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.

Twisting Undead (and Liches)

Image
Incorporeal and possessive demons underly most of Lefort’s fantasy antics: monsters, wizards, and also the undead. Undead are similar to other kinds of demon-possessed creatures (like minotaurs being demon-possessed cows), except the creature in this case is a corpse. Undead, like zombies or wights, are summoned magically by inviting a demon through occult ritual into a corpse to possess. And undead, like skeletons, are still encountered naturally, demon-possessed bones wandering around with semi-sentient abandon. Most demons are powerful enough to possess whole graveyards’ worth of corpses, making chaotic deals with warlocks and liches for undead armies. Ghostly and specterish undead, like wraiths, are transitory souls that demons have latched on to in the same way, favoring their natural state of incorporeality. Twisting Liches Argus, the Wizard-King of Argusdoom Wizards who seek to extend their lifespan can become a lich. Wizards of any alignment can become a lich, but the process ...

Imported from Medium.com Day 13, 12:00pm — Nothing of note, just another day on the road to the city of Grift. Day 14 — The party finds an abandoned keep and explores it. Calypso uncovers some rubble and finds the Chains of Death, a magical set of manacles, which Stile keeps. Victoria socializes with some crows in the courtyard and makes a friend, a crow named “ERR EEHN” (Ernie) who hangs out inside the party’s new birdcage they have hanging in their wagon.

He pranks Stile, giving him a poti...
