An updated character sheet for Cyberpunk 2020.

Game of the dark future. A Trashtopia, where corporates rub shoulders with street punks... Look Choombata, head to the source. Cyberpunk2020 

To Blave! is a rules-light, classless Role Playing Game derived from KNAVE, the brilliant rules toolkit created by Ben Milton. To Blave! strives to extrapolate the elegance that is Knave. In effect, To Blave! is a "remix" of Knave with adaptations and extensions applied. To Blave! is less lethal, has variant vigor, magic, "practica", monster, and treasure systems and additional miscellaneous rules. (If you have neither game, please treat yourself to Knave first.) True to its lineage, altering To Blave!'s rules is both expected and encouraged.

To Blave! inherits many features of Knave from which it was derived, and mixes in many new ones of its own. These include:

Fast to teach, easy to run. If you are introducing a group of new players to rules-light or OSR games, they can make characters and understand all the rules in minutes.

Abilities rule. Armor, Agility, Lockpicking, Attacking, Casting, Hiding... everything is an Ability check.

Lists of immediate resources: 100 Spells, 20 Practica, 36 Monsters, 20 Monster Traits, 36 Magic Items and more. Enough equipment and items to start play immediately and enough patterns to facilitate expansion, whether by importing from OSR sources, future supplements, or building from scratch.

Compatibility with "Old School Revival" (OSR) games. If you have a library of OSR bestiaries, modules, and spells, minimal conversion should be needed to use them with To Blave! These are not required to play, but are a wonderful resource. Also, where practical, To Blave! includes concise rules and examples for expanding upon its own content.

No classes, yet specialization can be done (and undone) with practica. Every PC is a jack-of-all-trades, a tomb-raiding, adventure-seeking ne'er-do-well who slings spells just as easily as a blade. Yet, by focusing their vigor, PCs can gain more specialized talents. But never fear, just a few hours' introspection allows them to again alter this focus. This is an ideal system for players who like to play different roles in the party as the situation dictates. PCs' roles in the party are determined largely by the knowledge and equipment they bear.

Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: To Blave! is a derivative of Knave via this CC license and To Blave! itself is released with the same license. You are free to share and adapt this material for any purpose, including commercially, as long as you give attribution.

Source text. When you purchase this game, you also get a copy of the Libre Office document used to make it. Edit it to create your own To Blave! variants. (The document uses the Liberation Serif (included with Libre Office) and Blackwood Castle (free online) fonts.)

Take on the mantle of the Defender of the Crown and protect your King (and his body double) during the Grand Banquet.

Watch out for assassination attempts and stay away from those troublesome Court Jesters.

Captain of the Guard is a simple card game for Two Players.

It takes 10 to 15 minutes to play and is suitable for all the family.

You will need a standard deck of playing cards with jokers, two tokens and a flat surface to play on. A notepad and +1 pencil will also help with keeping score.

You will get a full set of rules, an FAQ section and extra variants to try once you have mastered the standard game.

A printer friendly version of the pdf is also included.

Have fun!

The first of a new series, Fighting Foolishness, follows in the steps of the Magic Madness series.  Inside are 30 ideas: abilities, skills, etc... .  What they are to you is how you classify them.  Add a couple to an individual Fighter(not just the vanilla Fighter, any Fighter) and you have something new to play with.  Combine a bunch of them and make a new fighting class.  Award them to the good player... or bad.  Choices, choices for you to make.

Summon your ancestors with Ancestors Appear to heal you before for mano vs who knows what combat.

Reach for something you do not want to with Blade Of Ignoble Existence.  A new low may have been reached but you may win the fight!

Prepare to smack the right enemies with Damage Of Death.  Blows against many, just hit them and they will fall.  But, they must be ready.

A good jump makes the Leap Blow what you've always wanted.  Let your weight make the hit that much more powerful.

No One Shall Fall, a speech must be made but our fighting will be so much better as long as no one falls.

At last your fighter can become stronger with Strengthening Blows.  I will not cut you but when my biceps bulge bigger you will feel a greater blow.

Finally, will my god listen to me when I use War God Strengthen Me?  My foe seems so much stronger then me, let my power be equal to his!

All this inside and more, Fighting Foolishness... fight the fools today!

	From Unformed Realms Regular price: $3.95 Bundle price: $2.95 Format: Watermarked PDF	As a Gamemaster, you just can’t have something planned for every eventuality. Perhaps you have to step in to run something on short notice or the normal group can’t meet so you want something to change the pace. The Cthulhu Hack offers a simple system for investigative horror, but where to get the horror? From Unformed Realms offers you a gathering of random tables to provide a springboard for your creativity just when you need it most. Below the waist… all human resemblance left off.

Blaster fire peppered the hull plates of every vessel, pummelling the structural fields with relentless destructive energy intent on a single purpose. The commanders of the fleeing ships pressed on toward the very edges of the system, gathering an incremental lead on the much slower, purposeful enemy ships. Until they found the limits of the systems gravity shadow, they could not make the jump. Then the fleet punched light speed… and you expected the players to stand and fight. So... What now?

