An Abominable Fancy

Sometimes, I'm exactly in the mood for the classic simplicity of defining characters entirely by D&D's six attributes, as Knave does. But sometimes, I want the players have have just a little smidge more to fiddle with.

In the name of gudgeons and ginger-cakes pull those oars—pull until you crack your spines! Pull and start your eyes out, my darlings! We're on a shakedown cruise!

 Avast, me swabbies, bilge-rats, scallywags, and salty dogs of every stripe! A new campaign has appeared on the horizon. 

 As Fort Enterpirse burns, Ye Dogs of Destiny face the implacable power of the Imperial Elites!

5e Statblocks for the last big fight of the campaign, the dreaded Imperial Elites!

Ye Dogs of Destiny—captured and at the mercy of their enemies!

 One last flashback before the campaign wraps up: A father and daughter share a moment of joy and reverence before an approaching storm, but there are more than clouds on the horizon.

Can ye Dogs of Destiny escape the Unfathomable Underworld?!

The party plots their final moves of their sojourn into the Unfathomable Underworld!

Before she was a lich, Greta was Granny. She traded magical tattoos for gemstones. But you needn't worry if you had none. Granny was sure to offer you some other bargain.

More monsters and NPCs for the Bottled Sea!

 Here is the pitch document I made for the Bottled Sea.

With the Unfathomable! campaign coming to a conclusion, I'm starting to think about the next one. I won't have nearly as much time to prep, so I'm picking rules and settings that lend themselves to improv:

Mutant mutatis mutandis!

 What's cooler than cool? A frozen ice lady!

Ye Dogs of Destiny decide the very fate of the Universe!

  Ye Dogs of Destiny are befuddled by the Oracle of the Pit, disgusted by the life cycle of Chaos Flies, and tantalized by a mysterious frozen cave!

Thrantrix is a godling newly born of Primal Chaos. Like most godlings, her colossal ego cries out for approbation and the worship.

 Ye Dogs of Destiny leap from the Nullite frying pan into the Chaos godling fire!

 When a player was out for several weeks, we wrote a little play about his time away.
