I am working on the Framework for a Rules Light Sci Fi RPG.
I wrote a % Based one years ago and have resurrected and destroyed it many times. Sci Fi RPGs tend to be overcomplicated and such. Mine is kinda dated in technology as I saw it in the 80s and 90s.
I want one that can do all genres.
I want one that is simple. I like % systems. SO here is the initial framework.
Four attributes. Average is 25%. Roll 5f10 each one.
Physique - How healthy and strong you are. Uses: Resistance, Hit Points, Physical Combat.
Reflex - How quick, agile, and coordinated you are. Uses: Shooting, Dodging, Initiative, Piloting.
Technology - How technologically adept you are. Uses: Science, Races, Planets.
Interaction - Your personality and leadership ability. Uses: Command, Con, Seduce.
Each attribute also has a descriptor to give the character a story.
Ace Starhole
Physique 45 Tough Guy and Trained Soldier.
Reflex 49 Hotshot pilot and expert marksman.
Technology 23 Not a rocket scientist.
Interaction 40 A smooth guy ladies man.
That's all I got, going to see the Hobbit...
This is a blog dedicated to the simplicity of the Old School Renaissance of Role Playing Games and the Fusion of Modern Role Playing Game Ideas.

Is the BlogOSRsphere dying off?
Is the BlogOSRsphere dying off?
It seems to be waning a bit. Oh there are people who post quite a few times a week but not like it was just a few years ago. It is kinda nice to be able to keep up with the blog post though.
It is very much alive though!
Some of the main players have stopped posting or have slowed down to a mere trickle. Some have fallen to scandals or have made scandals.
Still every day there is at least something interestingly posted for the love of the game.
I know that I am here for the long haul whatever that is even though my blog is one of the least of the OSR blogs.
It seems that the OSR has not really moved forward at all if you compare the post of Chicago Wiz way back in 2011.
Does something needs to happen publishing wise to get the OSR ball rolling again? I don't think that is ever going to happen (save the release of Adventures Dark and Deep but that's just me getting excited about a product that I have yet to buy) again.
People are still going to publish Retro Clones (Neo-Clone, Simulacrums, Fantasy Heartbreakers, etc.) but the chance for glory has passed.
I hope to be proven wrong on that statement but we shall see...
People seem to be very happy with the RPGs they are playing.
What needs to happen that would re-excite (Like it was a few years ago!) the BlogOSRsphere? I think people getting out there and playing and posting about it.
Some sort of organized play starting on a local level and then possibly becoming state, regional, and then possibly national and posting about it.
TARGA needs to come back.
Some really good ground breaking home made modules and house rules!
New race and class options!
Wait, that still is going on !
In my area, RPG Gaming seems dead though rumors of groups existing in secretive insular little clans. Old School Gaming locally has a few small sparks but they never seem to ignite. If there is an OLD campaign that has existed since the late 70s and early 80s in my area I don't know about it.
What to do? What to do?

Superions Super Hero RPG
Are you sick of Super Powered games that take hours and
hours to make a character and huge amounts of work running
a Supers RPG? Then fear not for here is Superions! A rules
lite Supers RPG that is easy to run and easy to play.
In the ancient times far out beyond space and time the
Superions were born. Not of one race but from a strange
mutating energy. The Energy Force called Superion. The
force can manifest in technology or in powers of great help
or destruction. Their battle is ancient. They have been on
our world for millions of years. Every planet Superion
touches is forever changed. Such as the story of the
reality of earth know as Earth Superion! It is because of
them that our technology is far greater than it is Earth
Prime. Also the influence of Superion Energy has allowed
the solar system and the galaxy to be far more populated.
There are the Superions known as the Infernals. They are
the ones that cause great evil upon the world. They come in
many forms yet unlike the Surpurnals they are twisted and
dark! Whenever they meet a battle is sure to happen for the
Infernals believe that all of reality is theirs to rule and
subjugate.
All Superion Players start out with 10D6 HD AC 10, MAC 10,
+1 to hit, 1d4 punch, 10 MPH and 4 + 1d6 Power Points.
Your Power Point score is how many times you roll on the D200 chart.
That's all there is on creating a totally random Superion Character so you can start playing in minutes.
You will see that there may be strange combinations of powers, skills, and devices.

