some more classic dark future - I cant't recommend the Jack Yeovil/Kim Newan Books enough

So i just finished a newsaper on medical marijuana for a client and got huge job specs done for a job application. So i could end up in either of two states based on this. So I want to get on with some stuff on the back burner and projects. I have a long list of blogs to do but now I have a bunch of series to finish.

Xor stuff a few more posts, some adventures and then i will make a darft compilation

Hell has a lots more bits to go. I'm through the core kingdoms, probably will do a shadow hell, nightmare hell, sea hell, cold hell, iron hell, dungeon hell, whatever. Will solve my high level adventures for a few years.

Got set up to work on my old school monster manual re write, have more to make and ref books loaded

I'm glad i started my mutations stuff of - done fleshy ones and necro mutants will do more like amphibian mutations, elemental mutations, mental mutations, plant and fungal mutations

I have few roadwar things to do too

Hope to do d100 Blasphemous books from the black library soon

Petty Wands

Lesser Petty Wand d10 Charges 200gp
Non rechargeable equivilent of zero level cantrip spell power

Greater Petty Wand d100 Charges 2000gp
Recharged by casting spell and performing ritual skill and 10gp per charge
Many of the greater ones have a condition that the user is a apprentice of a certain wizard or the right alignment or race

These items are handy for low level beginners or amusement. Cheap ones affordable for low level wizard. A high level wizard wouldn't be seen dead with one of these at the wizard club but if they were at home on wash day they might. Some are good for punishing apprentices. Bards quite like these. Druids and priests have own versions.

These petty wands are basically usable as a Arcane cantrip list also

d100 Blasphemous Books of the Black Library

Near Shadelport are several unlawful schools for illegal wizards. Some are lone renegade masters, Devil Hill has several levels in a great dungeon. But the black school moves or at least the door does. Students sell heir souls and perform vile acts to pay for tuition. Demonic lecturers are unseen. Horrid hands reach from secret panels and give students assignments and books to read. These wizards move into dungeons or start their own towers in the wilderness. At night the students are in absolute darkness and demons grope and beat them or whisper special assignments.

Many books from the forbidden library go missing and many find their way to occult booksellers and dungeon treasures. They are risky but wizards know the risk may be worth it. Some students change class to evil priest at the bidding for their unseen demon tutors.

Next time your game needs more goats your GoatMaster can use these tables. You've probably been worrying about the lack of goats in your games but now with games like GoatQuest, Goats and Grottoes, Dungeon Goat and other new games you can now relax. Possibly need to do goats as a BX character class or use this to create goats for a one of con game. A goat lore skill will help you unravel local goat secrets.

Dont forget Nanny Binx in petty gods tome but here is my early draft
http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/petty-gods-stuff-nanny-binx-and-behni.html

She is in this book which you must get
http://www.rpgnow.com/product/149434/Petty-Gods-Revised--Expanded-Edition
I hope we get more osr books like this or has everyone gone pro now?

Nanny Binx wanders the multiverse leaving intelligent magic goats behind. Possibly she made other animals intelligent too and organised them into a anti chaos earth cult. Her descendants are not as powerful but still carry on her good work. She has tried to influence goat men and were goats into worshiping nature but this project is more difficult. Possibly her atheism gets in the way but earth goddesses appreciate the mana she has earned them which helps keep chaos at bay.

Goatmen, satyrs, goat centaurs and goat spirits have good versions. Good spirits can purify food and water instead and protect good farmers who are kind to goats. Farmers who like them make corn goats from bundles of wheat. Mutants might be unhappy with lot  and not so evil but physically tainted and shunned by good goats and gods. Good cults dont let mutants enter holy ground.

Fire Goats are but one element, air goats can walk on air and carry witches to sabbats, earth goats can burrow at 3" and steal food stores, water goats can swim freely in water and can turn rear ends into fish tails, they like to drown kids. Elementals can be various alignments but the nicer ones mostly stay home and dont bother people. Good or neutral ones could be commanded to do evil. Colour hue best way to tell apart as evil ones darker or tainted by shadows. Greater elemental goats have more HD and can create elemental walls and fire elemental bolts. Quazi elements like ice, lightening, crystal, lava and fog might have goats too. All elemental goats explode on death and their effects don't harm their own kind. Elementals resist the element of their own type and dislike other elements.

