Dungeon spirits exist to torment, breed evil and lure in victims. Adventurers can be entertaining but their comes a time the genius loci has had enough and act out. Adventurers who cheat by running away when they get low on spells or holing p in a room for a rest or make the dungeon look too easy really annoy the dungeon. Resting in a locked room or trying to leave before resources depleted also annoy the dungeon. Basicly when the party try to have a easy time.

The typical protagonist of a fantasy role-playing game, who is a homeless guy who goes around killing people and taking their stuff. The term originated in discussions of tabletop role-playing games by authors seeking to create games aimed at styles of play not supported by traditional games like Dungeons & Dragons.

Four murderhoboes burned down the peaceful orc village, killed every orc in it, and looted their corpses.

2 murderhobo
A derogatory term used to denigrate old school players of Dungeons & Dragons, and considered a gross insult among real old school players andDMs. Users of the term falsely claim that murderhobo was the style of playback in the day (1974-1978) and that is based on a false understanding of what old school play is. Bitd the way that the original old school Dungeons & Dragons was played was as a game of exploration, and good play meant that you a avoided combat when possible and gained treasure by other means. Aplayer in those days only went into combat when it could not be avoided and only killed when it was necessary. If the goal could be obtained through other types of interaction, that was the preferred day.

Zac S did this Vital Research on Murder Hobos
I just (coincidence?) researched the history of the term today:

First use of the term (not the earliest google hit but only bc some pages update retroactively)

First use of it as semi undesirable:
someone says they don't mind it, just not in their Tolkien game:

First definitely negative use is....RPGPundit? He objects to the idea that most D&D ends up as murderhoboism but doesn't appear to object to the idea Murderhobos are bad:

Opinions on this vary in the thread
First usage afterward where the author assumes casually Murderhobo is a negative descriptor is someone on RPGnet talking about the Punisher:
https://forum.rpg.net/archive/index.php/t-601882.html
"I am super serious and tortured and, unlike all those pussies who call themselves superheroes, I get the job done and kill the bad guys who deserve it. And I'm a murderhobo living in the sewers, human relations are for the weak and untortured. Brooding. In the dark." The ridiculing helps to show how pathetic that character actually is. Heck half the Marvel characters have had more messed up lives…”

Early serious discussion of the term outside RPGsite on 4chan:
12/05/11(Mon)16:09 No.17115965
"Stop saying murderhobo"
"Nobody gives a fuck that you have to make people who play the game for different things look like they're doing it wrong""Murderhobo is a joke, the kind of stereotypical character a LOT of players make. You know. Munchkin'ized characters that have no living family,no relatives, no friends, no house, no connection"
"It's a character that lives for killing"

"Murderhobo
I've seen TONS of them"

"Yeah,I"m a Paladin-Inquisitor of Torm. My entire family got turned by Vampyres, and I had to kill them all MYSELF. I burned down the house, and left the kingdom in disgrace, forever branded to never exist. I have no home. No family.Nothing but revenge, and as Torm as my ally, I'll murder every undead that lives."

"Murderhobo"

"WHAT BACKGROUND?"

"ALL HIS FAMILY IS DEAD.
HIS FRIEND ARE DEAD.
HE KILLED THEM ALL HIMSELF.
HIS ORDER BANISHED HIM.
HE HAS NO CONNECTIONS TO ANYTHING.
He's so grimdark and metal that whenever he walked HOLY DIVER plays!"

"What can he roleplay besides murdering things?ANGST?"

12/05/11(Mon)16:26 No.17116119
"it doesn't help that the guys who make murderhobos are either:
a) newf*gs who don't know any better
b) emotionally unstable and looking for catharsis
c) emotionally unstable and looking for a power trip
d) angsty basement dwellers
or e) THAT GUY"

"Most of my groups murderhobos are either b, d, or e; with one of the two e-types, whom I like to call THIS GUY in person (he doesn't understand the reference at all), being my best friend who actively enjoys WoW despite having gone through everything. For comparison, I can't even enjoy playing unless I have a friend running alongside me (usually THIS GUY) the other e-type is a registered and self-described sociopath with enough personality that I don't really mind his excesses so long as I can manage to have some fun in his shadow"

12/05/11(Mon)16:30 No.17116153
"Holy fuck, dude. It's time you consider that you might have some big issues as well. If ALL your friends really do suck that bad, why do you hang out with them? Because you are so fucking co-dependent you can't stand the thought of being alone so it's these chucklefucks you cling to despite the fact they are chucklefucks? Or you're so fucking repulsive that you can't go out and get another set of friends?"

"But to be completely honest, a lot of my characters end up being murderhobos just to troll the people I game with. And I wonder why I haven't had a regular gaming group in over a year.”

