Yeeeharrrrr!!

This just in from 1000buffalo:

Howdy All!

My (late) entries for the 2008 Pacificon Game Expo are off, and - as noted in the subject line - both games will use the Microlite20 rules.

The entries haven't posted through yet, but should be appearing in the next few days. Both games are slated for 3-6 players with a 4 hour run time.

I'll be running a Sat, 3pm session - "A Gallery of Evil" based on the Paizo module of the same name.

Sunday, 3pm, will be "Legacy of the Savage Kings" based on the DDC module.

As follow-up from the Con, I expect the Microlite will get some discussion on an upcoming episode of my podcast, 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction, as I generally talk about games I've recently run and the like.

Thanks!

Brian

Sample Hook: You hear of a job posting by the local noble named Calum. He is seeking a person named Valanunthe, the race and sex of this humanoid is not been revealed. The bounty is 800 GP alive or 200 GP dead, you just need to return all this persons possessions. You could not get an audience with the Noble, and decide to go on the quest anyway. You track a humanoid to the abandoned silver mine a few miles outside town.

Gather Information: DC18: Valanunthe has the Amulet of Mighty Fists in their possession. Calum is an enthusiast for rare items dealing with martial arts or ancient weaponry, and this piece was a part of their private collection. DC20: Valanunthe is a Fem. Elf. DC25: The amulet was stolen from Valanunthe's family.

You can download the adventure here (along with all of bytor's other excellent adventures and contributions). Enjoy!

.... and likes it, a lot.

Thanks, Bruce!

(oh, and if you don't know just how prolific and downright awesome Bruce is as an author, here's his writing credits. When the Gamma World dude likes your
stuff, you're doing something right, eh?)

A heartfelt well done to contributors and players (and future players!) everywhere.

The m20 NPC Generator allows you to quickly generate many NPC characters with full stats and random class/race/level characteristics.

The generator is currently based on the following rulesets from the Macropedia:
- Core
- Expert (Grimstaff)
- Modern microlite20 (as of 5/21)

More rulesets from the Macropedia will be made available going forward.

You can select options to limit the generation to specific races, classes and level ranges.

In the shadows of an ancient city of towers whose name is forgotten, the village of Maplestreet has struggled along. The descendants of suburbanites, a once 3 block area of neighborhood has been secured into a well defended outpost community. Lawns and backyards have long since been converted to raising crops and for cattle, typically goats and mutant guinea pigs, and pigeons have become poultry. Maplestreet has been fortunate in regards to water, as the old city was designed with a gravity-driven water supply, so potable water is available for drinking, irrigation, and backyard pools became fisheries.

Cars and buses were long ago used to make defensive walls, with armored guard posts every 20 meters. Finder teams are sent into the city regularly seeking any useful items or artifacts for the community or as trade goods. Such excursions are dangerous, as the city is far from being abandoned. Trader teams are sent to other friendly outposts in the surrounding territory to exchange goods, services, and news.

The name of the city has been lost to time, and is simply known as The City to the inhabitants of the region. There are 3 main power groups within The City. The Awroka, a clan a mutant birds that control the top of the tallest structure still standing. The Shirkhan, a race of mutant cats that claim the surface streets and lower levels of many buildings. And the Morlocks, mutant humanoids that call the undercity of sewers and subways, as well as the waterfront their home. These 3 groups prey on each other as often as they hunt the local flora and fauna.

Mecha are giant walking vehicles used in combat or heavy industrial work. Each basic mecha has a cockpit for the pilot, a basic sensor system, is of a vague humanoid shape, and is powered by one or more Power Cores as determined by the size of the vehicle. Keep in mind that Mecha stats do not directly relate to character stats, and should it be necessary, such as strafing a battlefield of infantry troops or rebels taking down an Imperial Walker, just roll for the mecha and multiply the result by 10.
