One Evil Zombie

“How can only one zombie be scary to a group of adventurers?” Short answer: watch an Evil Dead movie. Cheating answer: let’s design a new zombie. The core zombie: AC 8, HP 11, ATK 1 slam +2 (1d6), MV near, S +2, D -2, C +1, I -2, W -2, Ch -3, AL C, LV 2 Undead. Immune to morale checks. Relentless. If zombie reduced to 0 HP by a non-magical source, DC 15 CON to go to 1 HP instead. Let’s add some old-school flavor and edit Undead: Undead. Silent until it attacks. Immune to morale checks. In the world of Lefort undead are always corpses possessed by demons . After watching Evil Dead: Rise tonight I realized how similar this concept is to the Evil Dead series and was inspired to create this post.  This isn’t some poor soul dimly reanimated. This is a master of chaos and evil inhabiting corporeal form,  possibly for the first time. ATK 1 gore +2 (1d8 + black bile), I +1 Black Bile. DC 12 CON or 1d4 CON damage (can’t heal while ill). Repeat check once per hour; ends on s

Session 1: Haum

Motherfuckers Prime, the first campaign in the Dying Lands. A mix of Mörk Borg’s setting, Knave 2e’s rules, and lots of homebrew. Players: Henry Park, James Moutsos, Jill Gotz, and Nico Sweeney. Imported from Medium.com The Dying Lands Day 1 — Teenage, chump-addicted delinquent Gorthron “Son of Death” and gold-skinned guard Calypso awake from a corpse pile on the plains of Grift and head to a nearby village. Investigator Victoria Hildegard and shepherd-archer Stile Bright get to know each other at the village’s inn, the Grey Galth. Gorthron and Calypso (having just realized she now possess a crescent-shaped halberd and golden skin) arrive at the village of Haum, enter the Grey Galth inn, and sit at the same table as Victoria and Stile. The four uncover that they’ve all died, or so they thought. They remember being in the city of Grift, a giant falling from the sky, and mass destruction. Noticing the pleasant summer wind, it must’ve been months since the wintery attack on Grift. The par

Twisting Demons

Demons can be pretty fun. But I also think the traditional D&D lesser demons and their lore is confusing and I’d rather make up my own. Incorporeality Elric of Melnibone is very cool. In the classic sword & sorcery series he acts as much like a wizard as he does a fighter, conjuring spirits to come to his aid. I’m a big fan of the invisible, intangible, and all-around mysterious nature of the demons. There’s something much more terrifying about ultimate chaotic evil if it can’t be comprehended. This also matches the real-world description of most spirits and demons. They’re often speaking through objects, possessing animals and people, and summoned invisibly in occult ritual. Possession Demon possession! Super super fun. I watched Journey to the West (2013) this month and I thought it was great. Especially loved its treatment of demons. The demons appear to have possessed and transformed common animals beyond their natural form, increasing in size, intelligence, humanoid form,
