Adventure Time + Cha'alt

 

Ok, as mentioned in my latest video, I'm creating a random table that can be used to juice-up your Cha'alt one-shots, linked adventures, and long-term campaign.  

Some of this stuff I'll be using on my own in Crystals of Chaos (see prior blog posts for details).  It's not my favorite animated TV show, but I do love Adventure Time.  Let's do this...

Adventure Time Your Cha'alt 

1. Strawberry flavored - some monster, NPC, or magical thing in the adventure tastes like strawberries!
2. Talking dogs that may or may not have been genetically spliced with Ka'arl's DNA (Karl from the show Workaholics). They also have elasticized limbs.
3. The ability to kill with sheer cuteness - unless one is actively averting one's eyes, save or die!
4. Rainicorns - Cha'alt doesn't get a lot of rain, and I don't know anyone on Cha'alt who's ever seen a rainbow... but it's possible.  And if you see one... what happens?  TBD
5. The slimy tentacled princess is at war with the candy colored clown princess, and for those getting in the way of their righteous fury, life is cheap.
6. Pieces of candy are actual people walking around whining about stupid shit.
7. Whenever something is stolen, there's a 2 in 6 chance that whatever it is gets immediately re-stolen away from the thief.  
8. ???

I want to hear from you... what else does this random table need?  And what else do you want me to riff-off of?  Vintage Doctor Who?  Blake's 7?  Thundarr the Barbarian?

Thanks,

Welcome To The Thunderdome

 

The inaugural episode of our monthly podcast Gonzo Up Your Ass! is available.  Aaron the Pedantic and I had a nice little chat about how to make your RPG sessions more gonzo and/or metal.

If you're checking this blog post out on a mobile device, the video may not show up.  In that case, here is a direct link to the YouTube video. 

Have a question or suggestion about gonzo/metal in your game?  Let us know so we can talk about it.

Enjoy,

p.s. Only a short time left to back my Saving Cha'alt kickstarter.  Back it to get more bang for your buck - as many as 7 eldritch, gonzo, science-fantasy, post-apocalyptic scenarios!

Descent into the Candy Crypts

It's here.  Just a 14 page PDF, but I think it's rather special.

This idea came out of nowhere.  Well, that's not really true.  Evidently, I've spent too much time watching Adventure Time and playing Candy Land with my 4 year old.

Descent into the Candy Crypts is a rather small dungeon crawl with a lot of unexpected wackiness.  If you play Crimson Dragon Slayer, it's pretty much a no-brainer.  If you play D&D or one of the many OSR games out there, it might be what you're looking for.

There are two possible futures ahead of us, I predict.  The first would see this electronic module burned at the virtual stake.  The second sees this kind of thing all the time - irreverent, naughty nonsense that pokes a lot of fun... even if it's not "politically correct", which, to me, just means behavior that politicians take part in but don't want any of us knowing about.  My preference is for the latter.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I and +MonkeyBlood Design enjoyed putting this together.  +Joshua Burnett did the interior artwork and I painted the ugly-ass cover (you're welcome).
