Witch Asteroid SHAKE UP!

I'm shaking the blog all up! I've been using this site as a way for my players and myself to recap sessions in between weeks. It's definitely mostly a resource for myself to keep track of the characters and world details in a fun, and somewhat aesthetically-pleasing, way. 

BUT but the campaign is over! One of the players from Motherfuckers Prime is running their home-brew world this summer which gives me the opportunity to turn this blog from a session recap archive to a genuine blog (where I post campaign, item, NPC etc. ideas) while I get to play in a campaign instead of run one.

If you, for some reason, read through all of the MFP session notes you'll see the TTRPG system, blog format, and players change around a bit. I started running it using Knave, a bunch of "home-brew," and Mork Borg's vague setting. The earlier blog posts are also copy-pasted from Medium, where I started the recaps. In total we played from the end of January to the end of April. I've since moved to using Shadowdark (which is great!) as my house system, and really want to expand the setting into something much more personal and original. Luckily my players decided to rewrite history during the last session in a very "The Lich"-episodes-from-Adventure-Time way, where I can keep the familiar elements of the world but sculpt it into something new and mine.

Rebuilding the world of Lefort

My plan for the next game, set immediately after the last, is a Saturday-morning-cartoon villain campaign about the secret cabal that has been starting and stopping apocalypses for generations and now doesn't remember how to do their job. I plan on the posts after this one to build that campaign and any interesting ideas I have for it before I actually run it in the Fall.

Listened to "Future Club" by Perturbator.

One Evil Zombie

Image
“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

Zahir and the Immortal Pear Tree

Image
The people of Lefort worship the common Gods of Shadowdark, but modern mysticism on the island has introduced four new spiritual masters. The tallest mountain of Shiver grows an immortal pear tree. It's been growing since Lefort was created, and will grow until it's cut down. The pears are entirely ordinary but always juicy and delicious. The bark of the tree, however, is said to be the physical manifestation of the word of God. Zahir's prophetic dream Zahir is a Babilanayan human with a pointed beard, his hair shaved close to his head. He wears a loose brown robe, always strangely clean, tied at the waist with rope. Zahir lives on the tallest mountain of Shiver. He's accompanied by 4d6 philosopher-priests (stats as acolytes). After a prophetic dream explaining what he must do, Zahir stripped part of the bark away from the pear tree and wrote the First Book on the back of the phloem, a collection of poems observing the nature of the world. The First Book's musings o

The Holy Grail

Image
The half-orc templar of Sowden have been searching for the fabled Holy Grail of Lefort for years. They've whittled down the location to be somewhere within the jungle of Boar Valley, which the King of Sowden has named the Green Grail. At the center of the jungle lies an ancient temple, long abandoned by its Viperian council. Viperian shamans, wearing red (blood-dyed) cloaks with patches of white spots, care for the Holy Grail deep within the temple.  Viperian fresco of a dire fungus In actuality the Grail is an inverted psychedelic mushroom, its shaft sprouting up into a cap that grows outward like a chalice. An unlimited supply of clear jelly pulsing with purple energy sits in the grail, slowly infusing with the mushroom's psychoactive chemicals. The tendrils of the mushroom grow deep underneath the jungle for miles and miles, potentially expanding under most of the island.  The 2d4+1 shamans (stats as viperian wizards) sip from the Holy Grail as part of their spiritual ritual
