The Strongest Man On Earth

This may sound weird, but I have a lot more fun statting out oddball and joke characters than traditional ones. Being a parody of action anime and superhero comics, One-Punch Man has several. My favorite is probably "the strongest man on Earth," King. 

King is a high ranking hero with a powerful reputation. His "King Engine," a fearsome intimidating sound that fills the battlefield when King is near, is feared by all. It's all an act though. King is actually a cowardly geek that's just extremely lucky. The King Engine is the sound of his heartbeat. Despite this, he's a good man and cares for his friends.

Technically King’s real power is plot armor, but that’s not fun. To represent his luck, I'm giving King the thief's Luck and Wits ability. He also bolsters allies with his presence, so he should have the halfling Good Luck Charm trait. As far as the King Engine, I just figure it would be a a powerful fear effect for living creatures that hear it.

King: Init +4; Atk +2 punch (1d3); Crit II/1d14;  AC 12 (dex); HD 3d6; HP 12; Mov. 30'; Act 1d20; SP ; SV:  18 luck, good luck charm, luck and wits (3rd level), luck die +d3, Ref +4; Fort +1, Will +1; AL L

The King Engine: All intelligent, hostile, living enemies that hear the King Engine must make a will saving throw (DC 20) to resist the effects of the King Engine. Failure indicates it experiences a moment of fright. It immediately flees the area at maximum speed. This fear lasts until it can't hear the King Engine any longer.

Yet Another Crisis In Infinite Zines #1 Update

I figured I'd give y'all another status update for Crisis In Infinite Zines #1. Dave and I have had to order another print proof. We noticed a few small errors we wanted to correct. Despite delays I'm excited issue 1 should be out soon(ish) and am looking forward to seeing what y'all think of it. 

I'm working on issue 2 now. Here's an incomplete list of what will be in it:

• Another D30 Origins (ready to be proofread)
• Superzero Class (ready to be proofread)
• No One Stays Dead Rules (ready to be proofread)
• Webbie's Recommended Reading List 2 (ready to be proofread)
• Villain - Gunman At Large (WIP)
• Symbiote With Serial Numbers Filed Off Rules (WIP)

“Figure It Out."

I was going through my old posts and found this one. I decided to do stats for DCC, since that's my current jam. 

Wayne (5th level Martial Artist): Init +4; Atk +d6+2 punch (1d4+3) or +d6+2 kick (1d6+3); Crit V/1d20; AC 13 (dex, class); HD 5d8+10; HP 28; Mov. 30'; Act 1d20+1d12; SP perfect strike; SV Ref +4; Fort +5, Will +3; AL L

Perfect strike: can burn 3 luck point to automatically hit on your next attack and deal maximum damage. This game be done 5 times a day.

Pitter patter: All allies within 60' can move up to have their speed. This ability can be used 1 time per day.

The Toughest Guy In Letterkenny: The first time Wayne is reduced to 0 hit points, he is instead reduced to 1 HP. This ability can be used 1 time per day. 

Music Monday - Twisting The Knife

Ice Nine Kills have teamed up Scream 7 actress Mckenna Grace to do a haunting track for the film's soundtrack. In classic INK style, the video has a trailer.

Music Video Part 2

I thought the song was beautiful, and the video is stylish. I appreciated the cameo at the end and wrestling reference. If you're interested in the continued narrative of the Ice Nine Kills story, check out part 2 of the video.

Just A Stupid Dungeon Review

It's been a while since I've done a Lamentations of the Flame Princess review. A few weeks ago I picked up a couple new adventures at Time Warp Cards & Comics. Here's a spoiler filled review of one of them.

This one was written by James Raggi, the creator of Lamentations of the Flame Princess. The man can create great dungeons. The original Death Frost Doom was fantastic (even if it's a "nega-dungeon"). I think Tower of the Stargazer is a great first level dungeon (even if it can kill players right off the bat). Just A Stupid Dungeon isn't a good  though. To be fair, the adventure lives up to its name. You can't say you weren't warned.https://punverse.blogspot.com/2014/10/death-frost-doom-redux.html

The hook is pretty simple. There's a door in the side of a hill and no one really knows what's behind it. Related to the hook are stats for villagers and local kids. Raggi has stated that the reason for all the NPC stats and treasure listed in Keep On The Borderlands are because the players are meant to take it over. This doesn't bode well for the peasants. 

There are 10-11 rooms in the dungeon which have been stretched out to 24 encounters. There are a variety of funhouse style rooms, but they're pretty weird. Other than the peasants, the only other protentional combat encounter are rats... lots of rats. The dungeon ends with a world changing event, that involves world wide slumber. The ramifications are massive, but even more so if you've already ran something like Death Frost Doom in your game. Raggi's known to be miserly with treasure. Just A Stupid Dungeon has a bit more than usual and its pretty unique. 

If you couldn't tell I think this one is a pass. I don't regret buying it because I grabbed it on clearance, but had I paid full retail for this one, I wouldn't be happy.

Punch A Nazi Week Returns

I'm going to do another Punch A Nazi week starting the first week of March. Like the last one, I'm going to include a few Nazi punchers in addition to the bastards getting punched. Cap will be one of those heroes. Speaking of Cap, check out these pieces by Joe Flanders Comics. 

One Puuuuuuuuunch!

I recently started rewatching One Punch Man. If you’re a comic book fan I recommend the series (or at least the first season). Check out this great art piece by Marcelo Ventura Art. Also check out my Two Punch Man stats.

This is the first of a few Joe Flanders Comics pieces I'll be sharing in the next few days.
