The Apocalypse is coming....
Twenty years ago a age of invasions, migrations, plague, famine and war ended. A decade of dark skies, bad crops and volcanic fumes ended. Since then everything has been green an people are happy. Conflict has ended as resources are common. You can still find ruined villages, tools and all kinds of goods in the woods. Most young have never known hunger, but the old are scarred, bitter and wary from past trauma.

Kings have started rebuilding borders. sending out tax collectors and establishing households of knights in every inhabited area. So far there is mostly peace.

But cultists, witches and monsters lurk in the woods and are working in secret to corrupt certain places. Ruins are thick in places, undead haunt old battlefeilds, shattered castles and ruined villages. Haunted abandoned houses are common near every village.

Players start as young eager adventurers who have lived in a time of peace. As economy grows people crave more than just sustenance and markets are growing. Adventurers get to deal with local mysteries, petty creatures and old wells and caves before discovering a conspiracy.

There is only a good market in each capitol. Most goods are made by request and not in stock. The capitols have more conspiracies. Cultists seek to corrupt local leaders and communities. While action of setting seems local actually a cosmic struggle is brewing. Demons are being called and re inhabiting underworld fortresses. The seek to open elder gates and release more monsters. Imps and gremlins are becoming more common. Terrible war machines of old gods are being found and restored by cults. Cultists are increasing and becoming more blatant. The apocalypse is being called and draws near. the universe will be drowned in cosmic creatures from beyond then turn inside out and be rendered into raw chaos. The gods are weak, recovering from wounds and battles decades ago. Nanny Binx the wonder goat is doing her bit to revive earth cults to help the world resist. A few other beings are trying to help but the faiths of good and law have declined since peace broke out.

Eventually heroes battle demons, and enter gates to seal them. The more gates and plane shifting and chaos taints the worse world gets. Demons might even provide adventurers with magic items that really make the world worse.

The point of this setting is to start looking petty and local with very little civilization. At first they get to know area and locals outside their village. The capitols wont hold much interest and nobility wont accept party as they are low born. Non humans are rare but increase as apocalypse draws near.

The Village
Is shit. Has communal sheds for produce and animals and a ale house run by millar, blacksmith and a 1st Lv Cleric in a shack who uses a barn for service and has a few religious nick nacks to sell tourists who come to see sacred rock of St Branagh. Population under 50 scattered over a fair area.

d10 Phase 1 Adventures (0-2 level challenges)
1 Giant rats in the orchard and in the barn and in the cellar - kill them all
2 What happened to Mrs Muggles pussy? - did it fall down the well?
3 Shepard's Hole where farming lads rest from the sun has never been explored
4 A goblin has stolen a pie and ran into the woods - follow his trail
5 A shifty man has been planting strange urns around the village - cultist marking area to attract evil
6 A fancy youth came seducing folk and ran away with stolen goods - doppelganger?
7 A old barn has Stirge Owls and people are upset they will breed - did someone plant them?
8 A creepy old house has a spirit - defeat several undead and meet a spectral adviser
9 Someone stole the holy rock and shitted on church altar - priest offers a reward
10 A goatman has been seen eyeing off the village sheep and has everyone scared

1d10 Phase 2 Adventure (3-6 level challenges)
1 Sheep all stolen by a band of goat men who wish to mate with them or eat them or sacrifice them
2 Woodland goblins up to mischief and stealing metal tools, live in a woodland village
3 Well has been inhabited by something! d4 1=water weird 2=giant snake 3=giant toad 4=fish man
4 Charlatan visits, tries to get rid of party on goose chase with fake maps so he can work evil
5 A villager has been charmed by a cultist and is tainting graveyard with chaos potions
6 Currupt officials from king come demanding things, cultists use to spread discord and resentment
7 Someone horribly murdered in home - ritual or random monster hard to tell
8 Sherrif has been kidnapped and his beadles want help getting him back from who has him
9 Bandits in area attacking tinkerers, traders and clergy and villagers have had enough
10 Smoke has been seen from the old tower where wizards made orcs in the war

1d10 Phase 3 Adventures (7+ level challenges)
1 A Knight comes to visit and wants some youths to help find a monster seen in area
2 A regular coven site of worship has by identified by locals, cult will prepare a trap
3 A great dungeon door has been uncovered in hill, inside evil tries to restore a great chaos engine
4 A cave has been found by farmers - beast men, orcs and goblinoids serve a planar visitor inside
5 A bubbling pool of chaos guarded by monsters is tainting the area with mutants
6 Elves, dwarves and other old races seen openly and willing to talk about problems in area
7 Stairs in ground with magical chaos maze of magic traps, treasure and trauma
8 The graveyard erupts one night in zombies of dead townsfolk of last 40 years
9 A monster randomly attacks the village randomly to eat people and then wanders off to start a lair
10 A famous cultist hero comes to area to destroy it with occult powers

This is all based on a friends game. No matter how great and cosmos shatteringly weird we got, everything stayed local and mostly in villages. Many actions degraded the universe. Evil tries to trick party and frame innocents or left them tainted artifacts and spells which did cool stuff butt added to the mass of chaos in the universe each use. Players learned strange cosmic secrets which made them seize artifacts from demiplanes but in fact chaos wanted the party to open more gates and bring in more artifacts to weaken the world. All this cosmic stuff over about 6 villagers. Players might have to be creative to get fancy equitment or salvage goods from abandoned places. Military grade items not for sale outside a capitol many days away!

Chaos nearly one and burnt out much of the magic in the world and the gods have slept since. The more dungeons and demi planes are opened the more chaos wins. Getting that cool weapon or destroying that magic relic often only had short term benefits.

By phase 2 non human races turn up and are allowed as characters. They often bring clues of some of the wonders hidden in the area. They also bring new enemies and problems and are competative as to what race survives the apocalypse.

By phaze three some villages will be gone,many NPCs dead or tainted or undead, ancient horrors walking. Chaos gates bringing in demons and pools spawning creatures more common. Lead cultists seek to spoonfeed heroes to open more gates and release more creatures using spies, planted evidence and fake documents. Eventully the universe starts bursting at seams and gods start dying.

