Have a cool sword for #DnD and #Pathfinder2E... for free. Cuz I'm cool like that. Repost if you dig it. It lets more people find our stuff and it's just nice to do.
![Disarming Sword
ITEM 6
Disarm, Magical
Price 240 gp
Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L
This +1 striking shortsword is crafted with a basket hilt and uniquely features both a gut-hook and a second hook toward the crossguard of the blade, purpose built for catching other blades within it. Many duelists are known for their efficient footwork and keen movements of their blade to outmatch their enemy. Speed and finesse are as much a part of their arsenal as their blade itself.
If you are at least trained with this weapon, you gain a +1 item bonus to AC if you wield it in one hand with nothing in your other hand.
Activate [R] manipulate; Trigger A creature misses a strike against you made with a one-handed melee weapon; Effect You maneuver the blade to catch their attack in the hook and attempt to Disarm the creature. If the attack that triggered this reaction was a critical failure, you gain a +1 item bonus to the Athletics check made to disarm them. Once a creature has seen this trick, they are immune to future attempts to disarm them in this manner.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pb7cm7pnmngs2wlas6ug5jqf/bafkreic3e6uc6temwp4vahhjiesvggdetjpya5kub3hhdv2mtlor7ceogu@jpeg)

Blood in the Gutter also includes rules for something we all understand very well: stress.
Unlike real life, however, willingly taking on stress can occasionally help you in the game. ⭐️

Interesting thing that I haven't talked about enough lately apparently is that we have a digital catalogue that houses all of our items, creatures, and extras so folks don't have to dig around for what they want.
It's a benefit of supporting us on Patreon and it looks like this:

Weapons in Blood in the Gutter all use basic templates that let you then flavor how the gun looks to best suit your tastes and the setting you play in.
Want a revolver, a laser pistol, or magic blasts from your hands? All three can use the same template! ⭐️

Blood in the Gutter is a system that caters perfectly for noir inspired games, which is perfect if you're like me and grew up on Dashiell Hammett books.
I'm currently making a small adventure with this system based in the Parasite Eve series, to give you an idea of how setting-agnostic it is!

This was a labor of love, and I'm super proud of it.
Here's the character sheet I designed for it! ⭐️

In Blood in the Gutter, you have 6 "Abilities," each of which governs 5 unique "Skills."
Whenever you make a skill check, you get to at least add the corresponding Ability's score to the number, meaning that you always have a chance to succeed! ⭐️

Seems like most people prefer a walk-through of character creation unless it's a quick demo! ⭐️
If you were going to learn a new TTRPG, would you prefer a pre-made character sheet so you can just jump in or would you prefer to be walked through character creation? ⭐️

A surprising number of the subclasses I've designed for 5e were inspired by Mortal Kombat characters.
This one was based on Sub-Zero. ⭐️

Soon starting a new #vampirethemasquerade game and I was excited to draw my next character- Barbara La Marr. Once a black and white film star, now a Toreador. She still wears the green makeup. 💚

I made this "Drag Performer" background for Pf2e.
Just tell your GM that your backstory is "after a long night of hookin', trade didn't like the session. So they had gutted me and set me on fire, but you know I didn't die. I crystallized, and now I'm a glamazon, bitch, ready for the runway." ⭐️

If your players are just steamrolling every encounter, you definitely need to make combat more than just "defeat the enemy."
Have them protect an NPC from waves of enemies, steal something without being seen, escape a dangerous threat while fighting minions, complete a ritual under fire, etc. ⭐️

Back in 2017, I invented a silly little wizard who sold magic items for a d&d game with some friends.
I needed a name, and the night before, I had joked about using Allie Kazzam as my name if I ever did drag. I changed it up a little to Alec Azzam and the rest is history. ⭐️

The year is 2020 and everything sucks. I was stuck in the depths of the pandemic and depression and I needed a way out. The best way out for me is through insane dedication to project.
