Weird lore and gonzo mechanics for your RPG pleasure!
Not everyone is blessed with the insanity and credit score to go through Wizard College, which is admittedly probably for the best. However there are those who are willing to ACT like they were insane enough to make a few bucks and perhaps cash in on the general applause uh… respect er…fear? whatever that Wizards provoke in […]
The Furtive Goblin ‘Twas the night before Narblesnard and all through the burrow, one creature was stirring, his brow all a-furrow! The bars were set against the chimney with care in hopes that the squirrel menace would not soon be there. Scavenged wrappings lay piled in haphazard shreds, while the nightmarish fluff of a brown […]
But Lawful, your last post a month ago was a background list! I know, I know, I know. Listen, it has been a busy, maddening month and about the only thing that kept me sane was my Walter Moers’ audiobooks. Now, my European readers are probably more familiar with Moers and his works, mostly in […]
Ruins in the Jungle # 002 by Julian Calle Okay, so I have been working on my own background table for this New World setting. I know I very well could have used any Failed Career, Background or Race table that is out there, especially with Skerple’s GROG pretty much accomplishing some of the same […]
All images from “Fantastical Worlds Floating in Space” by Nicole Gustafsson So something that I feel has been stifling some of my creative flow and function has been the fact that I have not really been working off of any sort of established world or setting. Skerples has Elderstone, Arnold has Centerra, Dan has Mother Stole […]

Collect them all! So, you’ve killed yourself your first Prince and you’ve gotten a taste for blue blood. The pittance of power that you inherit for killing Princes isn’t enough for you though. You are gunning for the top, you want the power of a King, you want to be an Ontological Truth of […]
Mami Wata, 1880’s Snake Charmer Print This is a Tradition for the Witch Class by Monsieur Le Battlier. While your average Wizard invites spells into their skull to be fired out of their head-meat cannon, a practitioner of Voodoo opens their entire being to be possessed by spirits. Through bribes and sacrifices the practitioner of Voodoo […]
This is the basic premise of J.M. Perkin’s Salt in Wounds. A long time ago, a group of “heroes” and their armies took down the infamous and immortal Tarrasque after a long and bloody battle. The creature, however, refused to die as its regenerative powers continued even after its apparent “death.” Through ritual and powerful magics, […]
Never feed your Familiar after midnight So back in good old 2014, Arnold K. informed us all that we were doing familiars wrong. There are many other bloggers who have done good work with Familiars, perhaps my other favorite of which is James’ work on Ten Foot Polemic. Because I’ve gone off the deep end […]
