Nothic's Eye Questions

 Answering the questions Nothic's Eye wrote.

 

  1. Which specific NPC do I want to piss off the least? 
    • Slaugh, the young witch who leads the coterie of Wild Hunt esque Fae.
  1. Which god should I want to piss off the most? 
    • We haven't gotten into gods too much yet, but whoever the largest religion is - I just assume if they're the dominant religion they're kind of assholes and you're going to want to spite them every chance you get.
  2. What's the worst thing I could meet at a crossroads? 
    • An incomprehensibly old Fae creature that feeds on guilt and shame and will burrow into your mind like a tape worm until your lived experiences ring hollow?
  3. What's the nearest thing that can utterly destroy me to your starting town? Or starting town equivalent?
    • Everything. Dark Souls - if a 1 HD creature can't kill you then the game is lame.
  4. Is apotheosis open to my character? If not, why not? 
    • Definitely, just have to earn it d-d-d-diegetically! Find your niche, gather yourself a small following, fight other would be gods, over throw them, gain more power by undermining the belief the rival gods followers had in them - that sort of thing.
  5. Do people in your world have souls? Why? 
    • Yes. Selling your soul is one of my favorite tropes. Plus, super evil magic definitely needs souls fueling it, and if it doesn't then it definitely corrupts your soul.
  6. Does jazz exist in your setting yet? Can I invent it and not be stoned to death? 
    • I hadn't thought about it, but sure go for it.
  7. What's the weirdest country/polity/region/area on your map? 
    • Planning on a House of 1,000 Corpses meets Dr. Seuss forest, so hopefully that. 
  8. Do guns exist yet? If they do, is there anything making them weird/different?
    • No, guns are not my jam. Maybe one day my setting will be invaded by aliens, but instead of greens or grays it'll just be white Republicans with guns.
  9. Is there a divide between mundane/magical animals? 
    • Yes, but any animal could become a magical animal and close that divide through spell work, faith, drinking the wrong mysterious liquid, accomplishing something especially grand, etc.

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.

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

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
