TRAVELING MAILSMAN

Your players arrive in an abandoned city – the first thing they do is enter a home, asking what’s left of the pantry. What do you say to them? Shelves are crashed on their sides, cans have been swept onto the ground, salted meat hooks hang empty from the ceiling with scraps just barely clinging on. All in all, it seems someone took as much as they could, and left fast. Your players want to talk to a city magistrate about an unpopular idea of theirs. In order to catch the magistrate off-guard, they approach early in the morning. What state do they find the magistrate in? Slumped back on the couch, hand dangling onto the floor, half paying attention to a plate of syrupy yellow lemon on a big dinner plate on their chest. Does not seem to mind this attention, more likely out of lethargy and burnout than of confidence. During character creation, a player mentions that they want a naturally blue-haired character. Not for any particular reason, you were envisioning your campaign setting witho...

  1) What class knows the most martial arts? Are they real martial arts like kung fu, or made up ones like krav maga? there aren't classes per se (hon hon, oui oui, I am better than you) but of all the things the players can do for martial skills probably you would want to seek out the hands of someone who was a great fighter, and get them glommed onto your wrists. its all about the memory of the bones, you see. gotta leverage that bone memory. so I guess that class would be "fucking glorious bastard who survived getting someone else's hands swapped for their's with medieval medicine. 2) Can I start out having already made a deal with the devil or do I have to do that in game? I suppose you *could* start by having a deal with the devil, but it would have to be worked out, like playing a dragon or a time traveler. you could also make one in game, and in that case it would be a little less worked out, as I plan on making rules for deals with extra-planar beings (its one ...

     Start with one <3 and 10 to-hit. roll 3d6 straight for each of Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. every stat of 13 or above is a +1 and every stat of 8 or lower is a -1. Roll 1d6 and attempt to get at least 6 when you attempt a challenging task. Add relevant stat bonus, as well as a +1 for each of relevant knowledge, good tools, and good circumstances. If you cannot succeed, roll a 20 on 1d20. roll 1d20 under To-Hit when attacking, defending yourself, or using things relevant to combat reflexes.      When you get harmed, lose one <3 . Explosive, massive, or monstrous damage does <3 <3 . Some things debilitate or pain you without being immediately fatal, they make you gain Stress. Stress subtracts from To-Hit, if this brings you to 0 To-Hit, you collapse and permanently lose one maximum To-Hit. If maximum To-Hit is 0 you are dead.      Spend a treasure to gain a level. gaining a level gives...