"You know I actually played a murderhobo once.
He was a woodelf. He kept a rapier hidden in his giant hobo coat. He spoke a gypsy cryptelect. He also murdered people for food.
So, yknow there you go"

While I have done elaborate d100 tables for everything I sometimes like a simple quick d12 table even just to set a mood. Sometimes you just need a quick result in game. These tables are to provide a quick mood compared to my larger ones. Considered including stats but this gets to be a problem with high level monsters with more abilities.

The first table results are more likely to be scenic than fights but could be opportunities for rumours, meeting new people. On a common encounter table roll on a 12 you can accept the result or roll a second d12 for uncommon encounters. You could also use the uncommon tables at night or when evil omens are out. Or roll on my equivalent d100

ive been after it for a looong time
biotech and psionics and space gods in one book
one of more bonkers rpg books ever and full of strangeness from a space age mesomerican space empire universe with thrall races
and it cheap as too

Torg Tharkoldu book influenced my portrayal of tech in all rpg games since
cyberpapacy would be great for any time travel game - i used it for a planet in my sf universe
i had no interest in torg as is i used it as a module for marvel for a year
if you wanna run Cthulhu in space
2nd ed 2300 AD man's battle for the stars plus the vehicle and equipment guides and even the kafer sourcebook for a alien race would be a fantastic consistent ALIENS type universe of future colonialism meeting aliens on the frontier and having a war with the kafer (cockroachmen who get smarter the more they fight and assume always smart humans are dangerous barbarian psychopaths).

put in some mythos investigations ruins and anauthorised cultist colonies, some long predating human space flight (???)

the cybertech/earth/beanstalk book is pretty good too

Thats what i use as my main inspiration
|
plus the also cheap and I recommend:
High Colonies book. which has a similar tech and feel but i use as sourcebook for the earth solar system.Ignore mediocre reviews. One of better solar system campaigns ever. It assumes earth was destroyed in war but really aliens bastards did it and now they hide in the ruins. Ignore reviews of this it has lots of good stuff like rolling up orbitals and habs and asteroids and moons.

2300 and High Colonies have a dry militaristic detailed universe to have militaristic adventure in. So it has lots of detail about politics, economics, technology, factions, organisations. Its a good blank slate to ad other tech, supernature, new aliens, cyberpunk, androids whatever. As they are they can be dry and er militaristic. Has some good exploration and military adventures to be fair.



Cthulhu now stuff from 91 onwards.plus ripples from carcosa with a roman, dark ages and a sf adventure. A reincarnation nephalim cthulhu type mash up game might let me use this and strange aeons books. Anyway  there are a few cthulhu now books i had missed and many are still available. I think If I ran Modern cthulhu I would mix laundry with superworld and a bit of zenith. Anyway as ive been playing cthulhu mostly of late ive been scoring cthulhu stuff from that era my city had none in the shops. Sydney had and still does have some old stock and so does perth. Local post has been kood and noble knight do good bulk purchase freight which is great. I usually buy from UK Germany Korea Hong Kong France Italy Spain with USA being prohibitive cost One book i want from USA is $130 Australian for a $50 US book by post so I will have to wait tor a while till it comes to australia or i can get a good frieght deal from another store as bulk from USA is better if i have to do it

Anyway enjoying reading of late. Fighting fantasy book killed me in 15 minutes.Have about two-three tables to finish then onto next book layout. I might have too draw too.

d12 Dungeon Zones1 Gothic Realm - haunted by horrors and the dead
2 Brick Dungeon - cheap quick brick throwup dungeons are spreading
3 Goblin Mine - ancient goblin occupied mine complex
4 House of Amber – rich madmen in eternal sprawling palace
5 Giant Fortress – crumbling giantland fortress goes on forever
6 Sunken City – semi sunken coastal and reef filled ancient ruins
7 Castle Grim - complex of human warlords
8 Elder Ruins - crumbling haunted remains of alien pre human gods
9 Lost Temple – crumbling desert ruins of the ancients cities and tombs long lost
10 Forbidden City – jungle shrouded lost world of monuments and monsters
11 Glacial Citadel – frozen elder ruins among ancient glacier kingdom
12 Underland – subterranean races and kingdoms, remnants of lost worlds

d12 Worlds of Elfmaids & Octopi1 Planet Psychon - Apocalypse future tech wrecks and exploration
2 Xor - magic meat dungeon
3 Faerieland - faeries and goblins n stuff
4 Hells - devils and death and torture!
5 Shadelport - under the eternal city
6 Exile Island - wilderness hexcrawl
7 Space dungeon space age wrecks to explore and plunder
8 Nightmare kingdoms - dreamland dimensions
9 Wizard Words - mutidimensional magical chaos stuff
10 Spirit Land - early humans interacting with beastmen and spirits
11 Demon Land - planes of chaos and demonkind
12 Primordial elemental worlds and wastelands
italic ones in some stage of development now
Been thinking about what my final of 12 dungeon zones and worlds
i like the idea of a prehistoric beast spirit cult setting but as a dungeon type to conquer as a dungeon seems a bit blah so better as world type