Back to the Dungeon ZINE for LL/AEC Issue 4
Well it appears that I have yet another issue of the Back to the Dungeon Zine for Labyrinth Lord/ Advance Edition Companion.
There is yet another level of The Black Stairs and a few articles of interest.
Hope your characters survive this dungeon.
If you play it then post your stories.

Reedit of the Back to the Dungeon RPG PC Guide Book 1
Hello everyone! Long time no post!
Okay here is my first significant editing of Book 1.
I did not realize how bad some of it was as I had put myself on a schedule to just release a rough draft no matter what.
My current job at 80+ hours a week has slowed down enough where I have gotten time to go over my documents.

Hopefully it is a clearer easier read with larger size 14 fonts it should be.
The other books are on their way, I just don't have very much free time right now.

RPG Designed Like a Computer Game.
Just throwing around a few ideas while I am working my 80+ hours a week.
An RPG set up just like a computer game.
One starts out with 100 Hit Points and a story.
Choose a roll, class, or skills or just choose weapons and go start adventuring or killing monsters.
Either a generic 50% chance to hit or each weapon has a % chance to hit.
Preset movement rates.
Various enemies and such.
I am just too tired to continue.

Some old PCs from the 80's
Here are a few of my old Basic D&D characters from very long ago.
This is my very first character from back around 1981. Yes I did the dork thing and named the character after myself. |
Here is one of my other characters. Tarn the bowman. Let me say the DM did not play around and if the dice killed you, you died right there with no mercy. |
Ah poor grey wolf. Tried to drag away a dying fellow player and take his stuff and was killed by metagamers who could not possibly have know what I was going to do but cheated like a bitch |
Hopefully I can get my old DM to post some more stuff. He is kinda off the gamer track in these days. I am sure if there were enough interested comments he would send me some more stuff.

Back to the Ryth!
Ah the Ryth Chronicles!
What an amazing glimpse back to the dawn of role playing games. I started reading it hard last week as my job affords me time to do so when things are going well.
Rather primitive gaming was displayed at first, but as they progressed it seemed to turn into something more special. The characters began to become well characters. Not just dungeon dwelling hack and slash mindless chimps but somebody in that world.
The game mastering became more advanced as well. The stories and dungeon became more crafted and they became more detailed.
Multiple DMs and around 40 players.
This document really proves one old school belief wrong. Magic Users can become powerful and modern day Magic User players are crybabies. Like my sixth level Magic User who died at his own hand with a fireball like another did in Ryth, I worked for my levels and it was HARD.
What I am surprised about is the LACK of response towards The Ryth Chronicles. A few very WISE people realized what this document was and is but the rest, crickets.
Can a campaign and a zine be made like this in Southwest Louisiana? Once I am through with this huge turnaround I am going to find out.
I am going to use LL/AEC for the rules and my Back to the Dungeon Zine for the setting. Hopefully a few people decide to join in and become Game Masters.

Swordpunk: The Olde Realm
My other blog is called The Olde Realm. Imagine giant Renaissance cities with a touch of steampunk filled with millions of desperate people. Urban fantasy in a grim world. New Weird. The nobles are deceitful, life is cheap, and you make it the best way you can. Dangerous wildernesses filled with terrible ruins and foul beast.
Inspired by New Weird literature, Ancient Rome, Ancient Babylon, Religious History, Occult History, A touch of Steampunk, Thief (Dark Project and Metal Age), The Dark Mod, The Wheel of Time, Warhammer, and from recent stuff: The Game of Thrones, The Borgias, Assassin's Creed, Divinci's Demons, and many other sources.
It is an RPG where the characters are not the stars, the Olde Realm is.
Not a D&D clone but a % based system where one can create a very detailed character in a very short time.
Take a look if you are not easily offended.

