Skeleton Post 2019

It's a bestiary with over 300 skeleton variants. 42 pages long.

Too late for Halloween, and just in time to be late for Day of the Dead. Click here for the download link. I'll be back again next year with even more skeletons.

Again, here's the download link (PDF)

Wizard Pets! Eight Delightful Magically Engineered Creatures to Help Make Your Wizarding Tower feel like A Wizarding Home.

The Whole Menagerie. Wizard Shown for Scale.

Each of the following critters is made by some mad wizard to help with domestic tasks. Each exhibits some helpful behavior comparable to a cantrip. And each is capable of casting some sort of spell if a spellcaster touches it and focuses on feeding it some of their magical energy. (For GLOG, this would be Magic Dice; for a typical system, you would expend a spell-slot.) Think of them kinda like scrolls, but more huggable.

Nonsense Magic Item Generator

I added a bunch of extra effects to the magic item generator here. It ended up a lot less coherent, but it's still functional if you assume the magic items it's generating are all rejects found in a dumpster. Generate Items by clicking the following buttons:

Variants for GLOG mishaps and Dooms.

Here's a primer to GLOG wizard stuff if you have no idea what I'm babbling on about.

One of the things GLOG magic has going for it is the tension associated with powerful spells. You can always add more juice to a spell, but it drastically increases the risk of [bad thing] or [very bad thing] happening.

The standard way it works is that doubles give you a random 'mishap', while triples give you a predetermined 'doom'. Your mishaps and your dooms are tied to your school of wizardry.

But I want to simplify and generalize that system to make it compatible with classless play ala Knave or Into the Odd. Type1Ninja's excellent ruleset here is what I've been using. It make two changes. Firstly, there is a single class-agnostic mishaps/doom table. Secondly, the trigger mechanism is changed from matching die faces to simply checking for a 6, with a secondary stat which ticks down over time to make dooms more likely. It's good! But it doesn't quite make my soul sing.

Here are a few untested spitball mechanisms along the same lines.

Weird Little Coffeestain Island

You come across a corpse covered in jewelry and ornate armor. Clutched in its hands is a tattered piece of coffee-stained paper.

Completely unrelated, here's a map of Big Pig Island:

The Pominomicon! A Tiny Tome of Magical Fruits

This is a small collection of magical items for use in tabletop rpgs. It was designed for Chris McDowell's Into the Odd, but the file is very rules-light, and should be able to be introduced to any game with minimal trouble.
