Mystaran Campaign: Conan the Barbarian falls through a Gate

 

Conan the Barbarian: 5th level Thief; Neutral; 25hp; AC7; S 13, I 15, W 13, D 11, C 14, Ch 11; Sword, Leather Armour, Helmet, Cloak, Plain Clothes, Belt, Boots;

Languages: Cimmerian, Common

Leaving behind the Northlands of Hyboria, Conan journied south where a chance encounter with a Sorcerer resulted in Conan being gated to a world called Mystara- A world where unhuman things freely walk the streets of cities and magical beasts are as prolific as birds in the sky.

He is suspicious of non-humans and untrusting of Wizards and Priests. He will work as a Mercenary with human only Adventuring parties.

Basic Expert: The Observatorium of Urthr Hickly

 

Urthr Hickly build an Observatory on a hill on the edge of the village of Muckety, the Halfling deemed ecentric by the locals, and there he spent his time, having little to do with the locals except purchase fresh bacon, milk, eggs, bread, and a few vegetables on a daily basis.

He had indeed established an Observatory, though he wasnt watching the Stars. Rather he was with his scrying Telescope observing state officials in the Capital.

Urthr Hickly, a Gold Dragon, was gathering secrets, and then providing those secrets to others. After exposing corrupt officials, and embarasing a number of wealthy families they placed a bounty on the Spy's head. Powerful wizards were employed to seek the knowledge of his name and thereabouts  from other planar sources.

The Party, proving to be avid bounty hunters, were provided with amulets vs crystal balls allowing them to pursue their target without detection.

The Observatorium is a short 40' wide, 40' high stone tower with pointed roof and a single reinforced wooden door. 

1- The portico shades the reinforced wooden door (-2AC, 100hp) from sunlight and rain. There is a pullcable that rings a bell inside the door. Doing so alerts Urthr to any magical items in the Portico.

2- The Bailey inside the door is at the bottom of a spiral stone starecase ten feet wide. The steps of the stairs are warded with spells. The first a dimension door spell which employing a command known only to Urthr will dimension door him to the top of the Trapdoor in Area 3. The other thirteen steps have magic missile spells which inflict 1d6+1hp to everyone climbing the stairs. 

3- The living quarters here can only be accessed by the trapdoor which had a dimension door to the bottom step. This room has a central support pillar and wall concealing half of it from view. From the trapdoor a bed with a chest is visible (area a). The chest contains a collection of fresh bedding. There is a holy symbol under the bedding that turns any non lawful person as Undead on sight.

Beyond the concealing wall is a chair at a desk (area b), and a bookshelf with a selection of (20) magic Scrolls, and pen and ink.  

If Urthr is caught in here, he can transform into a gold Dragon and fight it out, leaving by crashing out through the roof if necessary. The Door in the wall to the left leads to Area 4.

4- A smoking chair and a Telescope (Telescope of Scrying) looking out a window occupy the room. If taken by surprise here, he dimension doors outside.

Dungeon Mastery: Can a Dungeon have an Alignment?

 

In the Caves of Chaos we are presented with a dungeon entrance marked by red veins. And within, the forces of evil chaos are busy raising up an army and indoctrinating noobs with cursed wine goblets that twist you to evil chaos more on par wth an Artefact of the immortals that some simple helm of Alignment change.

Why cant a Dungeon have an Alignment (and sentience) in its own right? If its an immortal entity or sentient artifact it might heal its worshipers, and torment and curse its plunderers.

Conclusion: Coastal life begins at 39% as Tata (nepalese). So the Nepalese were originally coastal. Followed at 37% by Kaṭaṟkarai (tamil) and Aktí (greek), followed by a cultural bandgap. Coastal life resumes at 34%. Coastal interest peaks at 12%-9% before dropping away in popularity.

 

World Building: Establishing the foundations

You need a dictionary for each culture remembering that their geographic markers describe what they have seen, so once you analyze these name pools, and dictionaries, you will get geographic origins specific to the ancestors of particular groups, entomology,  Shared linguistic origins, and soforth.

