#ttrpg making

Forcing you to work tens of hours of overtime?

Making you crave death as a form of release from the hell that is your life?

Explode them with your mouth ray

todays is quite obvious i’m doing mages and not just anyway the fucked up twisted kind

the crow kissed emperor: a failed immortal who tried to become a Litch by putting his soul into his familiar to become a sprit like being although his soul and the crow familiar merged to become a whole new being.

now the crow emperor with his crown of tin has taken on the traits of a crow and the more human parts of himself have become three crow advisors Alba the albino crow a lover of intrigue and hidden things, Condor the war crow a the war side guides the emperor to war and battle with any who stand in his way, Marionette the builder crow a crafter of spells and the stranger arts. who you support as advisors will affect the great emperor abilities and goals drastically.

glass knife Knave: a mage of curses while her spells are few they can be combined to create strange and confusing weapons all which take the form of a blade. she hopes to undo the greatest of the curses upon her a body of glass. The words of the dying hold great weight and for taking a kings glass blade she was forever cursed with a body of the same that shall be marked with every cursed she has ever used.

the unlucky song: A bard who wished to be forever known and so devised a ritual to become immortal and they did by becoming a song forever to travel from bard to bard, but to them the goal is simple take from what already is find an immortal and posses their form with their bewitching song but for that they need mortals who might find an unwitting immortal and for their help many preserving magicks can be found in that ever shifting limerick.

the core: a golem who died many centuries ago and all that’s left is it’s core with their maker long dead the only thing it has left is a war unfinished but for that a form is needed and not just any will do it’s old form must be remade but as the rebuilding is done it must reckon is this war still worth fighting. while it’s magics are few it knows many crafts of its own kind for any enterprising builder with the wit and the wealth to make them.

the shepherd watchful: a shepherd who struggled to keep his flock in check, she prayed for the ability to always keep an eye for her flock. He was heard by an evil and capricious god and for that she was granted many eyes to watch her flock for as long as needed and with it the ability to never cease and now she simply craves a rest which he cannot receive. in turn for a restful dream she can grant some of her eyes strange and ever shifting powers but these powers often show things best not seen.

Just need to write out the lore, transfer the character creation info, and make some example creature stats.

name:

typing: (these affect how the patron interacts with you and how gifts and offerings can be given) two types so far obligation and mercurial obligation creates contracts which strictly govern boons and the like angels/demon fall in this category mercurial is emotional based on the patrons whims and moods and also what they find interesting 

energy: all patrons have three energy points which is the amount each patron can take action wise.

the core loop of interacting with a patron their typing will affect which is most important

summoning: what is required to contact a patron for obligation based patron this a constant usually mechanical in nature such a set time or requiring a special sacrifice. A mercurial patron can refuse a summoning but if entice or tricked can be summoned

bargaining: when the exchange of gifts is done for obligation patrons create a contract with either 4,6,10 lines each party adds one line one can let the other do extra lines if say an energy or aspects are exchanged for mercurial the summoner states their desire the patron interprets it based on their nature 

gifting: when the patron gives the gift or the summoner gives a sacrifice obligation give what is described based on the contract. Mercurial patrons says  what the gift  is while the summoner says what it is not after this done 3 times by both sides the gift is made 

"Walk" is the term I'm using instead of "class" or "job" for the different mechanical roles a player can choose in my ttrpg project. The following are the current names and functions of these walks, but they probably will change as I make more progress.