Eventually it involves attackin devils and demons and elemental lords on their own plane.

So the captain has discovered how not to let a crewman die every week and can sail further than ever before. So he finds islands of tattooed humanoids and seeks to trade with them and possibly establish a outpost. Adventures are explorers and junior officers. Players should be able to influence outcomes but struggle against the crew and officers to do the right thing.

Haradari
This orc island is having a holy festival when visited and the orcs seem friendly. They are forbidden to fight in this season of the fertility goddess and greet strangers with feasts. If the explorers return they will be killed and skinned.

Arlunly
This land of orc tribes subjugate goblins and will trade a goblin for anything made of metal even some nails. The natives seem friendly and willing to trade so the captain wants to build a outpost and leave some crew here for a year when he will return with ships to build a penal colony. Once the ships leave natives are unimpressed by strangers overstaying welcome. Explorers need to make natives respect them and earn a place or they will be eaten.

Eventually colony arrives and those who remained will be allotted land and convict slaves. Now the natives are really unimpressed at humans. Plague devastates the natives before they can raise a army and exterminate the alien humans.

Nardju
These islands are ruled by bugbears and are dangerous but willing to trade land. Colonists or outposts can be negotiated but some tribes wont recognise any deal and will eat any humans left behind. Bugbears ate other goblinoids years ago and welcome human settlers.

Atilav
These islands are occupied by brutal pierced orcs who bloodily sacrifice non orcs to their demon gods on pyramid mounds. Dominated goblins can be convinced to unite against orcs and the orcs do have lots of gold. Officers suggest a small force are left to deal with the orcs, take their gold and turn island into a plantation colony.

Melan
This island is occupied by tropical flower elf tribe who are very friendly and amorous. Your filthy rat infested crew rapidly degrade island, introducing disease, weapons, murder, jealousy, gambling, drinking, etc. This idyllic paradise was fine for thousands of years till you guys turned up. Might meet slaves from here years later.

Zamma
A foreign power has almost finished building a gold storehouse and fort by working native hobgoblins to death. The power has brought in orc slaves but but about a fifth of slaves native hobgoblins. You should probably attack or rival powers will gain influence. You might have to clean up the mess here.

Auraurabora
Wizards have been testing magic here for aeons

Ulenga
War like hobgoblin islanders suspicious and hateful of outsiders. File their teeth and do best to look savage and horrible

Torrama
Warrior tribes of orcs vs goblinoids, battling to exterminate each other. Keen to use strange visitors to help them win. Treason and theft is a virtue here.

Zantavia
Shipwreck stranded colonists but one took control and turned population cannibal. Now the personality cult leader will try to hijack any ships while some colonists will try and warn visitors.

Oordra
Inside the volcano fragile crystal lattices containing the last knowledge of aeons old catfish folk. Any sailors from ship will want to smash them for salable trinkets.

Usually this is a military secret and recipies not commonly for sale.

Witchfire
Supernatural fire that will keep burning and harms any magical being. Ingrediants include many exotic herbs gathered in a swamp. It is yellow and smells of swamp. Witches make pellets of magical fues for fires or attatch to a stick to make a torch. Such a torch can harm magic creatures or spirits. Fire burns a long time but does not spread or start fires at all without special fuel.

Ghost hunters employ these.

Ghostfire

So i wanted to test two new core mechanics for my current rewrite of EMO DnD. Also my last week working in Sydney for the year. Will be in Canberra for a few weeks then Adelaide to plan for my Dads life expectancy of 2 years. I could live anywhere over next few years. So for this week I have 2 games of this new DnD, a last session of Planet Psychon (im thinking a Gamma world death machine-Tiamat hybrid) plus a session of road wars.

Ive been teaching pre teen delinquants DnD too. A story gamer said dnd to complex and I should run some game where ppl without imagination are penalized. I have found kids allready know all the tropes of DnD fine from computer games.

Im struggling to get into gaming in Canberra but will try again. Three possible clubs. One club uses Yahoo which seems kinda lame. Sydney clubs all FB saavy and very chatty. After this weeks 4 games I have no idea when i will play again. Still need to get a buddy to show me roll20 online gaming.

So with the New Adventures in Shadelport Im using my new alignment system and new save/stat/skill resolution system (all discussed recently). Will mod my character sheets soon.

The alignment system with alignment scores and possibility of being tainted was received well but my players chose to be awful characters and reveled in the temptations of evil in my setting. The stat resolution system worked fine but putting on the sheet will help.

Anyway here is what happened...
I dont prep i just write d100 tables and tonight i used alot

New Adventures in Shadelport
So the adventurers consisting of a teenager giant and goblin were fed up with boss monsters keeping their loot so decided to visit Shadelport where monsters can live their dreams. Young giants of the mountains dump their young who can pass as humans for a while near humans to look after them. The goblin lass had trained as a thief but dreamed of being a wizard but the dungeons evil wizard kept her making fake treasure maps to lure in adventurers, a dead end job.

The goblin ruled dungeon had two sub levels, a sealed crypt and a cavern. But like all dead end dungeons the goblin chief nicked anything good found by minions. The tribe dealt with bandits and the local villagers were well prepared wit a stockade and guard goats. So they had met humans and were interested in Shadelport where men and monsters mingled.

So the pair with meager possessions shimmied down the mountain through ghost wood. The goblin girl had leeks, pickled centipedes in her sack and her bow. The young giant had a small tree he used as a maul, a mallet, a chisel, a chain and a sack of dung he used for first aid and fuel. Each had a pet wolf. The Ghostwood had a bad rep but was faster than the direct mountain route with rival dungeon tribes.

Early into the woods of ill repute they heard sounds. A gang of enemy bone goblins were dancing after a all night party. A goatman was sleeping and a drunk chaos faun was playing his pipes badly from exhaustion. So our heroes set upon them, killing them rapidly. The giant dragged the goat into the fire to cook and enjoyed the burned and raw meal. The goblin snacked on some left over rabbit and collected the merry revelers paltry loot. She was always curious about the albino bone goblins who never mixed with other tribes. One goblin they saved and put him in a sack. The giant spotted a huge black squirrel dragging away a skull from the camp. The goblin shot it and they found a gem in the skull. Actually it seemed to grow from the skull. They also got some coins of the lost kingdom the Ghost wood smothered mysteriously long ago.

