  I wanted there to be more playable material for spelljammer. So I made this horrific dungeon heavy on cosmic horror metamorphosis that doesn't feature mindflayers.   Here is a pdf if you wanna print it. And a plain text version.

We soon used our mastery of the genome to create humans capable of withstanding various gravitational forces, it was not long until we looked at other problems and fixed them with genemods as well. Now what a human looks like is much broader than any time before in history both oral and recorded. Here are but a few of the variations of humans found amongst the stars. Why use genemods over cybermods?  The genemod is far less invasive than any cyberware surgery and therefore has far less of a recovery time, it can also save time and effort in the long run if you know generations are going to be living in a place where this adaptation would be useful.  Of course, c...

400 New Patches For Mothership

 As someone who collects patches, I love the random patch generator. I decided to think up 400 more to have an even more varied set of outcomes for character creation. These compiled with the ones from the core book can make a d500 Chart for patches.  6 Fingered Hand Abstract Eyeball A Cat Ace of Spades A Cigarette Carton A Dog A Dragon Backpatch Aleph A Meaningless Set of Hanzi Anarchist Star Anatomical Heart Angel Wings Back Patch An Icecream Cone with Rainbow Rings A pair of Dentures A Skull with an Extra Eye Socket Ass A steak covering half of a bruised face.
