I've made some illustrated tables for my space fantasy MM hack.

I've made some illustrated tables for my space fantasy MM hack. This one is based on Evlyn M's idea about belief. The actual table is in the back.

The religion document. This is weapons-grade self indulgence. I may even make it longer. The D20 table is in the back.

One thing I learned from Macchiato Monsters chargen Friday is the steps are out of order in the text.

One thing I learned from Macchiato Monsters chargen Friday is the steps are out of order in the text. If you're going to roll random equipment, and stats are rolled with just a small choice of swapping two, you can't do the stats first, then traits and stuff before equipment or you get a mess. You need to roll equipment first and then stats and only then do the other things that are choices so the character can be a more coherent reflection of the stuff you rolled randomly.

Descent into Wonder


Descent into Wonder

Galspaar XCVII, Emperor of the Kosmos is deathly ill. Physics, healers, herbalists and chancers have flocked to the Imperial bedside, and have determined that only one remedy has any chance of saving His life is the seed of the sanctuary blossom. Fortunately such a plant grows nearby. Unfortunately it grows in the Oubliette of Implacable Enemies.

In the hazy past Kosmic Empress Gaile II had this place built. It took the greatest architects to conceive of it, the greatest adventurers to find the raw materials for it, and the greatest wizards to secure it. This was not to be a simple prison for thieves and racketeers, but a place where near-existential threats could be locked away forever. Here the Navigator Pox runs its course in a pit where time has been made to hesitate. Here the autarchic animists sing to their cages. And here grows the last known sanctuary blossoms, imprisoning the last Sanguisuge Titan.

This is where our heroes come in. They are not mighty champions or powerful arch-mystics. They are outsiders, rogues, spell-grinders and followers of disreputable gods. If they are killed, infected or subverted in the Oubliette, they will not be missed, or be much of a threat.

Descent into Wonder is a space fantasy dungeon crawl for 1st level characters. I think it will span 2-4 sessions, and it will be online. It uses the newest version of the Macchiato Monsters rules. Let me know if you're interested.