Non magic satyrs are fauns, they are a bit nicer than satyrs and less likely to rape you. Fauns might just take you home for tea and want to play checkers or go on about their families. As fauns don't have powers they rely on being chatty even evil ones. Wicked fauns are sadists.

d12 Why Are There Chaos Goats About?
1 A bubbling pool of raw chaos has tainted area and a poor goat has been touched
2 A wizard, witch or warlock has been corrupting area and making monsters
3 An alchemical toxic spill has caused corruption, mostly from illegal dumping of waste
4 A demon has been corrupting goats as part of evil plan possibly rode to earth on demon goat
5 A gateway to chaos is corrupting area and releasing abominations
6 A breed of chaos mushrooms has been left out by dark elves
7 A cave with a chaos grotto has become accessible after been hidden for aeons
8 A cult have been releasing evil forces and leaving tainted food out for goats
9 A chaos magician passed through and left monsters in his wake
10 A chaos god passed through area and left a taint or made some monsters
11 Mighty Goats battled here long ago in primordial times and occasionally a remnant is exposed
12 A foolish goat or dissatisfied cultist tried to obtain more power and instead was tainted

Of course they could have just moved from somewhere else

d12 What Signs of the Anti-Goat Might Be Clues...
1 Occult signs gnawed into meadows or tree bark
2 Horribly mauled and disemboweled corpses covered in hoof prints
3 Bloody hoof prints around houses and stables
4 Trails of toxic toadstools everywhere
5 Stinking piss trails where goats marking territory or being jerks
6 Sticks aranged in witch signs in meadows and near houses

9 Large rocks moves at night into annoying places
10 Horribly brimstone scented tar like chaos goat poop everywhere
11 Goat herder found frightened to death in field or bed
12 Young goats kidnapped to be corrupted!
d12 What dastardly Anti-Goat Schemes Are Afoot?
1 Polluting water supply
2 Tainting common folk with chaos, especialy the young, greedy and power hungry
3 Terrorizing common folk to drive away
4 Seeking a evil relic

Reading CoC 7th ed and Pulp Cthulhu

September 21, 2016, 5:05 am

I'm a bit miffy because my win10 laptop reloads tabs constantly and lost 75 evil farms i described lovingly on a 3 and a half hour bus ride commuting interstate for work. Not in writing mood since then. Have big job interview friday which might fix my life up and end my hellish travels and living arrangements. Playing last few rooms of ASE and 5th ed cthulhu fridays and going to run my Murder Highway game for two saturdays. Gonna work on some generic drivers and cars for drop ins and as examples.

Anyway here is what I have to say about Cthulhu 7th ed I have been reading loan copies. Despite what I say here I will definitely get the Pulp Cthulhu Book physically and possibly the keeper and then the investigator books. This review is more like bullet points so far.

More complex than previous editions but possibly more complete with many more character options and history. Extra stats to care for. I don't like the stats being x5 old rules - i rarely used idea and knowledge rolls or luck rolls in previous editions. Monsters now have unwieldy huge numbers. I can live with it but i keep feeling like im playing tsr d100 games. Slightly annoying i cant swap monsters from brp products as freely.

Mostly 1920s i think could have not bothered with modern sttuff and saved for another book - no attempt really at gaslight era. I will have to get last gaslight book as my box set and 90s book stolen and I hated the sherlock stuff (but i like rat things). Possibly a players book for each era would work.

So many differences it is another game. Not really BRP anymore. Feels like a liability to have played old game to learn this one. Im sure many mistakes will be made by old players and awkward moments will happen.

Very complex and over written for new players or gamers. Over the top in places but some good suggestions and explanations. Biggest complaint I get from non chaosium HPL gamers is that it is too complex. I should have seen that bit on avoiding playing racism and sexism too historically before my current anti catholic character. Some concessions to modern trends in mechanics and design.

Great art and layout. I dislike the full colour cofee table RPG book style but this is one of the best ever. Overdesign has not harmed readability and more games could be like this. Great artwork and photos. lots of content in keeper and player book repeated. Without repeats and adventures could have been one book. Thank god they dumped the moth eaten buggy pages that made readability suffer. Solo adventure would have been nice they should do more and re release old ones. I remember old scenarios only a few pages - modern ones seem wordy, too complex, too many monsters. Marketing wise the new ed feels like 5th ed dnd a bit or aiming at the larger gaming audience. The art alone is very tempting. Im more impressed than I was by the the monster field guide.

More stats to record - spendable luck points I think it makes me feel less helpless. Which spells utter failure for horror setting. Every new edition has made easier to survive and this ed feels more pulpy. Adds complexity i would happily not have even though the mechanics are ok. I liked optional magic points rules in brp that did a lot of what luck does in this game and would have been simpler to implement. Having more uses for magic points would have been good. I get the feeling this mechanic a bit of a story gamer touch to make players feel in control more which I think makes less scary.