Back to the Dungeon RPG: A Few Questions
Back to the Dungeon RPG: A Few Questions
Should I get rid of the "Roll 20 and something cool happens" feature?
Should I get rid of it for some classes?
Should I alter it to function as a list of things/suggestions that could happen per class/subclass/role?
Should I make it more like it functions in the Quick Primer for Old School Gaming by Matthew Finch?
Should I make the spell list longer or make it another supplement?
Should I streamline the Races? No Attribute Modifiers and less +1s and such. Less rules and more story?
Although a few thousand people have taken a look I have gotten very few comments. The comments I did get were fairly positive. What do you think of BttDRPG?

A D300 Treasure Table.
Screw multiple treasure tables. I took all of my treasures and stuck them all together on a D300 no rhyme or reason chart for BttDRPG.
So how do you like it? I love it.
1. Robe of Eyes: This valuable garment appears to be a normal robe until it is put on. Its wearer is able to see in all directions at the same moment due to scores of visible, magical eyelike patterns that adorn the robe. She also gains 120-foot darkvision. The robe of eyes all forms of invisible or ethereal things within 120 feet. Very sensitive to blinding attacks.
2. Amulet of Health: This amulet is a golden disk on a chain. It usually bears the image of a lion or other powerful animal. The amulet grants the wearer an enhancement bonus to Constitution of +2, +4, or +6.
3. Amulet of Mighty Fists: This amulet grants an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 on attack and damage rolls with unarmed attacks and natural weapons.
4. Amulet of Natural Armor: This amulet, usually crafted from bone or beast scales, toughens the wearer’s body and flesh, giving him an enhancement bonus to his natural armor bonus of from +1 to +5, depending on the kind of amulet.
5. Amulet of Proof against Detection and Location: This silver amulet protects the wearer from scrying and magical location. If a divination spell is attempted against the wearer, the caster of the divination must succeed on test versus the wearers Intelligence Modifier plus 10 plus 1/2 level.
6. Amulet of the Planes: This device usually appears to be a black circular amulet, although any character looking closely at it sees a dark, moving swirl of color. The amulet allows its wearer to shift to different Planes. However, this is a difficult item to master. The user must make an Intelligence check in order to get the amulet to take her to the plane (and the specific location on that plane) that she wants. The user must have a map or know where they are going.
7. Armor +1 Up to + 5 Maximum. Normally +1 every 2 to 4 levels. Choose Armor and give a bonus. Some armors also have other magical powers. The higher the bonus the less the armor weighs and this will be determined by the Game Master.
8. Armor +2
9. Armor +3
10. Armor +4
11. Armor +5
12. Armor Demonic: Possessed by a spirit or demon, with effects to be determined by the Referee
13. Armor Elemental Resistance: A suit of armor or a shield with this property normally has an elemental motif. The armor absorbs the first 5 points of elemental damage per attack that the wearer would normally take. Only one element must be chosen such as Fire, Ice, Acid, Sonic, etc.
14. Armor Elemental Resistance, Greater: As elemental resistance, except it absorbs the first 15 points of electricity damage per attack.
15. Armor Elemental Resistance, Improved: As elemental resistance, except it absorbs the first 10 points of electricity damage per attack.
16. Armor Elemental: +1 armor that is surrounded by Element. These elements deal 1d6 damage to melee attackers.
17. Armor Ethereal: +3 plate mail that also allows the wearer to become once per day insubstantial and incorporeal 50 times, at which time it reverts to normal +3 plate mail. In ethereal form, the wearer cannot be hit and cannot attack (unless the opponent is ethereal).
18. Armor Fortification: This armor prevents any critical attack from doing extra damage.
19. Armor Ghost Touch: This armor allows one to defend against incorporeal attacks as well.
20. Armor Glamored: Armor can appear to be normal clothing at will.
21. Armor Invulnerability: This armor can protect you from 5 damage (or more if powerful) unless magic is used.
22. Armor Shadow : This armor allows stealth at +5 and +10 if hiding in a shadow. Only for soft armors.
