Dungeon23: January Day 9

Exploration of the mausoleum continues, bringing fearsome visages in narrow corridors!

Area 9

The western wing of the mausoleum is dark, being well away from the light sources of the front braziers.

The narrow corridors in this area are cold and foreboding, making the area seem claustrophobic. Light sources in these narrow corridors only illuminate half the area with bright light that they normally do. The remaining illumination from such light sources is only dim light. The taint of evil brought to the mausoleum by the presence of the evil cult is pervading the area. This evil can be sensed in this area by those using a spell or magical ability that detects evil (such as a paladin's divine sense ability). Although the aura is only faint, it can have an effect on the weak-minded.

Fearsome Aura: Non-evil creatures who enter this area of narrow corridors must make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or suffer the frightened condition. The subject of their fear are the narrow corridors of the mausoleum itself. Thus, a creature affected by this fear will be unable to proceed down any narrow corridor (less than 10-feet-wide) while they are afflicted with this condition. While afflicted with the frightened condition, the creature will suffer 1d4 points of psychic damage each round as dissonant whispers and evil thoughts invade their mind. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the frightened condition on a success. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Transformers One Sourcebook!

Image
Renegade Games Studios just announced the preorder release of the Transformers One rpg sourcebook . https://renegadegamestudios.com/transformers-roleplaying-game-transformers-one-sourcebook I finally get to discuss this project, as I have been under an NDA for the last several months.  Only a week after I originally saw the film, I was contacted by Ben Heisler from Renegade Games Studios asking about my interest in doing some freelance writing for the TF rpg. I could not say "yes" fast enough. Transformers has always been my bag, since I discovered them. I was the perfect age and the absolute target demographic when they were released  in 1984. I was 7 years old and looking for a toy series to follow, as I was forbidden from following my original interest: Masters of the Universe. I had religiously-strict parents, the Satanic panic of the 80s was in full sing, and MOTU had magical and supernatural themes to it, making the show a "no-no" in terms of my being allowed ...

RANGE VIPER THREAT (GIJoe Essence20 rpg)

Image
I've been thinking about a scenario that involves the use of Ranger Vipers from GIJoe. However, looking through the various sourcebooks, Range Vipers have not yet been built as a Threat. As such, here is my Range Viper Threat Build, based on their classic toy card description and their upgraded accessories provided with their GIJoe Classified action figure. If you enjoy this content, please help support my friend Owen with his fight with cancer . Snail Nobra! Regular infantry would come back from a mission with hopes of getting hot meals and shower when they arrive at base.  Range-Vipers  are different. Their barracks is not a four-sided building with a roof, it's out there on the cold hard ground made of whatever makeshift materials they can find. Their meals are whatever edible walking or crawling critter that comes along, and their water comes from the nearest river and stream. They are only provided their uniforms and basic weapons. Whatever else they need they have to hun...
