Decided to roll 3 sets:

1) 8-4-2-2 -> Magical event at childhood and then a fairly standard life.

2) 1-8-5-7 -> A lot more turbulent, this life. Had a family and become a quest giver.

3) 2-1-5-4 -> Ups and downs in life - most around their love- but has a sedate old age.

Have you seen @navypink.itch.io 's new Kickstarter?

Design, layout, art - all by one person! And better yet - It features the first ever Bludgeon Rules conversion of an adventure!

It's also available in #5e & #Shadowdark rules, too.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/161...

The Crown of Jarajakti. A naval horror adventure.

Find the stranded ship and escape with the treasure. What seemed like a simple job quickly takes a much more disturbing turn...

Bludgeon is the best and you should totally play it if you like the basic assumptions of DnD but with more tactical crunch, modularity, and flavor ❤️‍🔥