23. Armor Silent Moves: This armor is well oiled and magically constructed so that it not only makes little sound, but it dampens sound around it. It provides a +5 competence bonus on its wearer’s Stealth checks.
24. Armor Slick: Slick armor seems coated at all times with a slightly greasy oil. It allows two rolls against being grabbed.
25. Armor Spell Resistance: This property grants the armor’s wearer spell resistance while the armor is worn. The spell resistance will be 10 plus 1/2 the level or HD of the creator depending on the armor.
26. Armor Undead Controlling: The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this property may control up to his HD x 2 of undead per day. At dawn each day, the wearer loses control of any undead still under his sway. Armor or a shield with this ability appears to be made of bone; this feature is entirely decorative and has no other effect on the armor.
27. Armor Wild: The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability preserves his armor bonus (and any enhancement bonus) while in a wild shape. Armor and shields with this ability usually appear to be made covered in leaf patterns.
28. Bag of Devouring: Functions as a bag of holding, but devours any item placed into it within 1d4+1 hours.
29. Bag of Holding: This appears to be a common cloth sack about 2 feet by 4 feet in size. The bag of holding opens into a nondimensional space: Its inside is larger than its outside dimensions. They can normally hold 1000 lbs.
30. Bag of Tricks: This small sack appears normal and empty but once you reach into it it pulls out a beast equal to your level. There will be 1d6 beast each bag. They serve for 10 days then die unless they are killed before.
31. Bead of Force: This small black sphere appears to be a lusterless pearl. You can throw it up to 60 feet with no range penalties. Upon sharp impact, the bead explodes, sending forth a burst that deals 5d6 points of force damage to all creatures within a 10-foot radius.
32. Belt of Dwarvenkind: This belt confers all powers and abilities of a dwarf.
33. Belt of Giant Strength: This wide belt is made of thick leather and studded with iron. The belt adds to the wearer’s Strength score in the form of an enhancement bonus of +4 or +6.
34. Belt, Monk’s: This simple rope belt, when wrapped around a character’s waist, confers great ability in unarmed combat. The wearer’s AC and unarmed damage is treated as a monk of five levels higher.
35. Blessed Book: This well-made tome is always of small size, typically no more than 12 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 1 inch thick. All such books are durable, waterproof, bound with iron overlaid with silver, and locked. A wizard can fill the 1,000 pages of a blessed book with spells without paying the 100 gp per page material cost. This book is never found as randomly generated treasure with spells already inscribed in it.
36. Boat, Folding: A folding boat looks like a small wooden box―about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. It can be used to store items like any other box. If a command word is given, however, the box unfolds itself to form a boat 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet in depth. A second command word causes it to unfold to a ship 24 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. Any objects formerly stored in the box now rest inside the boat or ship. In its smaller form, the boat has one pair of oars, an anchor, a mast, and a lateen sail. In its larger form, the boat has a deck, single rowing seats, five sets of oars, a steering oar, an anchor, a deck cabin, and a mast with a square sail. The boat can hold four people comfortably, while the ship carries fifteen with ease. A third word of command causes the boat or ship to fold itself into a box once again.
37. Boots of Elvenkind: These soft boots enable the wearer to move quietly in virtually any surroundings, granting a +5 competence bonus on stealth checks.
38. Boots of Levitation: On command, these leather boots allow the wearer to levitate.
39. Boots of Speed: As a free action, the wearer can click her boot heels together, enabling her to act as though affected by a haste for up to 10 rounds each day. The duration of the haste need not be consecutive rounds.
