1d20 Perks 

From Yale environment 360





  1. Hydrogen: It's explosive, created in slurry pits and coal mines (Next delve, how about bringing a gas mask?) and is a incredible source of energy. You start with a cow as hydrogen comes from the stomach of ruminants. Recommended for an intelligent fighter as they can use a carefully placed bucket as a impromptu mortar (dealing 2d6 to any poor soul hit with the projectile). Bonus points if firearms or hydrogen cars from a by-gone age are a thing.
  2. Helium: It is incredibly light, makes you high-pitched and genies are made out it. You can use this with some canvas to make a balloon. This can allow you to jump up to (level x 5) ft high with enough helium strapped to them. Flight? no, you are Mario on a budget.
  3. Lithium: is used as an alloy with aluminum and magnesium to improve weapon strength and make it lighter. It takes a day for you to make a weapon out of lithium alloy but your magic user can use a sword made of lithium alloy. 
  4. Beryllium: reflects neutrons. It is also found in emeralds. It doesn't melt so you can carry lava (adds scaling to any weapon if the target has more Hit Dice than you)
  5. Boron: is found in bleach. You can clean away messes like rust, acid burns and maybe even rust monsters. degradation on metals are removed if you spend a turn cleaning.
  6. Carbon: is in diamonds. You don't care about jewelry, you can dig! It requires 10gp per 15ft due to the careful carving of the diamond. 
  7. Nitrogen: can make things incredibly cold. You can splash nitrogen on creatures dealing 1d6 cold damage (adds scaling if the target is warmer than you).
  8. Oxygen: allows you to breathe under water as long as you are connected to your barrel of oxygen. It is connected by a 10ft long flexible pipe.
  9. Fluorine: is used in Sodium fluoride, meaning you have one hell of a winning smile. +1 to reaction rolls. 
  10. Neon: You glow. You have created a vacuum discharge tube inside of yourself and now glow dim light. Not enough to see by but you can be spotted in a dark room.
  11. Sodium: It is used in a number of dyes so given a day's rest, You can dye a number of items any colour equal to your Con score. 
  12. Magnesium: Magnesium is used to help grow our bones so you have grown your skeleton in such a way that you seem to be able talk to the undead.
  13. Aluminum: It is used in aluminum foil. You are wrapped up, gaining a +2 bonus vs mind control. 
  14. Silicon: it is found in glass so you can produce lvl glass jars that can hold 1 litre.
  15. Phosphorus: Phosphorus is used in fertilisers. Plants grow at an accelerated rate within 15ft of you.
  16. Sulfur: You can create sulfuric acid, eating through wood like it's no problem. 
  17. Chlorine: You can clean any water they find similar to purify food and water
  18.  Argon: You can weld metals together. Unwilling targets roll vs paralysis to avoid
  19.  Potassium: You have developed photosynthesis. You can go without food as long as you spend the day under sunlight.
  20.  Calcium: Your bones are strong, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC

Everything-as-XP (my home game)

My in person game is starting up. I have chosen to avoid a system for a number of reasons: I am given an hour and a half per session. 90% of my players are new to tabletop. My player count varies. So I have chosen a simple system that they create. One thing I love to leverage is what fantasy does everyone have in their heads. Some have LotR, Harry Potter more lesser known books or movies. There is also video games. Because of this, "fantasy" isn't a singular set of tropes and conventions but multiple.   But how? Characters are simple. Here is the character sheet drawn in Microsoft Paint: a rough mock up of the character sheet Path:  There are only 2 choices. Steel for martial warrior types and Spell for spellcasters. These set how many wounds you can take, whether you get access to magic or deeds. Steels get 2 wounds before getting unconscious, the ability to do mighty deeds of arms if their dice matches. (this is a 2d6+mods system). Spell gets the ability to cast magic (...

Every system teaches you something. Even bad ones.

Introduction I have played many systems, from narrative focused games to more simulationist games. Over time my tastes have changed from wanting the rules nearly out the picture to wanting the rules to be the focus of the game. Nowadays it leans somewhere in between. Here is a list of all the games I have played and what I learnt from them.  The Games Dungeons and Dragons 5e: advantage is a great mechanic for simply adding to a roll with little tracking.  Pathfinder: It's very hard to make a one-trick pony so every character has at least a dozen toys. Shadowdark: The perfect amount of character abilities (at least from the get-go) is 2. From The Arcane Library's website GURPS: I love how the numbers are done in the beginning meaning once character generation is done, you just need to look at your sheet.  Dungeon Crawl Classics: I love level 0 as it answers the only question a backstory should have and that's why are you here. Troika: Give your players weird and cool toys ...

Little gods and what they do for a settting.

Petty Gods It is my birthday as I am writing this and I thought about gods in OSR ttrpgs. I received Petty Gods: Revised and Expanded Edition and it got me thinking about how cooler religions could be with lots of smaller gods rather than one or a couple gods. I don't like clerics as written since they have the most assumptions about a setting. Fighters assume going into combat is a regular thing, magic user assume magic is a thing and a common thing and thieves assume there is crime. Clerics assume that there are undead, religions and gods. That's a lot and I often find in settings that are more distant from the traditional OSR fantasy often rework or replace the cleric all together since an assumption of the cleric clashes with the setting.  From Rended Press   Besides, The only classes I respect are Warriors and Wonder people. Cleric does a decent job at both and it annoys me. The main idea of clerics is they pick from a pantheon and dedicate themselves to one particular go...
