In der letzten Session meiner Mörk Borg Kampagne ließ ich nebenbei fallen, dass es in Galgenbecks Kanalisation einen Trollkönig gibt, der dort seine Schätze bewacht.
Die Spieler bissen an.
Nächste Woche spielen wir also "Teasures of the Troll King".
Hat das schonmal jemand geleitet oder gespielt? Irgendwelche Tipps?
Es gibt dort einen angeketteten Gott, den man befreien kann. Was für eine Gottheit das ist, wird nicht fesgelegt, und ich hadere noch, wie ich das handhabe.
So, made a submission for the "Appendix N Jam", spent way too much time amateurishly delving around in an image editor for the cover…

[OSR] Chicken Stinger
A recent episode of Retronauts reminded me about the Chicken Stinger (or Chicken Leg, or even Cockatrice although that name sounds wrong), the monster used in both Golden Axe and Altered Beast.
Well, mostly Golden Axe I would say, as the first time I came across it was in the Master System port of that game. And Altered Beast never was that fun.
If you’ve ever played the Golden Axe games you know the creature: it’s that first riding beast you can commandeer, the one with the beak and the ability to kick over enemies with a tail. It’s a derpy, bizarre design, but one that stays in your mind.
Chicken Stinger
No. Enc.:1d6 (3d6)Alignment:NeutralMovement:180’ (60’)Armor Class:6Hit Dice:2Attacks:1Damage:1d4 (beak or charge) or special (tail sweep)Save:F2Morale:8Hoard Class:NoneXP:120The chicken stinger is a two-legged and beaked, lizard-like creature with a long and strong tail. They normally live in small herds in subtropical forests, but have found use as a mount by some tribes who take the sturdiest of the creatures as beasts of burden or war. While aggressive in the wild, chicken stingers trained as mounts are notably easy to handle, if notably slower than horses.
Charge: The chicken stinger charges an enemy and headbutts it, the opponent is knocked down on failed safe. (see below). Some riders use horned helmets for their mounts to increase the damage done with a charge.
Tail Sweep: the chicken stinger attacks all opponents currently in melee range by doing a tail sweep. On a failed save the opponents are knocked down and lose their next turn. An opponent who saved gains a +1 for the next attack on the chicken stinger. A mounted rider can trigger the tail sweep as well.

This, OTOH, was delightful (despite the "manscaping" ad at the start):
"His memory will live on with us."
"We wouldn't need his memory if he was still alive with us!"