So they marched on after a feast and a nap with sacks of meat when a pair of evil monobrowed halflings surprised them and demanded everything. The giant whistled the wolves from their perimeter patrol and the halflings shifted demands to food. Eventually the fight broke out. The older halfling was torn apart by wolves and the younger was tossed in a sack. The goblin took his smart outfit.

They entered the peaceful grassy lowlands where humans ruled. They found the highway and headed to the city. A nomad horse archer tried to harass them from long range but the goblin shot better and scared him off. Within site of the city they saw a wagon and caught u to talk with the friendly child catcher. He had 4 children he planned to sell in the city and welcomed friendly people to travel with. The giant found humans couldn't tell him from their own kind but orcs and goblins were not fooled. After a while they found a village festival where the giant came third in a strongest lad contest by lifting rocks, throwing a log and running up a hill carrying a old woman. He won a silver coin. The team ate some country food and with their new friend the child catcher went to the city.

He helped them get in faster by claiming they were his employees and showed them about redlight district and slave markets and sold their goblin and jeweled skull to a wizard. Halflings were high value slaves. The Giant and Goblin were loaded at last. They enjoyed street food, dodgy offers of vice and found a sly cannibal meat seller who invited the giant to his sewer cannibal shrine. In the in they dined on a bucket of oysters, cabbage and a steamed monkey. Rats on sticks. Mystery monster mince. Human flesh. The pair were in heaven.

Managed to sell of weapons and were very happy. Managed to get a job as a wizard body guard. He was kicked out of uni before graduating and had a third rate magic shop. He owed a drug dealing gang and offered the pair to live n his basement and teach the goblin magic.

After a week of fine dining they visited the bridges, the slums and the goblin ghetto. It was awesome. The bought some baby tako octopus faeries in a bucket from a orc. The giant ate one but the goblin kept two as pets. Giant got tattoos and his teeth filed by a orc doc. Goblin got a shrieker in a pot for the house. Most of the food in the area was more to their pleasing. Back in the merchant district the goblin got a taste for expensive candy by the box.

One night the giant heard a noise and peeked through the trapdoor in the kitchen floor. A sooty urchin had climbed through the chimney and was letting the wizards enemies through the kitchen door. Our heroes killed them except the child. The wizard charmed the boy and they interrogated him. A few days later the wizard and the heroes murdered the whole purple sash gang freeing the cowardly drug abusing wizard. They sold the charmed boy and looted the gang underground headquarters.

The wizard enjoyed the adventure so much he is interested in taking the guys to the cities elder ruins for more adventure. A few months of relaxing and gourmet dining the pair leveled up. Finally the goblin got a spell book of her own and a pet ferret. The giant got a big cold iron spike in his club and shot up a foot in height.

It was a fun game but moral corruption was hardly a problem for this pair. Otherwise new mechanics all worked well.

Players spending way too much time eating and shopping which surprised me

So a quick Psychon game with 10th level characters who spent over six months playing ASE
(anomalous subsurface environment) then barrier peaks. A year had passed.

Beebeard the druid had now become a plant man and turned his crappy adopted village into a huge complex of earthworks and walls where corn men - vegepygmie hybrids served him. Happily married to his cyber druid wife and due to lack of rivals was self declared archdruid of region.

The blood wizard had spent time helping Dethenix build stone and iron towers with cannons and made a huge sprawling maze full of goblins and monsters as city defense. One of cities leading wizards with own school and on board of university.

Ultra baby still working with spy and psion guilds and had recruited many nurse maids as solid food was too hard to eat with her superior evolution. Had improved her psionic powers and learned arcane arts of focusing power through her magic dagger.

The Morlock was busy leading millitary and running slavers guild.

Over the year vegepygmie tribes who hated beebeard had expanded and battled the Barbarians of the worthless north. It had made barbarians friendlier to Dethenix. Froghemoths and high tech mind flayers with umber hulks had also spread from the barrier peaks wreck site. Philosophers debated if alien, long lost human colonists or if the gods created whole thing from nothing just to flood area in new monsters. One big problem was the band had sealed a dragon enchanted nuke inside a mountain abd somehow the black dragons had stolen it back and taken it to a temple in the Livid fens. Lizard men had grown bold worshiping dragons and had chased out motkar from area.

Beebeard, the blood wizard and ultra baby built a fort on the edge of the fens and prepared to investigate on a huge raft pushed by corn men with poles. the found the wreck of the Anubis a gambling showboat of the past and Ultrababy got greedy looting poker chips and got giant tick bites. Battled 36 lizard men and interogated the leader. Blood wizard used gore and corpses to make extra monsters to guard her. Eventually they found the dragons temple. A concrete pyramid built as part of a ancient missile defence system. As they approached found the hole in peak was covered by magical darkness. A dozen lizard men came out and was obviously a trap as they could hear drums and dragons chanting. The three survivors of the silo on Mt Rendon the party had failed to kill on the great dragon hunt. Beebeard used magic to open a wall and inside three dragons performed a dread dragon rite with the magic nuke and a ancient warbot. They merged and became Mecha-Tiamat, avatar of the goddess.

666HP AC 20
Three black dragon heads 120, 90 and 60 HP
Two mecha heads 100 HP - spits missiles, death rays, sonic blasts, lightning arcs or death rays

So Mecha Tiamat had done all this to kill the party. Sh blasted way from pyramid and flew about it after killing a blood xenomoph horror beast. Beebeard cast a death ward on himself and had his faerie familiar hiding with healing potions and called a storm. The blood wizard fired volleys of lightning and Mecha Tiamat lost smallest head and a mecha head. The party followers fled on raft and Beebeard and ultra baby and the Blood wizard were blasted but survived. Ultra baby fired his needler shotgun and fled. Beebeard was almost killed but the ward meant he would not die. The faerie was able to revive him again and again so he could direct lightning bolts from the sky. The Bloodwizard was invisible and flew about. Managed to resist several hits with all her defensive magic. This went on for ten minutes before finally Mech-Tiamat was wrenched into three parts, the mecha bit exploded in a mushroom cloud. There was a awesome pile of coins and loot and relics inside.