If your culture originates at a geographic marker that is no where near its current location, its likely that they migrated. They might not even have a word for that geography implying no longterm records.

Imagine a tribe you have inserted down on a hill in the middle of a continent originating linguistically similar to sailing boats. That might mean they abandoned a coastal location. Either recently or because its now under water.

Once you have all your data, you can pretty much map the related groups, and migration paths, note down historic interactions, shared caves, technological growth.

You can then plunk them on a map.

Road Signs: Apparently I'm Arrogant?

 

Apparently the truth is offensive and the ignorant need to be respected and treated as though their opinion is valid.

The Truth isnt Arrogance, its the membership requirement.

Old Timey: Doctor Who

For those who think Doctor Who declined exclusively during the Jodie Whitaker Doctor, think again. Doctor Who took a dive when the American marketing of the Doctor Who movie before the Chris Eccleston era suggested the Doctor was half human. It was obvious that marketing an Alien hero as half Human to American audiences was about the American worldview- that a Foreigner or Alien can never be held up as the hero in the right. 

But it also showed that American Marking would determine the future of Doctor Who's packaging. They dont want to understand what Doctor Who is-  

What is the Doctor? 

Firstly, the Doctor is a chameleonic, time travelling alien from a chameleonic, time travelling alien species. Chameleons are Chameleonic to avoid predators, or hunt prey. The species looks human because that is where they hide. That makes humans food, or part of their camouflage plan (and we see this in the beginning with An Unearthly Child). Timelords are not the top of the food chain if they are a chameleonic time travelling species that evolved to hide from a predator that may still be looking for them.

Secondly, the Doctor is a tour-guide introducing ignorant little humans to a Universe filled with Cosmic Horror.

Thirdly, the Doctor is an Arsonist looking to set fire to all human-centric belief. Gender, Race, Religion, Equality, and Culture is there to be set fire to Because the burning rubble of your civilization is just there to illuminate a Dark road along which the Doctor is travelling.

Dungeon Mastery: Rethinking the Greate Olde Woode

 

N2 The Forest Oracle

Reduce the scale down from two mile per hex to 50ft per hex, and replace the mountain range with a plant barrier. The barrier is now initially erected by Druids to stop humans expanding across the river, but humanoids took over the barrier of broken trees and the ruined castle fortifying their position.

The adventure area is now the size of a small city, rather than a kingdom.

Basque culture begins to develop at 21% with Atila, Ato, Ortio, and Taio. It then rises to a cultural peak at 17% before declining through to 2% fully literate.
The Basque national identity only emerges in the last 2% fully literate of the Male Basque culture (when the cultural Alphabet has included sufficient letters to use the Basque Descriptor). The male Basque identity is founded on fiction having little relation to the 17% cultural peak.

This two foot long garden snail will take a skull as a shell. It shows up in graveyards where it will animate all the corpses as undead. The undead will act to defend the Obscene Horror. Unlike regular undead, these are sentient and enjoy free will as if they were alive. They are still vulnerable to undead turning.

Dungeon Mastery: Blinding their infravision

 

Stealthy PCs like to use infravision/darkvision because the can wander around in the dark and see enemies before they are in turn seen. And the only thing that disrupts infravision is light. So if you want to incapacitate a PCs ability to see in the dark, all light sources to the landscape. Even if they can see in the dark, anything this side of the distant light source, they cant see beyond that illuminated area because they cant see through the illuminated area.

Conclusion: Male Norman Culture begins at 41% with René. It then undergoes a cultural bandgap from 40%-36% before recovering at 35%. male norman culture undergoes a peak at 21% before dropping off and then peaking culturally at 17%. It then declines through to 1%. As these Norman names were in use before the invasion of 1066, the Norman conquest is more recent than 17%? And Guy (as in Guy of Gisborne) at 7% is a post-conquest name?
