Day 28 of #ttrpgpromptober has the theme "Gods/goddesses". My partner suggested I try making something akin to Polaris' ritual phrases for conflict resolution, which I thought was a good fit for undying gods. Also, I've been playing Hades II 😅

#promptober Day 28 - Gods/goddesses | Notion
A game of storytelling and negotiating for 3-5 players. Heavily inspired by Polaris by P.H. Lee as well as the depiction of the ancient Greek pantheon in Hades II by Supergiant Games.

Day 26 (also for the Starlight Jam for Over/Under)

The Shard of Unending Light

Found in the depths of the all forest planet of Vana, the Shard of Unending Light was fabled to be made from a shard of star that exploded a millenia prior.

Day 25 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel slipped my mind, just like Bigfoot evades me every day. But here's my Appalachian contribution! #promptober #drawsteel #cryptids #mothman
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #25: Cryptid Wings of the Nightseer Leveled Treasure This tattered, midnight-black cloak flutters gently in an invisible wind, adding large insectoid wings to your silhouette. Keywords: Magic, Neck Goal: 450 Reason or Intuition Source: Texts or lore in Kheltivari Item Prerequisite: Scales shed from a thousand moths, the hair of a dead oracle whose last prophecy never came to pass 1st Level | RED EYES: While you wear this cloak, whenever an enemy within your line of effect makes a Strike that targets you or any of your allies, you can use a triggered action to impose a double bane on the power roll. Additionally, you can’t be surprised, and you can fly. If you don’t end your turn on the ground, you fall. 5th Level | MOONBLESSED: Whenever an enemy within your line of effect uses an Area ability that targets you or any of your allies, you can use a triggered action to allow one target of the ability to shift a number of squares equal to your Reason or Intuition score. If that target ends this movement beyond the distance of the triggering ability, they take no damage and suffer no effects from it. Additionally, you no longer need to end your turn on the ground to avoid falling. 9th level | FUTURE IMPERFECT: Once per combat round, you can use a triggered action as a free triggered action.

And here's Day 26 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel, maybe the most tangential from the prompt — but still an idea I liked! #promptober #drawsteel #trailcams #foundfootage
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #26: Trail Cams/Found Footage Prismacore Viewfinder Consumable A security device invented in Ordos, designed to hamper assailants and intruders until they can be neutralized. Keywords: Psionic Goal: 180 Reason or Presence Source: Texts or lore in Axiomatic Item Prerequisite: A chunk of prismacore charged with psionic energy and authorized by a UNISOL quartermaster Effect: You can deploy the viewfinder on its tripod as a maneuver. While deployed, the psionic crystal inside records the neural patterns and nerve signals of nearby creatures. Whenever an enemy ends their turn within 10 squares of the viewfinder, you can use a free triggered action to target them with the crystal. Choose one main action, maneuver, or move action that creature used on their turn. They must repeat that action on their next turn if at all possible, including spending the same amount of Malice and choosing the same targets. If they can’t do so, they become dazed (EoT) instead.

