Hey all,

Posted in discord about the idea of having some get together sessions to make something and have a chat with likeminded GMs and Players. A bunch of us can get together, pick a host/leader, that host will say a thing to create (NPC, ROOM DESIGN, 5 ROOM DUNGEON, MOSTER ECT) and all of us can then help make it by suggesting ideas. Hosts will be picked by a d20 roll off if there is more than one. Finished ideas can be posted on the forums for all to see and use.

I ran a session last night and this is what my self and myrrhddin created…

The%20Flesh%20Golam%20showcase%20v1
The Flesh Golam showcase v1.jpg1754x2480 3.25 MB

Neither of us had any agender for this and we where both surprised by what we came up with. All inspired by some dealt out cards and one of them said Flesh Golem. The strangest idea grew from there and I have put it into a one page format for all to use and hack.

Looking forward to more community sessions!

Just thought of a add on to room three. Around the room you see paintings of the Golems that are lined up, a plaque below states a name and then what they are made from.

Perhaps naming them will cause them to stand still for 1d4 rounds?

Since this is sort of like a Workshop, you could also consider the gallery as a sort of documentation for each piece. Like it describes the creations but also lists what could be improved. This would then identify the specific weakness of each.

Example:

The fleshy bugazoid developed into a strong example of creation, but while the hard carapaces made its resilience to attack quite hardy, the shells made stitching pieces together quite difficult and lead to loose bonds between each piece. Note: Find an alternative joining process. Stitching is susceptible to cutting.

Oh I like that idea a lot! Gives more mechanics to the Oil paintings dotted about.

  2. “We are a small research vessel studying a black hole, we miscalculated and are now being pulled in, please come help us!”

  3. A series of clacks, snarls, and slurps which your Warpshell tells you translates to “The elder star calls, we are trying to destroy it but need help.”

  5. “…Is anyone out there?” first contact adventure.

  6. Two competing messages. One, a call to help a sick child, who will die if she doesn’t get certain medicine. Two, a static filled message from a Master Grosz, ambassador, claiming he’s the sole survivor of Reptis Prime and needs help. The warp shell is conflicted and offers up its steering controls.

  7. “This is “name of a PC in the party” of “party warpshell name” requesting immediate assistance!”

  12. “This is Free Trader Beowulf, calling anyone… Mayday, Mayday… we are under attack… “
