This is a post about my Dark Sun game.<br />
<br />
Like any pre-made setting, everybody runs their favourites a little differently. It occurs to me that because Dark Sun is so weird and different from bog standard D&D, it might be useful for me to have something I can point my players to and say "It's like this".<br />
<br />
Here are some unique people, places, and ongoing conflicts in my version of Athas:<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>King Tithian of Mericles</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The current (mortal) king of Tyr.<br />
<br />
Tithian was born into a noble family. After giving up on learning the Way (Psionics), he became a Templar of Kalak, serving the immortal sorcerer king for many years as his Master of Games, and eventually his Master of Works as well.<br />
<br />
Only a few weeks before Kalak's attempt to ascend to godhood by sacrificing the city of Tyr did Tithian turn against his master. He aided the other Deposers of Kalak (gladiators, a patriar, and a Veiled Alliance witch) in overthrowing and killing Kalak, driving the aged sorcerer's own pointed crown through his blackened heart.<br />
<br />
Tithian now wears the same bloody, melted crown upon his head.<br />
<br />
As king, Tithian's first act was to abolish slavery in Tyr, freeing all the slaves in the region. His second act was to install the templars as the nominal law enforcement of the city, beholden to him and the council of nobles. Beyond that, little is known about Tyr's new king. He has shut himself away within Kalak's golden palace while his templars try to keep the peace in a city that is tearing itself apart.<br />
<br />
For those mercenary enough to work for or with the much despised templars, King Tithian has a bounty board of nigh impossible tasks:<br />
<ul>
<li>Investigate and clear out the monsters in the iron mines - 5000gp</li>
<li>Destroy the gang of criminals known as the Iron Rats, hiding in the Under Tyr - 2000gp</li>
<li>Capture of any spies sent from the six remaining sorcerer kings/queens - 2000gp</li>
<li>Infiltrate the Blacksun Villa - 1000sp</li>
<li>Capture/Expose any member of The True, a cult of Kalak revivalists - 700gp</li>
<li>Creating a working map of Under Tyr's crypts - 100gp per mapped room</li>
</ul>
<br />

</tbody></table>
Widely considered the most wealthy, decadent, and influential person in Tyr outside of the nobles and the templarate.<br />
<br />
When the slaves were freed, many noble houses and merchants struggled to cope. Suddenly they had to pay fair wages for work, or they'd find themselves without a labour force. Lady Penumbra seems unaffected by this; her hundreds of servants and workers have remained loyal to her, and are willing to work for almost nothing in order to remain in her care and employ.<br />
<br />
While many patriars attest that Penumbra's kind treatment of her slaves before and after Kalak's death is what keeps them so devoted and loyal, more than a few merchants suspect her of sorcery.<br />
<br />
Little is known about her past. It is known that she is a native of Raam, but has lived and worked in almost every city state. She occupies a Ruling House in Altaruk and has bizarre relations with a tribe of halflings in the Ringing Mountains.<br />
<br />
Lady Penumbra is always looking for skilled individuals willing to do difficult jobs with a certain level of discretion:<br />
<ul>
<li>Assassinate Tectuktitlay, sorcerer king of Draj - 10'000gp or permanent property in Tyr</li>
<li>Recover any magical items found across Athas - trade for metal equipment/favour</li>
<li>Destroy a rival Trade House of Altaruk - 1500gp</li>
<li>Recover specific objects from the iron mines - 1000gp each</li>
<li>Delve into the Door of Drakes - trade for specialized items/weapons/favours</li>
<li>Create a working map of Kalak's Ziggurat - 100gp per mapped room</li>
</ul>
<br />

<b>Aris Ariphistaneles and the Veiled Alliance</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfEI2bRmvE0-INEz8HYUeZyavobo3XYQa3LmHorg61GSC1kQz5YJ2E6RO3oiPwlxirHsOOmn1dTssZC2wP8ccEU7IRBHQeRNaHFDN_jOqemd0aK11fNFkZnGspBJ8zRgCdKDdBH7T9jUs/s1600/Chojiro.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfEI2bRmvE0-INEz8HYUeZyavobo3XYQa3LmHorg61GSC1kQz5YJ2E6RO3oiPwlxirHsOOmn1dTssZC2wP8ccEU7IRBHQeRNaHFDN_jOqemd0aK11fNFkZnGspBJ8zRgCdKDdBH7T9jUs/s400/Chojiro.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The current head of the trade fortress of Altaruk, and widely considered the most connected person in the region.<br />
<br />
Aris is a modestly handsome man raised in the trade fortress. While most citizens of the town are visitors from other city states, Aris calls Altaruk his home. He alone cares more about the fortress' prosperity and continued existance than about making a profit. This is evident in him pouring his family's vast fortune into Altaruk's reconstruction after it was last destroyed by giants (The city of Altaruk has been destroyed/rebuilt many times over the centuries).<br />
<br />
Aris is also secretly a member of the Veiled Alliance: one of the six living Guiding Hands. Other than perhaps his other contacts in Tyr and Balic, Aris is the highest ranking member of these secretive preservers in the Tyr Region.<br />
<br />
"Those who wear the Veil" are always looking for informants and soldiers in their fight against the sorcerer kings of Athas. More often than not Aris' goals as the head of Altaruk overlap with his goals as a Veiled agent, and he will reward anyone who can accomplish any of the following:<br />
<ul>
<li>Assassinate any of Abalach-Re's viziers - 5000gp each</li>
<li>Caravan guard duty from Altaruk to Balic/Altaruk to Tyr/Altaruk to Raam - 1000gp</li>
<li>Spy on Lady Penumbra, report plans she has back to him - 10 survival days per useful report. </li>
<li>Uncover the whereabouts or weaknesses of "The Wastewalker" - 500gp</li>
</ul>
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Sorcerer Kings</b><br />
<br />
Athas is dotted by nine city states, each ruled by an immortal tyrant of one form or another: the sorcerer kings. Most believe they have always existed, others think they must have been human at some point in history. They, and their templars, make claim to the world of Athas and all of its resources. They are the closest things to gods in this world.<br />

<br />
Member of the Feathergale Knights and (former) ally of the Cult of the Howling Hatred, <b>Savra Belabronta</b> has followed you back to the town of <i>Red Larch</i>, and is willing to share what she knows about "this whole cultist mess in the west".<br />
<br />
1. The Feathergale Knights is was a flamboyant order of knights from strongholds all over the west of <i>Remlia</i>. An absolute boys club (until Savra came along), the order commissioned <i>Feathergale Spire</i> as a private club house they could operate out of. They mostly just ride hippogriffs around, hunting monsters, drinking, and telling old war stories.<br />
<br />
2. Secretly, the Feathergale Knights were a collection of gay soldiers wanting an 'all male' place to stay in order to get away from the pressures of hetero royal marriages. Savra admits that this is most likely why she wasn't welcome there. Without their leader <b>Thurl Merosska</b> vouching for her, she probably would have been kicked out.<br />
<br />
3. Less than two months ago, Merosska promoted Savra to second in command. He explained that the Knights had a new purpose: serving the Air Princess. They were given new armaments, new flying mounts, and new orders. Merosska assured Savra that their new purpose would better the west; that the Feathergale Knights would become the champions of justice they always claimed to be.<br />
<br />
Their new orders consisted mostly of spying on other cults and foiling their plans whenever possible (especially the Cult of the Black Earth). They were also to kill, kidnap, or torture anyone who got to close to the underground Air Temple.<br />
<br />
Savra explains that she thinks Merosska never really liked the Air Princess, or taking orders from her. She got the impression that the Air Princess wounded his pride. Savra was conflicted about this, because she secretly loved Merosska, but she also holds great respect for the Air Princess, who she felt was "another female noble having to make her own way in the world, just like me".<br />

