Day 2 - DIY30

As usual I had a few ideas on my walk to work.

Notes on "The City Of Glass":  The city is a large circle with a huge glass bubble that surrounds it.  The bubble not only protects the citizens, but allows for climate control as the Venusians prefer more Oxygen and heavier gravity than the rest of the planet can provide.  The city is a centre of learning.  As well the main export is the "alien metal" mine below the earth.  There is a small section in the southeastern section of the city called the "Papple" which is set aside for non Venusians.

(Obviously I'm still fleshing this out)

HEX:  The Bean Forest:  One of many similar forests, filled with giant (30 feet tall) green bean stocks.  There are animal trails throughout this hex.  Within is a colony of O'thugs living in a small enclosure built up in the beans (about 20 feet up).  There are 1d6 O'Thug guards keeping watch on the enclosure.

MONSTER: 
O'thugs, this creature stands 7 feet tall, it is vaguely humanoid with 2 legs and 4 large arms.  The O'thugs are not the most intelligent creatures.  They gather in smaller colonies (2d20), ussually found in large fissures or caves.  They are vicious and will raid encampments for supplies.  In combat they will use all four arms to swing at enemies.

DAY 1 - DIY30

My hope is to slowly world build. My guess will be that I won't fill in every single item on the list a day. As noted from yesterday's post I won't be around for the next few weeks, but hey it's a start!

NPC

Bocchoris: Bocchoris is the seventh son of the Pharaoh of the Venusian city of Glass. Bocchoris is the main General in the army of the Pharaoh, and he is tasked with keeping the city safe from incursion & siege. While Bocchoris does not stand a chance to become Pharaoh, he does have the city and ruler's best interest at heart. He is a tough negotiator and tactician.

HEX

Base Station 12: This long forgotten outpost has remained abandoned. At one time it was the twelfth human settlement on Venus. The base station has slowly sunk into a large pit over the years, making it difficult to access. Enterprising PCs may find high quality gear and treasures within.

WILDERNESS ENCOUNTER
A group of 1d6+2 Grey humanoids are digging in the ground with large metallic construction equipment.  If questioned, they will reveal that they are looking for a lost set of historical tapes.  

CITY LOCATION
The Observatory: The highest point in the Venusian city of Glass. At the top of the educational authority sits a rounded glass room. The Observatory allows a 360 degree view of the city and outlying areas.

MONSTER
Liopider: A liopider is a frightening cross between a Lion & a large spider. A native of the Venusian landscape, this predatory animal hunts in packs. The visage of the Liopider is that of the front torso being a Lion, and the back and rear torso of a giant black spider. However the animals face contains thousands of unblinking eyes. The liopider has the ability to spin large webs, and will also hunt on the ground, attempting to sneak up on its prey. It is immune to poision, and can secrete a venom that will cause paralysis.
No Enc: 1d6 AC: 4 HD 4 ATT: Claw/Claw/Bite DMG 1d6/1d/6/1d3* Save vs paralysis

SPELL

Affect Gravity: When this spell is cast, the gravity in a 30 foot radius becomes either heavier or lighter (depending on the whim of the caster) for 4 rounds.

DIY30

Dan D came up with this idea (well this years version, I believe Beloche started it last year).  Essentially I think its a way to get back into writing, whatever path that takes.  As you can see by the image "got multiple projects? work on them".  So simply put, try daily to write something.  Now if one needs some structure, they could take the 30 days of August (err 31) and basically run down this list 3 times plus one.  I'm sure it's entirely up to you if you want to post this on your blog daily, or perhaps record anchor episodes for it. 

I doubt that my A.D.D. would allow me to spend a month on each thing.  Possibly? but likely not.  I think I will do this creative thing, rather than do the whole #rpgaday thing (which I normally do in one blast).

I have so many god darn things half written, this should allow me a chance to focus on at least one of them, or possibly switch between them all. 

I should note however, that the 3 Toadstools will be shut down for 2 weeks while I am away on vacation.  I'll be out in the bush camping, with no access to wifi (and I won't be bringing a device anyways).  I am however bringing a large notebook, a bunch of hex and graph paper.  I intend to write something! Don't worry about me I'm fine, I'll just not be around.

My list of unfinished projects are as follows: 
Mutant Future Campaign Set in Canada.
Somewhere in space
A otherworldly hexcrawl
A small hexcrawl with slaves, a lizard king and intrigue. (kinda S&S)
A wuxia campaign for my old school players

I obviously have a ton of shit that I've started and not completed.
