This is what happens when the haters write your obituary.
An image from a Live Science Plus article. It reads: Saccorhytus coronarius was essentially a wrinkly sac with no anus. These weirdos lived during the Cambrian period around 500 million years ago and are known from microfossils discovered in China. The Minion-like creatures may have spent their days catching prey in seafloor sediment, but researchers' understanding of the animals' lives is limited. They are believed to be related to penis worms and mud dragons.

Doing another lap in the wastes for #RPGaDAY2025 24!

It is never a bad time to remind the PCs of their old rulers' abhorrent benevolence and ruinous hubris.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: The Saints’ Reveal: A gargantuan monument stands before the characters, the pristine white stone of the statues standing starkly against the backdrop of the waste. It depicts a pair of Kitarya, each smiling serenely. One has his hand resting on the head of a hisk child, holding a scepter in his free hand. The other is holding the hand of a kelf child and lifting a chakram triumphantly above her head in the other.

#RPGaDAY2025 23 takes us back out onto the watersands of HtBP.

Most gatherers learn quickly that rivalries have to pause when they come face to face with the threats of the plane.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: Recent Fuckery Aside...help: A rival crew from The Mound, who has pulled several jobs and lucrative finds out from under the characters over the last few months, is currently fighting off a magara. It’s clear that there’s something wrong with their sandship and they might not make it out of this one if the characters don’t intervene.

#RPGaDAY2025 22 means a ruin encounter for HtBP.

When you're creating a world, it's nigh impossible to fight the siren song of creating a weird little guy for the PCs to cling to.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: Weird Little Ally!: A white metallic bangle, beautifully decorated in Kitarya symbols, sits on one of the tables in front of the characters. When it’s touched, the symbols glow, and a nearby pile of debris pulls itself into a small ruin born that stares expectantly at the character touching the bracelet.

It's #RPGaDAY2025 21 and we're getting another urban encounter for HtBP.

What if I told you that I created Porter's Point specifically to cater to my own jock characters? What then?

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: Unexpected Opportunity: The characters—along with every other scrap house in their quadrant—receive a runner carrying the following message: “Governor Lun is seeking a crew to tackle a unique and time-sensitive nation-sponsored job. Interested scrap houses should report to Porter’s Point for competitive evaluation by end of day.”

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: Do Not Enter: The carcass of a lure lies before the characters, left to decay in front of the entrance to its nest. Several thin, makeshift posts have been speared into the ground surrounding the small area, each topped with a black crystal bit.

It's #RPGaDAY2025 19 and we're back in the wastes of HtBP.

Gatherers can brag about braving a waste all they'd like, but until they've experienced existential horror, they're nothing.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: I Saw the Sign: The characters spot a sandship signalling for help near a cluster of sea stacks in the distance, one of its skimcrystal blades obviously damaged. In addition to its own flag, the Skraw’s Float is flying a nation-sponsored flag from The Mound. Helping the stranded crew could net the characters a nice reward when they return.

#RPGaDAY2025 17 for HtBP.

While exploring any old Kitarya territory, it's nice to pepper in a ruin born or two to keep gatherers on their toes.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: Renew Directive: The tunnels the characters find themselves in are filled with debris from the area above, smooth white stone busted in with earth and rubble. As they make their way through the channel, previously unseen symbols glow on the walls around them, and a ruin born pulls itself together in the darkness behind them.

Keith invented the game of nations and it's so damn fun to actually play in game without throwing things off or bogging things down.

He hasn’t lost a single game since he came to The Mound and is promising to give the location of a derelict hauler if anyone can put an end to his streak.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: Deceive to Feed: Fat spores float lazily on the thick air, sticking to the characters’ perspiring skin in clumps where they land. Each step through the bog has been a struggle, but luckily, the characters spot a small clearing on a hill ahead of them. Partially surrounded by a copse of mushrooms, it could offer a dry place to bed down.

A card for Harrow: The Blighted Plane from Underground Oracle Publishing. It reads: Gallery of Mystery: The walls of the high cavern the characters have entered are amber and translucent. Dozens of feet above their heads, bubble-like protrusions of varying sizes span the chamber, containing an assortment of inorganic treasures and trinkets.
