d30 Thursday – Simple Pleasures
Last week we had a list of things people don’t like, or fear. Today, a list of simple pleasures that make your PCs and NPCs feel good and right with the world.
(My apologies to Stanley Kubrick)

Need some fun ideas for things for your PCs to be afraid of? What would your NPCs put on their “Social Profiles” for Dislikes?
Here is a resource of phobias, aversions and things some people just plain don’t like.
Roll a d30!
Fear of Spiders Fear of Snakes Fear of Dogs Fear of Cats Fear […]
Sometimes an encounter is not a monster! Sometimes your PCs are foraging, exploring or setting up camp and they encounter a normal-sized, non-magical, completely mundane creature.

d30 Thursday: NPC Factions
Who are these people? What did he mean with his dying words, “I will be avenged”? Who is in charge of this town? Why are horses so expensive here?
I guess the answer depends on who you ask, because it’s always about “who you know”, right?

d30 Thursday – Master-Crafted Weapons
The World of Weirth is going to be a low-magic, low-fantasy style game. This means I’ll need to keep the number of magical weapons to a minimum. I’m also going to be incorporating the idea of the Master of Dungeons from Fen Orc’s blog, which will be a fun way to relieve PC’s of […]
For this set of tables, your PCs may need to know someone already in place in a settlement. Or they may need to be “sent” off ti find an NPC, and you aren’t sure who or what they are.
This d30 table determines the basic role of the NPC. I’ll leave Class and Race choices […]
d30 Thursday – Quirks and Tics

The World of Weirth has no “traditional” goblinoid creatures. No Goblins, Hobgoblins or Bugbears. Rather, what the people of Weirth think of as Goblins are small, clever anthropoids who like to take things apart and put them back together.
Frequency: Common

Armor Class 7 (due to size and speed)
Journal: Quarantine day 8 Social distancing is taking its toll. I can’t stop scrolling online Social Media Apps!

Adding Personality to Your PC
Spotted a great thread on Twitter tonight: @anxietywizard
It was requested that Wizard put this thread into a blog post, and they might, but I though I might add a little commentary.(Also, I edited the tweet into a collated set of lists)
it’s actually very boring when all the features of […]
