Seven Pre-Generated Characters for LotFP

In 2015 I was playtesting an adventure that I hoped to self-publish for LotFP. To make it fun as I ran it locally, I wanted some really snazzy character sheets, so I commissioned Craig Brasco (@craigbrasco) to make some characters in the style that he did some DCC character sheets in.

Dungeon: The Spiral Temple

A few years ago I was tasked with running a D&D 5e one shot for my niece and her friends, for a 16th birthday party. I whipped up an adventure using a map from Dyson's Dodecahedron blog, and rolled randomly to determine the contents of each room. Then, I personally tailored the monsters to ones that made an interesting narrative. This may be a dungeon that most adults would think is bland, but provided a lot of fun interaction for a group of teenagers who had no idea what to expect.

Lamentations Referee Screen

 

 

I've used these screen inserts for years. With almost ten years of playing LotFP and keeping up with Lamentations of the Flame Princess in online space, some of the more prolific creators (and useful resources) seem to have disappeared.

Playable Orc Class for Lamentations of the Flame Princess

 

Did you find yourself wanting a playable Orc class for Lamentations of the Flame Princess, or maybe just a stat block so you don't have to think about it? This incarnation of Orc is the kind of self-regenerative, kick-in-the-door fighter you want on your dungeon romps. These abilities won't save the Orc from the most gruesome traps available in LotFP modules, but players who enjoy tank-style characters may want to pick up the option for a PC or retainer.

Parn Playtest II: A Bard for LotFP

In the interest of making a character for (my wife) Ellie to solo-romp around the "Eastern Wastelands" with, we made the Bard a LotFP class. This variation of the Bard is heavily based on 1e AD&D, and also adds a new skill, "Lore" to the game.

Parn Playtest Packet: Two New Classes For LotFP

Our game world has no 'short races' -- we cut out the Dwarves and Halflings and have replaced them with two of our own classes, which we've been testing out for a little bit now. The first is the Barbarian, inspired by Korgoth of Barbaria, Conan, Fire and Ice, and early 80's heavy metal imagery. In a land similar to Cimmeria (Conan's homeland,) the environment breeds men that can do far more damage with a weapon than most others. Their skill is needed to best the sorcerers, and the giant beasts that roam the land. They are needed to one-hit-kill the many men that would battle in large hectic environments.

The Barbarian gets a damage bonus equal to one plus his level, allowing him to do a lot more "guaranteed" damage against men and beasts alike. How many times have you swung at something in LotFP that had maybe 3-5 HP, only to roll a 1 or 2 on damage? The Barbarian doesn't stand for that nonsense. Expect serious wounds, even dismemberment.

The other class is a caste of near-Elves called the Felaness. These pointy-eared humanoids have small, sometimes indistinguishable cat features -- stripes, spots, eyes, or claws. Feared and hated as impoverished wanderers and/or genetic abnormalities, they live hectic lives which often calls for unusual talents. The inspiration is a little bit Thundercats, a little bit Skyrim, with the need coming from a removal of the Halfling class.

The Felaness gets some of the better saves available, while not being quite as hardy as LotFP's Halfling. The Felaness does not have a weapon restriction, but still has a great bushcraft ability. Those who take up this path also get a great stealth ability where cover is available, as the Felaness are adept at hiding in a pinch. You also get one of the better exp per level rates, better than the Halfling (but not as good as the Specialist.)

The following PDF is a rough idea of our two classes. We'd appreciate any feedback you have on how to make them better!
