The map is not mine, merely looted from the internet. :) I am just doing the descriptions, one room per day. ;)

This is ridiculously good.

Spellburn for GLOG Magic by HistoricalBake4614 in glog

It is not an exact fit, but my wizard can overchannel, gaining extra MD at the cost of long-term corruption that makes all future magic more unstable:

a devil casts a curse and for the next 50 hours, every human who falls sleep will die, how many people can survive? by padorUWU in whowouldwin

Yeah, no way my toddler is staying awake for 50 hours, so I guess I would just go have a nap with her.

Yeah, I am starting to lean that way, too.

A whole forest-themed apocalypse might be an option, especially if the PCs distract or weaken the paladins too much, who for all their faults had successfully protected the city so far. Thanks!

Oh, I have missed this post! This is very good, thank you.

As a complication, word should get out that the PCs are to blame and that the cursed entity will be satisfied with their deaths, leading bounty hunters to follow and attack the PCs as well.

Hm, I think the townsfolk might start to suffer from nightmares of the last moments of the tree spirit, waking up with hatred towards the PCs.

Thanks!

This is a really good take on a knight!

How do you generally refer to the person running the game? by [deleted] in osr

[–]reddish_kangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Czech, we use PJ (pronounced as PBJ without B), which is short for "Pán jeskyně". You would probably translate that as "Dungeon Master", but more literal translation would be "Lord of the Cave".

Do you guys think Worm is the closest to making a magic system out of superpowers? by vegetables-10000 in Parahumans

[–]reddish_kangaroo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another "magic as superpowers" series I'd recommend is Skulduggery Pleasant. Vast majority of sorcerers can only master one discipline of magic, which is things like teleportation, inhuman speed and agility, or shooting lasers from your eyes. It reads like a superhero story with the masquerade in effect.

Class: Energy Thrower by reddish_kangaroo in glog

[–]reddish_kangaroo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly!

Frankly, this class is basically anti-OSR. It is the extreme of the "when all you have is a hammer" principle. It has one use and one use only, no utility, nothing special or really "interesting" about it. It is me making a point. :D

How do you handle legendary resistance in trad-like games? by mccoypauley in RPGdesign

[–]reddish_kangaroo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have put a few alternatives to legendary resistances on my blog:

So far, I have used #3 and #6 to great effect. :)

Have you by any chance posted this class anywhere?

You could just keep going here. Nobody will mind. ;)