40. Boots of Striding and Springing: These boots increase the wearer’s base land speed by 10 feet. In addition to this striding ability (considered an enhancement bonus), these boots allow the wearer to make great leaps. She can jump with a +5 bonus.
41. Boots of Teleportation: Any character wearing this footwear may teleport times per day, exactly as if he had cast the spell of the same name.
42. Boots of the Winterlands: This footgear bestows many powers upon the wearer. First, he is able to travel across snow at his normal speed, leaving no tracks. The boots also enable him to travel at normal speed across the most slippery ice (horizontal surfaces only, not vertical or sharply slanted ones) without falling or slipping. Finally, boots of the winterlands the wearer, as if he were affected by an endure elements .
43. Boots, Winged: These boots appear to be ordinary footgear. On command, the boots sprout wings at the heel and let the wearer fly, without having to maintain concentration, as if affected by a fly . He can fly three times day for up to 5 minutes per flight.
44. Bottle of Air: This item appears to be a normal glass bottle with a cork. When taken to any airless environment it retains air within it at all times, continually renewing its contents. This means that a character can draw air out of the bottle to breathe. The bottle can even be shared by multiple characters who pass it around. Breathing out of the bottle is a standard action, but a character so doing can then act for as long as she can hold her breath.
45. Bowl of Commanding Water Elementals: This large container is usually fashioned from blue or green semiprecious stone. It is about 1 foot in diameter, half that deep, and relatively fragile. When the bowl is filled with fresh water, and certain words are spoken, a water elemental appears. The summoning words require 1 full round to speak. Only one elemental can be called at a time. A new elemental requires the bowl to be filled with new water, which cannot happen until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain).
46. Bracelet of Friends: This silver charm bracelet has four charms upon it when created. The owner may designate one person known to him to be keyed to one charm. (This designation takes a standard action, but once done it lasts forever or until changed.) When a charm is grasped and the name of the keyed individual is spoken, that person is called to the spot (a standard action) along with his or her gear, as long as the owner and the called person are on the same plane. The keyed individual knows who is calling, and the bracelet of friends functions on willing travelers. Once a charm is activated, it disappears. Charms separated from the bracelet are worthless.
47. Bracers of Archery: These wristbands look like normal protective wear. The bracers empower the wearer to use any bow. she gains a +2 competence bonus on attack rolls and a +1 competence bonus on damage rolls whenever using that type of bow. Both bracers must be worn for the magic to be effective.
48. Bracers of Armor: These items appear to be wrist or arm guards. They surround the wearer with an invisible but tangible field of force, granting him an armor bonus of +1 to +8, just as though he were wearing armor. Both bracers must be worn for the magic to be effective.
49. Brazier of Commanding Fire Elementals: This device appears to be a normal container for holding burning coals. When a fire is lit in the brazier and the proper summoning words are spoken, a fire elemental appears. The summoning words require 1 full round to speak Only one elemental can be summoned at a time. A new elemental requires a new fire, which cannot be lit until after the first elemental disappears (is dispelled, dismissed, or slain).
50. Brooch of Shielding: This appears to be a piece of silver or gold jewelry used to fasten a cloak or cape. In addition to this mundane task, it can absorb magic missiles the sort generated by spell or spell-like ability. A brooch can absorb up to 101 points of damage from magic missiles it melts and becomes useless.
51. Broom of Flying: This broom is able to fly through the air at the speed of 40 feet.
52. Candle of Truth: This white tallow candle, when burned, calls into place a zone of truth (Will DC 13 negates) in a 5-foot radius centered on the candle. The zone lasts for 1 hour, as the candle burns. If the candle is snuffed before that time, the effect is canceled and the candle ruined.

