Filth Pig's Setting Questions

 My own personal setting questions.


1. Is there Blood Magic? Necromancy? Can I start off with these powers or do I have to get them d-d-d-diegetically? Will these things get me hanged/drawn, quartered and burned over water/tortured/burned at the stake? Is your Necromancer working off the "divination from the dead" definition or is it cool?

2. Will my limbs get hacked off? Can I get new limbs? Do they have to be human or can I have monster parts? Is there a class that does all this or is it just an NPC?

3. When was the last plague in the setting and how soon can we expect the next one? Can we swindle people by selling fake plague cures? 

4. Cannibalism gives you: A) Kuru, B) Magical Powers, C) Full stomach, D) Yet Another Unexpected Twist ?

5. What's can't I do that isn't super obvious?


1. Yes. Yes. You can start with Necromancy, but you have to discover Blood Magic on your own and d-d-d-digetically. People might turn a blind eye to Necromancy if you give them good reason to, but Blood Magic is gettin' you clapped, time now. I'm more interested in Necromancy than my players are, so currently Necromancer/y hasn't been implemented into the home game yet, but it's much more than divination.

2. Yes! Yes! Monster parts is cool, but you're going to have to work for them. It's going to be costly, you'll need to take the Fleshcrafter with you to the lair of the beast so he has the freshest possible specimen to work with. There's definitely a Fleshcrafter class in the making.

3. Fuckin' ON-GOING! Coming to a city near you! Absolutely! 

4. Cannibalism definitely fills you up - cannibal "rations" are basically double so more bang for your buck and you definitely gain some powers from cannibalizing people, but it has to be the right people.

5. Honestly, I don't know that I have an answer for this one and am most looking forward to what other people say about it.

GL∆G Necromancer

With special thanks to Nickorish and Random Interrupt who helped get me over the Corpse Explosion hump by writing those two entries for me. Go check out their stuff, I'm sure they've been at this much longer than me and they've got plenty of good stuff to read! What do the peasants call you? Roll once on each table. 1D8 Death Grave Corpse Barrow Tomb Cadaver Putrefaction Decay 1D8 Touched Sworn Priest King Child Slave Preceptor Maid A Necromancer is not made, but born through trauma. You cannot learn to be a Necromancer, it is a mantle earned through grief, suffering and hopelessness. You can be taught how to cope with the curse, but it is just that - a curse, not an occupation to be selected from an ancient tome and studied in a musty tower. Things that might thrust you headlong into the dark arts of the grave: 1. Surviving a mass murder event 2. Dying and being resurrected against your will 3. Momentous grief 4. Surviving the Deadlights 5. Being made a Liche’s thrall 6.

GLOG: Justiciar

 You're the closest thing anyone in this god forsaken hellscape is going to get to a fair trial. You travel the land settling disputes. It's your duty to right wrongs and make sure good prevails, but what's a little slip up here and there? A little corruption, as a treat. Have your player think of 3 to 5 acts that should be punishable by death, these will be the [Crimes] referred to later. Justiciar Starting Equipment : Your Burden, an impractical weapon or tool that is the symbol of your office of Justiciar. Roll on the table below or come up with your own, the weirder the better. Burden Massive zweihander with a shattered blade, still long enough to call a shortsword, clearly made for a giant. Strangely preserved corpse, pale and cold to the touch, doesn’t seem any worse for the wear after its use as a bludgeoning weapon. Spinal column and severed head of a corpse, head is grizzly, column remarkably clean and held together by wire. A tree stump, dragged by a large twistin

Anomalous Media

 1. Suicide Tape - An .mp4, a man holds a camera and spins around in a circle. He's in the center of a small corn field crop circle. The video goes ass over elbows as the man attaches the camera to a selfie stick. This time the video shows the man, once again he spins in a circle and remains alone in the field. As he twirls he says "My name is Alexander Howard Thatch... and I do this of my own free will" before he violently rips open his left forearm with a razor blade. The selfie stick drops from his hand, moments later the man falls and slowly bleeds to death. In his last moments, he tries to speak. His last words are hotly debated in certain circles, but the most supported interpretation is "Cunning fortune buddy". 2. Price List  - A screen shot of a text message. Looks to be a fairly standard list of performance enhancing drugs and post cycle therapy drugs with reasonable prices, however, one entry stands out; "Adrenochrome; 15F, 200cc - $975" 3. I
