Sheep's Cloth Object #AtoZchallenge #rpg #fantasy #prompt

My theme is a month of prompts and ideas for tabletop role-playing games or prompts for fantasy writers.

Knowledge Kidnappers Quest - (Or Party versus Party) -

Sheep's Cloth

(See letter K post or letter p post for details.)

The player must already be worshipping one, and only one, deity for this to work. Otherwise, it's just a nice leg warmer.

This allows the wearer to worship two opposing deities. Must roll a d100 before each prayer/spell/use.

Roll a 1, anger the initial deity forever and receive a penalty from that deity at every turn. Roll a 50, anger the second deity, receive a penalty from that deity every turn for the next ten turns. Roll a 100, anger both. Be permanently stripped of the ability to worship, lose all wisdom and half charisma. Death and resurrection of any kind does not solve this because you cannot fool the gods again. All other numbers, you may proceed. If the Sheep's Cloth is taken off, the second deity no longer acknowledges the player exists, and that deity will no longer be selectable for worship (with or without this object, they're going to ignore you forever now); however, taking it off and putting it back on would allow you to select a different second deity. (Removal does NOT negate the anger effect.)

The Sheep's Cloth looks like a wool leg warmer. It's white with a dim glow woven in the strands. That's right, only one. The other from the set was destroyed long ago by a vein deity.

Rapid Search Eye object #AtoZchallenge #rpg #fantasy #prompt

Hey! It's my thirteenth wedding anniversary today! 👰🤵💕💍💐

Okay, back to the expected post:

My theme is a month of prompts and ideas for tabletop role-playing games or prompts for fantasy writers.

Knowledge Kidnappers Quest - (Or Party versus Party) -

Rapid Search Eye

(See letter K post or letter p post for details.)

The ugliest ring ever seen. Oh, it'll fit. That's not a metal band, it's veins that wrap around the finger and connect to your blood supply.

Close, but it's way yuckier than this.

Tapping the eye allows a player to see, without touching, anything and everything in an indoor area in one quick glance. (So if in a library, a player could see every book in a room in a second, but not be able to open them during the scan. Similar to photographic memory combined with using a drone to take a video of the room.) Up to four uses per day. Detects traps if the player has that skill. However, after using it, the player is blind for a brief time. The larger the area scanned, the longer the blindness lasts.

If the player is poisoned, the ring causes visual hallucinations until the poison wears off, even in the player is immune to poison. Attempts to remove the ring when poisoned will stop the wearer's heart(s).

The ring dies when not connected to a living blood supply for fifteen minutes. If the ring is allowed to die, the stench will reach 100 miles in every direction (like a bubble of stink, it gets under the ground and up in the clouds, there is no escape in range, including magical hideouts) and lasts for a week. Creatures will likely flee the stink. All in the area do a constitution check four times a day; failure can mean regurgitation or stench madness. Thus, once the ring is on, removing it isn't suggested. No glove or gantlet can cover the ring. It's about the size of an apricot protruding off the finger. It cannot be stolen any easier than a finger could be as it is connected to the wearer. (Obviously cutting off the hand would work.) Ring has god-level armor class, but that only protects the ring and the skin it directly touches. Will not work as a weapon. Do not throw a punch with the ring hand, as the ring will turn out of the way, causing the finger to stick up awkwardly.

Blogging Liebster Award

https://jrvincente.wordpress.com/2020/04/05/liebster-award/

Thanks for this award, JR! You're awesome. Any adults following my blog should go read her erotica books (if you're cool with that genre). 

Rules

1. Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you.
2. Share 11 facts about yourself.
3. Answer the 11 questions the blogger(s) asked you.
4. Nominate 11 bloggers and make them happy!
5. Makeup to 11 questions and ask them to your nominees.
6. Notify your 11 nominees.

11 facts about me

1. I prefer to watch tv on my tv. "But you can watch it on your little phone or handheld tablet!" When did we decide smaller screens are better? Did we reach the maximum tv size and then went the other way? I don't get it.
2. I love books. I have a life goal of having my own library. My books are precious to me.
3. I have a K-mart Santa Bear from every year they were made. 
4. I greatly prefer to decorate with pictures instead of "art" or whatever.
5. I don't have a favorite cup of coffee. I like different flavors for different days.
6. Listening to the music of my choice while driving keeps me calm and focused. 
7. Sometimes I feel more like a cat than a person. Generally when I see how some people act. What's the opposite of "faith in humanity restored" memes? (There's a presidency I could reference here. If that person is an example of people, I'm a cat. Meow. 🐈)
8. I like to try new foods (as long as I'm not allergic to the ingredients). 
9. I'm allergic to latex. I didn't know that for years. I have horror stories.
10. My wedding colors were green and purple. But the dresses my girls found (on sale and available that day in their sizes!!!) were two shades of blue. So I had four colors for my wedding.
11. I ran a freeform online gaming group for many years. I've met a few of those people in real life. One of my regular players was in my wedding party. Another of my casual players, it turned out, is related to my husband. 