Another montage challenge for Day 24 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! Need to climb a tarrasque? Or, I guess, uh, Goxomoc? I've got the challenge for you! #promptober #drawsteel #colossalbeast #tarrasque
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #24: Colossal Beast Scale the Colossus Montage Challenge A beast of titanic size is on its way to town. The only way to stop it is to get to its head and succeed at an extremely difficult 6-round Complete the Action encounter, but climbing the creature’s limbs is harder than scaling a mountain — and a whole ecosystem for the heroes to contend with has developed on its back. Inspired by @fluttersprite’s rules for Montage Challenges. Rather than accumulating successes, the players must choose which Threats they want to negate and which Opportunities they want to claim before the two rounds are over. Players tackle Threats and Opportunities in any order, the same way they tackle challenges in a normal Montage Test. Tasks with multiple icons can be tackled multiple times, negating/claiming one instance of the Threat/Opportunity each time. Locked tasks (🔒) can’t be attempted at all until the named task is completed at least once first. THREATS Fend Off Parasites [2]: Each hero loses two Recoveries. Many beasts of the wild have taken to living off the colossus’s hide, and they don’t take kindly to intruders. Repair Arcane Seals [3]: Reduce the number of rounds required to Complete the Action by 1. The colossus has been kept dormant for centuries thanks to the work of ancient heroes who placed arcane seals all around its body. Now, those seals have weakened, and repairing them is the only way to slow the beast. OPPORTUNITIES Explore the Beastscape [Hard]: Find a trinket. You’re not the first adventurers to scale the colossus, and you may not be the last... Gather Rare Reagents: Find an item prerequisite for crafting a leveled treasure. 🔒 Fend Off Parasites The beastscape is brimming with arcane power. All kinds of strange ingredients can be found up here. Scale the Beast [2]: Grant an edge on the next test. Finding a fast, efficient way to the top is paramount to stopping the colossus.

Why not you take a nice break in a custom tower resort? Catching up with Day 19 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! #promptober #drawsteel #wizardstower #wizard
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #19: Wizard’s Tower Portable Arcanaeum Consumable Although this miniature model fits in your hand, it’s heavy enough to break your foot. So don’t drop it. Keywords: Magic Reason, Intuition, Presence Source: Texts or lore in the First Language Goal: 180 Item Prerequisite: A scale model of an existing mage’s tower, complete with interiors and your own personalizations Effect: If you place the model on the ground and spend 1 minute reciting the arcane assembly instructions from the project source, it expands into a 5×5 area and grows to be 10 squares tall. If there isn’t enough space for the model to expand, it doesn’t, but remains useable. The resulting tower is fully furnished and decorated according to the design of the model. It contains enough space and supplies for up to 10 creatures to take a respite, but it doesn’t contain any of the tools or equipment needed for those creatures to undertake normal respite activities. The Director can allow a particular respite activity at their discretion. You are aware of the presence and location of all enemies within 20 squares of the tower. If an enemy comes within 20 squares of the tower, all creatures who are nonmagically asleep within it wake up. The tower otherwise has no defenses. At the end of the respite, or after 48 hours, the tower fades into nothingness. Any creatures inside appear safely on the ground in the space where the tower stood.

Showing my admiration for void elementalists in Day 20 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel. Almost caught up again! #promptober #drawsteel #mystery #lostbook #lostknowledge
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #20: Lost Book/Knowledge Chapter from the Infinite Library: Occultus Leveled Treasure Gossamer-thin pages turn before you even touch them, always ready to answer the question you didn’t know to ask. Keywords: Implement, Magic Goal: 450, Reason or Intuition Source: Reference materials in the First Language from the Infinite Library detailing the precise physical and metaphysical dimensions of a void portal Item Prerequisite: One bottle of sacred ink and a full ream of blessed parchment 1st Level | Interpres: You can open or close the tome as a free maneuver at the start of your turn. While the tome is open, it orbits around you and flips to specific pages at your unspoken command, your magic or psionic abilities that deal rolled damage gain a +1 damage bonus, and whenever you use a magic or psionic ability, you can spend 1 Heroic Resource to allow yourself or one ally within distance of the ability to teleport up to a number of squares equal to your highest characteristic score as a free triggered action after the ability resolves. 5th Level | Impulsor: While the tome is open, the implement’s damage bonus increases to +2, and whenever you deal rolled damage with a magic or psionic ability, you can spend up to 3 surges to teleport one creature or object targeted by the ability up to 2 squares per surge spent. 9th level | Infinitus: While the tome is open, the implement’s damage bonus increases to +3, and you can spend 1 minute focusing on its teachings to open a one-way portal that leads to any place you have previously been. You and your allies can pass through the portal, which remains open for 1 minute, until you pass through it, or until you dismiss it as a main action. You can’t open another portal this way until you earn 1 or more Victories. Jonas Tintenseher Powered by Draw Steel