4. Savra has never been to the Air Temple proper, or actually met <b>Aerisi Kalinoth</b>, the Air Princess in person, but she does know a bit about its layout and armaments:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The temple is built into a long abandoned, underground dwarven city called <i>Gran Besil</i>.</li>
<li>The portion of the city the air cultists control is made up of old shoppes and stores, as well as a mausoleum. A great waterway flows through it.</li>
<li>It is guarded by a tribe of loyal crow-men, numerous specialized cultists with powerful weapons, and air elementals.</li>
<li>She knows that kidnapped commoners are sent to the temple. She thinks they may still be held captive there. </li>
</ul>
<div>
5. The cult of the Howling Hatred is allied with the <b>Slime Princess</b>, <b>Ice Princess</b>, and occasionally the Cult of the Crushing Wave. They despise the Cult of the Black Earth and their leader Stone Princess, and regularly try to sabotage their training efforts in a nearby haunted site called the <i>Sacred Stone Monastery</i>. *She marks its location on your map*</div>

<div>
6. The Cult of the Howling Hatred has been instructed not to interfere with the Slime Princess and the Ice Princess' plans for <i>Port Martel</i>. They have infiltrated the city and its magisters, made the Viscountess disappear, and are planning on marrying off the Viscount to the Ice Princess Yuki in order to solidify their hold on the west. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7. Each of the cult princesses wields a powerful magical weapon. The Air Princess' one is a spear called <b>Windvane</b>. She doesn't know what it does, but she's heard that Aerisi keeps a collection of mortal victims around to keep it powered up. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
8. All of the princesses and cultists fear the <b>Bone Princess</b> in <i>Gravetown</i>. She is allied with no one...yet.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9. While she didn't take part, Savra had heard that the princesses' take over of the abandoned <i>Gran Besil </i>was met with resistance from a summoned angel. It took their combined effort to repel him, smashing his wing and head with their weapons. The angel used his flaming sword to wound Wave Princess, giving him the opportunity to escape.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They had assumed that the angel had succumbed to his wounds and died, but she says that the Feathergale Knights happened upon a broken angel wandering the hillside. They captured him, but he was stolen away the same night Thurl Merosska was murdered. She says they never got around to sending word to the Air Princess of the angel's survival. </div>

I'm gearing up to run Princes of the Apocalypse, but in my home setting of Generica (of which Remlia is the main country where humans live).<br />
<br />
I've run G+ games there before, but in different sections of the country. Here's a quick image to show where exactly Eastern and Western Remlia are located on the map proper.<br />
<br />
Also I have no idea how the scale works. At times I've described Remlia being about as big as Washington state, other times its more on par with Ontario.Kiel Chenierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016752327301291104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916963191195344234.post-57362054036334732322015-02-22T16:16:00.004-08:002015-02-22T16:16:49.653-08:00Lore Garbage: 10 random facts about Remlia<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>Dungeon Master Appreciation month</i> is nearly over, and I've decided that its end should be celebrated by dungeon masters getting the opportunity to be a little self-indulgent with their settings. <b><a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+KielChenier/posts/Nxpqx9MYiTY" target="_blank">Check out the 'rules' of Lore Garbage and how it works on Google+.</a></b><br />
<br />
<b>Here are 10 random facts about Remlia, the main country of Generica.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDd27BXnG0nvsaQd6ng_MAs54sRiIgvDowyrhId5c5q2P62X4Mic32v8Bto1j2eWtY7UrPI1v2V4RlG5k98CBaSnlyiZLa5bR6aObrdRtaYC5S9-6h_6nNNvz3kVEBjlzpSoJhsrBDysg/s1600/10_questions_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDd27BXnG0nvsaQd6ng_MAs54sRiIgvDowyrhId5c5q2P62X4Mic32v8Bto1j2eWtY7UrPI1v2V4RlG5k98CBaSnlyiZLa5bR6aObrdRtaYC5S9-6h_6nNNvz3kVEBjlzpSoJhsrBDysg/s1600/10_questions_1.jpg" height="285" width="400" /></a></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Paper money.</b> Called "Queenbills", these paper bills have replaced the minted gold and silver coin in Remlia. As such, moneychangers are quite common. This is believed to be caused by a tremendous influx of foreign gold pieces when adventurers from other worlds invaded two centuries ago.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Halfling Slaves. </b>Up until recent history, halflings were considered a slave race in Remlia, useful only for toiling away in fields or mills. While slavery has been abolished for almost a hundred years in Remlia, halflings are still commonly associated with farming.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Immaculate Conception.</b> The Battlehammer line of queens in Remlia are immaculately conceived. Once crowned, a queen can suddenly become pregnant, and that unborn child is the new 'one true heir'. Any/all children conceived normally by a Battlehammer queen is considered a bastard.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Womanly Pursuits. </b>In Remlia, magic and warfare are considered to be female callings. A man may become a wizard or a fighter, but he'll seldom rise in rank to commander or arch-witch. It is a common saying that "...a man's place is in the fields, or behind the counter of a shoppe". <br />
<br />
<b>5. Elfheim.</b> The southern city of Elfheim was built as a refuge for escaped slaves from the bordering country of Figaro. Most 'free elves' live there. It is built on the ruins of Gran Turath; a city that sunk into the depths of hell itself, spawning the first Tieflings. Elfheim lies above many dungeons.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Gran Remiel.</b> Capitol city of Remlia, Gran Remiel is almost the size of Manhatten, and lies upon an island inside a huge lake. It has been noted that Gran Remiel has more shoppes that sell exotic animal barding and ceremonial knives than it does alehouses and taverns. Nobles and politicians in need of drink send each other bottles of wine through a series of pneumatic tubes that run beneath the city.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>7. Cats are Potions.</b> It is believed that most, if not all cats in Remlia are secretly liquid, and become drinkable when a specific command phrase is uttered. All cats are different kinds of magic potions. Mackerel Tabbies become healing tinctures, Bobtails become regenerative salves, Munchkins become shrinking potions, Devon Rexes are potions of polymorph, etc. Tigers and Lions become potions of greater potions of agility and courage, respectively. No one has tried to drink a Rakshasa, yet.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Evil Elves.</b> Remlia is currently at war with the southern elven nation of Figaro. Figaro high elves can live to be 1000 years old, but they mentally and emotionally mature at the same rate as humans. There is no 'long view' with elves, and they are seldom patient. They are prone to curmudgeonly behaviours, agist attitudes, narcissism, and eventually madness. Hence why they often become despots and dictators.<br />
<br />
<b>9. Crystal Dragon Skulls.</b> All Bahamut ever does is grant wishes. It is said that when the fabled seven crystal dragon skulls are gathered in one place, Bahamut will appear and grant a single "bullshit free" wish. The skulls are thought to be hidden all over Remlia. <br />
<br />
<b>10. Firearms.</b> Red Falcon, a notorious group of shady mercenaries in Remlia, are rumoured to have invented the first crude firearms, which they will sell to anyone who pledges to use them to kill the Queen of Remlia (Penelope Escha Battlehammer XIII).Kiel Chenierhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016752327301291104noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916963191195344234.post-89994431190066929362015-02-21T15:43:00.002-08:002015-02-21T15:43:14.297-08:00Carousing, Philanthropy, and Research: Spending time in the free city of Tyr.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(These rules are subject to change, as they may be revised during play).</div>
<br />
I'm currently running a dungeon crawl game set in Dark Sun; the only published setting I actively want to run and play in. Because I'm tracking time outside of the game as passing <i>in game</i>, I decided I need some carousal rules to fill the space.<br />
<br />
Eventually I'll port these rules over to cities in Generica as well (Gran Remiel, Port Martel, Elfheim, etc).<br />
<br />
<b>Carousing, Philanthropy, and Research:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Rolling on these tables requires two things: At least 2 uninterrupted days/nights in game where your PC isn't incapacitated, cursed, imprisoned, etc, and an amount of gold pieces equal to what you put forward.<br />
<br />
While in Tyr, roll 1d8 x a set amount of gold (25gp/50gp/100gp). You spend the amount of gold rolled for on sapwine, gambling, pleasurable company, and bets (carousing), charity, investments, and good deeds (philanthropy), or access to scholars, secret information, and spies (research). In return, you earn an amount of experience points equal to the gold spent.<br />
<br />
If you don't have enough gold to cover what you rolled, others can chip in to help. You earn as much xp as you can afford, and players who helped you earn an amount of xp equal to the amount of gold they chipped in. If no one volunteers to help you, you earn the xp of whatever amount of gold you can spend, but must roll on the result table(s) below, but with a d10 instead of a d20.<br />
<br />
If you spend 150gp or more on carousal, philanthropy, or research, you get to roll on the result table(s) below.<br />
<br />
<b>Carousing (d20):</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>1)</b> You make a fool of yourself in front of everyone. You gain no XP. Make a Charisma save (moderate DC) or become known in Tyr as a drunk.<br />
<b>2-3)</b> You run in deep while gambling, and now owe three times what you originally spent to a cabal of elven merchants. Refusal to pay is an invitation to being killed.<br />
<b>4) </b>Your sexual dalliances have left you with a disease. Roll on the Athasian venereal disease table.<br />
<b>5)</b> Your rowdiness gets you arrested by Templars. Pay five times what you spent in carousing or be held prisoner in 'The Hold' for a month (or plan to be broken out of prison).<br />
<b>6)</b> You lose all your wealth gambling. Roll Wisdom check for each magic item/metal item in your possession. Failure indicates it’s gone.<br />
<b>7)</b> You drunkenly sleep with a bitter rival/villain. He/she/they swear revenge on you, seeking you out in your weakest moments.<br />
<b>8)</b> You get a bad tattoo. 45% chance that it's in a random language you cannot read, and is insulting to those who can.<br />
<b>9)</b> Awful hangover. You take disadvantage on all Constitution checks and saves for the following 24 hours. Restoration spells and items can cure this.<br />
<b>10-15)</b> No ill effects. Party hard!<br />
<b>16)</b> You gamble and break even. You regain the amount of gold pieces you spent on carousing.<br />
<b>17)</b> While drinking, you make friends with a valuable NPC who can become a hireling or a source of future patronage. She/he gifts you a random trinket.<br />
<b>18)</b> You become romantically entangled with a noble or templar. She/he/they becomes a new bond for your character, and can offer you favour in the future. She/he/they gifts you a random trinket.<br />
<b>19)</b> Incredible gamble! You win big at rot grubs or shell-fist, earning 1d4 x what you spent carousing back.<br />
<b>20)</b> Spirit of partying! You lift the spirits of the women and men of Tyr. You make back what you spent carousing, and earn double the XP. You are remembered fondly by the common folk for a number of weeks equal to your level.</blockquote>
<b>Philanthropy (d20):</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>1)</b> Your hard work and money actually goes into funding an organization opposed to you. You gain no XP, and they use the money you put into philanthropy against you in the future.<br /><b>2-3) </b>Your generosity attracts the attention of thieves. Make a Dexterity saving throw (Hard DC) or lose all your wealth/possessions and start play with half of your hit dice.<br /><b>4-5)</b> Your altruism has made you an enemy of the Templars. You now have enemies of high standing who will try to thwart your future actions.<br /><b>6) </b>Your generosity insults the pride of those you are trying to help. You cannot perform Philanthropy in Tyr for 1d6 + your level sessions.<br /><b>7)</b> Your donations cause conflict among the lower class. Your reputation is now at stake. You cannot perform Philanthropy in Tyr for 1d4 sessions.<br /><b>8)</b> You garner the attention of a rival philanthropist (noble) who wants all the credit for your actions. You now have an enemy of moderate standing who will try to thwart your future actions.<br /><b>9-15) </b>No ill effects. How benevolent!<br /><b>16)</b> Your actions grant you a piece of information that may be useful to your current quest or future adventures.<br /><b>17)</b> You gain an ally of moderate standing who will try to assist you.<br /><b>18)</b> You gain an ally of high standing who will try to assist you.<br /><b>19)</b> You gain the attention of a secret organization working to better people's lives in Tyr. They grant you an amount of gold pieces (in favour) equal to what you spent on philanthropy.<br /><b>20)</b> Champion of Tyr! Your generosity and good-heartedness are becoming legend in Tyr. You earn double the XP. You are remembered fondly by the common folk for a number of weeks equal to your level. </blockquote>
<b>Research (d20):</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>1)</b> The abyss gazes back! Your research leads to a horrifying discovery. You lose the amount of XP you stood to gain, but you are now aware of a vital (and shocking) piece of information.<br /><b>2-4)</b> Burn out! Staring at musty tomes and grilling old coots has left you mentally exhausted. Make a Wisdom save (Hard DC). Failure means you gain no XP.<br /><b>5-6)</b> Your curiosity draws the attention of an enemy. You now have an enemy of high standing who will try to thwart your future actions.<br /><b>7-9)</b> Dead end! Your research leads to nothing. You gain a quarter of the XP equal to how much you spent researching.<br /><b>10-15)</b> No ill effects! Highly logical!<br /><b>16)</b> You gain information that could be useful on your current quest or future adventures.<br /><b>17)</b> You gain information that grants you inspiration (advantage) in this session.<br /><b>18)</b> You learn a new Intelligence based skill or new language.<br /><b>19) </b>Cartography!