The 11 questions from JR Vincente:
(This might be P part two for the #atozchallenge. 😄)

1. What is your favorite color? Purple
2. What is one food you can’t live without? Pasta
3. Would you rather have someone cook or clean for you? Please cook, I want to live...
4. What is your favorite thing about blogging? It's one more place to express myself
5. What is one song you could listen to on repeat for a week? Any song I pick is going to drive me crazy after that many plays.
6. What is one movie you have watched over and over again? Point of No Return
7. What is your favorite cartoon? My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic or She-Ra
8. What is one story you tell everyone you meet? Protect yourself from latex. That subject comes up even at the grocery store (thanks to latex rubberbands around certain veggies). I don't tell everyone some of my special horror stories ("Give me back my 🍆!") (Yeah, that can be a p-word also...) But I do mention that I had many bad experiences over the years before someone realized I had an allergy. That just wasn't a "thing" back in the 80's. I was "imagining" it. Notions... uh-huh. 
9. What is one thing you look for when picking a novel to read? Previously written books. I started reading something and was like, "Why do I feel like I missed the entire character establishing chapters?" Yeah, it was like the seventh book in a series. There were no numbers, no way to know, unless you looked the author up. That pissed me off. The book was good, but I know I'd have liked it more if I knew the characters. It was like hanging out with people who had been friends for years and had inside jokes and you're on the outside like... "okay..." Yeah. 😕
10. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Pterodactyls laid eggs. There were eggs 300 million years ago. The chicken didn't come into existence until about 10,000 years ago. So it stands to reason that the first chicken hatched from an egg that was laid by a non-chicken.
11. What is your favorite vacation destination? Pick a city where it's cold enough for me to enjoy activities. I really love the ocean, but it's hard to find a place that's open and fun in the colder seasons. Atlantic City has a huge advantage in this for me.

Party versus Party #AtoZchallenge #rpg #fantasy #prompt

My theme is a month of prompts and ideas for tabletop role-playing games or prompts for fantasy writers.

Party versus Party

Similar to The Amazing Race. Compete to win a big prize.

Starts with all players rolling 1d100, highest to lowest gets to pick one thing from the cave of magic. Item choices are made prior to revealing object details (other than visually seeing the object). Print or draw the items on cards for players to pick from.

You might tell the players what their items are. You might send them on a quest where they need to correctly use the item to complete the objective.

This campaign is all about clues and seeing who can win first. Different starting points, one same ending test. The players might all get to the ending at the same time, or maybe not. They might all live, or maybe not.



This campaign might follow the Knowledge Kidnappers Quest as a chance to use the rest of the powerful items. Or you might use it instead.

There will be more items next week, so be sure to check back!

Olive Draft #AtoZchallenge #rpg #fantasy #prompt

My theme is a month of prompts and ideas for tabletop role-playing games or prompts for fantasy writers.

Knowledge Kidnappers Quest - Object

(See letter K post for details.)

Olive Draft

This vile doesn't look like much. It's about the size of 3D6 stacked up.

Once olive oil is added to the vile, it produces the olive draft. The stopper is made of a piece of olive branch. The vile is full when the player first gets it. It can be refilled over and over. The draft can be added to any liquid, including magical potions. Once it is drunk, ingested, or injected, the player who poured the liquid from the vile is the new best friend of the person who has the liquid in them. Unlike other potions, there's no immunity to this. 

A new best friend doesn't outrank a spouse, special such someone, or close family member. The weight of the words and suggestions of the new best friend do carry as much influence as any long-time friends, other best friends, or not-especially-close family members. (Here, close references the relationship, not the separation distance. A cousin might be closer to the target than a brother. Feelings are the factor.) 

The best friendship lasts until the pourer drinks the draft and whispers "friendship with [whoever] over," at which point the two become acquaintances with no positive or negative feelings toward one another. They remember having been friends, but it's not sentimental. 

The vile has enough draft for two uses, after which it needs to be refilled with olive oil. There is no flavor or scent of the draft, it's completely undetectable, even by magical means. If the vile breaks, the magic is gone. There's no repair. 

Other than potential jealousy or others questioning your friendships, there's no real drawback of the draft. The pourer might even be the worst friend of all time, but the target will still forgive them and love them as unconditionally as one would a best friend. 

Increased use of the draft has been known to turn evil characters good and chaotic characters lawful. Roll a 2D100 to determine how many uses are too many for you, if either of those alignments applies.

Nightingale Necklace #AtoZchallenge #rpg #fantasy #prompt

My theme is a month of prompts and ideas for tabletop role-playing games or prompts for fantasy writers.

Knowledge Kidnappers Quest - Object

(See letter K post for details.)

Nightingale Necklace

Charisma boost when worn around the neck. (The chain magically stretches to accommodate.) The wearer gets +30 to any impassioned speech meant to convince or persuade others. Those who are the target and hear the speech get +10 strength and +7 constitution for twenty-four hours.


Songs and performances get a +27. The wearer always has a +5 to intimidate and +8 to bluff.

The necklace cannot be stolen or removed without consent. Those who try will lose the limb used in the attempt. (It vanishes, leaving a stump.) If the thief was using a tool when trying to remove it, that tool vanishes as well. If the removal attempt was magical, the thief cannot perform any magic for ten days and loses a finger (or similar appendage).

Does -70 charisma, -30 strength, and -20 dexterity, lasting 80 days (sunsets), to the wearer if used in conjunction with, or for the purpose of, direct seduction. Also, the necklace will remove itself and that wearer will never be able to touch it again.
