Glorious updates


I am hard at work on the adventure, Glorious. It has, though, expanded a bit. I initially thought it would fit into 24-36 pages, but it has grown to over 60 pages, including:

  • 4 factions
  • 36 detailed encounter areas
  • new relics
  • new dangerous creatures

Here’s a quick preview of three new dangerous creatures:


Dangerous Creatures

  • Android creatures are partly born, partly built. The exist in a liminal zone between human and robot and have their own special set of concerns and motivations. They do not have spirits that migrate to the Negaverse upon death, so they are immune to stress.
  • Robot creatures are fully built — constructed from raw materials by the hands and tools of humans or other robots. They are immune to stress.

Black Gate agent

Flat affect, monotone voice, and dull eyes.

6 HP, 1 Armor, 12 STR, 10 DEX, 12 CTRL

Android

  • Null pistol (d6 stress) or stun baton (d4 damage, STR save or stunned)
  • Eidetic: Black Gate agents instantly recall everything they have ever seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or felt. When fighting an individual they have previously encountered, they use this information to predict the individual’s actions. Against such a creature, all of their attacks are enhanced.

The Black Gate Company employs synthetic humanoids to act as its guards and enforcers. The paramilitary agents track down rogue wights and wrangle mindless zombies with equal ease. Their only concern is fulfilling their mission.

Dependabot

Small, friendly, and reliable.

1 HP, 1 Armor, 12 STR, 12 DEX, 4 CTRL

Robot

  • Unarmed attack (d4 damage)

Dependabots are autonomous robots built for utility. They are friendly to everyone unless given a reason to feel otherwise. Some develop a deep attachment to individual humans and favor them over others, but most are happy to help anyone in any way they can.

Guardian

Large, deadly, and reliable.

6 HP, 2 Armor, 16 STR, 8 DEX, 10 CTRL

Robot

  • Proton rifle (d8 damage)

Guardians are the larger, more threatening, better armored cousin of the friendly dependabot. They are expected to dispassionately and efficiently enforce whatever orders they are given by their superiors, which occasionally causes problems because they have the same emotional capacity as their smaller cousins.