The pushing skill idea that you can re-roll some non combat skills for a second try but risk disastrous failure if you don't make it is really good new mechanic. I don't really get or like the bonus dice and new skill opposition system. I might get it later though. Seems a concession to modern games. I still like the old resolution table.

Ads nothing really new to mythos - stuff in old eds like hpl npc stats gone. I do like the spell section and ideas on spell failure and variations. A few good things in the mythos book sections. Changed the classes of entities so no more lesser independant races.

Lots of good spot rule ideas I might use in my other BRP games and older Cthulhu games.
Healing different and ok.

Credit rating is greatly improved and more obvious feature of game.
All unarmed damage 1d3 no martial arts. Actually I like this. I did use a gangbusters/top secret SI based non lethal damage system in my game that made fist fights less deadly. This might be simpler. No more muscle bound martial artist guys doing 3d6 kicks to poor mythos monsters.

Tommy guns 5 times too expensive and harder to get than reality contradicting the text and history books. Listed price is $1000 black market. Funnily Pulp Cthulhu has the 1921 price, more like $200 in 1921 and $228 by end of decade. Ridiculous conceit about Tommy guns after text states purchasable from sporting good stores not through black market as stated in gun stat block. Better ways to control over kill weapons. Brits returned thousands of drum mags to USA for being too noisy and rattling which is a great indicator big drums have problems and suggesting a way to make them liabilities.

Taping two 20 round box mags together deemed more reliable for quick change, later on versions with mags welded together used by military. I had player turn up with a 1920s ad for surplus BAR at low prices. It is kind of ridiculous to make these weapons too hard to get. Tips for dealing with this would be better than crazy prices. Ive seen images and films with Lewis guns used by explorers so getting military surplus stuff in some places more permissible.

Explosive damages all raised to TPK strength and more useful for monster destroying.

Actually with the cthulhu pulp book all this works better somehow. Id rather play the new ed as a pulp cthulhu campaign. This book makes the new edition shine. Much better than the BRP pulp book but that might work better with this book too.

I will still play older version probably 1st ed. Despite all these grumblings I am more likely to play 7th ed now than I was when I heard of it and when I first looked at the books. Possibly all goes back to getting home from con with 6th ed leather bound to hear news that 7th was in the works. Hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Laundry might be something i get more and will snap up all the cthulhu now stuff i can while on shelves. Good ideas from 7th ed will filter into my brp home rules.
Still hoping Chaosium and Moorcock beef will be resolved.

d100 Evil Frontier Farms

In the frontier there are many single family farmsteads. Many are alone for years, desperate, poor and afraid Many of the supernatural beings that lurk in the wilds are evil. Many become tempted by evil for survival and fall to temptations of chaos. Some of the entities of evil are mostly vindictive to civilized invaders and might leave local tribes alone. Some of the generational settler families are corrupted or tolerated but in fact are weaponized against newcomers. Backward frontier folk are often backwards in many basics like technology, good manners, who they should marry, what they should eat. Their cults are often non orthodox and backwards, even archaic. Occasionally a city priest comes through and if he doesnt get eaten or sacrificed will get a display of lip service to the faith of civilized people. You would think being so backward and odd they might be tolerant but no. Many city folk or foreigners strange ways or might enrage them. On the other hand if they like you they will find someone you should marry and they will eat your friends if they disagree. Many clans have a prisoner who has been surprise adopted. Some want to escape, many have been brainwashed and stay or worse, as visitors for help then change their mind and betray then to the clan.

Strange Omens and Portents

When destiny draws near or fates turn sour, signs of warning appear. Some are warnings to stay away others are invitations for heroes to face your doom. One god will send a warning while others want heroes to face their doom.

I wanted these results to be reversible for good or evil omens. Some tips to make omens good or evil included in quick types version.

Spells or prophecy might warn you with signs to look for.

You could add several together.

Omens mostly warn you  are displeasing a god or straying from a prescribed mission. Also might be warning signs of a curse or prelude to supernatural encounter or receiving a new quest.

You might receive a warning of the sign and what it represents so when you see it you expect trouble or a clue for your quest.

You might receive as a warning or invitation at a obstacle, river crossing or cross roads.

You might get a omen after an adventure as a enemy god scowls at you or good god salutes your actions.

