Pantheon: Core Deities

Pantheon: Core Deities

Time to get back to writing up deities for my setting. Most of the core pantheon consists of core D&D deities. Some of them were already written up on this blog. When making new spells I had to come up with a new imbuement skill.

Character: Celebros Thallien, Jungle Elf Shaman

Character: Celebros Thallien, Jungle Elf Shaman

After writing a setting document for my kitchen sink fantasy setting, I came to a conclusion that it would be a good idea to create some sample characters to explore the possibilities of all my Sorcery-based magic subsystems. This should help me see flaws, inconsistencies, and make tweaks. Today we have Celebros Thallien, a jungle elf shaman.

Emulating Fighting Games in GURPS

Emulating Fighting Games in GURPS

A quite long time ago, a friend of mine asked me to find a way to emulate fighting games, such as Mortal Kombat, BlazBlue, or Guilty Gear, in GURPS. I made some notes, but never posted or tested them. Here they are.
Also, this is my second blogging anniversary post. I've been posting daily for two years straight, so from now on I might slow down a bit.

Monsters: Fungi

Monsters: Fungi

Last monsters that start with the letter F in Monster Manual for D&D 3.5. Fungi are either immobile or barely mobile and are not very intelligent.

Monster: Frost Worm

Monster: Frost Worm

I like worm monsters, and the frost worm is one of my favorites. Too bad I did not get a chance to actually use it.

The last formian from Monster Manual for D&D 3.5. The queen is immobile, big, but has some spell-like abilities.

Monster: Formian Warrior

 Monster: Formian Warrior

Formian warriors are one step above formian workers in terms of rank. They are much more dangerous in combat than the workers, but should pose no real danger for adventurer, unless they are facing a whole formian swarm.

Monster: Formian Worker

Monster: Formian Worker

Formians are ant-like expansionist outsiders. Workers are barely sapient, but can cure other formians and mend objects.

Ettercaps are human-spider hybrid monsters. Should be fun and simple in encounters. We're done with letter E now.

Hazards: Slime, Molds, and Lichen

Here I convert hazards, such as supernatural molds, slime, and lichen from Dungeon Master's Guide for D&D 3.5. In addition, I convert similar hazards from Frostburn.

Monster: Ethereal Filcher

Monster: Ethereal Filcher

This is a weird monster that isn't very good in combat, but is very adept at stealing things. At first I wanted to give him No Legs (Bounces), but then decided to give him Cannot Kick and One Leg as a feature, because that will still let others target the leg and cripple it.