Tiamat is the current 'big bad' in my home campaign. She's an evil five-headed dragon goddess. All I really know about her is stuff from other people's settings, and this bit I wrote when I was trying to think up a cosmology for Generica:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>"Her gleaming enormity lies asleep and dormant within the orbiting moon. It is said that she, the splendid five-fold calamity, is the cause of all monsters in Generica. All foul beasts are but the dreams of slumbering Tiamat, manifested in the material plane.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>These monsters are the price sapient beings of Generica must pay for a world safe from an awakened Tiamat, who would surely raze the entire planet until it is all but cinders and ash.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>The other gods (Crom, Agro, Yondhalla, Lolth, Moradin, and Bahamut) sealed her away within the moon, fearing the destruction she sought to bring to their assorted creations. Also they needed something really big in the sky to make the tides work, probably"</i></span></div>
<br />
So I had a dormant threat. Something to bring up much later in the campaign as a world-ending calamity my players could work against.<br />
<br />
I wanted to foreshadow it a little in a 2nd level adventure I wrote about moon cultists, trying to perform a ritual that would summon the moon. My players started on it, fighting the cultists in an abandoned temple while the ritual was taking place below.<br />
<br />
Then the party's ranger died, and they spent the rest of the session scrambling about trying to find a way to resurrect him.<br />
<br />
The cultists triumphed, the ritual went off without a hitch, and now the moon is slowly hurtling closer to the planet, where it will eventually crash.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"Well shit" they said.<br />
<br />
So now the falling moon has been a spectre of doom over the campaign; a constant worry in the back of my player's minds. Since then they've learned that Tiamat's inside the moon, and that she'll be released if it crashes.<br />
<br />
Skip ahead a while. My players are now all 5th level. They've just killed off the Ice Queen (another long running campaign villain) and are exploring her underground lair. Inside they find a genie, who offers them a single wish in return for retrieving his lamp.<br />
<br />
They take it, and then spend almost two hours trying to perfectly word their desired wish. This is what they came up with:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>"We (our names) wish to immediately know and forever remember whenever we are alive the top 5 ways that we can successfully prevent the moon from crashing to our planet and prevent Tiamat escaping without causing what we would consider to be a major calamity to the world or us"</i></span></div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
"Oh...is that all?" the genie replied sarcastically.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had nothing planned for this. I mean, maybe a couple of vague ideas for adventure hooks and magic items, but not a top five list. So the genie gave them instructions to find the Library of Zorlac, where all of these answers would immediately present themselves to them. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That gave me a couple of weeks to come up with several somethings. I asked the Google+ OSR community if they had any suggestions, and they didn't disappoint (though unfortunately "throw a giant blanket over Tiamat so she falls back asleep" didn't make the cut).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here's the Top 5 Ways to Stop Tiamat:<br />

