The Dripping Tap

These testaments are player options for the Zealot class for KillJester's ttrpg Errant . They come from the playtest of my Jewish mythology megadungeon MYR REGATH , now cancelled for logistics reasons and has entered a hiatus. Now that it's on pause I can look at things more critically, and am even more excited to run it again at my FLGS. Agrat bat Mahlat אגרת בת מחלת Acid-etched carving of Agrat bat Mahlat by my friend Yotzeret Sheydim The succubus Agrat - daughter of the Demon Queen Mahlat - has found suffering in her success. Competing with her sisters to seduce the righteous and holy, she snuck behind the divine curtain and laid with The Venom Angel . Now further up the line of succession for her merits, she cannot take The Demonic Throne while corrupted by the divine essence taken into her body. Cursed by divine contamination, she works to find and punish sinful mortals in a quest to exorcize the angelic corruption spreading throughout her body. She rides nightly on a ch

  I’m going to be trying Yora’s challenge Lore24 , a kind of spiritual successor to Dungeon23 . It’s focused on writing rather than strictly designing, pretty laid back, and open enough that if you were to sufficiently finish a project (a world, a fantasy system, etc) you could start a new one while maintaining the creative momentum and pressure. Check out the full post at Spriggan's Den ! I like it! I detect a sentiment that Lore24 is going to be easier to maintain than Dungeon23, however as someone who managed to stick around with D23 (for the most part, see my coming analysis on the project!)

It’s essentially a writing marathon rather than a design/drawing marathon and its format is more abstract; some people can take that and run with it, while others (like my neuro-divergent self) might find that the scariest thing is a blank page. Er - more like a blank prompt, I mean. That’s just sophistry, though! What are my plans? I’ve done the D23

  "Who is this king of glory? Shogach, strong and mighty, Shogach, mighty in battle!" Psalms of The Storm WADI SHOGACH A dry river-valley forgotten in the outskirts of a fallen desert kingdom. Scholars and mystics find mention of it in obscure scriptures, the supposed site of a shrine to The God of that land. Shogach was his name - he was their Elohim, called The Rider Upon the Clouds - the locals call the dry river basin by a similar name: Wadi Shogach .  Tracing forgotten secrets and implications of ancient spoils, many travel far and wide to the remote desert region that is home to the Wadi. Locals shake their head, say they cannot give them passage to the site. " We do not trespass there. It is an angry place, not for you nor I. You will drown in His anger, if you were to make the journey ." Still, the promise of gold is enough to lure many a robber. The locals of Elesh do not intervene: the place will handle them all the same. Elesh is a small town of <200 p