FOR FANTASY GROUNDS VIRTUAL TABLETOP

A 5th Edition compatible adventure by Haakon Sulivan, designed for a party of 4 PCs of Level 10

When the mithral rush began in the northern region centuries ago, people from all over the world rushed to the area to find riches and glory. Thus the town of Domandro was born to give the prospectors supplies, entertainment, and a warm bed in the frozen northern plains. However, the town mysteriously disappeared and forgotten even in the fringes of history. Centuries after the town’s disappearance and the subsequent fall of the mithral rush, one antique dealer named Wilhern Dobbenspeck has stumbles upon a document hinting at the town’s existence. Thinking he has found the historical find of the ages, he has put out a call for adventurers to prove the town ever existed. Little does Dobbenspeck know that he’s sending the expedition into a frozen nightmare of giants, undead, and something from out of this world.

• A free roam adventure in a hazardous town

• A new city with detailed background history for a cold northern region

• A new spell, redirect teleport

• Two new monsters, the fast-moving carnigens, and the scavenging frost vultures

• Details on Elemental Princes, and the blessings and curses they can bestow on characters

• Map by three-time ENnie Award winning cartographer Todd Gamble

Map-making can be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating for GMs, especially GMs with limited time to begin with. In our new 'GM's Maps' range, we will be providing a range of pre-made maps for you to use in your games.

Self-storage facilities have been on the rise since the 1960s as the need for low-cost storage has been increasing. People can rent storage bays of various sizes by the month and store more or less anything in them. Every now and then an abandoned bay or one where the owner has defaulted will be auctioned off in batches by the storage facility.

Almost anything can be found in these storage bays and this product not only provides you with a map of the storage facility but also comes with a section of ideas for adventures and another detailing some of the more unusual, mysterious or weird things that might be found inside.

Examples of Adventure Ideas

8/. The party are investigating a kidnapping when clues lead them to the storage facility. The suspect has hired numerous storage bays around the facility, some are booby trapped but one contains the kidnap victim. The suspect doesn't seem to be there, but as the PCs try to leave, they discover the hard way that someone has cut the breaks on their car(s). Who is the kidnapper and do they have associated at the storage facility?

9/. The party wake up locked in a storage container. They can't recall how they got there or what is going on. The facility seems to have been abandoned, it is night time, but there are sounds from elsewhere in the facility that suggest someone – or something – is in here with them.

Examples of Unusual or Interesting Things to Find in A Storage Locker

• Magician's stage props that seem to have actual magical properties.

• Several pieces of famous artwork that appear to be genuine but which have never been reported missing from the galleries and museums they are supposed to be hanging in.

• The skeleton of a creature that can not be identified

• Missing evidence from an ongoing investigation

• Detailed plans for a complex bank robbery

• A booby Trap

Das vorliegende Spiel ist die Fortsetzung von „Ostpassage“

Nach der Erkundung von Toani, der größten der Inseln der Einsamkeit, verlassen die Abenteurer die Inselgruppe und wagen mithilfe der bei den Piraten erbeuteten Seekarte die Fahrt durch das große Riff. Als ihr Schiff leckschlägt, können sie sich mit ihrem Rettungsboot völlig erschöpft gerade noch auf eine große Insel mitten im Riff retten.

Die Vegetation ist üppig, das Klima gemäßigt.

Im Zentrum finden sie in einer subtropischen Senke die Überreste einer untergegangenen Zivilisation. Doch ist es dort nicht so einsam, wie sie zunächst glauben.

Und schließlich entdecken sie nur wenige Meilen westlich an der Küste eine alte Piratenstadt.

Als sie sich dort vorsichtig umhören, erfahren sie, dass die Piraten eine See-Elfenprinzessin gefangen genommen haben sollen.

Sie beschließen, die Prinzessin aus den Händen des Piratenanführers zu befreien und mit ihr gemeinsam von der Insel zu fliehen. – Doch damit muten sie sich fast zu viel  zu.

This is intended to be a paid upgrade to work with Plot Generator most directly.

This table shows plot or story twists with six types of reversals: identity, motive, perception, fortune, role, and fulfillment. The reversal twists are also cross-referenced with 6 questions: who, what, when, where, why, and how.

Not all results are bad. Some lead to help.

This is a flexible twist generator that is meant to aid or take the place of a Gamemaster (GM) for adding single reversal. It may also be used as a list of ideas.

A 12x12 table optimized for 1d12 but with results for 2D6, 1D20, 3D6, and D100 (percentile) systems is included. It makes it a versatile twist generating engine.

The keywords are meant to help trigger thoughtful and inspirational ideas. Its generic enough for any genre.

Included are a total 144+ twists in the entire table.

2 pages: It's first page is the image shown on the cover thumbnail —  the instructions and example — and the second page is the chart turned longways 144 results.

This differs from the fact generator in that the results are completely focused on twists rather than including other sensory or cognitive results. 

Download the Fact Generator to use as a preview of this chart. I use the same chart with different results listed.