<b>#5 "Just fight her until she falls down" </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Taken from a tome of divine biology from the Zoology/Biology section of the library, this book lists all of Tiamat's numerous strengths and her very few weaknesses. Basically it gives the players access to Tiamat's stat block ahead of time. It also suggests specific tactics in bringing down the five-headed beast, which are as follows:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Lure Tiamat to the Well of Souls (ancient ruin in Figaro guarded by wraiths and demi-liches), ensuring that she falls in.</li>
<li>Weaken her essence by deafening at least three of her heads. Magical dwarven war-horns or the Chapel bells of the Lord of Light are recommended. </li>
<li>Fire several salvos of 'Arrows of Red Dragon Slaying' at her main head. </li>
<li>Have an army or large group of armed people hit her with swords/spells in her weakened state.</li>
<li>Finally, drown her in molten silver blessed by at least two of the original six deities who sealed her in the moon.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<b>#4 "Go back in time and screw things up"</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Taken from the scrawled notes of Zorlac's Mathematics librarian, this method suggests taking one or several people back in time to a point where Tiamat can be routed before she ever becomes a threat. These notes specifically use Tiamat as an example, listing times such as when she ascended to godhood, when she was split from the breast of Ao the world dragon, when she broke up with Bahamut, her litany of other bad relationships and breakups, and when she was sealed inside the moon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My players have also considered going back to stop the original moon cultists who set this in motion, but that might require them facing their past selves, which could cause a paradox. Instructions are as follows:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Obtain a bunch of rare 'chrono-ore' from the corrosion wastes in the Praxis Territories (which is tricky, because it only appears at certain times).</li>
<li>Have a well trained smith fashion the ore into an amulet (one for each person making the trip).</li>
<li>Have the most powerful witch/wizard in the land perform the sending ritual (most likely a high magister of Figaro).</li>
<li>Ensure you have the proper histories or scholars present who can tell you exactly when in time certain events took place (the position of the planet, the position of the moon, the drift of the planes, etc).</li>
<li>Go back in time.</li>
<li>?????</li>
<li>Problem solved.</li>
</ul>

<b>#3 "Move the moon with a giant robot"</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Taken from the Alien Cultures section of the library, this book of strange pictographs depicts an enormous metal warrior moving what looks like the moon into the heavens. On the next page it shows the same metal warrior strangling a five headed dragon. The metal warrior depicted is a Bio-Titan, a giant robotic construct native to every single world (If you have a campaign setting, somewhere it has a giant robot buried underground).</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
My players have already uncovered Generica's Bio-Titan, which they used to kill the Ice Queen. Unfortunately it is running out of power, and requires four magic stones to recharge itself back to full power. The locations of these stones are as follows:<br />
<ul>
<li>The red one is in the eastern badlands, claimed by Mogmug Pigrider, greatest of the 39 orc warchiefs.</li>
<li>The blue one is within the volcano of the Jagged Bone Islands, south of Remlia.</li>
<li>The green one is lost somewhere in the underdark beneath Figaro, lost to clutches of the first dark elves.</li>
<li>The yellow one is <strike>buried deep in the sands of the eastern continent, forever lost</strike> in the possession of potion monger Euria the Second. </li>
</ul>

<b>#2 "Change the orbit of the moon from its surface"</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Taken from a book of celestial magical wards (and their histories) from the Magic section of the library, this solution involves travelling to the surface of Generica's moon, where several magical wards have been placed to keep Slumbering Tiamat's prison in orbit. One of those wards was destroyed by the Cult of the Dragon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The book includes detailed maps and layout of the moon's surface, along with instructions on the most expedient way to reach it if magical portals cannot. The instructions are as follows:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Gain planar passage via a Riftstone. </li>
<li>Travel to Sigil, city of doors. </li>
<li>Here you must book passage on a planar ship (spelljammer), which must sail through the ether, reaching the material plane from the outside.</li>
<li>Successfully land on the moon (while it's falling).</li>
<li>Reenact the movie <i>Armageddon</i> with Bruce Willis. </li>
</ul>

<b>#1 "Summon Bahamut to fight/stop Tiamat"</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bahamut, spawn of split-Ao, twin/hated enemy/ex-lover of Tiamat, platinum god of all metal dragons, must be summoned to do battle. Unfortunately he's under an enchanted sleep, and only his seven gold dragon disciples can wake him. First, they must be found:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Three of them reside on the material plane, fighting the good fight. </li>
<li>Two are trapped in a prison in Lolth's trans-dimensional Demonweb.</li>
<li>One is chained at the bottom of a volcano on which a fire giant king has built his manufactorum/citadel.</li>
<li>The last is deceased and can only be resurrected by collecting his bones from poisonous swamp and then cutting a deal with the very gods of death.</li>
</ul>

<i><br /></i>
<i>When the elves and men looked away, it wet its lips and ate them up. It crunched their bones and slurped their brains. It pulled the elm branch away, and it had the face of an elf and the face of a man. It was both and neither. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>When the gods looked back and saw this, they were confused. "Wh-what is that?!" they cried, "Did you make that? Who made that?!" All replied "Not I". "Wh-what is it? WHAT IS IT?!" they shouted, no one would take the blame. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>If someone busies themselves in your affairs, if they're not quite elf or man, if they smile and seem friendly, do not look away"</i><br />
<b>-Saul Spidermin, recounting an old fey tale.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Dopplegangers in Remlia</b><br />
<b><br /></b>In the world of Generica there are many creatures that can change their faces. Ancient wyrms are said to take the form of bent travellers, hags and vampires can take the shape of comely lasses and nubile men, even goblins can imitate the traits of those better than them. None compare to the imitation that is a doppleganger.<br />
<br />
Dopplegangers are scary in concept. They're a creature that can look like anyone and exist to steal your secrets and take your place. That can be pretty arresting stuff. Then again, there's a lot of monsters that can look like other things. Mimics can look like various inanimate objects, changelings can do most of the things dopplegangers can do, but less so.<br />
<br />
So I propose that they're all one and the same.<br />

A doppleganger is an intangible and inhuman thing, trying to mimic other lifeforms. Perhaps they start out simple and formless; small creatures with rudimentary transformation abilities. Relatively harmless, until they begin to learn more.<br />

Then they become Mimics, moving up the food chain, bettering their ability to blend in and change shape. With greater intelligence, they become masters at imitating inanimate objects. Only once they've devoured a sapient creature's brains can they shapeshift into one.<br />

They then become Changelings; fully sapient and aware, able to blend in with the gatherings of other humanoid sapient creatures. Here the changeling can either fully adopt its chosen form permanently, or continue its more monstrous existence as an alien other. Most choose the latter. After they've consumed the brains of more than one race of creatures, they become true Dopplegangers.<br />

True dopplegangers are masters of imitation and disguise, able to shift forms quickly and imitate creatures perfectly, even their most prized strengths and traits. This masterful imitation does not come without a price, however. Dopplegangers have assimilated many different creatures, and under extreme duress they have trouble differentiating between them. When this happens, they become a 'Thing'.<br />

A Thing is a twisted amalgamation of all of the objects and people a doppleganger has assumed. Incredibly dangerous and unpredictable. This is the true form of a shapeshifter.<br />
<br />
<b>Family of Imitators</b><br />
<br />
A doppleganger is an inhuman thing that looks human (or looks elven, or dwarven, etc). It can also look like any object of a certain size. The types of forms they can take depend on what they've encountered and consumed.<br />
<br />
These monsters are statistically the same as how they're listed in the Monster Manual (type v), but with the following changes:<br />
<ul>
<li>Because shapechangers confound the divine powers that be, they are immune to radiant and necrotic damage, even if assuming the form of something vulnerable against such damage.</li>
<li>If you encounter a doppleganger that is imitating YOU, you are immediately surprised and cannot save against this. However, this surprise effect can only effect you once during combat.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>A small blob-like creature, these shapechangers are often mistaken for oozes. </li>
<li>They can assume the shape, size, and texture of various small objects. However, this imitation is poor, and only a simpleton would confuse the creature for the real thing (low DC check to reveal).</li>
<li>These roly-poly shapechangers are prized by rich nobles to be used in parlour games and during parties. Extremely rich families sometimes keep them as pets.</li>
<li>Once a shapechanger has tasted blood, it becomes a Mimic, able to grow teeth.</li>

