According to the deep introduction into the book; "This manual is a collection of longgone infamous character classes meant for chaotic campaigns where the player characters feature as anti-heroes and even villains rather than guardians. Out of the thirteen classes presented here, a grand total of five allow for neutral characters, and none of them for Lawful ones bar rare exceptions allowed at the referee’s discretion"  And it plugs into the classic versions of B/X versions of the world's most popular fantasy game. <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/484596/oh-my-lost-darklords"> Oh My Lost Darklords</a>  highlights the evil optional PC's. 'Oh My Lost Darklords' plugs right into the original OSE rpg & OSE Advanced  rpg system. <br />We get new player characters such as the Avenger, Cultist,Bandit,Bounty Hunter, Dark Mage, Death Knight, Demonist, Witch, Houri, Jester, Red Wizard,  Duelist, & Dark Creeper!  And  <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/484596/oh-my-lost-darklords"> Oh My Lost Darklords</a>  is well laid out, solid artwork throughout and brings the hotness for B/X. </span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">B/X gets the perfect upgrade in the form of  'Oh My Lost Darklords' & hits on several levels. We get variations on the familar PC's and hits the optional villain NPC classes button.  Veteran readers of old Dragon magazine issues will recognize these PC classes but they've been updated for OSE essentially. <br />These classes also give the players options for a wide range of PC options at the table top levels.  <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/484596/oh-my-lost-darklords"> Oh My Lost Darklords</a> works as a fantastic supplement for OSE. It breaks down these classes & is a solid ulitity piece for B/X! </span><p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/osr-review-commentary-on-oh-my-lost.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/osr-review-commentary-on-oh-my-lost.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-06-30T17:39:00-07:00'>5:39 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/osr-review-commentary-on-oh-my-lost.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7073461301334977592&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7073461301334977592&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7073461301334977592&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

This includes adventure construction, campaign encounters, major battles, and more. And because it's wholly compatible with other Night Owl Workshop games & other  OSR games this makes a campaign easy to construct. Just add in players. <br />Clocking in at 128 pages long Gunslinger is as much tool kit as role playing game complete with campaign city and Old West campaign world.

His meditations, as he walked homeward that evening, had been splendidly replete with the shining of costly metals, with coins and ingots and gold-work and argentry, and the flaming or sparkling of many-tinted gems in rills, rivers and cascades, all flowing toward the coffers of Avoosl Wuthoqquan.

And one of Clark's best tales </span><a href="http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/short-stories/243" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none;">Weird of Avoosl Wuthoqquan, The</a><span style="background-color: white;"> (1932) & how it could relate to the Hyperborea rpg. The implication in the tale is that the doomed money lender is very much a part of the cycle of destruction of Hyperborea that the rest of the tale's cycle covers. We get a guided tour of the hot volcanic & humid jungles of Hyperborea. And the implication is that fool's doom is sealed outside of the borders of Commorium. </span><br /><span style="background-color: white;">Hyperborea is the seat of far older species then humans and this of course is the realm of the Great Old One Tsathoggua. Because this is exactly the sort of entity that Avoosl Wuthoqquanruns into and meets his doom with. <br /></span><span style="background-color: white;">And it begs the question, did the Hyperboreans who settled within the borders of Hyperborea during the </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">Miocene times on purpose? Simply take over a rich & fertile  area that had been the home of elder entities that was now at the end of it's cycle? Or did the gods plan Hyperborea as a part of a grander cosmic cycle?And where does this leave adventurers if the Hyperboreans fled thier old world of Hyperborea?<br />Is the gateway of Sarnath actually a gate back to the frozen waste lands of Hyperborea now guarded by demons of  the Great Old One Tsathoggua & far worse entities? The frozen wastes could hold incredible riches that are claimed by the frozen monsters and horrors that hold them. <br />And this is the realm of the White Worm and it's pethora of horrors. These places could hold occult secrets and spells from the heyday of Hyperborea. This is a place rife with adventure possibilities. </span></span></p></div></li><li style="border: none; list-style-type: none; margin: 0.5em 1em; padding: 0.25em 0px;"><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yNp1xYdsZE20D9U2a4TxbNocTE5YGeZqTW0D4c3u284qtvXNbFSZpxlwdOWcVCA-RaAazc1DWFAc-F1Ovq2wyryDdyCFS-9doq0nhO1qCBRg9V3um9a5fPN53LHoMHPsB7Ugmc1V7dDTeFMPBCzrgQWT0m77kiNyNm79_qBFGSz8f-SW3Mc5EupU4bk/s426/Hyperborea-map.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="426" data-original-width="233" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0yNp1xYdsZE20D9U2a4TxbNocTE5YGeZqTW0D4c3u284qtvXNbFSZpxlwdOWcVCA-RaAazc1DWFAc-F1Ovq2wyryDdyCFS-9doq0nhO1qCBRg9V3um9a5fPN53LHoMHPsB7Ugmc1V7dDTeFMPBCzrgQWT0m77kiNyNm79_qBFGSz8f-SW3Mc5EupU4bk/w219-h400/Hyperborea-map.gif" width="219" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Hyperborean wastland corrisponds to the ancient map of Hyperborea.

