Primetime Adventures: The Dickinsons - A family with benefits - Pilot

Scene 1: Social Worker Steven shows up at the house of the jobless Dickinson family to tell father that he needs to get a job at Tesco. But Steven is seduced by Dick's sister who also lives in the house. Dick has to clean the grandmother in the meantime in the bathroom.
Scene 2: Grandmother has old scooter gang friends over for lunch. Dick listens in that they want to rob the Tesco. He tries to convince them not to do it, but they don't listen.
Scene 3: Dick goes to Tesco to apply for the job, but the scooter gang is robbing the store at the same time. He tells them to fuck off, but they threaten him and he decides to better call the police from at home. His brother Ciaran wants to steal one of the gang's scooters in front of Tesco in the meantime, but the gang is too fast and he has to leave before he is seen.
Scene 4: Dick tries to call the police from his place, but his kids, Jacky O. and Britney, are too noisy and he is not being taken serious by the police. They hang up on him. In the meantime Jacky O. plunders the medicament storage and accidently swallows viagra.
Scene 5: Ciaran is back home in the evening and tries to convince Dick to steal a truck full of bikes with him. But Dick convinces him to do it together with the scooter gang instead.
Scene 6: Jacky takes his grandmother and his sister Britney for a walk. He wants help because of the viagra and barely escapes his grandmothers "help". In the chaos fails to hook him up with her friend Anna, as it was her plan.
Scene 7: Britney back home starts a fight with Dick's wife Jennifer. Britney mentions that she is pregnant, and Jennifer wants to convince her to have an abortion. Britney is strictly against and get Jennifer to leave the house - saying she will never come back. Dick is totally pissed at Jennifer for making his wife leave.

Howl, you Old School Bastard!

"I saw the greatest heroes of this generation destroyed by madness, looting hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the slum streets at dawn looking for an angry fix," etc. etc.                           Kinsenk, some weird bard, on promising adventurers

Zwillingsseen Hexcrawl: Session 1: Großwall

Just a little chat log from after the game, to a friend:

Basically they were in a town called Großwall and approached by beautiful girl in an inn, that said her father had disappeared.
the dice told me that she was beautiful and VERY tall, when the players asked. not preplanned at all. so they went with her to look for him at the market where he told her, he would go
but it was night already and they got attacked on a square by 6 vigilantes.
the party killed all of them, except the leader whom they kept as hostage
but they were stupid enough to tell the guy, he should lead them to the place where he had found gems.
so he took them to his neighbourhood, getting them into an ambush
that's where Rapunzel (the male navigator prodigy) was killed by a lucky hit during the swordfight and the beautiful girl got stabbed as well. Hel's and Oli's characters could only flee and had to leave her behind, not sure if she was alive or dead (she was actually dead) and the slum mob chased them out
so they returned to the inn covered in blood, with stuff they had looted, but without the girl or their strongest guy and decided to go to bed... the barkeeper told them, he had warned them

I admit: the text is very chaotic, but deserves to be stored somewhere anyways.

I will need to tone down the damage low hit dice enemies do on a critical hit, because this was already the 2nd PC in 2 sessions that got killed by a critical out of the blue.

All AD&D Monster Stats

While going through my AD&D1-Monster-Manual-Reprint and figuring out, how to use the stats exactly for my very own Old School Bastard (a roll under system), I came across this thread on Dragonsfoot.

It's a nice spreadsheet of all AD&D-Monsters - supposedly. I obviously don't know all of them. But great work, unknown typist! Thanks a lot!

There are more than 4700 Monster entries in the spreadsheet!

Free Hex Crawls! Hexploration galore.

I found those nice cooperatively created free Hexcrawls on "teh internetzz":

3 Hexcrawls

More Random Tables (for Vornheim)

As I just started running Vornheim with my own Old School Bastard.

While I am really happy with the tables in the book at the moment, I am already looking for more stuff I could use.

This is a first step: Hustle and Bustle of a Big City

Dread RPG Questionnaire

Dread is the famous indie horror RPG with a Jenga tower as resolution system. It also doesn't use numbers for character stats, but just a simple questionnaire.

This is the one I will use for my contemporary horror one shot:

Why did you sign up for the survival training?

What does your character do for a living?

How do you look?

What are your interests and hobbies?

What is your characters biggest fear?

What is your character proud of?

What secret would you never share?

What would your character have with him/her if he woke up somewhere from being unconcious?

Why are yo the black sheep in the family?

What gives you courage?

Tell me 3 of your weaknesses!

Tell me 3 of your strength!

Who is the most important person for you in the world?

What would you sacrifice your life for?

What is your name?