<li>Mimics can only imitate simple and inanimate objects such as doors, walls, floors, chests, etc.</li>
<li>A mimic forms inside of itself a blood-red gem. This gem holds the image of their true form and various other unworldly memories. It is worth 1d4 x 25gp.</li>
<li>When a mimic consumes the brain of a sentient creature, it can then change its appearance to that race of creature. Consumption of brain matter also imbues it with all of that creature's memories. It becomes a Changeling.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Changeling - Challenge 3 (able to be played as a PC race in some games)</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>A changeling can imitate any humanoid creature it sees. It also gains the 'telepathy' trait.</li>
<li>A changeling can only perfectly imitate creatures of races who's brains it has consumed. </li>
<li>A changeling is susceptible to charm and sleep effects at this stage, but has advantage against them.</li>
<li>A changeling cannot imitate weapons or inanimate objects while imitating a person.</li>
<li>A changeling's internal gem is worth 1d4 x 50gp.</li>
<li>Changelings can telepathically bond to a single creature, assuming that form perminantly. Now that they are functionally that creature's double, they are psychically linked. If one dies, the other dies as well. When one is harmed, the other feels the pain as well.</li>
<li>This is the stage at which a changeling can choose to continue down the path of evil or attempt to fully hide its true nature. The changeling is compelled to consume brain matter, and must make Constitution saves (moderate DC) at the end of every ten-day to resist this compulsion. Once more than one sapient race's brains are absorbed, the changeling becomes a true doppleganger.</li>

<ul>
<li>A doppleganger can imitate any race of sapient creature it has seen and encountered. While imitating these creatures it is identical to them in all but statistics.</li>
<li>A doppleganger, using its telepathy, can peer into another creature's mind and memories, imitating any person that that creature has known or thought about. </li>
<li>Consuming a person's brain imbues the doppleganger with the consumed creature's powers. Now, when it imitates that specific person, its stats become identical to that person's stats, <i>provided they're better than its own.</i> This includes hit points, armour class, observed weapons, and class features.</li>
<li>A doppleganger can only use the powers of the creature it is currently imitating. If it's a warrior, it cannot cast spells unless it assumes the form of a spellcaster.</li>
<li>When a doppleganger imitates a creature using weapons, it forms those weapons out of its own flesh. They deal the same damage as those weapons would normally, and have the same tensile strength. Dopplegangers cannot imitate the effects of a magical weapon/armour, but they can perfectly imitate their appearance.</li>
<li>A dropped doppleganger weapon acts as an extension of its body, able to imitate other things of a similar size. A doppleganger can create no more than 4 weapons at a time. When the doppleganger dies, these weapons persist. If they kill and consume the creature who killed their host body, they can reform with all of their memories and abilities intact.</li>
<li>Dopplegangers are immune to charm person, hold person, and sleep spells. They will, however, still make spell saves against them. On a failed save, the doppleganger <i>pretends</i> to be affected by the spell, attempting to fool its enemies.</li>
<li>A doppleganger's gem is worth 2d4 x 75gp</li>
<li>When a doppleganger is bloodied (at half hit points or below) it must make Constitution saves at the beginning of its turn (low DC). If it fails it transforms into a Thing.</li>

<li>A Thing is a monstrosity, capable of three attacks per round, and a fear aura (Spell Save DC equal to the highest level spellcaster whose brains it has consumed, or whichever DC is referenced if you don't know).</li>
<li>When transformed, a Thing immediately gains 8d6 hit points and has resistance to all non-magical weapon damage. It is, however, now vulnerable to fire.</li>
<li>A Thing's attacks are randomly determined. Each attack draws on a creature that it had imitated in life. Attacks with an asterisk can only be used once. If you roll them again, the Thing uses a basic Slam attack (doppleganger stats).</li>
<li>A Thing's gem is worth the same amount as its Doppleganger form's gem, but plus 100gp extra.</li>

Said list was inspired by a similar, but more straight forward, list of questions made by <a href="http://jrients.blogspot.co.nz/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html" target="_blank">Jeff Rients</a>.<br />
<br />
Below are my answers to both. They've been mixed and mashed up together into one big list. You wanna parse them out, you gotta visit their original author's sites, which you should do anyway because they're cool people.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1. Is there weaponized squid?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Yeah. You can get them in the Jagged Bone Islands, along with dinosaur mounts. That place is straight up Monster Hunter.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. What is the deal with my cleric's religion?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
You can worship any deity you can come up with, though he/she/them may not be recognized by ordinary folks, who will lump them in with either the "old gods" or the "new gods", neither of which are thought well of.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3. Is there undead robots?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT1daXIsB5E" target="_blank">Zomborgs.</a> They patrol the corrosion wastes of the Praxis Territories. They have rust monster powers and can only be killed using weapons made of Rowan and Ash in equal measure, or so the old coot dwarves say.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Where can we go to buy standard equipment?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Every town of a 100 souls or more must have an 'item shoppe', where most inventory items can be purchased. Smaller villages make due with travelling tinkers and caravans. The best place to buy supplies is the capitol city of Gran Remiel.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Where is the nearest dragon or monster with type H treasure?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
In Remlia? <strike>The Ice Queen is a monstrous despot who has a tower in the northwest corner of the country, along the shore.</strike> The Ice Queen is dead. Her 'type H' treasure sits unguarded and unclaimed in her tower.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. Any legendary lost treasures I can be searching for?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
The monarchy still offers a sizeable reward to anyone who can recover the lost crown of Ventrix Battlehammer, lost in a ruin deep within the Everwood. It is said to be a coronet with the eyeballs of seven grand medusa inlaid in its band instead of jewels.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. What is the most significant tree to the economy of the starting place?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
A large lemon tree, planted on the small island where Gran Remiel was founded. "...and to mark that sweet moment, our people planted this lemon tree. Lemons being
the sweetest fruit available at the time".<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>8. How much money can I make inventing siege engines?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Innovations in siege warfare technology are greatly rewarded by the monarchy, as titans are becoming a growing threat to the country. Covenants known to reward such inventions are the Lady's Alliance, the Slime Riders, and Red Falcon.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>9. Do icebergs walk across the land?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Not since the age of fire, but few venture far north enough to see the great ice flows anymore. They very well still might.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>10. What do birds know?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Where the worms at.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>11. Where can we go to get plate-mail custom fitted for this monster I just befriended?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Gran Remiel has the best smiths, though Glassbridge is a close second if you're out in the wilds.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>12. Who is the mightiest wizard in the land?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
In Remlia, Headmistress Von Palaque, archmage and elected leader of the Gran Remiel magic college. South of the border, there are seven evil high magister elves who rule the desert nation of Figaro. All of whom are more powerful.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>13. Who is the greatest warrior in the land?</b></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<strike>Tavish Sang. Human warrior, ex-leader of the Remlian army, now the Red Hand of Tiamat.</strike> Tavish Sang was killed on the moon by adventurers. The cult of Tiamat has yet to find a new Red Hand. </div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>14. Does medicine work like it does here but no-one knows CPR or does it work like a cartoon so I cure amnesia with more head injuries or does it work like medieval euro people though it did with demons in your teeth?</b></span><br />
<br />
When in doubt, cartoon rules apply. However, not everyone is aware of this. Especially not those who practice medicine.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>15. I want to play a hobbit but really I'm the fleas controlling the hobbit. Where is that in the book?</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
So friend of the blog Natalie Bennett has applied a ruling that I like to use. "When making a character, you have to be able to explain it to me while keeping a straight face in order to be allowed to play it". This is known as the Bennett Rule. </div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>16. How much could I rent my body out to spirits before I lost control of my character?</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
A human body can hold up to 1d6 spirits at a time. Dwarves 1d4. Elves, tieflings, and other fancy fey races can hold up to 2d12. Half-orcs and halflings can only hold 2, which it's believed is because they have tiny minds. If you go over your allotted limit, the spirits drown out your original personality, and you cease to exist as a person.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Payment for a rented body is typically 6 soul gems a month. Double if the body is considered really hot. </div>