Probably the grossest monster I have run in years.

Also played dnd with some kids at work for three hours which was good. Boss was impressed I had two specific kids engrossed. Then I had to write report on how this met the educational outcomes according to the national framework. Big fun.

Several players outside my game not mixing together anymore so my heyday of gaming crew in Sydney is over. Will be looking to study and work in Canberra a while and possibly will end up back in Adelaide as Dad's health in decline.

Murder Hobo:

Kill, loot, drink, repeat

After discussion about how horrible your murder hobo must be in this age of murder hobo eat murder hobo i have decided to make the ultimate murder hobo setting in my current campaign. So will have Blood Sand Beach township described next post here.

It is a new age of dungeon exploration and exploitation.
Kill the monsters and leave nothing of value.

Past Murder Hobology Posts

Murder Hobo Shanty Town Events
Murder Hobo Shanty Town Problems revised
Murder Hobo Shanty Town Seasonal Visitors

Murder Hobos only prejudice if how much more one corpse can make profit over another. A prisoner might make a salable slave if you can be bothered. A corpse can make bait, or a terrifying leather outfit or artwork or scary deterrent. Teeth can make jewelry or even dentures and bones can be ground and used as fertilizer like what happened to the millions of Napoleanic war dead.

Murder Hobos are not just a big naughty and greedy. They will kill and enslave everything living then sell the corpses and collect every valuable shred of loot. Even the not very valuable doors, old bones, tables, chars, shreds of cloth will go to waste. Modern Murder Hobos with bring workers to glean every scrap. Some with bring rending vats and turn corpse fat into tallow and sell as devotional candles or use as fuel to burn down a goblin fort (ancient Chinese did this last one to thousands of people at a time). A rotten corpse thrown in a well can cause all kinds of problems for the locals. A murder hobo doesn't need a mission or a cause or a story. They just need to know there are creatures they can rob and muder for profit and preferably not be called wanted criminals in civilization. While Murder Hobos might even thrive in a prison the life style could limit their money making.

Once a Murder Hobo has sated their basic lusts and desires and have some left over money then it is time to invest. A private prison is a good investment because you can use it for storing ransoming captives, receiving bribes and running other vice operations like drugs and prostitutes. Plus inmates can be turned into sweatshop workers and can help strip dungeons and glean every fibre of hair, every tooth and every brick.

Slumb lords are a common advanced career. An easy way to start is make a list of every haunted house, squatters shack and unwanted demon murder house and buy them at low low prices. Then clear them out and rent them or sell them to new more profitable tenants. A tavern is good buy. Possibly invest in a trade boat so you use it to loot and enslave backward islands far from the law or smuggle drugs or set up a slave plantation.

Also remember cannibalism is only with your own species. It's totally ok to spit roast a kobold. I do recommend if your party isn't made up of evil degenerates to not start eating dead party members an hour inside the dungeon. I find using the excuse "we might get trapped or lost and need food" needs a bit more time and desperation to be effective than one hour in the dungeon.

Sometimes you might get a mission but the only details to worry about is where the loot is. I recommend when rescuing a princess not to eat her until dad hands over the loot. A charmed doppelganger or illusionary disguised orc works just as well as a real princess but best to run away to your gruberhole (robbers cave) quickly with those old tricks.

Now to compete with the Empire's open cut dungeon mine military engineers, the Barron is having work crews use Bloodsand as a processing facility where murder hobos send dead monsters, bricks and dungeon junk for processing by the wagon load.

In the Barony murder hobos often start out as scavengers and gleaners looking for items not looted by a more advanced party. The next step is to go prospecting perhaps in the wilds looking for a new dungeon or join a shanty town near a megadungeon full of Murder Hobos, bandits, killers and scum. Finally with some experience elite murder hobos with a entourage of their own can take over their own dungeons and build their own tiny fortified camps with rending vats and prison cages on wagons.

In the Empire life is a bit less horrible and more wholesome. Most Murder Hobos start as penal dungeon scouts and are forced in by soldiers. While they explore and evaluate the dungeon the Royal Dungeoneering camp sets up a tiny fort and locates all the dungeon entries and air holes and seals them. Then they can pump in smoke and drive out monsters into archers or waggon mounted crossbows or gun arrays or spike filled pits. With a sufficient crew the Engineers will get workers ot open cut mine the dungeon. It can be risky but the Empire provides healing at least and job prospects.

When these murder hobos earn their legitimate freedom the Governor of the Empire colonies might grant them a licence or letter of marque to explore dungeons. Freelance Murder Hobos in the Empire can work fine but best off avoiding civilization. Escapee convict scouts who cross the border to the Barony will find the Empire will have sold them to the Barron by the time they reach a tavern. Respectable Murder Hobos in nice clothes who can fake good manners might get offered officers commissions in the Royal Dungeon Engineers. A great reward might be a gifted commision and territory but mostly you pay for the privelage. You might even have to outfit and train your own troops. The Empire demands first purchas rights of uncommon magic which is a drag. If they the party fake respectability in public they will go far. What happens in the dungeon stays in the dungeon.

With the Barony and the Empire both expanding and building settlements dungeons are useful as brick mines at least. Both sides want magic items. Both sides want Murder Hobos kept busy on the frontier and not too long in civilization.

Poleboy:
What is the secret of living a long life?

Murder Hobo:
Shut up and get in that hole boy!

Bloodsand beach in may game for 5 years has been avoided by players who never got within a hex of it. Party have considered but here are some reasons why.