Castle GrimSo crazily i think a human centrist military instillation from gate house, watch tower, slaver or bandit camp, secret police watch house, criminal lair, templar fortified church to castle or prison. For those raids on instillation fighting humans related stuff. Easy to add other dungeon types to them to simulate other organised fighting forces strongholds. Can mix or replace with demi humans or humanoids (hobgoblins and orcs and humans mostly). Intelligent competent professional fighting force to test heroes. Will have treasure and hostages and equipment and store houses. Possibly incorporate markets and other basic services. Could include royal dungeoneer corp camp maps.

In some ways kind of really boring. But potentially useful. Demi human, humanoid variants. Evil cult or criminal gangs or chaos invaders, different orders. Possibly could include my mercenary tables, all my invasion table sets. Could include my 21stc dimensional invaders army and special forces stuff. Been thinking about what my final of 12 dungeon zones

This is a extension of a previous dungeon spirit post. The dungeon is alive and can be dealt with like a intelligent but usually malevolent. Yes you could meet the dungeon spirit in a humanoid or monster or spirit form and fight them. Killing such a spirit only makes them unable to assume a form for a week to a month. Some dungeons have a heart that can be destroyed severing the spirits link to the world. This is often in the main treasure area or temple and has guards and even the spirit will manifest to defend it. Most spirits are happy slamming doors, rattling chains, dousing lamps and alerting monsters. Greater ones can move corridors, doors, secret doors, traps and more. The greatest dungeon spirits are entire dimensions nested between hell's or other dimensions or part of the abyss. Big dungeons might have multiple competitive spirits or a boss spirit with sub level spirits.

Sometimes potions are made with mistakes or the alchemist or whoever can make inbuilt weaknesses for various reasons. Making batches increases risks of side effects. Sometimes they arise from substitutions in recipes or poor aging (that powder was a liquid potion). A potion pusher might cut the potion with some other ingredient like opium. Such potions might be slightly cheaper. A potion maker can take longer to make a pure potion and use better ingredients and can be an extra 200gp. Some side effects are an improvement. A fireball potion that only harms chaotic evil people might be handy. Potion users often carry a identical healing potion and injected poison potion tegether to stop enemies using them. Some users might resist the negative effects eventualy or have a antidote. If your addicted to a potion you can substitute alcohol or other substance to abuse instead.

older item on this

Remnants are scrap monuments from ancient times, mostly prehuman times when men were wild animals. Sprinkling these around can give clues about ancient civilizations in the area, That stone wall in the store with funny writing is actually a talking point and good for dropping clues about the area. I like to make it obvious the local planetary crust is thick with dungeons.

So after six months of this game and for one player 4 deaths, the oldest characters have semi retired while new recruits take the field. Some exposure to lesser books and some museum evidence then some shotgun lessons and recruits are ready to go. Two new players on team a catholic priest from a poor background and ex convince pus a alienist to replace the party semi retiring one whos player now has a boxer employed by Enzo to watch his Mamma. She is back from her rest but already regretting it after seeing monsters.

Arrive Hollywood and saw Fatty Arbuckle!
Recruit crazed actor to join them
Party in Devils Canyon
Exploring abandoned movie set
Nonna killed a celebrity gossip columnist (Why you gotta kill people Mamma?!)
Almost killed crazed movie star in ruined cliff pueblo
Stalked by invisible things on ruined film set
Broke two lenses that allowed you to see them
Car tyres slashed
To be continued....
This is what the international  International Order of Esoteric Gentlemen have so far....

Made lists for players to use resources better and to hothouse new characters and use allies better. Six months is a lot of mayhem in cthulhu to keep track of. I should list spells in each book.

Am a tad burned out and Ive stopped posting daily. Mostly playing Cthulhu of late really and reading and researching for that. Not really working to quality i want and need to change what Im doing as It feels more like work than fun and not getting much extra reward for extra effort so Im winding back for a bit.

This was done as a reward for my top tier on Patreon.
Seems to be a struggle to give away my labour.
Will be playing with some art and reading for a bit.
Have a few colourist things to do.

I just finished a version of my redbrick book on Patreon too over a month late.
Next Dungeon Zine is for Psychon, finished but no plans to release. Will do a few more as Ive been using them as bribes gifts for ppl who comment.