<div>
Port Martel has a famed underground gameosphere, where pirates and lizardfolk do battle for the amusement of garish nobles. Its very Thunderdome.</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>18. Are there any secret societies with sinister agendas I could join and/or fight?</b></span><br />
<br />
Zöströ is a secret cabal of nobles and trade concerns who aim to rid Remlia of its queen, end the divine Battlehammer line, and institute the dreaded practice known as democracy. They are frequently linked with the mercenary company Red Falcon.<br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>19. What is there to eat around here?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
Remlia produces a great deal of pigs (spherical) and cows (cube-shaped). Both of which produce cylindrical haunches of meat held around a single bone. This life restoring meat can also sometimes be found held within the broken walls of dungeons.<br />

<div>
Remlia is currently at war with the southern nation of Figaro, where all the evil elves live. They're also technically still at war with the Dragonborn in the Praxis Territories to the north. Conflicts with the Ice Queen have ended since her death.</div>

One of the city states of Figaro is that. It is ruled by the High Magister Fanfar, Master of Infrastructure. Hail Fanfar, lord of flame.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>30. Where can we go to get some magical healing?</b></span><br />
<br />
The church of light allows all good aligned creatures into its halls to be healed...for a "small" donation of coin and blood.<br />

<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>31. Where can we go to get cures for the following conditions: poison, disease, curse, level drain, lycanthropy, polymorph, alignment change, death, undeath?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Poison/Disease/Curse can be removed in any major church/temple, for a fee.<br />
<br />
Lycanthropy/Polymorph/Undeath require older magics and remedies. Seek the druids of the Everwood.<br />
<br />
Death can be reversed with a Reincarnation ritual. Raise Dead does not currently exist in Generica as it is currently written.<br />
<br />
Alignment is not real. It is an invention of gods to hold mortal beings back. It does not exist.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>32. Can my character not be real , but a hallucination of another character?</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Yes. That said, if you want to play that, its on <i>you</i> to bring the bulk of the rules to the table for it.<br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>33. What cultures approve of cannibalism?</b></span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>34. Can I start with weapon hands?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Catpeople and sometimes Golems start play with claws, which deal short sword damage. If you're playing a character whose hands got chopped off/replaced with/transformed into weapons, you can use it normally but take disadvantage to most charisma-based situations.<br />
<br />
Also, you can't hold kittens/shake hands/masturbate with sword hands. So there's that. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>35. Is there a magic guild my MU belongs to or that I can join in order to get more spells?</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
The magic college of Gran Remiel is the largest collection of non-elven magical knowledge in the country. You can often learn new spells there (plus get your degree in under three years!).<br />
<br />
The only thing approximating a magic guild is the Remlian Mage's Union (local 667), which you need to be registered under before you can legally cast spells in the capitol.<br />

A bard plays at being a rogue, but does not get the benefits of one. A bard has the appeal of a wizard, but with less capacity for spells. A bard fits into the role of a leader, but isn't as adept as a cleric. </span></div>

Other classes aren’t busting out lutes, or using their knowledge of tall tales to gain an advantage. Why not go all in with that concept. So here’s a bard that is defined as being almost 100% support. Instead of being a dabbler in many things, they do one thing, really really well.</span></div>

They add their proficiency bonus to Dexterity saving throws, and have advantage on saves against being charmed or put to sleep. If you’re using an older 5-save system, they save 2 points better than magic-users.</span></div>

They are proficient with all of these 1d4 instruments. They also start play with a thick notebook, an ink pot, and quills. They get to roll 1d4 + 1 times on the ‘Random Trinket’ table.</span></div>

This can take the form of song, chant, playing their instrument, or even just stirring advice. Once per round, as an action (or reaction) the bard can grant an ally within 60 ft of her, that can see or hear her, advantage on an any roll. The bard can also use this to grant disadvantage to an enemy creature’s roll (same distance).</span></div>

While the bard is in the party, everyone earns 10 + level percent more experience (Ex: A 3rd level bard earns herself and her party 13% more experience. If they receive 200xp each, the total is bumped up to 226xp each).</span></div>

This makes them stand out like sore thumbs, but it attracts the attention of the ruling class. The bard starts play with a really ugly, stupid looking hat. While wearing this hat, the bard has advantage on all rolls dealing with nobles or royalty, but they take a -1 penalty to AC from all attacks. </span></div>

This spell can be decided on in the moment, and does not need to be prepared. The spell is played like a song, and only requires a verbal component. Bards are able to cast any spell, from any other class, so long that it is of a level equal to half of your current level, rounded down (Ex: a 4th level bard can cast up to 2nd level spells. At 4th level she has access to 2 spells per day).</span></div>

Their power comes solely from themselves and their collected stories and songs. A custom song can be played once per day as an action, and has a minute duration equal to 1 + your bard level. You can end a custom song as a swift action. Unless otherwise stated, you are immune to the effects of your custom song. When you first receive a custom song, roll on the tables below: a d4, a d8, a d10, and another d12. With each result combined you should have your custom song’s title, tone, and effect. </span></div>

If this feels too infrequent at the table, GM's are encouraged to adjust as they see fit. GM's are also encouraged to expand the Custom Song table with new names, effects, and tones as the game progresses; crossing off taken entries and writing in new ones.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many witches believe that black puddings carry the ability to absorb and amplify emotions. If kept in a space where negative emotions are abundant, black puddings will grow bigger and faster. A negatively charged black pudding causes the creatures it surrounds to be more aggressive, violent, and foul-tempered. Positive emotions cause the opposite to be true. Very rich witches keep underground rivers of black puddings, channelling their emotional energy. </span><br />

The white elves were her magnum opus; a pitiless mortal creature that lived for centuries, needed neither rest nor food, and took pleasure only in conquest and victory. </span></div>

To see such a beautiful race as these white elves be unable to enjoy such joys made him sad. “I know better than Ulaa, with that great stick up her ass,” Gastromar said to himself, “I will make a gift of my enjoyments to these pitiable elves”.</span></div>

The white elves took and shared this food with one another. They ate and grew full, knowing hunger and desire for the first time. Gastromar was pleased. </span></div>

They turned on their fellow white elves and ripped them apart. They feasted on each other's skin and muscle. Their hunger for flesh could not be sated.

