Solo d6 Fantasy: Session 2

Mort & Vin decide to inquire about adding a member to their crew, and then end up hiring Aranngort, a venturist that appears a little less sure of himself. Vin mumbles to Mort that at least he will take an arrow or two before falling and then they would not have to pay him...

Aranngort

They head out on the road...

And immediately encounter some trouble!

Thank you Veterans

 

Thank you to all the Veterans who have served. Not everyone will stand up for those people they will never met and ensure we all wake up to freedom and liberty every day, but to those that do and continue to serve, I thank you with all my heart.

The Pit of Despair: Map25.03


Decades ago, Metcalf the Surgeon had a fantastic idea. Using his extensive biological knowledge and alchemical wizardry, he could create guard creatures, owls to deliver letters and a host of other interesting 'minions' as he called them. This did well until a dark-faced man came into his shoppe and asked for more, he wanted something larger, more powerful, more dangerous. Something sinister. An like that Metcalf realized he had discovered an entirely new business: custom-made golems! Thus was born Metcalf's Minions!
 
Due to disagreements with the local administration, Metcalf was forced to retreat a secret lair, deep in the forest. Being a dedicated loner, deeply into his work, he slowly lost his mind and create more and more wild and dangerous golems, selling them for massive profits.
He eventually ran out of fresh sources of material for his golems and began kidnapping passing merchants, captured goblins, cattle, and wild creatures for his creations. He is extremely paranoid and always has a few minions on hand to protect him and his lab. He is currently hard at work...and well behind the deadline...for a powerful customer. He would not appreciate being interrupted at this time.

Solo d6 Fantasy: Session 1

 

Mort & Vin enter the village of Bramblgulf. In a chance encounter they met Pollard a local merchant who gives them a quest. I used the Solo d6 system as is as much as possible and only resorted to using the provided oracle when things got murky or I was just stuck.

Matt's Note:

I have decided that I am likely not going to write up much for the blog and probably just let the photo speak for itself. I may include things like thoughts on the system, or perhaps why I did something a particular way, but I want to keep the workload of these blog postings to a minimum. Some might enjoy reading them. I am also going to include some goofy AI artwork just because. 

As I was working through this, I decided I wanted to use the map I drew, something I rarely do much anymore. As it happens, the random rolls to determine the quest lined up almost perfectly so I decided to run with it.

Azzod's Temple: Map25.02

Another work break map, a simple remote temple inside a mountain or hill. The hermit-like monks run the temple for dedicated followers on a pilgrimage to a holy place in their religion.
