2024/11/28: In a cool coincidence, The Nothic's Eye also posted some dungeon gods today! I totally recommend you check them out here ! *** Seasoned adventurers know to respect the dungeon gods, those who's house is the Underworld. Regardless of what one believes on the surface, it is good to stay in their graces.

Johtull Wurm by Ian Miller HD 15, AC as Chain, damage 2d6 (bite). 100' in length, and 12' or more in diameter. Flesh is smooth and rubbery, with a deep indigo hue, marking them as the lords of all worms. The worm's most defining feature is it's grinning maw of human-like teeth on an otherwise featureless face. It will eat anything in it's path, leaving behind a trail of acid-sludge. Always attacks living creatures on sight. Never checks morale.  Swallow whole. Whenever the purple worm attacks a creature human-size or smaller, the target must save versus dragon breath or be swallowed whole. Inside the worm. Creatures caught in the worm's stomach suffer 2d6 damage per round, and -4 to all attack rolls. Squishy insides. All damage dealt to the worm from the inside is doubled. Pearly whites. A purple worm has 32 teeth of smooth, white ivory, which are prized among collectors and make excellent grindstones. A single tooth will sell for 1,000 silver pieces.   **...

I've been trying to keep my posts pretty structured, tho this one may ramble a little. After an exchange with Miranda of In Places Deep over on Bluesky, I started thinking about weapon-as-initiative, and it quickly reached the point where I realized I wasn't going to get anything else done until I wrote a little blog post about it.

2024/11/19: Added a ruling on HP and character death. I read it in a blog post a long time ago, but can't for the life of me remember what the post was. If anyone knows, plz lemme know! 2024/12/05: Found it! It’s this post from Paper & Pencils! I've been flirting with the idea of starting an FMC campaign with some friends, and I wanted to compile some house rules into one place to make that a little easier, in case that does end up happening. As follows:

I love Souls games. I love getting invaded. I wanted to bring some of that energy to my ttrpg games. Some of these are based on invaders from the Dark Souls games, others are my own ideas. For best results, use with the Underclock . Add a Black Phantom entry to your dungeon encounter table. When you roll it, roll on the subtable below.
