I pull inspiration from all over the place! This particular doodad was found on a Subreddit of Reddit.com that's called "What's this thing?" where people post pictures of weird things they can't identify. Here's a link to the post in question!
So, my posting situation will be a bit difficult in the upcoming weeks. Ever hear of those sad stories with homeless vets on the holidays? That would be this guy. So, while I figure out how to stabilize my situation, posting will be difficult for me, Probably 1, maybe 2 posts a day I can get it. Sorry if this messes with the flow of things, and I hope to get back to a normal life so I can get to enjoy my simple hobbies soon.
Sorry to hear that Pork. We'll smoosh your ceremonial beanbag chair onto Flung's and they can keep each other warm while you deal with the IRLs.
Jeez, that sucks man. I hope things stabilize for you soon. Let us know if you're in trouble and need help, maybe we can roll for Aid IRL and boost you from a 6 to a 7-9 result.
In the meantime I'll DMPC you as well as I can, given that your necromantic expertise is being called upon right now.
Aw man. So sorry

Level up!
DM, I want to take another move from the fighter list (basically I don't particularly like the moves left to me in my 2-5 level range for barbarian)-Can I take this one?
The idea is that it has begun to gain power from the latent powers of Tanulth the Eater of All and the are revealing themselves now
Signature Weapon-My club
This is your weapon. There are many like it, but this one is yours. Your weapon is your best friend. It is your life. You master it as you master your life. Your weapon, without you, is useless. Without your weapon, you are useless. You must wield your weapon true.
Choose a base description, all are 2 weight:
Club
Choose the range that best fits your weapon:
Close
Choose two enhancements:
Knotted and filled with Tanulth's Rage. +1 damage, but +1 weight.
Glows in the presence of one type of creature, your choice.
Choose a look:
Ancient
DM how did you feel about the signature weapon idea?
Oh yeah, Barbarians have an advanced move called Appetite for Destruction that allows you to do this (copy a Fighter class move, that is.) Completely allowed, no problem. Also very thematically appropriate considering it's a bone of your dead god. What kind of creature does it grow in the presence of?
yea i wasn't sure about that. I figure it should be whatever the nastiest foe of Tanulth was, so one of the "goodly" races
1=Human
2=Elves
3=Dwarves
4=Gnomes
5=Hobbits
6=DM Choice! I find out later
Glows dark blue when humans are about
Nice. That'll come in handy.
oh also whenever you find something worthy of a question for the new session ask away
In lieu of a question in question format, give an in-universe explanation for why your bone would glow in the presence of humans. Make it good. :)
I also like to think Thunk's dreams might have been touched by the time-altering nature of this temple.
Such a cool, rich backstory making Thunk and Tanulth very believable with drive and motivation.
i can't wait for thunk to get to squish more bugs. the bug people hate him so very much
Good thinking, Smoog :)
Sees is waiting for the traps to be triggered and a Dwarf to stand between her and the rope ladder pit. If the zombies are waking kobolds up, then the rest of the party can get ready.
To be fair, the dwarf might get some sense that Fssst is hiding something too (an enormous urge to murder the dwarf and his allies).
Probably won't be too much longer before I invite him into the room to be slaughtered.
I am torn between wanting to negotiate our way out of a fight and killing them all.
Do we really want to leave anyone alive who can say to others, "You know, that pack of angry kobolds is coming. They are really pissed and plan on killing all who they see as responsible for the death of their God-Dragon."
-
I am leaning towards not announcing our existence so we can move around without being hunted all the time.
So far we have left no witnesses apart from the frogs who won't tell or be believed anyway.
Oh we should absolutely kill them. We just might not be able to get information from them after we do so. I'd love to know if the southern dwarves are formally aligned with the folks who killed Gorlaug.
I am curious to see why these dwarves care so much about Gorlaug's hoard. We should figure out if this is a Hobbit/Smaug thing.
Mooshy, my Exterminatus move only would really seem to work if my target can understand my threats. I'd like to take a shot at an in-universe explanation for why Hegh would speak common.
The mortals that stood in quivering tribute to Gorlaug would often send emissaries to Gorlaug's court to attempt to negotiate less draconian terms. Even when Gorlaug allowed these emissaries to live, he would not sully himself by speaking directly to them. This task was left to the members of the honor guard, trained since birth in Common so as to communicate with these lesser beings.
Thunk need no move to Thump!
That gives me something to work with Hegh, something that I can add to the worldbuilding process. I'll allow it, since communication is pretty vital to your class.
I heard that running text thru Google Translate a few times using different languages is a pretty good simulation of what garbled mangled speech might sound like.
I used English>Portuguese>Armenian>Bulgarian>English