Slimes are the ooze embodiment of childlike beings; happy, curious, playful, and unaware of the damage they can cause.</span></div>

They can engulf creatures, and will dissolve the metal off of their bodies in 1d4 rounds. Their digestive acids cannot eat through flesh, however. </span></div>

When an ooze begins to devour a deer, moose, fawn, centaur, or horse, sometimes the ooze portion will affix itself to the creature’s body, fashioning itself into a humanoid shape. </span></div>

In actuality, it is a cursed succubus doomed to be eternally dissolved and reformed within a gelatinous cube; leaving only her silvered skeleton suspended within the ooze. Killing the ooze frees the succubus, who regrows her flesh. </span></div>

The ooze knight was a former paladin who was devoured by an ooze. His faith was so strong that he retained his memories and purpose, now seeking to challenge others it happens upon.</span></div>

It disguises itself as a dessert, served at noble functions and banquets. Once eaten, it persists inside of its victim’s body, subtly altering their personality and taking over their mind. When the pudding lord is threatened, it violently erupts from the victim’s body and attacks. </span></li>

Young men and women earnestly pledging themselves to disastrously unsafe work with no combat or spelunking experience; killed by monsters or traps or worse. Almost an entire generation was lost to the allure of adventuring life. What the depths didn’t kill, the transition back to ordinary life surely did. The few who returned with riches tended to spend the them too quickly. Drink, vices, and pleasurable company became all these broken people would concern themselves with. They had witnessed the horrors of the deep places of the world. Returning to agriculture or clerical duties did little to sooth their jangled nerves. </span></div>

They appear human, or elven, or halfling, but have none of the internal racial traits of them. While they are considered alive, they are said to be “without souls”; they lack the essential spark of personhood. Essentially a blank slate of a creature, they operate according to the following information:</span></div>

They require coinage or treasure to do so. Money is presented to them with the instruction of what they need to be better at. The pawn takes the money, ingests it (either via eating or osmosis), and is instantly upgraded. </span></div>

It must have the wealth presented and given to them. It cannot take it of its own volition. Also, not all types of treasure are accepted. A Pawn will gladly accept coins, jewels, treasured items, and other easily frangible items, but is pickier about art objects, trade materials, and livestock. A Pawn cannot be paid in weapons or armour. It must be directly equivalent to currency. </span></div>

<ul style="line-height: 1.15;">
<li><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can learn spells from any d20-based fantasy game.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wizards start play with 2d6 + wizard level spell dice in their Spell Dice Pool.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Any number of spell dice may be used to cast a spell. Casting a spell successfully requires rolling 6 + the spell's level or higher. Any die that comes up 1 is removed from the pool. All spell dice are recovered following a long rest.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you roll snake eyes (three or more 1’s) your spell is a catastrophe and backfires on you, dealing damage or ill-effects to you and your party (see table below). Even if the total of the dice rolled equals or beats the spell's success number, it still backfires.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you roll boxcars (two or more 6’s) your spell is overpowered, doubling the damage and/or effect. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you roll a smash (all 6's) your spell tears open the fabric of reality to bestow a helpful boon on you (see table below).</span></span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 1.15; text-indent: 36pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A wizard can also resort to using their life energy to power spells. You can expend your hit dice and add them to your Spell Dice total for the day, provided you have hit dice to spend. Once a hit dice is rolled to cast a spell, it is considered spent and cannot be rolled again that day, even if the spell is a success. 1's rolled with Hit Dice do not count toward rolling snake eyes. You can add your hit dice to your Spell Dice total as a swift action.</span></span></li>

<span style="line-height: 17.25px; text-indent: 48px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Akko is pretty sure she can take the bugbear, so she rolls 2 of her 5 spell dice. She gets a 5 and a 4. Success! She casts the acid arrow, rolling damage as she normally would. She gets both spell dice back in her dice pool. </span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 17.25px; text-indent: 48px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, Akko wants to finish the job with Flaming Sphere, another second level spell. This time she rolls all 5 of her spell dice, wanting to ensure a success. She rolls three 1's, a 4, and a 2. Snake eyes. Akko immediately rolls on the spell catastrophe table and gets a 2. The spell backfires on her and she is burnt to a crisp.</span></span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also play a </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Catperson</b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Catpeople are statistically identical to Elves, and have two subraces: </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Furry</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nekomimi</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Furry catpeople look like the Khajit from Elder Scrolls and get a +1 to Dex. Nekomimi Catpeople look like anime catgirls and get a +1 to Cha. Both subraces have prehensile tails.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can also play a </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Golem</b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Golems are a simplified version of Warforged from Eberron, and have two subraces: </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Small Golems</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (halfling sized) and </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tall Golems </i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(human sized). The only difference is their height, size, and speeds. </span><a href="http://keith-baker.com/extra-life-hacking-the-warforged/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Until an official version of the Warforged is released, Golems statistically work like this. </a></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you're dead set on playing something different, be sure to ask about it ahead of time. Chances are I'll be cool with it. </span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. Classes, backgrounds, skills, equipment, and starting gold are in the image above. Other class alternatives are below:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://howlbearsmovingcastle.blogspot.ca/2014/11/bards-in-generica.html" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">There is a custom version of the <b>Generica Bard</b> available.</a></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alice</b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (made by Zak S.). </span><a href="http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.ca/2013/01/the-alice-pc-class-for-any-kind-of-d.html" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">Click here to see how the Alice shakes out. </a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The only differences are that an Alice accumulates Hit Points and Hit Dice like 5e wizards do. They start out with the same number of skills, armour proficiencies, and weapon proficiencies that rogues do. They add their proficiency bonus to Dexterity and Charisma checks.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. <b>No feats. </b>Unless you're coming from a game that allows them, they don't get used in Generica.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. <b>Racial Considerations:</b> Generica, like a lot of Flailsnails settings, mixes things up when it comes to fantasy species tropes. The setting differences (so far) are as follows.</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">High elves are almost all evil decadent magical slavers (Think <i>Dark Sun</i>). You can play one, but locals will hate you. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Halflings were once slaves to humans, working the fields of Remlia. Even now they're often relegated to agrarian lifestyles. Some still harbour deep resentment to humans.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dragonborn are foreign and are still at war with the people of Remlia. They are seldom trusted.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. <b>Clerics and Paladins:</b> Any deity you make up can feasibly fit in Generica as a setting. However clerics are often treated as outsiders, and few standardized temples/churches exist anymore. Some unique gods include <b>Lord of Light</b>: Baroque Catholic-like god of light, fire, and order, few clerics but many paladins, <b>Yondahla:</b> Goddess of the wilderness and forests, looks like the Forest Spirit from Princess Mononoke, <b>Crom & Agro:</b> Riddle of Steel god and his giant horse, worshipped by dwarves, very heavy metal, <b>Syrinx:</b> ascended lord of high elves, endorses slavery, god of magic, has 13 holy temples in Figaro, <b>Lolth:</b> Spider goddess of trickery, decadence, and fertility. Worshipped by monsters, witches, drow.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. <b>Wizards:</b> Instead of using the standard Daily Spell Slot system, you can opt to use <b>Spell Dice</b>. This mechanic ensures that, so long as you keep rolling well, you almost never run out of spells. <a href="http://howlbearsmovingcastle.blogspot.ca/2014/10/using-spell-dice.html" target="_blank">Click here to see how Spell Dice work.</a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. <b>Flailsnails PC’s in Generica:</b><br /><br />Generica is a system designed for fifth edition D&D characters, who come loaded to bear with all kinds of features and options and cantrips and junk. That said, Flailsnails PC’s are a devious and cunning lot who’ve passed through the crucible of some of the most strange, bizarre, and unforgiving campaign settings ever made (Vornheim, Wessex, Wampus Country, Nightwick Abbey, Ithar, Hill Cantons, Barovania, Akenia, etc). So here’s the rules regarding their passage into Generica:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Firearms and magic items are permitted. All work as their original system describes. However, it’s your responsibility as a player to have those rules available and ready to share with the GM if asked. Otherwise, their effects, random quirks, and rates of failure or mishap are up to the GM.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spells native to your setting work, but have a chance of going wrong or weird in the world of Generica. Any time you use a spell not native to fifth edition you must roll on a random spell effect table (Table chosen by the GM, to be made public soon). The only exception is spells from Dungeon Crawl Classics; those are already weird and misfire-y.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All other conventions fall in line with the Flailsnails Convention articles passed down from Jeff Reints, Zak S, Calithena, and others. <a href="http://jrients.blogspot.ca/2011/08/flailsnails-conventions.html">Articles available HERE.</a> This includes leveling up/experience points and high-level PC handicapping.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Stat Adjustments for Flailsnails PC’s:</b><br /><br />These adjustments are designed for ease of use for the Game Master above all else. It can be hard enough running an adventure or session without having to juggle several game systems’ mechanics at once. Adhering to these adjustments is <b>GREATLY APPRECIATED</b>, and may be met with Inspiration as the game progresses. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Your character has Hit Dice.</b> This is a mid-game healing mechanic from fifth edition. Every class has a number of hit dice equal to their level (A 3rd level fighter has 3d10 hit dice). They can be spent during a short rest (1 hour) to bump your hit points back up. </span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Barbarians, Dwarves = d12</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fighters, Paladins, Rangers = d10</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wizards, Sorcerers, Halflings, Alices = d6</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All others = d8</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Ascending armour class.</b> Generica uses ascending rolls for everything, but ‘to hit’ rolls are most important. If your character has descending armour class, you can convert it pretty quickly by subtracting your AC value from 20. So a descending AC of 4 is an ascending AC of 16. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Non-unique items.</b> Some games handle things like shields, plate mail, crossbow reloading, and polearms differently. All these items and their bonuses/drawbacks conform to fifth edition rules in Generica, unless otherwise stated by the GM.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a handy rules reference to use during play:</span></div>