The colors create the equivalent of a gaze attack with a 30-foot range. Those who look at the wearer are dazed for 1d4+1 rounds (Wis DC 16 negates). This is a mind-affecting pattern effect. Every round of continuous scintillation of the robe gives the wearer better concealment. The miss chance on attacks against the wearer starts at 10% and increases by 10% each round until it reaches 50% (total concealment). The robe illuminates a 30-foot radius continuously. The effect can be used no more than a total of 10 rounds per day.

Spell resistance 18.+4 resistance bonus on all saves. +2 enhancement bonus on caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance. If a white robe is donned by an evil character, she immediately gains three negative levels. The reverse is true with respect to a black robe donned by a good character. An evil or good character who puts on a gray robe, or a neutral character who dons either a white or black robe, gains two negative levels. While these negative levels never result in lost levels, they remain as long as the garment is worn and cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells).
224. Robe of Useful Items: This appears to be an unremarkable robe, but a character who dons it notes that it is adorned with 1d10 small cloth patches of various shapes.

It can unfasten itself and return in the same manner. A rope of climbing can be commanded to knot or unknot itself. This causes large knots to appear at 1-foot intervals along the rope.

243. Rope of Entanglement: A rope of entanglement looks just like any other hempen rope about 30 feet long. Upon command, the rope lashes forward 20 feet or upward 10 feet to entangle a victim. An entangled creature can break free with a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 20 Dexterity check. The rope has AC 18, 12 hit points.

At the option of the Referee, it might be recharged using a Symbol of Insanity spell, but with a 5% chance per charge that the item will be destroyed.

This allows him a +10 competence bonus on Stealth. The wearer can adopt the appearance of another creature at will. All creatures acquainted with and friendly to the wearer see him normally.
219. Robe of Bones: This handy item functions much like a robe of useful items for the serious necromancer. It appears to be an unremarkable robe, but a character who dons it notes that it is adorned with small embroidered figures representing undead creatures. Only the wearer of the robe can see the embroidery and recognize them for the creatures they become, and detach them. One figure can be detached each round. Detaching a figure causes it to become an actual undead creature (see the list below). The skeleton or zombie is not under the control of the wearer of the robe, but may be subsequently commanded, rebuked, turned, or destroyed. A robe of bones always has 4d6 HD embroidered figures of each of the undead.
220. Robe of Feeblemindedness: Anyone donning this cloak has his intelligence reduced to that of a garden snail.
221. Robe of Scintillating Colors: The wearer of this robe can cause the garment to display a shifting pattern of incredible hues, color after color cascading from the upper part of the robe to the hem in sparkling rainbows of dazzling light. The colors daze those near the wearer, conceal the wearer, and illuminate the surroundings. It takes 1 full round after the wearer speaks the command word for the colors to start flowing on the robe. The colors create the equivalent of a gaze attack with a 30-foot range. Those who look at the wearer are dazed for 1d4+1 rounds (Wis DC 16 negates). This is a mind-affecting pattern effect. Every round of continuous scintillation of the robe gives the wearer better concealment. The miss chance on attacks against the wearer starts at 10% and increases by 10% each round until it reaches 50% (total concealment). The robe illuminates a 30-foot radius continuously. The effect can be used no more than a total of 10 rounds per day.
222. Robe of Stars: This garment is typically black or dark blue and embroidered with small white or silver stars. The robe has three magical powers. It enables its wearer to travel physically to the Astral Plane, along with all that she is wearing or carrying. It gives its wearer a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws. Its wearer can use up to six of the embroidered stars on the chest portion of the robe as +5 daggers.
223. Robe of the Archmagi: This normal-appearing garment can be white (01–45 on d%, good alignment), gray (46–75, neither good nor evil alignment), or black (76–100, evil alignment). Its wearer, if an arcane spellcaster, gains the following powers. A +5 armor bonus to AC. Spell resistance 18.+4 resistance bonus on all saves. +2 enhancement bonus on caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance. If a white robe is donned by an evil character, she immediately gains three negative levels. The reverse is true with respect to a black robe donned by a good character. An evil or good character who puts on a gray robe, or a neutral character who dons either a white or black robe, gains two negative levels. While these negative levels never result in lost levels, they remain as long as the garment is worn and cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells).
224. Robe of Useful Items: This appears to be an unremarkable robe, but a character who dons it notes that it is adorned with 1d10 small cloth patches of various shapes. Only the wearer of the robe can see these patches, recognize them for what items they become, and detach them. One patch can be detached each round. Detaching a patch causes it to become an actual item, as indicated below.

