SPENDING ALL THAT MONEY

September 29, 2015

SPENDING ALL THAT MONEY At the start of any session, you can declare that your character went on a binge, spending up to ((your level + 1d6) x 100 gold pieces). You receive 50% of that back as additional xp. However, you must immediately make a save vs. poison or roll on the following carousing mishaps table. (The table is a mashup of one by Jeff Rients and one by Gus L.) 1. Hangover – A soft, nauseous stomach, painful pressure behind the eyes, you’re hung over and roll at -1 on all physical actions next session. 2. You have acquired an addiction to one of the many substances available for consumption at the Temple of Ulim (1d4: 1. Black Lotus 2. Opium 3. Virdian Powder 4. Hashish). Anytime you return to town you must acquire and indulge in your vice (spending 50 GP x Level) on intoxicants.

When surpris...

His dog, Pigfucker Dugald, the linkboy (hireling) And later: Bryson Randall, merchant priest of Nepthlys (Mike Wentzloff) While drinking late into the night at the Blighted Orchid, the party received a discrete tip about Ultan's door from his cousin, a one-eyed stevedore named Malthus. After gathering their equipment and one unfortunate hireling, they converged on Ultan’s printshop the next day. After some haggling, Ultan escorted the party to the door under the stairs. Set into the wall into the space under the stairs, the door was 6’ tall, gorgeously painted in cerulean hues, with goldleaf flourishes. It was barred by a hastily erected piece of timber. Removing the bar, the party opened Ultan’s door. They were greeted by the impossible view of a ...

CHARACTER GENERATION RULES

September 19, 2015

CHARACTER GENERATION RULES We're using Labyrinth Lord with Advanced Edition Companion as our basis. It's like Old School Essentials (B/X) but with some more bells and whistles. STATS Roll 4d6 drop the lowest for stats, switch one if you like. HIT POINTS Give yourself max HP for first level, and then roll your hit points for each subsequent level. (You'll probably start as 3rd or 4th level.) STARTING XP Your character should start with 8,000XP or 1/2 your old character's XP if your character just died, whichever is higher. GOLD AND EQUIPMENT New characters can start with any items they want from the standard equipment list within reason. I will provide you with a few choice special items as well. If your old character just died, you have first dibs on their possessions, except for group artifact type items. Class and Race Notes You may play a human character or two non-human races that have been unlocked, the Plumed Reaver or Mole Rat Person, which you can find here You...
