Harpy Flock

Play as a free-spirited Harpy flitting from town to town performing for the masses, or a tenacious flightless feathered fighter trying to prove themselves. The Harpy player race has you covered with four different types of bird person. Which one will you choose?

It's never fun to find there is no art of a fun ancestry you want to play. Pathfinder has so many unusual ancestries and for some you'll probably only find the three illustrations that were published in the books. So with the power of art I'll start padding that pool out a bit!

I’m starting with the Leshy! Vine, Pine and Gourd.

Did not take me long to get bored and to want to talk about the Void Walkers, granted their always buzzing around my head a bit. Don't really know how to start this so lets start with a drawing.

This is just a very basic rundown of how they tend to look, they vary quite a lot, just kinda being a mix of traits. Their wings can be that of any insect and they generally grow in around the age of 10 or 12, they have very small horns and either have some fluff or a stinger at the end of their tail.

Young Voidwalkers have a lot of black spots on them, like this:

As they continue to grow those spots will join together and they will lose their patterns as it becomes a more full pattern instead of a spotty one, they're very small when they're young, only being around 1-2 ft tall and there's no particular limit on their secondary color. All Voidwalkers have black patches but other than that they can be any other color really. While it is an extremely rare occurrence you can get a purely black Voidwalker.

Here's an example of an adult Voidwalkers pattern:

Adult Voidwalkers can range from 3-4 feet tall, they generally reach adulthood around 21, it's slightly higher than humans as they have a much longer life cycle, unless killed most Voidwalkers will live forever.

Some just generally fun facts about Voidwalkers:

Baby Voidwalkers will hold onto their parents like a baby koala would

Voidwalkers are capable of both sexual and asexual reproduction

Their native language sounds like Ice breaking or frozen lakes cracking

They have a lot of names, they pick their own name at 18 and all the other Voidwalkers in their lives will give them nicknames

Any games about cross-country racing or just racing in general? I've had this setting with this grand race for riders of fantasy creatures and its rough trying to find a game that fits it.

THEME: Racing Games.

Hello friend, so I have some good news and some bad news for you. The good news is that I found a number of racing games! The bad news is that all of the games I found are built with the expectation that you are racing machines, not creatures. I don’t think that makes these games completely non-viable, but pretty much all of them will probably need a little bit of re-wording or hacking in order to become games about racing living things.

SUPERSTARS Racing Icons, by Tristan B Willis.

The air screams around your helmet as you hurtle past the final turn and towards the finish line. Your best friend looks to make a pass that could take both of you out. Do you play it safe and risk losing, or play for glory and risk everything? 

Welcome to Superstars: Racing Icons.

Trophies are nice, but racing careers are short and you’re here to build something that lasts. Is that a rabid group of loyal fans who follow your every move? A list of sponsors willing to keep you comfortable long after your racing days? Or just one meaningful connection with a teammate, a rival, a friend, a lover? 

The designers expect you to translate this game into a setting that works for you, but plenty of the language expects elements like sponsors, a PR team, and vehicle terminology. The game is GM-less and comes with a menu of backgrounds, which define your character’s narrative role in the race.

Because Superstars is a Firebrands game, instead of freeform play the group instead moves through a series of scenes, embodied through various mini-games. This means that this game is well-built for telling some kinds of stories, but not others. Much of the game is about the tension between the riders; the races are simply methods through which you can explore that tension.

If you want a game that is focused on the spectacle of the race as much as it is on the race itself, you might want to take a look at Superstars: Racing Icons.

Speedway Showdown, by Bammax Games.

Speedway Showdown is an ultralight, GMless minigame for two players that aims to quench your need for speed! Built on Cezar Capacle's Push SRD, Speedway Showdown begs you to put the pedal to the metal and take risks to walk away with the glory. Take a single turn on the tracks and reap a lone victory, or form your own circuit with your friends and race for the top of the ranks!

This is a business card rpg, so it’s very simple and therefore probably pretty easy to hack. Instead of damage to your car, your creature might get wounded or spooked, and you can replace mechanical benefits to reasons why your creature might suddenly get a boost of speed. This is also GM-less, so everyone can throw their hat in the ring for the title!

The game is probably going to be over pretty quickly, since there’s not much to it, so this would be a good set of rules to couch within a larger game.

Ghost Kart Racers, by kumada1.

Lord Aoyama was your master. He wronged you and killed you, but in doing so he made two mistakes.

He angered your spirit.

And he left an unsecured motor-kart in his stable.

Ghost Kart Racing is a 20 page supernatural racing trpg in which you shred rubber, use power-ups, and unhinge your entire face to devour the man who wronged you.

This is a multiplayer game that relies on different sided dice to represent your Kart (or perhaps, in your case, your Steed). You take turns flicking your dice towards a finish line, with the goal of hitting it exactly, with falling short being considered just as bad as overshooting. The game also comes with extras for customizing your racers, creating custom tracks, and adding Charms that change how your vehicles work.

I think the rules for this game can definitely be separated from the story that the designer has introduced, and the idea of having different steeds with different strengths may make sense if each racer is riding a different creatures. You could re-tool the charms into abilities that different fantasy creatures might have, such as a glowing body part or the ability to jump over low obstacles. The game also has optional skills that represent your character’s abilities outside of racing, which you could change to reflect what your characters might need to be good at when they’re not out on the race track.