And it depends on the craziness of the hunters to go after the biggest game. <br />Seldom talked about is the type of biological arms race that would result as soon as bioroid and clones came into being. <br />We get the barest hint of this in the original Bladerunner film. The Nexus Six replicants are only the latest batch of combat androids. <br />We know that the Bladerunners are those who hunt down such androids. What of the independant contractors and mercenaries. And this is where I loop around to Zaibatsu because only ex gansters and gangers are going to be crazy enough to go after the money that corporate is paying to go after androids, clones, and replicants. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Here's a thought though. What if the corporations are forstering the type of an atmosphere where clone bounty hunting is legal. Why? To product test thier latest combat androids and replicants.<br />Of course in the world of Hostile and Zaibatsu this is all merely street & corporate conspiracy theory even though there are those in the know who have proved it!  </span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;

The kill kittens are an ancient form of biological weapons system that has reproduced thousands of times over. The originators of this species of vicious mimic animal are lost to history. <br />The kill kitten has two very advanced tactics in it's arsenal of tricks & traps behaviors. The animal is a dedicated pack hunter who prays on human sized prey with advanced nerotoxin cocktails as a part of the glands that surround it's fangs & claws. Secondly, the 'kill kittens' are fantastic mimics who imitate normal cats and kittens hijinks and behaviors. <br />These monsters are incredibly cunning and resourceful hunters with common packs of five to sixteen easily taking down a full grown human male in less then 2 minutes. The neurotoxin cocktail is designed to cause insanity and beserk rages as the prey experiences extreme pain as the poison ravages thier nervous system. The prey is driven into a beserk rage for 1d4 days making the prey vulnerable to further attack. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh62f_6uX5eX0SIWIjTrL0FEecXZisTyWZ-KGTbZOs9OcdBZIcQ45smmwMPfgTNt3RN6WKhjpv-Ol40cmHA7w0Tu5Uspwx46iNL5j-eXvT9s9jwlZZMhM9hhIq881Tjr7ukMwktarEjnweGwsa_R2g9J8d5HjSoeG5sEwiSEvw812R7rMvqVC-ERjiIs5I" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="299" data-original-width="400" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh62f_6uX5eX0SIWIjTrL0FEecXZisTyWZ-KGTbZOs9OcdBZIcQ45smmwMPfgTNt3RN6WKhjpv-Ol40cmHA7w0Tu5Uspwx46iNL5j-eXvT9s9jwlZZMhM9hhIq881Tjr7ukMwktarEjnweGwsa_R2g9J8d5HjSoeG5sEwiSEvw812R7rMvqVC-ERjiIs5I=w470-h478" width="470" /></a></div><span style="text-align: center;">("Kill Kittens" art by Greg Espinoza used without permission. <br /><br /></span></span></span><div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="text-align: center;">The rumor is that kill kittens were designed by the Elves during the Human/Elven wars thousands of years ago. These creatures bare the hallmarks of occult and magical tampering on a biological level. The Elven nations  deny any such wrong doing but there are the hallmarks of Elven biological chimeral weaponization techiques. These characteristics include the incredibly cute mimic behavior that marks these incredibly dangerous pack hunters. <br />Other hallmarks includes the line of sight teleportation that these monsters use to pounce on thier prey seemingly from nowhere. This magically fueled hunting trick is especially good for taking nice juicy hobbits a favorite of the little monsters.