241. Rods of Withering: Hits as a +1 mace and damages equals Strength and Constitution damage equally. On a critical an entire level is lost.
242. Rope of Climbing: A 60-foot-long rope of climbing is no thicker than a wand, but it is strong enough to support 3,000 pounds. Upon command, the rope snakes forward, upward, downward, or in any other direction at 10 feet per round, attaching itself securely wherever its owner desires. It can unfasten itself and return in the same manner. A rope of climbing can be commanded to knot or unknot itself. This causes large knots to appear at 1-foot intervals along the rope. Knotting shortens the rope to a 50-foot length until the knots are untied but lowers the DC Strength checks while using it by 10. A creature must hold one end of the rope when its magic is invoked.
243. Rope of Entanglement: A rope of entanglement looks just like any other hempen rope about 30 feet long. Upon command, the rope lashes forward 20 feet or upward 10 feet to entangle a victim. An entangled creature can break free with a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 20 Dexterity check. The rope has AC 18, 12 hit points. The rope repairs damage to itself at a rate of 1 point per 5 minutes, but if a rope of entanglement is severed (all 12 hit points lost to damage), it is destroyed.
244. Salve of Slipperiness: This is a totally slippery substance that last a few hours.
245. Scabbard of Keen Edges: This scabbard is fashioned from cured leather and fine silver. It can shrink or enlarge to accommodate any knife, dagger, sword, or similar weapon up to and including a greatsword. Up to three times per day on command, the scabbard casts keen edge on any blade placed within it.
246. Scarab of Insanity: This is a carving of a scarab-beetle, or perhaps the petrified remains of a real one. When the scarab is displayed, all creatures with 9 or fewer hit dice, within a radius of 30 ft, fall into temporary insanity lasting for 2 hours. Creatures with 10+ hit dice still do not receive a saving throw, but have a 1 in 4 chance to overcome the scarab’s insidious influence. The scarab may be used 12 times, after which it crumbles to dust. At the option of the Referee, it might be recharged using a Symbol of Insanity spell, but with a 5% chance per charge that the item will be destroyed.
247. Scarab of Protection: This device appears to be a silver medallion in the shape of a beetle. If it is held for 1 round, an inscription appears on its surface letting the holder know that it is a protective device. The scarab’s possessor gains spell resistance 20. The scarab can also absorb energy-draining attacks, death effects, and negative energy effects. Upon absorbing twelve such attacks, the scarab turns to powder and is destroyed.
248. Scarab, Golembane: This beetle-shaped pin enables its wearer to detect any golem within 60 feet, although he must concentrate (a standard action) in order for the detection to take place. A scarab enables its possessor to combat golems with weapons, unarmed attacks, or natural weapons and do double damage.

Staves/Wands become useless when they reach zero charges, but can be recharged by casting the spell into the wand.

The spoon can produce sufficient gruel each day to feed up to four humans.

299. Well of Many Worlds: This strange, interdimensional device looks just like a portable hole. Anything placed within it is immediately cast to another world―a parallel world, another planet, or a different plane (chosen randomly). If the well is moved, the random factor again comes into play. It can be picked up, folded, or rolled, just as a portable hole can be. Objects from the world the well touches can come through the opening just as easily as from the initiating place. (It is a two-way portal.)
300. Wings of Flying: A pair of these wings might appear to be nothing more than a plain cloak of old, black cloth, or they could be as elegant as a long cape of blue feathers. When the wearer speaks the command word, the cloak turns into a pair of bat or bird wings that empower her to fly with a speed of 60 ft.

Coming July 31st these guys are having a Kickstarter for yet another episode!

