Third major NPC. We unfortunately ended up cancelling because three quarters of the party dropped out. Still want to run this but I'm struggling to find replacements unfortunately. Anyone interested in Cairn through the lens of a Morrowind-inspired world of lizard people beset by bugs and daemons?

Chillin' like a villain

A creature that looks like a cross between a cat and a lizard with six strangely-shaped head appendages sits on a sort of bench looking at the viewer with a disinterested expression. They are wearing big, baggy shorts and a loose, warm-looking shirt that is adorned with diamond-shaped patterning. They hold an unlit joint in their right hand.

A couple of old drawings. Spy work can be dangerous...

#furry #furryart

A lizard-like creature stands facing towards the viewers left. It's clad head to foot in chitinous armor and appears to be drawing a wicked-looking knife.

The same creature as the other drawing in this post, now on their knees with their back turned toward the viewer. Their wrists are bound and their mouth is gagged. They look nervous, or perhaps tired.

Yooooo I'm taking commissions if anyone is interested!

I'll digitally scan them for you or do them fully digital if you'd prefer

$20 for full bodies + $10 for a second character

$10 for busts/waist-up shots

Will do simple background for $5 extra or a fancy one for $15 (landscape, detailing, etc)

A teacher breaks down after ICE causes multiple schools to lockdown during graduation ceremonies and parents to flee for their lives.

Only the soulless aren’t hurting from what is happening in our country. This is affecting all of us.

I had this idea for a Cairn lifepath generator where there are three stages of life and you roll 1d6 for your stats at each stage, and also get appropriate items.

It has not been playtested, it's barely been proofread, but I've been having a lot of fun generating guys

You have 2 HP.

Your childhood: You grew up in relative luxury, the child of minor nobility. You have a gold holy symbol on a cord (petty).
Add 2 to STR, 3 to DEX, 5 to WIL, and an extra 2 gp.

After, you were trained in matters of religion.
Add 3 to STR, 2 to DEX, 6 to WIL.
Start with a staff ( d6) and a holy symbol which the undead avoid.

You never became a priest because you were accused of heresy
Add 2 to STR, 5 to DEX, 5 to WIL
You might know facts about cults you encounter that most people don't know. You know the spell Magic Dampener: All nearby magical effects have their effectiveness halved.

You have 5 HP.

Your childhood: You were orphaned (or so they believe). You were found with a religious amulet (petty). Add 2 to STR, 4 to DEX and 4 to DEX.

As you grew up, you you started working in the mines.
Add 5 to STR, 5 to DEX, 3 to WIL
Start with a pickaxe ( d8) and helmet (1 ).

After several years, after a friend died in a cave-in, you knew you had to leave that life behind.
You have a cart and a strong but stubborn donkey.
Add 1 to STR, 2 to DEX, 5 to WIL.

You have 6 HP.

Your childhood: You grew up doing hard but honest work in the fields. You have a roughly carved wooden religious amulet (petty).
Add 3 to STR, 5 to DEX, 5 to WIL.

As you grew older, you learned from the village herbalist.
Add 3 to STR, 3 to DEX, 4 to WIL.
Start with a poisoned sickle ( d6, target is impaired if blood is drawn), 3 uses of a medicine restoring d4 STR, and knowledge of the effects of common herbs.

You left town after you traveled too deep in the woods and found yourself in a strange place. You trespassed somewhere you shouldn't, and you have a year and a day to lift the curse that was placed on you.
Add 4 to STR, 2 to DEX, 1 to WIL.
In the meantime, you are virtually invisible when hiding in vegetation, but you are abhorrent to a major god, and cannot enter their holy places.

A sling is cheap to make, easy to conceal, uses no metal and is lethal in skilled hands. If confiscated a new one can be created with ease. They can also be biodegradable and simple to break down if need be. The components are also ubiquitous things that can be described as something they're not.
