DAy 11 and there's not much left of the rogue once I got through with it. Most of the other capstone abilities (level 20 features you'll never see in play) have been usable I think. but the extra turn a rogue gets at the beginning of every fight might be a little OP.
Day 12 maybe I have figured out what I want to do about the unruly spell list? is it a good solution? will I spend the next 12 days wrestling with it? Stay tuned to find out =)
Beauty Kills - The Siren class for B/X is my late entry for Day 10.
This was my first attempt at writing a class for B/X (I don't usually play straight retro D&D or retroclones). It might be very unbalanced, and halfway through writing it, I realized it would probably have worked better as a monster. But, despite all odds, it is here.
Very creepy and seems like something that would fit right in to Dark Souls! And don't worry about balance yet; just have fun creating! There will be plenty of time for that in the future 😉
Day 13: Two rival groups battle for a dreaming princess underneath waves in a ruined city. I fully plan on fleshing this out more, but for now, this is what I have . 🚣🏾
And here's a shorter list of nature spells to catch up to day 15. Going through this list it really feels like the high level spells are things that should be boss monster powers, or even entire adventures on their own. Letting characters do lower level magic constantly feels like the right choice though.
Day 16 and I've got a pretty good handle on how to categorize all the spells into the 3 groups and what I want to do to consolidate things (like all the many spells that are just damage) But it's time to stop reading spells for a while and get to some other rule systems that need smashing.
I love the idea of a flying dungeon! Even getting there in the first place is already enough to get a session going - and the Tenebrous Gazer is a very interesting take on the old mad wizard archetype.
Day 21 and Day 22. getting difficult as we close in on the end. Here's just the modified list of conditions to match all my previous edits, and a stat block for the first monster in the book =)
Life caught up with me. Between getting a job and moving, I finally had time to take a breather and sit in front of my computer. I don't have high hopes of catching up on 12-ish late entries, but I might as well try!
Here's my day 11 entry: The Beasthead - Sacrifice your body to take over an entire pack of animals, for as long as your shattered psyche can hold on to reality!
And here's day 12: Fortresshead - a weird-urban district of Law and Bureaucracy ripe for bounty-hunting work.
Day 23 and Day 24. not much time with family arriving for Xmas, so there are smaller sections on traveling speed and finally, resting and leveling up! Hard to believe I did something for every day. I should participate in more jams for motivation for sure =)