Drow do not have dark obsidian coloured skin naturally. In their natural lightless habitat, drow skin is translucent and white, not unlike that of a pale grub.</span><br />

Upon coming in contact with sunlight, underdark clothing evaporates from the radiation, and drow skin blisters and turns black. Pigment floods their skin in tremendous amounts in order to cope with sunlight. Surface drow are literally sunburned black. </span><br />

Their origin is thought to date back to over a thousand years ago to the betrayal and death of the Elven god-magician Syrinx. His final words “...and the meek shall inherit the earth” were thought to be a warning against weakness.</span><br />

While recorded history states they were entombed with him in order to ‘pleasure his god-soul into a new greater form’, many escaped elven slaves believe that these concubines were buried with his body as punishment for his suspected murder. No one knows for sure. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lolth’s commandments are few.

What are they? Ask any ten average Remlians and they’ll give you ten different answers. They’ll tell you about ruined crops and stolen treasure. They’ll say they’ve got pig faces or pointy ears. They’ll mention mischief and murder, but only second hand. Nobody’s seen or caught a goblin in almost fifty years. They’re nothing but fairy stories now; things Minimin mothers tell their little halfling children to scare them into eating their vegetables. I’d wager the only person who’s got any hard facts is ol’ Saul Spidermin; that old duff who figured out that dragons eat tree bark.

They build no shelters or cities of their own, preferring instead to prop themselves up as the leaders of grander buildings abandoned by the taller races. Someone else must have lived in it before to make it suitable for a goblin infestation.</span><br />

In colder regions they’ll freeze to death unless exposed to a group of taller creatures wearing warmer clothing, which they’ll then steal and wear. Goblins who murder a party of elves tend to adopt more elegant and regal bearings, while tribes of goblins who exist near a magic college will be all batty and experimental, doing their best to make spells happen.</span><br />

Within 1 hour of the Goblin King’s death, any goblin that witnessed the death and volunteers to it is transformed into the new Goblin King. How the other goblins of the tribe/band react to this is largely based on their feelings towards that goblin before the transformation. That said, they are still inclined to obey their King, because that’s what other cultures typically do. </span><br />

They are to goblins what humans are to chimpanzees. It is possible for a goblin to “evolve” into a hobgoblin if it gains enough experience points. They are expert imitators, believed to be descended from those who killed and imitated whole tribes of human and dwarven warlords. Many goblins believe that if two goblins stand on each other’s shoulders long enough, they’ll become a hobgoblin. </span><br />

<br />
I needed a quick place to start an adventure. So I repurposed an old map I'd made a year ago, rolled some new random encounters, and got to brainstorming. This was the result:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikztQHOPHsOX1En91A7ygs0U0D-BcBHQC-8l-oOp4X_eLeE3MTIm_74fxC1T586duBBOe1LqMd8euGHi6bkPXzEG3wpLFcaLXd7k4QtlVhZqc1sZH9EHOJ0aHxk1M5aL27poMS8rFfUM0/s1600/the_pit_map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikztQHOPHsOX1En91A7ygs0U0D-BcBHQC-8l-oOp4X_eLeE3MTIm_74fxC1T586duBBOe1LqMd8euGHi6bkPXzEG3wpLFcaLXd7k4QtlVhZqc1sZH9EHOJ0aHxk1M5aL27poMS8rFfUM0/s1600/the_pit_map.jpg" height="246" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"You wake up in a dungeon..."</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Once the players escaped, they needed places to go. I needed a map. So over espresso at Starbucks, I scribbled the following:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp3xg8QiE-pSZB1EZJmF4t8fJS9wGeA0uiBO0cg4M5fygVCIMjDZpyp59-GCHcUjNBxMFxrcL7shYgInUyme9kmgNaMNHX6eYDfGVq-XldU2UWeEIRkXW73317K179fIT7uDIzbHJAZ08/s1600/original_generica_map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp3xg8QiE-pSZB1EZJmF4t8fJS9wGeA0uiBO0cg4M5fygVCIMjDZpyp59-GCHcUjNBxMFxrcL7shYgInUyme9kmgNaMNHX6eYDfGVq-XldU2UWeEIRkXW73317K179fIT7uDIzbHJAZ08/s1600/original_generica_map.jpg" height="320" width="228" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Masterful cartography.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Now that I had some countries, I had to pick one. I chose Remlia, and got to naming its possible cities. Originally it was supposed to be the size of Washington state.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAju0Dz59GS7yqXAVOrX22FSlAv2-wqGXb0V1WcurljgM6Pr7mMVqhXapAwS_0zaXjKyIRVXHzZhyphenhyphen1n6YRKw5cgIdKjc8anGLSWvuigFBFuticqz15HJYGW82SeAGgiUwfhkeJ9oSI0AY/s1600/original_remlia_map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAju0Dz59GS7yqXAVOrX22FSlAv2-wqGXb0V1WcurljgM6Pr7mMVqhXapAwS_0zaXjKyIRVXHzZhyphenhyphen1n6YRKw5cgIdKjc8anGLSWvuigFBFuticqz15HJYGW82SeAGgiUwfhkeJ9oSI0AY/s1600/original_remlia_map.jpg" height="320" width="244" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You can tell its good because it's got an city on an island inside a lake.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Of course, now that I had an idea of what it looked like I needed to do it up all nice and fancy in Photoshop. My home game players wouldn't accept anything less.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhowgdHK7IUaJRKpCT8hGAP2bYfZbRIZJczlH2D_OPInSh5Bdny7ENAYxt1d9qSNh4T59AV4bjjCn1i1vy2vNjM5yCeD7QNb41SHMC5mMz-PnCJVCzLhUBvUpkEu4SDTtlCOnjOctURMR0/s1600/remlia_map.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhowgdHK7IUaJRKpCT8hGAP2bYfZbRIZJczlH2D_OPInSh5Bdny7ENAYxt1d9qSNh4T59AV4bjjCn1i1vy2vNjM5yCeD7QNb41SHMC5mMz-PnCJVCzLhUBvUpkEu4SDTtlCOnjOctURMR0/s1600/remlia_map.jpg" height="308" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Doing my best to ape the style of Mike Schley.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
And so I've been using the country of Remlia in my games for over a year now. In that time it has seen a magical winter, an assassination attempt on the Princess Regent, a dragon "attack" on Greenbarrow, an invasion from southern elves of Figaro, Elfheim captured, the eruption of a giant robot from beneath Gran Remiel, and the rise and fall of the Ice Queen (crushed to death by the giant robot, naturally).<br />
<br />
Now that my campaign world has expanded to include three groups, I felt the need to redo the map once more, filling in some gaps along the way.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Very Skyrim in its stylings.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I've lived with this campaign world in my head and in several notebooks for over a year now. This blog is devoted to writing it all down and keeping track of its many dungeons, locations, house rules, NPC's, random tables, and other setting tidbits.<br />