Dirt Eaters and Grid Beef, by e.a.

DIRT EATERS is a dice game where players compete to see who can get the best score driving their cars through dangerous tracks! Players build the tracks through dice rolls, ranking each sector on a scale from 1-5. Rolling six sided dice, players have to get a number of successes equal to the difficulty of each sector to score a point. The more dice you use, the harder you're driving, and the more damage your car takes! Replenish your dice by 'repairing' your car between stages. It's a game of resource management, strategy, and a little bit of luck!

GRID BEEF is a roleplaying game about racing. In this game, players will be racing cars against one another in a series of events across the world. In between races, they'll form friendships, clash with bitter rivals, and be submerged in the world of politics and drama that comes with racing at a world championship level. Sometimes, the biggest drama happens off the track!

Both of these games follow the same core mechanic, in which a number of d6’s are rolled and the results over a certain number are counted as successes. While DIRT EATERS focuses on damage and hazards, GRID BEEF is more about the relationships between the racers, and how you interact with people affect your performance on the track. I think the core rules can work on their own, and the outside elements are examples on what can affect the race depending on what is important to you. In both cases, there’s probably a good amount of hacking and home-brew that you’ll have to do, but the benefit of looking at both of these is that you can see examples of how the core game can be re-tooled to focus on elements that matter to you.

Love by the Quarter Mile, by Dice Monkey.

Rev your engine and prepare to fire the NOS. In Love by the Quarter-Mile, you play as a street racer trying to make it while fighting for family. This one-page tabletop RPG is quick and dirty, providing you with everything you need to use to play games in the same vein as Fast and Furious and Gone in 60 Seconds.

This is another short game that I think can be very easily hacked to turn this game into a game about racing animals, rather than racing cars. You can replace the car tags with animal tags to differentiate the creatures that you are riding. However, being fast isn’t the only asset you have here - the game is also about fighting and personal relationships. You can fight rivals or other characters, and the rules are loose enough that you could use fists, or weapons that match your setting. You can also have arguments that can tax your emotions, so if there are personal stakes in the competition, you can enjoy some hair-raising drama in between each race.

dnd shit that wouldn't actually be that funny but to me it's hilarious

Teifling culture that's not inherently hot or sexy, but just kind of average human culture from wherever they're from with a few slight differences

weed existing

Every single fantasy interpretation of elves since Tolkien living in different places in the world. And no one mentions it, this is just how elves are

Gods aren't real, Clerics are just the equivalent of mormons who have accessed superpowers by accident and annoyingly claim it's the will of their gods

As with the above: half the people a Cleric approaches will start go "oh no thanks, not interested" like they're about to get converted

Kenku. They're just so great I love these guys

Any character whose backstory for joining their class is secretly that they wanted to find themselves and didn't know what else to do with their life the same way indecisive college students pick a major

A historically accurate amount of people contracting tuberculosis

I have a new game available in early access! It's called HYPER DRIVE NITRO and it's a sci-fi racing game in the vein of F-Zero and Redline. It uses a system involving d10 dice pools that encourages fast-paced gameplay. It's currently pay-what-you-want, so please check it out and let me know what you think!

Monster Girls - Chimeras

The Chimeras are a group of hybrids only connected by that one fact. All of them are completely unique from one another except for that one thing. Play as a deep-diving Scylla, or a mountaineering Manticore!

The Chimeras are part of an ongoing monster girl-inspired series! If you want to see the exclusive subraces, full PDF, and much more, consider paying my Patreon a visit!

Arboreal Dragonborn?

When I saw the new art of arboreal dragons from Mage Hand Press' Book of Extinction back in April, I knew I had to make dragonborn variants of them, and when Ross Leiser released his Dragonbornomicon less than two weeks later, I was even more excited to do so, having the perfect framework for making them. When Book of Extinction v0.2 dropped last month with them in it, I immediately jumped at making this, and then went through revising them through the month.

I was also inspired by Book of Extinction's Endlings, letting you play a race near extinction for whatever reason, and especially given how important the messages of extinction and conservation are in that book, I felt it only right for these to be endlings too, only a few families of arboreal dragonborn left, and here they are for you to play one of them.

If you want the PDF, just go ahead and grab it from my itch store, it's Pay What You Want (so basically free!)

Hello! This is not Hollowed Kingdoms related, but a more personal post from the Creator (me, Winona). If you like what I am writing and creating here on Hollowed Kingdoms, it would be appreciated if you could support me as a Lineage Expansion for Daylite Publications just got published that I wrote for.

I not only wrote on expanding on the lore of the Dwarn, but also created a new Great Being for the lineage. This is a really cool system and the people who work at Daylite are also really cool and you should check them out!

[merge-conflict]

man thinking about how cyberpsychosis is treated by the game is so frustrating because it's like... yeah, how would people under constant physical and emotional stress react when something finally makes them snap? but I don't think you have much credibility to explore it when mechanically you lose humanity pretty much solely on the basis of body modification, and the only interaction that happens when someone exhibits cyberpsychosis is violence which at best you can make nonlethal. I actually have a lot more thoughts on this but...just chewing on it atm.

#there's some interesting discussions to be had but personally the way the original ttrpg introduces it has all the nuance of dnd evil races #someday my T shot will cause me to lose my grip on reality and start killing I guess #rambler rambler
