Warhammer 40K Iron Warriors Traitor Guard: Part 1

Seduced by the temptations of the Ruinous Powers, the Iron Warriors Traitor Guard were once loyal servants of the God-Emperor, who have sworn allegiance to the Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines Chapter. Unlike the rabble that forms the ranks of the Chaos cults, the Iron Warriors Traitor Guard are professional soldiers, trained in warfare and military tactics. As such, the Iron Warriors Traitor Guard are not seen as expandable troops, as the Chaos cultists and mutant followers are. Rather, they hold a greater level of prestigious and value among the followers of the Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines Chapter.

My previous Warhammer 40,000 hobby project involved ‘kit-bashing’ a squad of Iron Warriors Chaos Cultists.  I recently ‘kit-bashed’ some more followers of the Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines Chapter, the Iron Warriors Traitor Guard.  I combined components from the plastic Cadian and Catachan Imperial Guard kits with resin Forge World (cultist torsos) and Anvil Industries (bionic arms) ‘bitz’ to build these heretical troopers.  As well, component from the Frostgrave Cultist set were added to represent the heretical artifacts and gear carried by these traitorous Imperial Guardsmen.

DCC Zero Level Character Generator: Version 3

The Character Funnel is a unique feature of the Dungeon Crawl Classics role-playing system; it the starting point of every new DCC campaign. In the Character Funnel, a band of lowly zero-level peasants, armed only with the tools from their humble occupations, sets off on an adventure to prove that they are worthy of being called Adventurers. Most will perish on this first adventurer, but those few who do survive will earn the right of choosing a character class (unless they are Dwarves, Elves or Halflings, in which case their race become their class), and start new lives as First Level Characters

The newest iteration of the DCC Zero-Level Character Generator (version 3) has launched, and is available on Dwarves, Warriors & Mighty Deeds and the Fantastic Adventures & the Disgruntled Gong Farmer Companion Site; two fan sites dedicated to Goodman Games’ Dungeon Crawl Classics game.  As a way of capturing the ‘Old School’ vibe of Dungeon Crawl Classics, I used a drawing tablet to illustrate the character sheets, replicating the ‘hand-drawn’ sketches found throughout the margins of past RPG books and character sheets.  The Zero-Level Character Generator provides several options for customizing the randomly generated characters, providing options for generating zero-level characters with a greater degree of survivability (i.e. modified ability score die rolls; max hit points).

 

Zero-Level Character Sheet Version 3

 

Zero-Level Character Sheet.  The Zero-Level Character Generator randomly generates four zero-level characters per sheet.  Players typically use multiple zero-level characters for the character funnels; after all, character funnels are deadly, and only a handful of the level zero character who enter the funnel will survive.

Dwarves, Warriors and Mighty Deeds is dedicated to Goodman Games’ Dungeon Crawl Classics role-playing system.  Dungeon Crawl Classics is a modern role-playing game that captures the ‘old school’ feel of the early iterations (1970s) of the ‘World’s Most Famous Role-Playing Game’.

 

Fantastic Adventures and the Disgruntled Gong Farmer Companion Website is a site dedicated to the third-party Dungeon Crawl Classics Adventure module of the same name and contains the following three adventures: The King’s Challenge, Kobolds Stole My Cat! and the Gong Farmer’s Revenge.  This module is available for free (as a PDF) through DriveThru RPG.

DCC Lankhmar Wizard Character Generator

Students of strange and wonderous forces, Wizards dedicate their lives to the pursuit of magic. Magic is mysterious, dangerous, and corrupting; it is beyond the comprehension of mortal men and women. Not even the Wizards themselves, who have devoted countless years to its study, can truly comprehend the mysteries of the magic they wield.

 

Dungeon Crawl Classics Lankhmar Wizard Character Sheet

 

Goodman Games’ Dungeon Crawl Classics Lankhmar, based on the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories, uses three of the seven core DCC character classes: The Thief, the Warrior, and the Wizard.  I recently completed a DCC Lankhmar character class generator for the last of these three core character classes: The Wizard.  The DCC Lankhmar Wizard Generator is available on Sorcery and Mighty Deeds, a fan site dedicated to the DCC Lankhmar role-playing system.  As with the prior DCC Lankhmar character generators, the Wizard Character Generator builds on the second iteration of the DCC Character Class Generators, by adding new options and more functionality reflective of the DCC Lankhmar setting.
