d100 What are those wild people up to now?

Chagrinspire pdf on Patreon now
Had my birthday and an interview to be on a live stream twitch game

When you live close to the frontier the neighbors can be a little wild and rambunctious. This could be applied to barbarians, humanoids and beast folk tribes also. It is also handy for frontier gossip and might in fact be exaggerated and wrong. It might be a pretext used to persecute them. Maybe they are in fact even worse than the gossip. These could be clues to find treasure if graverobbing is your bag.

Some could be customs not understood by commoners or they could be adventure hooks. Maybe the tribals are doing strange things to drive off some evil force. This assumes a frontier or borderland where cultures clash. Civilised people assume they are righteous and are clumsy when dealing with others.

Chagrinspire 76pg PDF on Patreon

This is up currently and grifting it here as was one of the most popular things I've done in the last few years. It will be getting some revisions over the next few days as I made a font error but I will sit on it a few days. 

Link in L-hand sidebar

I do need to work on some other projects but some 3fold dungeons on the way for ruins in the wastelands. The Exilon stuff I keep getting stumped by my own historic pedantry. 

There will be some more tables and other stuff coming including some revisions of my homebrew character classes. I'm hoping to play this the next few months. 

Im still playing marvel currently which now needs very little prep as players hunting aliens lots.

I have some job apps to make and applying to be on a live stream Star Wars so will see how that goes.

V2 out now and 84 pages

I may add in a bunch of stuff from my Weird War One book from a few years ago like the haunting tables for tunnels and no mans land.

Thinking a squadron of dragons vs gnome biplanes could happen

d100 Wasteland Weirdos

Possibly some Charginspire leaked onto our new album.

Sampler short
https://youtube.com/shorts/Yj7jn40iomM?si=dflfJ10EdYYJqMYr


My Gunderholfen solo play has gone well im doing Lv 4 sub levels and realised id not been including rival parties who might be a good source of magic items. Im ruling as our fame increased more rivals appearing and even trying to kidnap party members when alone in streets of city. The encounter pack is good for any city. Party have a wizard patron and know of the cults possibly in the city and dungeon.

I will put up all chargrinspire table on a PDF on Patreon shortlyas I have almost finished the table and hexcrawl part - rule expansion and mega dungeon will be later. Fair warning will have place holder art that wont be used in any possible sale version.

These are people you might meet in settlements or wastelands or prison cells. They could be alone or in charge of followers or a gang or a party. They might meet in a tavern and be available for your party for a share (we do a share per Lv and pay our personal followers from our share)

As usual, feel free to change gender or make NPCs alchemical hermaphrodites or whatever - its a easy to fix thing with a polymorph spell

Also a reader compared to Phil Tippet's Mad God which a friend showed me after the first few posts and yes it is probably good imagery for this setting. Turnip 28 was an influence and probably my previous work on ww1 and post-apocalypse stuff.

To do
d100 Mutant Maniacs
d100 Wasteland Weirdos
d100 walls of the star fortress

I will probably have a break for other projects I'm recalcitrant of after these done and later will work on dungeons and character classes.

classes - alchemist, mutant, automaton, mystic/shaman

The Map
The grey box on the map graphic has a mistake I will fix but ready to print and make your own hexcrawl map - should say higher numbers are rarer. The mudlands are the no-mans land areas of battlefields and are surrounded by inward-facing trenches. Chagrinspire is surrounded by a star-shaped fortress full of ruined artillery. Like post-medieval cities.

These give you an alternative way of generating encounters by terrain and also provide an idea of suitable creatures for local flavour.

Subterranean Entrances in Chagrinspire

Played Gunderholfen solo up to 4th level sub levels. Had a few close near TPKs, lost a follower and blew 20% of all cash made on a raise dead for them. Blew every potion. Currently fighting undead which is a bit tedious now cleric turns used up. Cleric also has diseases but has a scroll - waiting until really need to use scroll as might face more undead that cause this. AC of cleric and fighter have helped them do ok. Helping to test new rule mods before next game and new character sheets. Currently running Marvel and it needs very little prep with tables i made this year and player-driven choices. Playing Ravenloft 5th ed and long time since i was a cleric. Feels like i can do cleric and fighter and wizard stuff well by my old-school wired brain. 

------------------------------------------ 

There are dirty holes all over the wastelands. This is to help generate on the fly. Some might be where monsters they meet as encounters call home. Some might be dungeons or underground transit tunnels. 

I will start on the Chagrinspire region map soon. The innermost defence ring around the dark spire has ruins of cities mostly drowned in mud or warped by Chaos hoping to subvert the Black Sphere mechanisms. They will be slow to find worthwhile undamaged goods and have to weigh it up with the risk of encountering mutants and creatures living in the ruins who hate outsiders. Once im satisfied with this outer region stuff I will work on the Dungeon Proper. All this started from a dungeon doodle and the urge to make a a exrta grimy filthy post-apocalypse fantasy world.

Will be working on post about the walls of the star fort around chagrinspire with vast walls with huge cannons and signs of past damage.