An omen might warn of a petty god or demon or deity manifeting

d12 Sources of prophetic warning
1 Written divination in book or scroll or monument in stone
2 Hear a poem or song possibly from bard or other source
3 Crazy old person yells at you
4 Local tells you old story
5 Temple prophet or diviner sends you message (donations welcome)
6 Cultist or evil priest curse you with bad fate
7 Humanoid boss or shaman mutters curse as dies before you
8 Witch curses you
9 Former surviving enemy has you cursed and sends you message
10 Professional curse maker sends you copy of tablet
11 Supernatural messenger or spirit tells you in a dream
12 Supernatural creature warns you

Omen
3rd level Cleric Spell
Curses or blesses a person to judgement from the clerics god and give them a warning. If target fails a spell WIS save.  They can also cast it on self another person to warn them of gods displeasure. If cast on self . Remove curse removes all effects.

4th Level version can be cast with conditions to activate a omen
5th Level version can be used as form of prophecy by asking a question and receive omens good and bad (hotter/colder) when you seek a quest, nudging you accordingly at the hand of god. One omen nudge per level per quest or lasts a day a level.

d10 Quick Types
01 Weather Signs - horrible or nice weather like storm or rainbow
02 Earth Signs -  fair or foul like quake or blooming flowers
03 Bird Signs - benevolent or evil birds like vulture or dove

Since the plague many small cities abandoned and sections of large cities abandoned. This is some handy table Im doing to create modern urban ruins on the fly and I will do some others too. I would probably generate as blocks or quarter blocks. A small rural city might only have a few dozen important sites. Bigger ones will have hundreds or thousands.

Rural pitt stops on the road was a early attempt

I have some days off so getting to chill and possibly game extra and write.

Rural pitt stops on the road was a early attempt, i have recycledd some data. These tables good for small comunities and has comunity defence tables worth using. These setlements are common on trade routes and welcome travellers. I might convert these into d100 instead one day. Previous post to this one has some useful links too.

http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/d100-complete-murder-highway-pit-stops.html

Wasteland compounds are settlements off trade routes, mostly completley rebuilt from trash partly using ruins. Most compounds have a wall. Technology is lower. They are not just used by desperate farmers and neo primatives but popular with gangs, cultists, tribals, ferals and others who prefer to live in the forgotten wastes. They make good settings for missions like mad max 2 rescue the village from bandits. They can also be targets for attacks or subterfuge or headquarters of enemies. Corps might use them as covers for black labs.

d10 Walls (can have mixed types)
01 Trash heaped into wall with wire and logs
02 Mesh baskets full of rocks stacked
03 Log stockade with corigated metal sheets
04 Dry stone wall heaped loose stone and earthworks
05 Wire fence with concrete anti vehicle bollards
06 Recycled brick wall, reinforced in defencive areas
07 Stone bricks with mortar
08 Ruined brick walls reinforced with trash
09 Trash with vehicles like air craft, train, trucks or stacked car wrecks
10 Reinforced concrete covering garbage and mesh wire and steel beams

d10 Wall defences
01 Watch towers - high towers for observation, snipers and weapons
02 Spikes and barbed wire - making climbing hazardous
03 Pit or moat - pit around walls with spikes, septic water or flamable liquid
04 Mine feild - trigered by foot, car or remote detonated explosives
05 Crude tank or car traps - concrete spikes or bollards and pits
06 Chemical weapons - use gas, smoke and irritants, defenders have masks
07 Flamer weapons - using gas or refined fuel and incendiaries
08 Balistia and catapault weapons - often using truck springs 
09 Machine Guns - ammo often limited and low or mid cal but effective
10 Light Artillery - mostly light anti vehichle weapons

This is loot from a space faring culture but not too alien. More like 2300 or low Traveller, Star Frontiers, pre artificial gravity probably. It could be for a wreck to look in space or planet fall. Could even be on a space port. I might try a weirder alien one in the future.

Consider condition of objects - could be useless or damaged or scared or scrap.

In Shadelport kobolds are popular slaves, useful for hundreds of reasons. From expendable potion testers to door openers, kobolds are working hard. Do remember while cruelty to kobolds in public is not shunned like horse beating, treating them badly in kobold territory could be a problem. As kobolds treat each other often badly treating them a bit better is easy.

Kobolds are easy to store and ship. They tolerate conditions other races would die in. A well cared for kobold lives twice as long as a wild one.

Some religious leaders and a troublesome women's movement claim they have souls and can be almost civilized even deserving the same rights as goblins and orcs. Most people would look twice at a owner beating a kobold to death in the street. Kobolds work with phosphorous in match factories, mines, dye factories and other dangerous jobs. Many humans in the ghettos complain about kobold slaves and would also like to see them emancipated (and cooked in soup). Even urchins and mutants in the ghetto complain. Orcs and goblins dont care about how humans treat kobolds. Orcs rarely acknowledge they are visible. Goblins are happy humans don't treat them like kobolds even if only slightly better.

A few wizards with carpet bags of holding gave up using spells and just used kobolds.