It stinks from 2-4 hexes away worse than a city ten times its size
99% male population, women mostly short lived prostitutes or very old
Whaling, sealing, bone milling and rending fat are traditional industries
Most of population are criminals banished from notoriously horrid Shadelport

The town is on a stony bluff on a sandy beach. It is surrounded by a wooden wall mostly made from wrecked ships. The waters edge wall is covered in barnacles. The southern beach is often used to carve up whales of all types and sealions no longer come near this place. The beach stinks and is stained red and black. Druids hate it even the blood thirstiest ones. Out at sea friendly killer whales await to help the whalers hunt other whales. Many sea creatures brought here are actually chaos warped or evil hell whales or reptilian sea monsters that swarm about monster Island. From the sea there are several entries into wharf filled artificial bays. Several have wooden gates. The largest has a huge chain to block unwelcome entry.

Around the mainland side of the city are fields and cattle pens worked by slaves. Cattle are brought from villages and ship yards to be slaughtered then shipped to Shadelport. Under Blood Beach are caves with Ice Toads who keep everything frozen for shipping. In winter the toads are allowed on the streets after curfew to feed on stray kobolds. The fields grow wheat and oats for porridge and beer. Fishy muck and seaweed are processed by short lived slaves into fertilizer. Sometimes slaves end up used as fertilizer.

There is no sewer. The streets reek of feces and rot. Rats, seagulls, crabs, isopods and giant sea lice crawl the streets. Occasionally giant sea scorpions or trilobites crawl out of the water looking for meat. Fishmen heads are hung near gates as a warning to hybrids trying to enter the town. Most buildings are two stories and many are merged into the outer wall. Inner buildings tend to be sweatshops and work houses where workers are prisoners. There is a temple to the sea god in his cruelest aspect who shield the town from magical destruction by druidry or the reptilian magicians of monster island. The biggest building is the lord mayors four story stone lighthouse, the oldest building dating from the prehuman monster empire. These is a dungeon burrowed into the rock under the tower which is also where the Ice toads keep stored meat frozen. The lord mayor is a ogre, appointed by the Barron. Orcs militia keep the peace and plenty of secret police of the Barron help keep order. Kobolds are common workers and help pick clean the rancid oysters and critters crawling the wharfs. Some lizardmen and frogmen are prisoners here from monster Island. The frogmen tend to die of salt exposure but the lizard men survive better than most.

Nine tenths of the humans are prisoners, exiled from Shadelport. Being exiles from the fabled pirate city, the worst city in the world by many accounts means the people are pretty awful. Most are manacled some are trusted to duties where they get to walk within the town freely. Some humans are administrators employed by the Barony. They tend to be the most vile and corrupt, sent here as punishment. At most the city has 5000. A fifth are orcs, a third kobolds, one in twenty are froglings and lizard folk. Halflings are often visiting but mostly the evil ones with monobrows and pointy teeth. The rest are humans. As Exile Island has humans from across the world especially pirates and the great Empire on the south continent. Recently as Blood Beach is used as a base to raid the prehistoric monster Island many natives from that cursed place have been brought in as slaves but most die of plague before they learn to speak common.

Most humans are male. Women don't live long here. Some elderly ones are managers of sweatshops an healers. Mostly women under 50 are turned or away. Some women have entered in disguise. Some slave women from Monster Island are mistreated and die before they can be shipped out. This is contrary to the Barons Edicts who prefers they be sent to Shadelport as exotic slaves. There is a rumour the brothels uses girdles of femininity and potions when they run out of real women. Some say they polymorph kobolds. The brothers are kept quiet and are not approved as they waste the lives of the victims. They are profitable mostly for the foreign sea crews with lots of cash. The Barron's code insists women under fifty are held for protective custody then shipped out. Corrupt officials pay good money to make a few disapear.

Fighting pits are the most common entertainment but drugs, beer and other vices are common too.

In recent years the economy has diversified. Raiders to monster Island come here and bring slaves captured there and increasingly including lizard and frog men. Also workers process remains from dungeons stripped by murder hobos, cleaning up old bricks, furniture, wooden fittings like doors and then freighting them to Shadelport. Rubble is dumped along the sea wall and in mounds past the fields in hopes of making a hill for a fort or larger wall.

I will map all this out some time.
Will do d100 street encounters, hazzards and mysteries shortly

So I was cranking out stuff to keep up my hits up and I think I'm over it. G+ and blogger seem to be slowly being killed. Im considering building a website. Ive had lots of requests to do a compilation book again. Working on something polished would cut my blogging output to a trickle. I'm more into quantity than quality. No decisions needed at moment. After last road war game will knock out a compilation just to make life easier for me to run it. Im in Sydney now with my traveling pc, in Canberra with my design pc hopefully by monday. Usually in xmas holidays I work on compilations and play Temple of Elemental Evil PC game again.

Will be a few more tables and a map coming for this setting.

I've also decided to bite the bullet and make proper gods for this setting ive been running for years. Horrible obnoxious gods. Even the good ones.

I should do some more maritime tables too. Occurred to me some prison hulks in the harbour would fit in too.

Wow my ratings have hit rock bottom. Possibly this series wasn't my best idea. Coincidence? Or possibly I shouldn't think about it and get over it. Look at this baby lizard he is adorable.

So why the hell would anyone come to Blood Sand Beach. Even visiting demons think it is a dangerous shit hole? Here I present a table of business on the streets that might be worth putting on a fake beard and visiting. There are many strange things for sale here from around the world. Many vices common here are forbidden in the empire.

You might have noticed many monsters on the streets by night are female and vindictive like seahags, sirens and kelpies. Desperate men make easy prey. Many of these monsters were created by past suffering of woman kind here. Desperate male energies atract these entities also. Probably this town deserves to be haunted bu yhese monsters. Some women do visit, especially murder hobo women curious and defiant of the laws. Not many stay and the Orc guards are terrible at telling male and female humans apart anyway. Most of the orcs are made by the Barron's wizards and male anyway.

So here is another post apocalypse image dump. I had players say they would like to play as 70s tv cops then jump decades every adventure till they are cyborg freaks in my alternate time line. There is a lote of biker hysteria imagages in 60s mens sweat mags that fit in pretty well. I mean who doesn't like running over Nazis?