So Grick's last exchange with the Dwarf might have sounded like this...
-
Grick steps into the view of the dwarf, "I listened thick legs, Grick am immortal, death and come back to it ... I stand by my first red, and his name with a vengeance.
I have to destroy this lack destroy the murderers gay Necromancer ... I do not have time to talk about what you're looking for?
I thought thick legs had to be simple and honest people. They are nothing but lies stories.“
Grick turns and looks at Sees-Death," In my talks with you," he tells the stout legs before bellowing "Sees-Death, is negotiating with the dwarf, the thing we have, and we want that information known.”
thats cool
Starscream and Palpatine are totes gonna get us all killed.
One at a time.
In ascending order.
According to evilness.

Ash and blood whip through a raking wind around a decimated battleground. Two lone figures, small but stark against the burning sky, stand at the center of the decimation. One, a female Kobold, disfigured with corrupted dragon's blood, small wings sliding through the folds of her ornate vestments. At the motion of one claw, a blue dragon whelp alights on the ground beside her.
Facing her stands a male Kobold fully enclosed in hasping machinery and buzzing coils. The pull of a lever levels a plasma cannon at the opposing two figures. The wind changes direction and the fogs recedes, revealing the bodies of other Kobolds which litter the ground.
The male Kobold shouts over the gale. "We were friends once!"
"We were never friends, Artificer, and that's the problem, isn't it? You never knew! All those times, success at your fingertips, only to have it whisked away, like a carrot on a string?"
"This ends here, witch!"
The cannon jerks wide at the last second, burning a hole in the side of a mountain.
"Violence, at this stage? How barbaric! You'll hurt my feelings, oh my brother! Gojira doesn't like when my feelings get hurt." The whelp spits and blue lightning snaps and arcs around its mouth.

"Violence? Yes! Violence is all we have ever known.
And besides, you never had any feelings to begin with let alone to be hurt.
So let's not pretend you are fooling anyone with your pity party.
-
I knew you were never really helping us, ANY of us.
But just as carrying more rocks in one's backpack makes one stronger,
I used your minor hindrances to grow stronger still."
-
no roll needed for a +1 to Daily Charge Battery
-
Then suddenly, the dragon pup's lightening arcs across the distance.
To the female kobold's surprise it is immediately absorbed by the artifact armor that surrounds the angry male kobold.
-
"Fool, my equipment runs on ELECTRICITY!"
-
no roll needed for a +1 to Daily Charge Battery
-
And with that the metal machine glows with pulsating energy and rockets into the air, trailing a ribbon of steam and music off towards the setting sun.
-
The sound of fury....
I don't know wtf is going on but it's pretty badass O_O
I don't think the Thumps will align. Thunk and Hegh can commence their shortsighted massacre whenever they'd like. Sees will stay perched on top of the temple, aiding and waiting for an opportune time to start blasting the temple.
Shortsighted!? Pshaw
If I'm correct, there are seven, pony-sized, semi-intelligent carnivorous bugs down there. It'll be a sight.
You can admit it. That leap was impressive.
The Pinball Wizard strikes again!
I feel like the dice have been really nice to me so far...it's gonna turn and turn bad
Real bad
G.W.S.
Take care my friend.
There but for the grace of God go I.
Get well soon, Mooshy, but we won't wold it against you if you take your time.
Merry Christmas All!
Happy Holidays alla youse!
Merry Christmas guys, belated :)
A while ago I mentioned that I'm running a "fantasy space western with magic" game using the Dungeon World system. We now have 3 core players, including Moosh and Sees. If anyone else might be interested, feel free to send me a PM.
awww yeah
Sweet. I think I'm at capacity atm

If any of you were curious as to what a game DMed by me might look like, mine is currently full with 13 characters, but it's here.
It filled up over the xmas weekend or I would have posted here...
Yes, it's a girly game. *flips hair*
13!!!!
They wouldn't stop making awesome characters!
The game is very rules-light and friendly towards party-splitting.
Okay, I am definitely following that.
