Update: The Expert

Attached is a draft of The Expert class, a d6-skill based class for the Wildwood Manuscripts and other old school style ruling games. It is simply a mortal man with insight on how people and individuals work, as well as a few skills from their old days being a filthy normie who didn't really need to get involved in the untoward shenanigans of adventuring.

It is based on Beyond the Wall style rulings, using a d6-based skill set a la Lamentations of the Flame Princess. The goal behind the class is to represent a normal human being who has chosen adventuring but lacks the refined skills of a warrior who has devoted their life to killing, or any sort of someone who has devoted their life to adventuring pursuits.

Skills are meant to be specific but broad, nothing that should be hard codified like "Diplomacy" but rather things that imply a level of specific tactical acumen. Like climbing under duress, or keeping a horse calm.

Yoon-Suin: Food for a Yellow City

Figured I ought to update the blog. Been busy lately with some full-time teaching work, but things should lighten up by around the 23rd, at which time I can begin working on the Wildwood Manuscripts again in full. Until such a time, here's a randomizer table for weird meals that could be purchased in David McGrogan's Yoon-Suin setting. I'd say that they cost a fine copper or two and could be served up in certain ways to make them at home among the cockroach clans or the uppercrust brahmin slugmen.