Back to the Dugeon RPG All in One Rulebook, Refomatted, Still is Rough Form
Well I have done a little bit of editing on BttDRPG. Reformatted it into a larger print and put it on a one document form.
The BttDRPG has turned out far better than I thought.
We have been play testing it on and off and the spellcasters don't seem to be overpowered with my spellpoint version. I may have to weaken the spells a bit.
The class "ROLL a 20 and cool stuff happens" satisfied the modern gamers and the old school gamers as well. In fact that has been the most well received aspect of BttDRPG.
It seems that many of the issues that the old schoolers had with the older versions of the game have been satisfied.
Class/Race Restrictions
Level Limits
Worthless Low Level Spell Casters
All poisons being instant Death
Non Unified Mechanic
Rather Complicated Attribute Bonuses in the Advanced Version
Old Schoolisms I won't be getting rid of and New Schoolims I won't be adding...
Easy to die if you are foolhardy
You WON'T HAVE to know the rules to play
You won't have to learn large amounts of rules to Game Master
The Six Attributes
The Basic Bonuses
Ability to totally customize your world
Ability to personalize your Character
No Skill List only a background story
No Feats ever
Game Master Fiat
I may have another person Game Mastering my game in a few weeks AND I may also gain an editor as well.
It is a slow process but I don't have a schedule.
What I hope to achieve is a (local) large group(s), sharing the same setting, multiple GMs, large pool of players, and possibly an old school type zine news letter. Kinda like what happened with the Ryth Chronicles.

Labrinth Arcana for LL/AEC
What if there was a "Labyrinth Arcana" book with optional rules such as a
few extra subclasses and subraces that allowed for a few more choices.
Kinda what Unearthed Arcana did for AD&D.
What would you like to see in a book or file such as that?
One rule would to be not to mess with the LL + AEC rules as they are written but to give more options by additions.
Another race of Elves called Wood Elves that can be Rangers 10 or another class like a Warder.
A race of Dwarves called Silver Dwarves that can be MUs 8. Very rare and optional. Dwarven weapons that can be used two handed with a short frame.Such as the ones put in Issue 3 of the Back to the Dungeon Zine for LL/AEC.
So if we were to make a "Labyrinth Arcana" what would the book contain?
Barbarians and Bards?
What do you want to add?
Here is a Drow for the AEC
Requirements: INT 9
Ability Modifiers: DEX +1, CON -1
Ability Min/Max: STR 3/18 (16), DEX 7/19, CON 6/18
INT 8/18, WIS 3/18, CHA 3/18
Also known as dark elves, drow are a depraved and evil demonworshipping subterranean offshoot. White is the most common hair color among drow, with ebony skin and eyes a vivid red. Like other elves, they tend to be 5' tall and slight of build.
A Player Character is most likely going to be a Drow outcast. Never allowed to go home and never accepted in the civilized world.
They have 120" infravision, and if abruptly exposed to light are blinded for 1 rounds. In addition, when in bright light including sunlight they suffer -2 to hit and -2 to DEX.
Drow have keen hearing and are surprised only on 1 on 1d8; they move silently with 90% efficiency in leather armor or the special Drow armor and in a group made up of all Drow. If not then it is only a +20% to Move Silently.
Drow typically attack with short swords or afar with darts which are coated with poison. Victims must save versus poison at -4 or fall unconscious for 1d4 turns. Player character Drow start out with 1d6 darts but cannot replace them.
Drow can use the following spell-like abilities once per day: dancing lights, darkness, and faerie fire.
May use two light weapons without penalty
All drow save versus magical effects with a +2.
In addition, drow of 4th level or higher of any class have the following spell-like abilities once per day: detect magic, know alignment, and levitate.
Finally, female drow are more powerful than males, and once per day have the abilities of clairvoyance, detect lie, dispel magic, and suggestion.
Adjustment
Pick Locks -5%
Pick Pockets +5%
Move Silently +20%
Hide in Shadows +10%

*Elves receive a better dice range for hearing noises. For example,
1st level elven thieves hear noises on a 1-3, and at 9th level it is 1-5.
Hear noise may never be better than 1-5.

Super Hero Concepts:I need your vast blogger, comic, and nerd knowledge!
Here are a few Super
Hero Concepts and a few suggested skills, powers or whatever.