Packs of kill kittens use advanced scouts as decoys which often mimic acting hurt or injured behaviors to attract kind hearted fools who become prey for the entire pack. The kill can feed a pack for almost a month making thier murderous behavior hard to detect. <br />The claws of a kill kitten are almost iron hard made of a hollow chiten that regrows over time with use as they shed the outer sheath. The muscle structure of a kill kitten is more akin to a lion or dire cat species. They have bite force ten times that of a lion relative to thier size. </div>The kill kitten is sentient but not intelligent in the usual sense. Thier minds are cruel and centered on hunting, torture, reproduction, and expansion of the species. These creatures are unnatural hunters with minds twisted to evil and cruelty. Again there is the fact that many consider that these tendencies are because of an artificial biological weapon origin. <br />The kill kitten has come to be regarded as a monster of legend but this has allowed the monsters to expand dimensional beyond the shores of Arduin. And over the last  two hundred years thier numbers have increased to become a menace of horror & violence. <br /><br /></span></span></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/ecology-of-bloody-arduins-kill-kitten.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/ecology-of-bloody-arduins-kill-kitten.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-06-24T20:10:00-07:00'>8:10 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/ecology-of-bloody-arduins-kill-kitten.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=9182652644342941017&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=9182652644342941017&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=9182652644342941017&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

We quickly get the beast to the truck & replace everything back the way it was. <br />And we catch sight of a group of wispy ghosts like figures following Arthur back to the truck. The ghosts of Arthur's past victims have arisen to follow him from the Grey Limbo of the Beyond! We drive quickly back to the L-O Ranch and our shaman prepares to go into battle with these ghosts. They have no intention of letting Arthur roam the Earth to add to thier count. <br />We are in desparate need of supernatural muscle however and our shaman Paulo goes to meet with them on the Astral. And this is where things get weird as the usual protections don't work and the entire party is drawn into the dream like astral world of World War I Europe. We experience Arthur's life from his victim's perspective. And we meet the ghosts of his victims on thier home turf. His victims are mostly German soldiers however and the party quickly gets the upper hand because it's soon going to be war again. <br />The ghosts are put too rest with the asurance that Arthur will be put back into the grave as soon as the mission of war is over with. And there's the lingering smell of blood in the air. Arthur is a gibbering mess as the ghosts get in one last moment of torture within the poor fool's mind. </span></div></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br /></span><p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/wolf-in-fold-wretched-darkness-session.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/wolf-in-fold-wretched-darkness-session.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-06-23T22:59:00-07:00'>10:59 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/wolf-in-fold-wretched-darkness-session.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7388185083890799737&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7388185083890799737&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7388185083890799737&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Cepheus Engine Journal is one of the most unsung supplement for the CE Rpg. And this isssue covers the gamit for our favorite 2d6 Science Fiction rpg! The From the Editors is a peek into this issue's contents and then it's a jump straight into the deep end. Ricardo Emilio gives a great article called 'How Space Ships Work' & it gets straight into the nitty gritty of star ships within his own campaigns. It's some solid reading actually. And Ricardo Emilio also gives us 'The Solid Air Generator' which can act as a sort of force field for your valuables and much more. <br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #202020; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Jo Jaquinta</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;"> gives us 'The Raider's Lament part 10'  & we get more indepth on the world & themes setting of 'Raider's' this chapter. <br /></span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #202020; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Steve Attwood</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020;"> from </span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #202020; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alegis Downport </span><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #202020; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">gives us 'Science Fiction In Rider' which is a really solid article on using Independence Games Rider with your favorite 2d6 Science Fiction rpg.

We get everything from origins to current practices of the 'Silver Panthers' so the organization can be used whole cloth within your campaigns. <br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Ricardo Emilio gives us the 'Atomic Joiner' a nifty little device that can be used as a tech level fifteen device or artifact in your campaigns. <br />Brett Cruger gives a rather nasty little alien creature in the form of the Scale Back Dragons. And 'Into The Night' by Brett also a strange part two of the story started in issue 15 of the CE Journal. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">The Cepheus Engine Journal  acts as a free CE Rpg supplement & it's perfect to add to an existing campaign. 2d6 rpg games work on several levels. 2d6 works as an adventure rpg, works well as a fantasy rpg & fits the rpg path very well. And CE Journal can act as a touch stone or campaign fulcrum because it  provides a professionally done  free supplement. And this issue is no exception. </span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/osr-review-commentary-on-cepheus-engine.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/osr-review-commentary-on-cepheus-engine.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-06-20T09:53:00-07:00'>9:53 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/osr-review-commentary-on-cepheus-engine.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7627338278264889125&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7627338278264889125&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7627338278264889125&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7627338278264889125&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7627338278264889125&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=7627338278264889125&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/search/label/2d6%20Cepheus%20Engine%20rpg' rel='tag'>2d6 Cepheus Engine rpg</a>, <a href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/search/label/Cepheus%20Engine%20Journal%20Issue%20%2316' rel='tag'>Cepheus Engine Journal Issue #16</a>, <a href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/search/label/OSR%20Review%20%26%20Commentary' rel='tag'>OSR Review & Commentary</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Tuesday, June 18, 2024</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQ1gbkBbzbNaBpdrvISJA8MTKafvT0yqBL2G2fCZE8eP3eYMmJIRxG7YPKPhAu8nr6Bfv8ZPh8Kh43Fu2Nxy7w-hw_RjWDsJwkAxk72ecyaHM1Sb4gHVXHny5BbfyFzEkWodW5BQH2HJRHmwgk0i8GnRp3SmaM3H9CcNIA_-xxqWISsTCcX-uOLTuHXyI' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='7672684189982389944' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='8884655226252069706' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='8884655226252069706'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/sky-pirates-bandits-of-mars-warriors-of.html'>Sky Pirates & Bandits of Mars!

