IF YOU'RE INTO STRAIGHT RECORDS, BIZARRE RECORDS -- THEN, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU.

PICS INFO: Spotlight on late, greats Frank Zappa & Don Van Vliet, a.k.a., "Captain Beefheart," photographed somewhere in London, UK, during their "Trout Mask Replica" era, c. 1969 [Zappa later went on to produce the album].

PIC #2: The same shot of Frank & Don, but with different color grading and resolution -- at 1080x1380.

Adolescent friends from their Lancaster, CA, daze -- back when that place was pretty much the fuckin' boonies outside of Los Angeles, CA.

2025-12-21: NPC - Bluesman - Singing Voice

In order to create a game about the Blues, there needs to be a way to create those legendary figures that play the Blues. The next week or so will be dedicated to tables that help generate Bluesmen to populate the world.

Singing Voice (d20)

When you need to describe what a bluesman's singing voice is like, use this table! It doesn't quite fit into my one-roll bluesman scheme, but feel free to use this instead of the accessory table if you want!