Also get this book now
http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/196994/Death-Race-Fury-Road

This beast would be a beast in my game. Not many cars would have enough armour to cope with this. APC,s would probably struggle against it. My setting has a wide range of power levels and room for improvement. I would tend to resist yhings like this being too common.

More biker fantasies. Im not sure who the bad guys are here - the ones abusing women or the ones fetishizing abusing women and nazis. Sweat mag art has this moral quandry. If you read the content of these mags things get even worse. These mags died as femenism rose. Good.

This brute would be more useful for post apocalypse game than roadwar. APC's have turned up but they are generaly using classes of machinegun that would shred most death racers. Even .50 cal a menace. Going through Chaosium books and looking at inconsistancied of bullets in BRP ive gone for lower range of .50 cal to 2d8+4 over 2d10+4

This is a good example of a modified militia type vehichle. Milia often have fleets of mick up trucks with swivel mounted MGs and crew in the back

War rigs are a menace and if your using them without a trailer they are wow. Most death racers would accelerate away easily though. I should possibly stst them up with and without trailors. I was going to do a second vehichle sheet with aircraft, ultralights, copters and some other vehichles.

This is a pretty terrorfying combo of rockets and heavy machine guns. This is a pretty serious corporate 4WD vehichle defending corporate compounds. I could see players modding vehichles with defences or remote decoy vehichles to draw that rocket fire.

Nice war rig fuel tanker with armed crewmen. Of course if you want that fuel your going tto have to board this thing or stop it without destroying it.

Sanctioned op equiped for night combat. A well equipped driver from a sanctioned op agency. Vehichles like this are often a cut above death racers. players have noted police cruisers and interceptors are among the best overall vehichles and the best to mod as sportscars will just send you broke and dont performs so well with armour.

I have no words for this horror. I would base it on one of those giant mining trucks and those might as well be cruise missiles and that cannon like something a train based cannon on ww2 would carry. In game this would be something a team would board and sabotage. Laser it from orbit.

Undead drivers are a thing in my setting. This one a serious menace to a typical death racer. Most advanced undead are very hard to kill, even for cyborg war veterans.

More like the kind of vehichles a nomad or farmer would use. They better have an escort.

This corp off roadster scout is well equipped but the cheap scratch built gang vehichles are far cheaper.

This image suits my setting well - rockabilly merc women, mini guns and zombies

Scratch built vehichle low on arms but optimised for cheap raming and anti personel. Trypical gang turf patrol car with spotlights for night watch.

I dont really get in Fury Rd how you could drive so long in Australia without hitting the sea. If there was no sea the world is pretty fucked. I wonder where oxygen comes from.

Gang armoured car relying on crew to fire out windows but capable of ramming.

The original Mad Max2 still the gold standard of the genre

I had some weird formatting bugs carried by image that took way too long to get rid of. After playing game again I will do a compilation book as I realized would make game much easier to play from laptop. I also have a spreadsheet for design a player made. A few mods to vehicle sheets needed also and rewrite the bonus cards with player benefits. I was donated some nice art but I want to make some that is more gritty. More mad max less gammaworld. Half reason I use BRP with all the crunch maxed out with locations, recoil rules and second combat rounds is to keep a gritty feel where every missed bullet makes you sigh with relief.

New characters created include a cyborg federal cop of solo gang fightinjg detail, a fame hungry frock wearing bloke tv celeb fighting gangs for fame and a replicant looking for reason they exist.

This handy for trolls, ogres and giants
Animal and human prisoners are common

So as I have my new alignment rules Im finally keen to make my pantheon for my campaign. Basically gods will be grouped in elemental pantheons with a god for the most popular alignments. Ive made them all a bit grim even the nice ones.

Ive mish mashed some mythical gods i like and several more posts on this for sky, solar and dark gods. Its a bit less rigid than previous pantheonsl I have done.

http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com.au/2016/10/what-if-alignment-was-like-sanity.html

Possibly it is what god gets your soul when you die. No reason not to respect other gods even opsed alignments. Other situations gods cults will fight and fued. This could be where cultures clash or represent a division in a comunity. Old cult vs new cult possible with two gods. Gods might marry to overcome comunity splitting.

So a town might have one or more popular alignments, the more people the more alignments. A metropolis with all alignments but several will dominate the civilization. You might have a city with several gods in a family as husband and wife, Several elemental groups could be applied or a triad of different elements.

Deities in local areaFamily stead of 25 people d4
Village of 30 to 150 people roll d8
Town of up to several thousand plus d10
City roll a d12 +1 every 10 000 people

1 One tribal or ancestral cult
2 One occupation or trade related god
3 One cultural boss god supported by aristocracy
4 Two deities usually siblings
5 Two deities usually heroic best friends
6 Two deities usually married
7 Three deities usually siblings
8 Three deities mother, father and child
9 Three deities parent and two children
10 Three plus d4 gods in small pantheon
11 Three d6 gods in pantheon
12+ Dozen main gods, hundreds of lesser cults

Cult temples are observatory towers or ziggaruts or fields of stelae. Many contain tablets of laws including weights and measures and other laws. Temples can also be market places in the open or on ships. Priests are excellent navigators, judges, bankers, doctors, lawyers, scribes, civil administrators and other educated occupations. They run schools, granaries, taxation and many regulatory and economic services for the state. Sin sails the moon like a boat in the sky.

The Kraken is a kin of the gods who has betrayed them and joined the demons of the abyss, commanding aquatic universes of monsters. Kraken cults are often secret, the public ones practice human sacrifice to keep away attention of their god. Towering ziggaruts and weird towers often over water so victims can be dropped in. Caverns with water or wells make possible holy sites. People give to the Kraken to appease him and keep them away. Sometimes monsters are called to carry away sacrifices. Fishing villages often worship the Kraken but sacrifices are often supressed by law. Monastic orders who care for the mad have been operated by cults also but the usualy hide the Kraken shrines from public.

Strange shacks are a good hex crawl add on for whenever you need a encounter. Good for any terrain just off the beaten track. Local hobos and children might know some rumours. A shack is mostly one room.