And we were taking him up on his offer! After charting a flyer our party took to the sky to save time! </i><br /><br />And it was wasn't long before adventure found us! In the skys above ancient Mars we found ourselves being followed by Martian sky pirates! That's right it was the ancient sky pirates and raiders of Mars the Black pirates! Just incase your not aware the First Born as they are known are absolutely ruthless and immoral outlaws. Our small mid range flyer was equipped with two heavy duty Martian rifles and our own wizards plus our mind wizard. <br />The First Born are an outlaw nation praying on whomever crosses thier part of the red skies and they work for whomever can pay them! <br />Our party waited until one of thier ships got close and then our wizard fire balled the first scout ship with a scroll we'd saved just for such an occasion! Next our thief managed to do an expert tumble onto thier deck with a natural twenty. <br />He was equipped with a particularly nasty natural spirit that we used as a Matov cocktail on thier Martian decking. We had our pilot do a roll to retrieve our thief Bardoc The Nimble with a carefully timed jump and telekinetic catch by our mind master. <br />The First Born called up two mid range flyers crewed by a craven lot of bandits and outlaws. We began to sense a pattern here and wondered if this was the First Born NPC thief and his pirate crew we'd ran into some months ago! We didn't recall his name but took out the other ship as the cocktail exploded. <br />We opened up with our guns as the ship drew closer and closer. And this was because we'd radioed to Helium's air navy! We were delaying the pirates with games until we'd crossed into Helium's airspace.

And this also includes a tail capable of smashing through an old growth tree!"<br />"The monster is primarily an ambush predator concealing itself in the undergrowth of the land. And then using it's  tongue and bulk to draw in prey. This is not it's only hunting option as the  Ibathene also sometimes actively hunts prey down attacking with a combination of tongue, tail,  and sheer bulk." <br />'The powerful stomach acids of  the  Ibathene are capable of disolving steel easily and are worth two to three thousand gold pieces to the right alchemist. Almost every part of the monster is useful for some form of enchant. The fact that the  Ibathene are so dangerous has made them exceptionally plentiful in some regions!" <br /><br />" Ibathene have a primary diet of thunder lizards and the like with giant wyvern, hydras, and dragons being only occasionally seen making the deep wilderness of our lands it's natural habitat" <br />" The </span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #050505;">Ibathene has been speculated to have originally been native to the planet Barsoom with the waning of magic having been the primary motivator for planar migrations" <br />" The beast found it's dragonic prey niche about 6 million years ago which is relatively young in dragon's terms. This marks the beast as one of the main enemies of dragon kind. And hence the standing bounty of 10,000 gold reward for any confirmed kill from the council of dragons" <br />"</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #050505;">Ibathene are essentially roving monsterous locusts with these horrors going on destructive rampages eating everything within a 50 mile radius then moving on. 'These times of destruction"  bring out every monster hunter from even far away lands. Special shaped explosive alchemist's bombs fed to the  </span></span><span style="color: #050505;">Ibathene </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #050505;">are often the solution to killing these horrors. Disposal of the corpse requires the alchemist's guild's help. This can be quite expensive and costly" <br />" And this ladies and gentlemen brings us to our own 'time of destruction' with the </span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #050505;">Ibathene massing for a massive feed and then mating frenzy.  These beasts lay 1d6 eggs which can sit for hundreds of years only to hatch unexpectedly with 6 of the young horrors consuming each other with only the strongest remaining" <br />" Inconclusion the </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="color: #050505;">Ibathene is an exceptionally dangerous alien horror that should be hunted and killed wherever found!" </span></span></div></span></span><p></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/ecology-of-bloody-arduins-ibathene-for.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/ecology-of-bloody-arduins-ibathene-for.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-06-14T10:36:00-07:00'>10:36 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/ecology-of-bloody-arduins-ibathene-for.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5956148169731368443&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5956148169731368443&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5956148169731368443&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