Right under the wire with a (probably underbaked) revenant trait for Day 16 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! #promptober #drawsteel #hauntings #revenant #ghosts
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #16: Hauntings Phantom Sight Ancestry Trait An additional ancestry trait option for revenant heroes. Phantom Sight (1 Point) Though your body is still intact, your attachment to it is tenuous. As a maneuver, you can touch a willing creature to form a spiritual link, allowing you to communicate telepathically and use their senses. While linked this way, your host still benefits from their own senses, but your body falls inert and motionless, leaving you unable to move or act. This effect ends when the target becomes dazed, when the target is no longer willing to maintain the link, or when you dismiss it (no action required). Jonas Tintenseher Powered by Draw Steel

Had a stacked weekend, but we're catching up with Day 11 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! #promptober #drawsteel #thalassophobia #thalassophilia #kraken
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #11: Thalassophobia/philia Scion of the Deep Title My lungs filled with water and my vision went black. Little did I know my last breath was truly my first. Prerequisite (3rd Echelon): You die underwater in the presence of a powerful aquatic being, such as a kraken. Effect: You are restored to life, but your appearance is permanently altered with clammy skin, extraneous tentacles, fins, gills, scales, sharp teeth, or some other accent determined by the Director. You gain the Waterborn complication and choose one of the following additional benefits: Invocation of Fathomless Will: The first time in an encounter that you become dying, you gain two surges. Invocation of Shared Breath: Each time you finish a respite, you can choose any number of allies who are also finishing a respite. Until you finish another respite, each ally chosen this way can breathe underwater, can automatically swim at full speed while moving, and has lightning weakness 5. Invocation of Surging Tides: Once per turn when you push or pull a creature, you can use a free triggered action to shift a number of squares equal to half the forced movement distance.

Well, zombies were the obvious answer here, but I thought it was about time for a tense political intrigue scene in Draw Steel. Day 9 of ##ttrpgpromptober! #promptober #drawsteel #thriller #montagechallenge
Draw Steel Promptober ‘25 Day #9: THRILLER Infiltrate the Gala Montage Challenge The heroes must infiltrate a grand gala hosted by none other than their greatest enemy — or, at least, one of their politically oriented subordinates. While it would be foolish for either party to kick off a ballroom brawl, there’s no telling what secrets they might uncover behind closed doors... Inspired by @fluttersprite. Rather than accumulating successes, the players must choose which Threats they want to negate and which Opportunities they want to claim before the two rounds are over. Players tackle Threats and Opportunities the same way they tackle challenges in a normal Montage Test. THREATS Attract Suspicion: The host automatically goes first in their next combat. Remain beneath notice to keep your gracious host from suspecting an attack. Hounded by Petty Scandal: -2 Renown among attendees. Demonstrate your etiquette and good behavior to the gathered nobles to avoid the stale whiff of impropriety. Lose a Duel: One hero loses 3 Recoveries. Remember that War College graduate you humiliated in battle last week? They’re back and itching for a chance to prove themself with steel. Psionic Viewfinders [x2]: The Director gains 3 Malice in your next combat encounter against the host. Avoid, disable, mislead, or resist the psychic intrusions of the viewfinders strategically placed around the castle. OPPORTUNITIES Behind Closed Doors [x2]: Discover a key piece of intel about your host. Search the castle, charm guests, pickpocket your host, do whatever it takes to learn what you need. Earn Patronage: Recruit an artisan or sage follower. Woo a noble’s favor, romantically or otherwise, and they’ll keep you replete with resources and lore. Impress the Crowd: +1 Renown among attendees. They’ll remember you, that’s for sure. Sow Rumors [x2]: Remove one minion squad from your next combat encounter against the host. I say! And then?! Oh, my! Jonas Tintenseher Powered by Draw Steel