Dungeon Boss Hierarchy of Needs
It's a lonely life being a dungeon boss, but it doesn't have to be. Your dungeon boss or faction chief has plenty of things to worry about. When the most basic needs of life forfilled looking for mating opportunities becomes important.

Primary
Food source - regular reliable and storage of food source
Water source - regular clean water supply and storage
Lair - safe secure stronghold, hidden, fortified and guarded

Secondary
Territory - control a safe zone around lair
Outposts - secondary sites with permanent garrison
Romance - opportunities to find mates

Tertiary
Waste - remove waste and effluent safely from community
Hygiene - personnel personal grooming and food preparation
Breeding - breeding and raising children and colonising territory

But bosses get served first and get to do everything even if they restrict their minions. The boss getting a lover can seriously change their priorities and goals of a faction. Monsters might complain the boss is overly satisfied and not fighting for territory since they built the new master bedroom.The gang doesn't count concubines and abusing prisoners. It's only when a specific lover influences the boss over a period of time they cant. After several editions of torrid popular dungeon love novels in the last few years lots of foolish rich romantics have surrender themselves to dungeons. The more recent novels have taken a more realistic tone. "Life among the wild kobolds" was a big seller.

If party are captured and imprisoned they might be able to use the bosses lover to escape. Pretending to have same interest or helping their desire could earn a better position and more freedom in the dungeon.

Working on a few of my setting compilations and have seen ideas start as one thing inspired by others work and mutate into my own. Reinforces my desire to avoid all licence based settings and work to make my own settings more. Looking at lots of my own work as I compile dozens of blogs into word docs to prep for indesign. Making art and graphics too.

Possibly skip this bit about my Woes and go to gaming stuff below
I keep getting stuck in Sydney with work offers but commute is killing me and I don't really profit. Canberra I find restful and pretty but I go for days without any conversation and I struggle to approach new employers or use any positive adjectives about me or my work unless I read it in a newspaper first. Anyway I'm prepping docs in Syd and hope to start design/art in Canberra. Getting to Adelaide for Xmas is mostly to help my dad prep for his death - I would be better off just working and living cheap as I don't think I will get into my industry rosters in Canberra now. Dad says he has 2 years tops left and I am executor of estate and will have to do all the legal and liquidation stuff so I might at any time have to go to Adelaide to do that which could take months. I have a proposal to paint a toilet block with my art for a few grand which might be ok and handy for Christmas. Person who got permanent job at work I wanted is awesome and she in a Finn and I am half Estonian and we get on incredibly well. Im going to try getting a qualification so I can bet a better industry job in any state, get higher pay rate and hours.

In Sydney I get to game with friends easily and as much as I want If I was a player not a GM. Canberra is bigger in Board games and classic wargames. Despite large game clubs, gamer restaurant and a bar, my Canberra address has shit public transport and the clubs seem less communicative online than Sydney clubs. So I get games and work more in Sydney but It's social infrastructure is going down the toilet and it feels unsustainable. They are about to scrap bus time tables and inner city rent is pushing people hours away. Homelessness has increased especially women and gov shut down most shelters. So general lack of security and tough choices ahead.

Murder Highway Fuck Yeah!
So I got to run a extra session of this game today which went very well. Players had a lot of fun. The crunchiness of system adds to feelings of risk in a way I don't get from story games.

My tables made some very good pitstops and encounters on the way. I can get players to make some d100 rolls then turn into daily encounters, road hazards and opponents for a road trip. Players all working smoothly as team and helping each other tally huge amounts of bullets vs armour. Next step get lots of sets of 2d6 in different colours so I can roll up to 20 x 2d6+2 bullets at a time. Occasional I calculate victim will be gone on average roll so I don't bother. Sadly part of the grit of the game is stressing over bursts getting through armour and worrying about every stray bullet. Sadly I might make a form to aid two groups of vehicles driving at each other at 130 km to calculate ranges as they approach with one second combat rounds hosing bullets at each other. Lots of the game is pure role and roll playing. A few other game aids might help and will revise character sheet and vehicle sheets. Interesting seeing players adopt lethal tactics that reduce viable loot then reconsider. I probably do most of system heavy lifting and maths. Im kinda shit at maths but being 15 years older seems to make up for this. Also I noticed running simpler systems like marvel made my mental arithmetic skill decline.

The GigSo after a month apart the team meet in the roadhouse town they visited last game. The cop bought a load of lumber and sheet scrap and converted the ruined bunker into a shack and hid the military insignia and atomic fuel dump. Last time they found the old bunker with zombies and faster ghouls but they left radioactive fuel tunnels. Now with rad suits to fight a radioactive undead that apparently predated first reported sightings of undead by years. Shot it to bits piece by piece then hacked up melee weapons.

Day 1
So next day they set off to rescue a girl from a cult, commissioned by local respected rich aunt. The cop was troubled that the gang were the Diggers, war vets who had returned to become prospectors and performed odd jobs for mining companies including beating hippie protesters. The cop had heard they were ok from his old sarge.

Found and harvested road kill and found a burned cop car and cop. Met four renegade buggies and head on charged. Replicant lost his windscreen and his over the top armour served him well. A renegade planned to thow a pit bull through the windscreen but it never happened. Team members targeted the personnel and gunners using swivel mounts and exposed. This worked well and two buggies were destroyed and two others tried to flee, one with a burning flame thrower. Team caught them and questioned the dingo gang before the cop executed them. Replicant shot all the dingos the gang loved and put them in his car boot. He plans to get a biofuel plant for the car soon.

At night they got a bit lost and found a campsite with cinderbock brick toilet block surrounded by wrecked cars and caravans. The vigilante donned stealth suit and investigated. Found mystery stew pot and 4 sleeping bags and bones in a tent. In the toilet block heard creepy grunting and wanted to flee. Put phone on selfie stick and held over the wall to see what was happening. Four tattooed albino cannibals were abusing a swagman (a traditional Aussie hobo labourer). He lept in and hosed down the thugs with his gun and finished them off with his katana.