However the overlap with Troll Lords Castles & Crusades is pretty obvious in the similarities of the rpg systems. So there's a certain amount of cross compitibility within these OSR rpg systems. <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/484079/manavores-a-shadowdark-supplement">Manavores -- A Shadowdark Supplement By James Mishler, & Jodi Moran-Mishler </a> </span>is the perfect way to take the magical bite of our favorite OSR glass cannons the wizard or magic user. These monsters are not your average monsters and horrors that are hunting and eating magic. Instead these are creatures that have evolved in a highly magick charged enviroment. This is a fact brought home in the introduction; "</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> </span>The materials presented in this booklet are an optional, providing additional monsters as challenges to and perhaps allies of player characters. All the creatures herein are manavores, which eat or absorb magical energy and convert it to other sorts of magical or non-magical effects. All originate in areas of high concentration of magical power, and so can readily be found in just about any dungeon or area of high native magical or extra-planar power." <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> <br />Manavores is a well laid out and solid book that presents a really nice font, layout and basic graphic presentation that is easy on the eyes. <br />   </span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">  This makes   Manavores -- A Shadowdark Supplement  perfect for </span></span><a _ngcontent-serverapp-c1386452665="" class="u-dis-block" href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/313449/castles-crusades-codex-celtarum-2nd-printing" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline !important; font-family: soleil, Hevletica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; outline: none !important; text-decoration-line: none !important;"><h5 _ngcontent-serverapp-c1386452665="" class="u-text-bold" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--clr-site-lnk-hvr); display: inline-block; font-size: 16.8px; line-height: 21.8px; margin: 0px;">Castles & Crusades Codex Celtarum 2nd Printing</h5></a>. <span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Because of the magick rich enviroment that C&C campaigns present.

Some of these Manavores could be used as pets or companions but keep them far away from party wizards. <br />Within  <span style="background-color: #f0f0f0; color: var(--clr-site-txt);">Aihrde the manavores would certainly fit in nicely as there are already some monsters that would certainly fit the manavore moniker. I could also see using the manavores within Greyhawk. <br />Is the manavores supplement worth getting?! In a word yes there's a good range of magick eating creatures and monsters within to leave even the most cynical wizard shaking. </span></span></div><br /></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11243274667834930867' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Needles</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/review-commentary-on-manavores.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/review-commentary-on-manavores.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-06-11T11:04:00-07:00'>11:04 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://swordsandstitchery.blogspot.com/2024/06/review-commentary-on-manavores.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-1389871235'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5767511008953734158&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5767511008953734158&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=7672684189982389944&postID=5767511008953734158&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

The ship could be the colony starship Silver State. The September Group has too locate survivors of the Silver State  for a financial bonus. The ship, after some investigation (without power or transponder) could be the Silver State, which went missing a couple of months ago en route to establish a new colony on LX606 in Extraction Zone 9 (EZ9 0606).<br />This is all based on  <a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/448849/hostile-situation-report-007-the-ark">HOSTILE Situation Report 007 -The Ark </a> & this isn't the first time I've run this adventure. The players have no idea that thier PC's have come across this situation! <br />The player's PC's entered the Silver State cautiously & carefully made thier way through airlocks, main decam, etc. Of course I provided some jump scares and then way down in near engineering the PC's came across the remains of a creature they've never seen before. Something on the scale of a human but silicon based around a carbon frame. <br />The PC's cybersneak Petrov began checking the Silver State's diagnostics and came across four hypersleep chambers that had been comprimised. This was just before he was attacked by some sort of giant catipillar like creature! He just managed to croak out that he was attacked and the PC's rushed to Petrov's add. The party learnt that there </span></span><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> are seven dead on the ship (and nine dead people in their hypersleep chambers). <br />The party had a meeting in the computer room & thier engineer was messing in the Engineering section. That's when another </span></span></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">giant catipillar like creature attacked and then smacked straight into two strange biomechanical like skeleton like monsters. Robert managed to light one of the monsters on fire and ducked out of the section. </span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--clr-site-txt); line-height: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 0.5em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">He managed to limp back to medical & got patched up enough. The PC's had patched up thier cybersneak who came across the fact that the Silver State had refueled at a local gas giant.  And the party deduced that there was an invasive lifeform on board from the gas giant. Andd then it was 'bug hunt' time  & this took the rest of the night. Not before one of the PC's was killed by one of the strange biomechanical skeleton like monsters! </span></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div
