#MÖRKTOBER in Cypher System Day 11: Scales. Just some simple cyphers, but why does scale powder give you visions? Where did these mysterious scales come from?
Shed of Renewal Level: 1d6 Form: A piece of the papery and cast-off shed scales of a dragon’s molting. Effect: The user crushes the fragile scales and immediately gains a free recovery roll (two if the cypher is level 6). When this recovery roll is taken, the user’s skin sloughs off like a snake sheds its skin, revealing fresh and renewed flesh underneath. Curing “Blockages: Powder of Clarity Level: 1d6 Form: A fine powder ground from the scales of an unknown creature Effect: Inhaling this powder grants the imbiber a brief vision into the future. The Player may ask the GM one very general question about what is likely to happen over the course of a minute a number of hours into the future, up to the cypher’s level.

Magic Item #6: The Needle of Desire.

This one is heavily inspired by Into the Odd's Pierced Heart Arcanum. I adapted it for my Mythic Bastionland game, but it'll suit any OSR just fine I'd imagine.

#osr #nsr #shadowdark #rpg #dnd
A magic item designed for Shadowdark and other TTRPGs. Title: Needle of Desire. Flavor Text: A sliver of silver, cloaked in pale moon light. Benefit: When inserted into a fresh heart, speak your desire. When held in the direction of your desire the heart beats. The heart ruptures into a gorey mess when the goal is in sight.

The vast majority of the country has no idea how out of control ICE is right now. Yes, there's reporting on ICE raids and protests, but most people are not seeing photos and videos of horrific incidents like this, or the apartment building raid.

If most people did know they'd be horrified.
