Anarchia





I made this hellish mess of a map for a one-shot i played with my regular D&D group (the main game being on break due to The Extenuating Circumstances).

The plan for the oneshot was to play characters from d-and-wiki's much maligned 5th Edition homebrew section.

It was, in my opinion, a success.

We had a small horse armed with various magicks and the ineffable power of Dad (wielding a blade which says World's ---- Dad).

A blind, deaf pile of dirt, who rode around on a magic horse and was in service to the Chromatic Lords, the icons of chaos.

An illithid ninja so edgy one could cut themselves by looking at them - who also had a thrillingly abysmal Strength and Charisma score.

And then, an immortal martial-arts demigod who used Demogorgon as a butler.

He was phased out around halfway through for a variety of reasons, replaced by a suit of armour containing a hungover ghost, with a melee range gun.

The 'setting', for lack of a better word, was Anarchia, a hellish hex-crawl through these psychedelic danger-zones. I enjoyed it immensely. Probably would work best in Troika! Who knows?

The idea was that Anarchia was once Aleria, an entirely ordinary and pleasant fantasy setting, perhaps of the Dragonlance variety, that got neatly and thoroughly explodafucked, into a region of unreality called the Void of Chaos.

Every person became an immortal, nutty mutant with a wide variety of goofy powers - hence, the oneshot.
