BRP Basic Roleplaying Allegiance System for the Gods of The Kingdoms of Kalamar

 

Hello again folks,

Here is what I came up with for a Basic Roleplaying style Allegiance system for the gods in the Kingdoms of Kalamar setting. I have yet to use it, and I will have to look around online to see if anyone has some examples of how this all should work. I have a feeling this is a mite... more complex than just say Law vs. Neutrality vs. Chaos that seems to be popular with this method. I'm also not sure exactly which gods should be opposite of each other from left to right, but I just went with how they were in alphabetical order (the gods can sue me). hehe.

Here is a link to the PDF.

Revised Big BRP D100 Skill List + Hearing & Sight, Kingdoms of Kalamar

 

Hello everyone, 

I find myself making another revised list of BRP skills for a possible Kingdoms of Kalamar game. I took what I made up for my Skyrealms of Jorune campaign and tried to make it more fantasy-based. I need to work on another character sheet for the Allegiance to all of the gods in the setting, but it is looking pretty good so far. Some of the skills I have included don't have BRP rules for them just yet, but this will probably end up being a solo campaign so I can flesh it out over time. Honestly, when I run BRP I try to make it as skills-based as possible. I might not ever need a Meditation skill... but it's there just in case. As an old Rolemaster player I guess I tend to like a big ole list of skills. :)

I took an idea from Dungeon World which says that you get XP from failure as well as success, so if any skill is used it is eligible for a percentage increase at the end of the session. This increase is only +1% however which is a slower progression than standard BRP. I thought it was a good trade off. There is some influence from D&D and standard fantasy tropes for some of the skills, and I took some ideas from High Adventure Roleplaying too. Here is what I have so far. 

I also like the idea of Category Bonuses as a quick way to boost a chunk of skills, so that is included as well. Enjoy.

RPGaDay 2024: Days 1 - 3

 

#RPGaDay #RPGaDay2024 

Day 1: My first RPG bought this year was either some Dungeon Crawl Classics adventures, or a POD copy of the 2nd Edition AD&D Player's Handbook. I forget. 

Day 2: My most recently played RPG was in a sci-fantasy DCC campaign. My two-headed character is an agent of chaos in a setting that is on a giant space turtle. :)

Day 3: My most often played RPG is either the Rolemaster Standard System or D&D 3rd/3.5.

Bestiary Project: Making a Monster Manual from Scratch

*Last Update 3/7/24*

I had some old photo albums that I bought at estate sales and secondhand stores that had some sweet old paper in them. Those pages had a great texture and I've always wanted to make something out of them.

I rough cut two A5 sized sheets from the larger pages, and then trimmed them down with an old school slicer-dicer that I found a few years back. 

After all of that slicing & dicing I got out a marker pen and went to work. I messed up in a few places, but here is my first monster. :)

Here is a weird hopping flightless bird.

I messed up that M. Lol.

Look at this quirky lil goofball monster.

I based the drawing off an old school illustration.

Here is the original: 

Another odd floating sack of nonsense.

Those pseudopods... didn't turn out quite right. Haha.

He never skips antler day...

I saw a Call of Cthulhu image posted a few weeks back that inspired this guy.

My version of the Intellect Devourer.

Apparently a magic-user named Xasu made this disgusting thing...

It's got legs and it forgets how to use them... 

Who needs a decapitation fungus? Lol
