Bug Collectors In the Necropolis

An additional ecosystem for +Arnold K.'s Bug Collector class. Levels 1-3 roll 1d10. Levels 4-5 roll 1d12. Levels 6-8 roll 1d14. Higher levels, you need to make something up, I guess.

Ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

Collect the first ten and earn your Necropolis Bug Badge! +2 Save vs. Disease.
Collect all 14 for the Necropolis Master Badge! Turn Undead as a first level Cleric, advancing levels from there.
  1. Banker’s Beetle: This ravenous scarab will eat up to 1000 coins, and then kill itself pooping out a jewel of roughly equivalent value (1d6: 1. 60%; 2. 75%; 3. 80%; 4. 90%; 5. 100%; 6. 110%).
  2. Skull Maggot: Let this guy crawl around a recent corpse for about ten minutes and then eat it. You gain a vision of the exact circumstances of the deceased’s demise, and make the rest of the party think you are super-gross.
  3. Mimic Polyp: Can take on the appearance of a small valuable object for about one Turn. Useful for distracting pursuit.
  4. Boss Gnat: Summon a swarm of tiny insects with can be directed at a single target. They do no damage, but are very annoying (Target at -4 to hit for one round, then -3, -2, and -1 for one round each).
  5. Gill Bug: Wear this bug over your nose to breathe normally in noxious environments for 1d4 Turns.
  6. Armadiiliidae: Roll this black-skinned pill bug up and bowl it at the nearest locked door. As Knock spell.
  7. Ghoul Louse: Can be thrown. Causes paralysis in humanoid target for 2d4 Turns. Save vs. Paralysis.
  8. Umbra Moth: This fireproof moth will do its best to extinguish any lights in the vicinity.
  9. Manna Locust: Nutritious and delicious, one manna locust will serve as rations for three. They’re highly perishable, however, so you can’t keep your leftovers.
  10. Homing Drone: If you rub a substance (silver, gold, potable water, etc.) against this insect’s belly, it will detect and seek out the nearest large quantity of it. It plods along at about half normal human walking speed, keeping a very steady pace. It will not notice if you are delayed by, say, a wandering monster encounter.
  11. Thaumaparasitiforme: Given 1d6 Turns, this tick-like parasite will eat the enchantment or curse off one magic item.
  12. Clavate Morsel: Eat this bug and a pair of antennae sprout from your forehead for 1d6 Turns. You can detect secret doors, traps, and invisible, but get easily overwhelmed by the pleasure of your new senses (-2 to initiative). Eventually, the antennae dry up and fall off.
  13. Zombie Ant: Let this insect burrow into the brainmeat of a recently deceased creature, and it will reanimate it for 10 –(HD of dead creature) rounds. It will obey one brief command.
  14. Vampire Flea: When deployed, the flea will attack one creature at random (you can throw it to make it more likely it bites someone in a given vicinity) for 2d6 damage. In 1d6 rounds, it will make its way back to you, whereupon its bite will heal you up the amount of damage they it caused the target creature.
Go on. Eat it. It'll give you powers. I swear.

Notes
I'm playing a Bug Collector in my kid's campaign, and it's a lot of fun. The real function of this post is to spur others to develop more options for the class so that I'll have more stuff to play with.

I don't know if I have the power levels right for these, at all. Mr. K hasn't written any bugs at the 4th or 6th level yet, and he might have very different calibrations in mind.

I actually started writing these bugs in the hopes of generating 4th and 6th-level bugs for the ecosystems already presented (because my Bug Collector is getting up there), but they sorta turned into this instead.

I really like the name "Scroll Weevil," but couldn't think of a magical effect to go with it. They eat scrolls and then... ah... I got nothin'.

Reviewing Rules for Play-by-Post Optimization

I’ve played a lot of PbP games: all your favorite flavors of OD&D, AD&D, and their retroclones, Call of Cthulhu, Marvel Superheroes, Traveller, Dungeon World, etc. ad nauseam. In almost every instance, I forgot what ruleset we were using at some point. Which is a good thing. Once chargen is over, you spend a lot more time describing your characters actions and poring over the GM’s descriptions than you spend interacting with rules. When you do roll, it’s usually a combat to-hit roll, which you’ve probably programmed into the online dice-roller as a macro. Pretty much any game will work for PbP. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t points of possible optimization. Point 1: Resolution. Anything that can keep the action moving is a boon to PbP. A game that requires a back-and-forth exchange of information to resolve an action is going to progress very slowly. A good rule of thumb is that it’ll take 2 or 3 days to get a response from any given player. At that pace, an exch...

Knaves, fancypants

I've prepared a new layout document of Ben Milton's Knaves . Knaves is a great, light rules set that has an extremely elegant core mechanic while retaining total compatibility with OSR material. It's pretty much the rpg of my dreams. This document contains the complete rules, plus a bunch of useful hacks from the community, plus a few of my invention, plus some useful resources from Ben Milton's previous effort, Maze Rats . EDIT: I've updated the layout to fix errata and make a few tweaks. Further, I've made 3 variations: KNAVES TABLET LAYOUT The Tablet Layout is meant for scrolling on screens, and contains hyperlinks. KNAVES SPREAD LAYOUT The Spread Layout is set up to print on Letter-sized paper. KNAVES A4 LAYOUT The A4 Layout is set up to print on A4 paper, and is probably the most elegant of the three versions. This is presented with generous permission from Ben Milton, and should in no way be an excuse for not purchasing a copy of Knav...

Maze Rats by Post

In my previous post , I reviewed a bunch of my favorite rulesets for optimization for Play-by-Post. It occurred to me almost immediately that I hadn't really thought about Maze Rats enough. In fact, I'd mis-remembered and mischaracterized it. Upon reflection, one of the mechanics I took issue with is actually a big strength. Re-reading the rules, it seems like just a few very simple hacks could make it a highly-optimized PbP game. As follows: Danger Rolls are rolled by the GM. Danger rolls usually fail, so it is in the player’s interest to describe their actions plausibly and mitigate as many risks as they can, in the hopes that they don’t trigger a danger roll. 2d6 + ability bonus ≥ 10 If you have taken enough precautions to have a distinct advantage in an action, but not enough to have eliminated the distinct possibility of danger, the GM will give you a roll with advantage. 3d6 keep 2 + ability bonus ≥ 10 Because each character only has 3 ability scores (S...
