D100 List – Their Dying Breath
Suggested by reader Nick Wright, I just had to do it. You have felled the big-bad-evil-doer. But then what? He just lays there? She says nothing? No, we must have a dramatic death! It is a moral imperative!
Here’s a list of actions and phrases you can drop in as the enemy dies. They may be meaningless ways for your NPC to mess with the players’ heads. It may be the lead to the next adventure. Your call. Remember to change any language to make it appropriate to your setting. Change “you” to “thou” or “thee” and stuff like that.
Remember, you can always re-roll if the result makes no sense.
Photo-Realistic Stone Maps
Based on some free stone textures I stumbled upon today whilst browsing around.
Figured some people want some realistic looking terrains for their games and these are based on photos or pretty close approximations of photos.
I’ll warn you now, they are big and need a good printer to look right. If you do print them, I suggest lamination or contact paper to keep them in good shape so you don’t have to print them again.
Photo-Realistic Stone Floors (1416)D100 List – Descriptors
Being able to describe an object, not just what it is, but what it looks like, is the difference between an OK game and a good game. Besides, many players have picked up the trick that if you (the game master) have taken the time to describe something, it’s important. Here’s a little tool to help you make everything have a description.
Feel free to use this in conjunction with the colors list I posted awhile back.
Stone Kingdom: Gears
It’s been far too long since I put a new download up, so here’s a quick one. Gears allows you to build large-scale machines for your dungeons, castles, and factories.
One of my favorites on this one is the “open trap” tile. Pretty cool looking. Check it out on page 3 of the PDF.
Stone Kingdom: Gears (1717)Back into the Mines!
Right now, I know there are 33 guys in Chile that would probably rather fight a Great Wyrm Red Dragon than get back into a mine, but after seeing their harrowing ordeal and joyous rescue, I thought this set might be something gamers might want to see again.
The entire ordeal brings to mind several possible encounters and a complete adventure. Sure, some races are equipped, nay, bred for life underground, some are not. In fact, some characters and races will have adverse reactions to prolonged time underground.
Stone Kingdom – Sunstroke: The Shifting Sands of Al-Hakam
New desert dungeon tiles! The original set was pretty hastily thrown together as part of a larger 40×40 adventure map. This one is a full set with tile floors, stone floors, and desert sand.
It’s also a hybrid set, featuring both 2d and 3d paper models. There are foldable paper models of stairs, platforms, and an obelisk (with three different styles).
I know it’s tooting my own horn, but this is a pretty cool set and will fit with any Egyptian (or similar theme). Anyone out there still gaming with the Al-Qadim setting for Forgotten Realms?
Pulp fiction lovers can go all Indiana Jones with this set. It will also work for all the Prince of Persia knock-off games I envision coming after the new movie hits theaters this summer.
Print and cut carefully, and don’t forget to send me your photos!
