I released some bits of Treasures and Bravery, my DURF hack

 Hello again, this june I was kinda writing a DURF hack, called Treasures and Bravery, to start making complete and actual zines. Unfortunately I dropped it, but I starting to work on it once again to join the DURF Jam 2023.

I release the first bit of it on my itch page. This include character creation only, and will require more work to be a real thing. So it's basically the character classes so far.

These are inspired by how they are in Five Torch Deep, where there is less of them but you can build em in some ways around. For example a Warrior can become either a Barbarian or a Fighter, and pick abilities from the archetype pool to have a diverse skill set every time.

The other changes and additions that are planned are the following:

  • Expanded bestiary, I aiming at 30 critters types, and I'm aiming to fully illustrate them.
  • Spells have specific blunders instead of rolling on a random table. I just want for the consequences to have flavor too. For example, Fireball basically explodes at point blank shot. Healing Hand is tied to ink, and if it fails you just make a whole mess on a wound by dirty it up with ink. I might try to make simple illustration for the spells symbols too, but I'm not sure yet.
  • I want to implement the Underclock system for random encounters. I think it's neat.
  • Making some magic items to spice up sessions
  • lots of art, it's almost that T&B is an excuse to make art in a coherent way
 Enjoy some of the art I have been making for it already!

SoloRPG - Adventure 1-01, Three bastards and a Wand

Image
Three nameless bastards stand in a table in the Dado Inn of Riverwick , mourning their low finances. They are a town guard that just got fired, and now has debt to extinguish, a forgetful prophet of the Cold Moon, who has forgotten her home, family and to shower in a long time and a incompetent burglar that takes way too much time to pick lock and has no courage whatsoever. They are about to check the quest board, when suddenly the Inn doors burst open and the opulent and capricious Noble of Riverwick enters, escorted by some town guards. He claims that the Beetle Mage, resident of the east ravine Rookmoond has produced a new and trendy magic wand, and the Noble wants it as soon as possible to add it to his fancy collection of magical artifact. He would compensate a generous 1200 GP for anybody who would get the wand, any means possible. Most of the people of the inn seems used to the noble's antics and show no interest in his proposition, but our three losers, after glancin

Solo RPG - Adventure 1-02, Towards the keep.

Image
  The wand gifted from the Beetle Mage, being rejected by the noble, is now in the party possession. It is a Bubble Wand , which allows to create a magic soap bubble of 2 meters diameter for d4+1 rounds. This might be useful to catch opponents inside of it or can be rode off while it goes upwards to overcome tall obstacle ( Wands house rule: when casting using the wand, make a WIL. If it successful, cast the spell. Either if the roll succed or fails, roll a d4+2, you have to wait that many rounds to use it again ). The following day the party informs on available quests or rewards. They get to know that towards the west is the Fertilia Prarie , overseen by thea State Keep . It is said that the nearby village of Wheetnill is struck by a curse and that the inhabitants are suffering an agonizing sickness; there is a 400 GP reward for any concrete information about the possible causes of the problem, and 1200 GP in rubies for those who would fix the situation altogheter. They also ge

Kobolds, those poor bastards

Image
A red Kobold, confortably naked or with some adventuring clothes   Life is very cruel towards these silly little creature. They are born from dragon scales, discarded randomly during their travel or grooming . Most time they are easily forgotten by their parents, and they are off to defend themselves from the dangers of wherever they are left, but at least they are intelligent enough to live off on their own in a semi-feral state right after the scale hatches. Those who walk first take responsibility and take care of the scales that still have to hatch, knowing that can be easily become food for beasts or supply for fanatical smiths. The kobolds that hatch in the presence of their parent, although protected, they are no less unlucky, as most time, the dragon will just use them either as new servants or snacks in case of dissent. Kobolds live under the shadow of their dragon parents, always wishing to reach such power. They don't even have access to the iconic breath, but just a de-
