Binding [Power/Scroll]
Similar to the Te-le-kin-esis Scroll from the base game, but with some added fun of fixed distances, easier rolls, and harsher failures. I imagine this Scroll to be hovering off a shoreline about 200 feet in the air.

'Bound Lich' sounds awesome. I'd listen to that band. Great dungeon layout too.

Scales [GM tool]
Put a scale on the table. Whenever players do something one way, place a stone or D6 on one side. Whenever they do something else, place one on the other side. The "things" don't need to be "good" and "bad". Never explain why the scales are getting tipped or what they do.

Beetle [item]
Parchment Beetles are very rare, but once you find one you tend to keep finding them.

Such an awesome scene with the pit full of beetles.

Thorn [item]:
The Privaat Bush. Vines coil around the shrub-like body to keep most predators away and acts as a exoskeleton household for ground animals. The thorns don't hurt the victim they simply make them not want the prey any longer.
-Excerpt from Myrin's Topical Guide to Shrubs

Hells yeah, this rules.

Wizard [event?]
The darkened forest releases your broken bodies and souls into the open plains, and into the scene of some people uhh . . . what is happening?
Just a reminder that we're all rolling dice and pretending to be undead warriors with magic swords. Don't take it too seriously.

I love items like this. Great design!

Some Idiot Games @someidiotgames.bsky.social · 6d

Thanks! They are easily one of my favorite enemies from the raw rulebook. Had to toss them in here somewhere!

H.u.S.K [group]
Hous uf Seekret Klub
A bunch of sewer people and thieves that have started a weird little club. They meet every six days underground and discuss their plans for who-knows-what. There are rumors that some of them are naturally magical and posses certain abilities.

Stain [area]
"The Stain is what it were called. Damned things would come up outta the soil. Anywhere blood were spilt. Herbs help ya if ya travel there."
-Occult Herbalist

An old graveyard where BELZE rise from any blood that stains the ground. The larger the stain, the larger the BELZE.

Daggers [map]
Etched on the walls at the entrance:
Daggers Daggers
They'll run you through
Rat baggers and knuckle draggers
You better run through
Point to point, captured and caught
Fiendish friends and troubles tots
They'll run you through

It could be "cursed" in a "good way"? [It's not]

Some Idiot Games @someidiotgames.bsky.social · 9d

You know some weird freak will want that preserved corpse for some ritual or something.

Some Idiot Games @someidiotgames.bsky.social · 10d

That's one powerful froggy! Nice design.

Some Idiot Games @someidiotgames.bsky.social · 10d

This is awesome. What a great scene!

MAW MAW [npc]:
A shambling mound of rags and trinkets giggles as animated appendages emerge from the pile.
"Oh oh OH! Trinkets. Lockets. Dead men's pockets. Come have a looksee and see what you look at!"
The oddly charismatic mass of loot beckons you in to peruse their wares.

FROG [quest]:
A plump tavern owner stands in front of you, "Frog eggs. Nasty slimey suckers that smell worse the longer they sit. I got a back shed full of em and you're going to clear em out. I can pay you a silver shaving each. Careful in there though, I hear odd noises at night."

Been working on a new adventure that will be compatible with the @mothership.bsky.social system.
This adventure is most likely going to be released next year, but check out this weird little teaser I made for it.
