Tower of the Octophant, Drownesia, etc.

Like I posted earlier, I'm making all the game stuff I use at home, including projects LotFP cancelled after Raggnarok available to y'all.

Today, some outside adventures:

Iguana Isle, The Megacorpse, Tower of the Octophant and Drownesia

This four-pack of one-page (ish) places and situations is all about sailing and exploration. The first is a pirate fortress where PCs can try to blend in or just take over, the others are set in Drownesia (or Southeast Asia)--investigating the body of a god being picked at by pterodactyls, an elephant-headed ogre, and a Drownesian princess bride in need of foreigners rescuing from her dinosaur-riding groom.

Includes a 7 page pdf plus a simple map for players to use and a lots of pictures, including the fully-illustrated way-too-much-effort two-page spread "cheat sheet" I use at home for Isle of the Octophant (previewed below).

$5.04$ mail me to arrange payment via app zakzsmith AT hawtmayle and I'll send the pdfs or, if you can't use payment apps (like you live outside the US), just tip me here (membership is free, you won't be billed) and then send me your email address and tell me you want Cube World #4.

The Curated Destruction

“…at times I have traveled for many nights through corridors and along polished stairways without finding a single librarian.”

-Jorge Luis Borges, the Library of Babel

While building the random encounter table for this one I considered the usual megadungeon inhabitants--NPC parties, escaped prisoners, maybe a vampire. But then I decided no, no intelligent monsters: I don't want anyone in there with you capable of understanding where they are.

The velociraptor in the library seemed to be exactly the point--its dumb staring chicken eyes just scraping past all that effort and thought and attempt to build and communicate. Dead people, whole dead cultures, trying to tell you--tell anyone really--something. And nobody listening. I liked that.

The Curated Destruction (Cube World Installment #3)

Each room of the library consists of one or more hexagonal galleries lined with shelves, with each gallery possessing a second balcony-level held aloft by wooden columns (reached by an immensely tasteful winding staircase in the southeast corner of each room), all executed in the warm and scholarly middle-fae style of southern Broceliande during the Second War. Unless otherwise noted (or flooded past 10’), each is lit by six torches in sconces set along each column. If extinguished the torches will be re-lit the next time the party returns.

It is the Curated Destruction, a semi-legendary library created by the elves to contain all useful knowledge and literary art. The hexagonal shape of the libraries’ galleries derives from the shaft libraries of the ancient serpentmen, the name derives from the method the elves employed to make these collections their own: since the serpentine libraries reportedly contained all possible literary works (all masterpieces, all possible inaccurate plagiarisms of these masterpieces, all accurate predictions, all false ones, texts containing only the letters xvi over and over, utter gibberish, this module, etc) the elves compiled their vast libraries by looting the shaft libraries and destroying every meaningless work.

The party has just found every book they could ever want…in among a practical infinity of ones they don’t.

This is a mammoth installment: 36 pages plus the map. The library-dungeon and all its sections, plus 100 rare books, over a hundred new items and the entire rest of a d1000 all-purpose dungeon treasure table. Plus a table of useless (?) books the PCs pull off the shelves

Your torch throws a dozen shadows across the spiked pit

Every dungeon needs quiet spots, where there are strange things to see and strange choices to make in the dark. A switching-post between the more intense areas--this is what The Echo Chambers are for. They can also just be a fun place to chase an enemy through--like when the spooky music kicks in at Bowser's castle.

I put together an adventure in three parts leading down into them: in the first scenario, the party heads through the wilderness to investigate a heresy at the behest of religious authorities, in the second section the party encounters the cult of the White-Lipped Goddess in a once-abandoned fortress, and the third section is this dungeon.

Each section leads into the next but there are other ways to run them—you could place a treasure at the end of the first or second section and have complete scenario, and you can place enemies from the section section in the Echo Chambers and have a diverting one or two-session dungeon crawl.

Either way, this installment of Cube World should give you at least six hours of play, and likely much more. It also includes a d100 random potion table along with a list of the exotic ingredients necessary to make each potion because I had a monster that was carrying random potions...

It's an 11-page pdf plus a map. Tip $5.02 to get it (since these new modules have a kind of informal presentation, I'm only asking 5 bucks now that the roll-out is over).

I've also been getting more Demon City spreads in from the graphic designer, here's a taste:

New Fucking Content. Buy it.

Maybe you heard. If you like drama, go here.

Anyway, while waiting for the legal systems of various nations to set straight what the online game scene has got crooked, I have not been idle...

 I've been well...playing D&D with porn stars. As usual. And drawing and writing out the entire world and all the dungeons. This includes all the tools on this blog that haven't otherwise seen publication (updated to reflect all the new stuff I made since then), over a hundred pages of cancelled LotFP content (including adaptations of all of Violence in the Nympharium and Bards), hundreds of pages of new stuff, including hex locations, new monsters, weird religions, everything.

The point was to just do it. Everything. Nothing piecemeal, nothing where I worry about publisher quirks, how to format it for the blog, etc. Just all the D&D: new rules, tools, creatures, classes, every country, every continent, from to Vornheim to the goblin kingdom of Gaxen Kane to Drownesia plus a vast megadungeon beneath. The whole Cube World.

Originally I wasn't planning to publish any of it, but since reaction to the benefit for Adam Koebel's victims was so positive, I figured, ok, maybe there are some people in the online RPG scene who aren't gullible psychopaths. Maybe they can have it, as a treat.

So, here it is-the part the D&D w/Porn Stars crew is playing just this week.

It's a couple of linked scenarios (detachable from each other) a social-interaction clusterfuck involve shenanigans in a castle (a duke, a count, a scheming priest, a dark secret etc) and the rest about the dungeon beneath. It runs to ten pages plus a map and I've run it as part of the beginning of a megadungeon and as a one-shot in its own right--it works either way. So far Kimberly's lost a warpig and all the fingers on one hand.

Niksa Belorac is Carole Baskin Backwards (new adventure available)

Exotic animals, competing factions, controlled substances, murder-for-hire, mutilation...the DM who asked me to write her a Tiger King-themed adventure didn't know what she was getting into.

It ran to ten or eleven pages including old-school D&D-style stats (she requested Lamentations of the Flame Princess, so they're technically that), a full-color illustrated dungeon map and the island sketch above.