Party camped and the swagman gave the vigilante some gold dust. He has not realized the vigilante is a dude yet. Replicant cooked some dingo and they slept well

Day 2
After a late start with the replicant working on his car they set off and after a while found a intact 1970 Datsun wagon blocking the road. Replicant got out and really liked car. Seemed full of water, fuel and army rations and apparently a body. Of course he checked door and found a freshly drilled hole and wire connected to handle. So he tried to diffuse it and BOOOOM! He was thrown back and battered but his suit held up. Everyone was impressed.

Afternoon saw the road was cut throgh a hill ahead and they slowed down to 60kph. Three bikes jumped over the road dropping molitovs. One landed through the missing windscreen onto the lap of the Replicant. Shit. He braked and dived out door as it exploded. He rolled on the ground and the fire destroyed some of the rubber between armoured plates burning his flesh. The cop jumped out and used his extinguisher to stop the car fire. Vigilante on the bike turned up the cliff and hunted down the Dingo gang bikers. The first target bike broke in two killing the driver and passenger. One of the other bikes stopped in horror at friends gory death. The vigilante chased other bike and the passenger fired her sawn off shotgun to no effect before that bike was a blazing blood spattered wreck. Finally the vigilante destroyed the solo biker leader shrugging off a .22 rifle. Meanwhile the replicant got the fire out and was amazed to be alive. His car interior was a mess though.

Found a nice town where they got good accommodation but locals were anti mutant. Good food and charming 30s hotel with good satelite. Vigillante got to upload his combat footage. Was troubled by stories his celeb rival Nikki Webster. Nikki was a child pop sensation who hat taken anti aging drugs and was now appearing on "Celebrity Deathrace". The vigilante fumed. He had to get on that show. Next day worked on fixing cars, a days delay seemed ok.

Was big fun and mostly generated from tables. Lots of good fun and came up with some good streamlining and problem solving on game procedures.

Seth who plays the Replicant brought in a box of larger 9cm long cars with 40k guns on them that look pretty nice. He also made a spreadsheet which I will add to my uploads section soon to use my car building rules. Our club finally getting incorporated which is nice too.

Ancient Dungeon Machine Rooms
The ancients leaving tech is pretty common in the OSR and I wish MM2 included the robots and androids in it because DnD would be very different without it. Basic D&D modules featured tech and the mention of Gamma World in the DMG, Blackmarsh and Greyhawk mention tech occasionally. It fits in with other weird and fantasy fiction quite well.

The Russel Crow Noah film is interesting because it shows a gnostc cosmos - a resource depleted world. There was a advanced world and it abused a glowing magical material Zohar which it depleted. But I always thought Middle Earth and The Bible were post apocalypse worlds.

I remember reading about a kabbalist idea of a lost age with golems everywhere providing mechanical energy. Doors, water wheels, mills, gates, torture machines, lifting bridges, boats, pumps, gates, spit roasts, potters wheel, wagon, seige engine, etc. Golem crossbow that selfs cocks might be nice. I like the idea that some ancient artifact might just be a nice oven or steam bath machine or a theatrical prop for a king.

Lots of the newschool take on oldschool dnd books have dungeons with mighty machines. Even whole dungeons of them. Here is a collection of machine rooms with remains of elder tech. Much might be semi functional or sealed for aeons. Much might require some fuel source. These could be used with various races also with own custom tech

See my past blog on magic murder machines which i often stick in a dungeon
http://elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com.au/2014/09/1d100-magic-monster-machines-for-your.html

Operating a working machine usually is more dificult the stranger the function and more primative the medlers. Divination, researching elder tomes and time consuming manuals might help. Some might require some fuel or power source.

Blogger I read other day was writing poetry for his setting (citation needed? Doh sorry i forgot who now, why im not a academic). Being a fan of Clark Ashton Smiths purple pulsating prose I was Inspired as I realise my campaign is based on literary and history more than post Dragonlance fantasy fiction trilogies.

So here are some terrible poems for my DnD setting

Exile Island
Men of the frozen North dread it's shattered shores
Where stony coastal battlement towers reach the sky
Men of the mystic East loathe it's filthy grubbing maggot men
Who's swarming cut throats scrounge for long lost treasures
Men of the ancient West fear it's forgotten underland horrors
Which once ruled the world as blood soaked tyrant monster kings
Men of the South craved golden plunder and ancient wizardry
When the treasure fleets of the Empire came to dig and kill and die

Shadel Port The Pirate City
Shadelport grim Shadelport
Hidden in the dread misty seas of the the north
A shambling sprawling oozing heap of a city
Corroded spires and domes from ruins prehuman
Chocked by shit stained cottages of the festering poor
Where orcs walk the streets as men
Where the ever living Barron watches all
Where glistening eyes of thieves drown out the stars
Where pirate scum come to drink and chunder
Shadelport grim Shadelport
Nobody cries tears for you

Whaling Town of Bloodsand Beach
Bloodsand beach where black souls meet
Barnacled walls and moaning slaves
Screaming sealions and whale blood spray
Slit strangers throats and iron rendering vats
Winnow the week and squeeze out their fat
Not a bone left spare, not a scrap or rag
Not a selkie or sailor or slave ever did roam
Nothing and nobody ever came home

After I trying to read Dragonlance a second time in 1985 and couldn't I realized I was enjoying reading history for Call of Cthulhu more. I found Louse Brooks Autobiographical essays and blew my mind. I read the power of Myth by Joe Campbell which led to me reading classics and history and archaeology and got me going to uni. Also If I talked about history people thought I was well educated. If I talked about some obscure game thing people thought something very different. Anyway I used to envy the use of poetic literary tricks and while I don't understand what I'm doing or what caesura or enjambment is. But after reading lots of old classics and modernism and epics and sagas, something must have stuck and leaks out occasionally. Ive written fake Arthurian and Sumerian stuff and people where very angry with me when I explained it was intended as comedy to parody conspiracy culture.

I have lots of work for next 2 months and a mural to paint so Im hoping to get my own residence next year after 4-7 years of not having proper residence I can do as I please in and have my stuff on shelves and cook what I want and hopefully less rats and roaches. Maybe I should have studied and read more about accounting.
