Random Table: Patron Diety

I'm working on some playbooks for quick character generation for a group a kids in an effort to keep chargen to five or ten minutes. I'm using S&W Whitebox, with bits of Holmes and whatnot tucked in here or there.

There should be just enough fluff to give the characters some distinction without everyone mulling for half an hour about what makes their guy special. Wizards are differentiated by randomly selected spells; fighters roll for backgrounds.

Clerics don't get spells at first level, so they needed something. Like a patron deity.

Roll 5 d20s to generate a patron deity.

Knave 2e Alternate Attributes

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.

Lasers & Feelings, RetroRocket

 Necro-Cavaliers of the Astral Galaxy reminded me of just how much fun John Harper's Lasers and Feelings is. So I made a hack. Like so many others have. There's no new titular dichotomy for my hack, even though lasers aren't so much a part of the 30's era, Buck Rogers-style, planetary romances I wanted to emulate. Something like "Rockets & Romance" would have been entirely genre appropriate, but there's no improving on the geek poetry of declaring "I rolled LaserFeelings!" Anyway, I hope you like it. Let me know if you play it! LASERS & FEELINGS, RETROROCKET (pdf) Here's some of my previous noodlings along the same retro-futuristic lines: Ray Guns Food Pills Strange Powers An Exaltation of Rockets
