There Will Be Blood

 Here's day two of GLoGtober (which can be found here: https://sunderedshillings.blogspot.com/2020/09/glogtober.html) 



1d16 Level-less Blood themed spells in the style of the platonic ideal of the world's okayest role-playing game. 


  1. Bloodbending - You control the target like a marionette for L rounds. 
  2. Blood Bond - You and a single target share a blood connection. Any damage or healing effects that affects one target, also affects the other. 
  3. Bucket of Blood - You shower a single target with massive bucket of blood that appears above them. 
  4. Read Blood - Tasting at least a droplet of blood grants you visions of the immediate area at the time that blood was spilt. 
  5.  Hemo-Step - You can step into a puddle of blood large enough to accommodate you and emerge from another concentration of blood from the same creature.
  6. Bloodstained Tears - The target begins cry blood profusely. 
  7. Bloodwake - For a short time, wherever you walk a wave of blood follows. 
  8. Hemogoblin - You summon L coagulated blood goblins to do your bidding for up to an hour. 
  9. Clotting - Object is covered in a viscous and sticky lump of coagulated blood. 
  10. Rush of Blood - Target experiences a massive adrenaline rush, feeling more alert, stronger, and faster for a short period of time. 
  11. Reverse Flow - You undo and completely reverse the effects of the last healing a single target received. 
  12. Bloodmist - Fill the area with a pink mist that dampens everything that moves through it with a light layer of blood and obscures vision, smell, and taste. 
  13. Dark Infusion - Take L damage to maximize the effects of a spell being cast by another person. 
  14. Crimson Tide - Fill the area with Lx100 gallons of rushing blood. 
  15. Taste of Blood - Tasting at least a drop of blood will reveal the direction of the creature with unerring accuracy. 
  16. Bound by Blood - Performing a ritual involving open wounds and a little blood swapping, you and another target are bound for the next 24 hours, able to share senses even at great distances.

    Ooh, I want stats and culture notes on Hemogoblins (especially considering tomorrow's theme is Goblins)! I love the spells, and I'm excited to see more! Thanks for participating, and happy GLoGtober!

      Of course! This is pretty fun. Can't guarantee that I'll be able to stick with it throughout the month but so far it's been exciting to just publish things and not worry about *what* to create.

More Than a Bucket of Bolts

Next up on my journey through solo rpg space is a little zine called Bucket of Bolts ( buy it here ), where you take on the POV of medium sized spacecraft, and explore its journey through time and space, cataloging adventures, upgrades, and a timeline of several Captains that have the privilege of being at the helm. It's based on another rpg called Artefact (in which you write from the POV of a sentient magic item or weapon). I had enjoyed  Artefact before, so I was excited to try this one out.  Source:  abduzeedo The game starts with you describing your ship; writing about some basic details like the type of ship, the model and make, the crew who designed and built it, as well as some defining traits like if it's sleek , or powerful , or intimidating .  My particular ship for this game was nicknamed Ladybug, and was the mid-range value model of Hyperion Industries called the Prospect-QX . Sporting the same engine and basic design as their flagship luxury spaceship line, the Pr

Lichdom - A Reflective Ascent to Power

 I recently sat down and resolved to start tackling the mountain of rulebooks and rpgs that seemed to be growing by the week before me. That, paired with a sort of terse relationship with video games at the moment, lead me to tackle some of the solo roleplaying games that I had begun to subconsciously collect. I had played one or two before, most notably the famous and award-winning Thousand Year Old Vampire , which was a surreal experience at the least (and a profoundly introspective jaunt at its best).  Source: Dungeon Crawl Classics (seriously great game, check it out too) This week I decided to try one of the newer ones I had picked up: Lichdom (buy it here) . Thanking the past version of me that had the foresight (or the money burning a hole in my digital wallet) for backing the Kickstarter that came with the hardcover and a custom deck of themed playing cards, I cracked open the cards, uncapped a new pen, and creased the spine of a brand new journal to start playing.  Lichdom is

Knave-Knacks

Knave is a great chassis of an rpg for modding and hacking, and it seems that the first thing that most game designers see is a need for class customization in an otherwise classless system. I'm no different. Here's a stab in the dark at trying to add a little more character customization. Knacks As characters level, they reveal themselves to either have obtained or show a natural knack for different aspects of dungeoneering. At levels 3, 6, and 9, instead of increasing three abilities by one point, they increase a single ability by one point and roll on one of the following tables. (I guess your players can pick one if they want, but rolling is usually more fun, and that's what matters).  Fighting       +1 boon on attack rolls        +1 boon on stunts        Deal damage equal to your Strength on a successful stunt       Ignore losing 1 point of quality on armor or extra damage when an attacker rolls a 20 (or you roll a 1 to defend).       When wielding tw
