Gary Gygax's Dangerous Journeys (Mythus)

This should be all the official (physically) published content for Dangerous Journeys. (it was not exactly cheap to acquire some of them.) I kind of went down this rabbit hole because people were not happy with the Frog God Games' 5E version of Necropolis (it was watered down and integrated into FGG's house setting) and I was curious about the OG version. (I also have the d20 conversion which expands upon the DJ text somewhat.)

The GM screen isn't in the best shape but because the packet consists of 2 cardboard screens and a booklet, I opted for an eBay listing that showed pictures of all the parts, to ensure it was complete. (I have another copy on the way.)

Epic of Ærth has a few loose pages that had been re-glued into the back in the wrong order, so I re-detached them.

The third novel is a Canadian printing rather than American like the other two. American printings DO exist but I'm not too fussed about it (the only notable difference seems to be the copyright page). It's kind of funny that the first volume has an embossed and full foil cover, the second has just embossing, and the third has neither.

The sourcebooks form this wedge pattern across the spines. Kind of. It's not perfect.

Here's my collection of the Palladium Fantasy 1st edition books, just to show off...

I don't have the GM screen (feels like nobody does).

I opted for the later rulebook printing with illustrated cover because it's the one I remember a junior high classmate had. (Monsters and Animals also has an earlier printing with different cover.)

This was a time when the AD&D DMG was leisure reading for me, so somehow I was able to slog through the text without complaining too much. I can't say that I ever really actually grasped the system (or tried to create a character with it, like with AD&D). What has become clear, though, is that all this reading must have contributed in some way to me ending up in the technical writing field too (but not specifically trained in it—I learned on the job).

Since Rifts is built on the same system, for snarky commentary on that, there's Back to the Rifter.

Wassup, figure you'd get a kick out of what i found (and bought) at a pawn shop a few years ago:

Any tips for running it?

Yeah – run as fast as possible.

AU where PIWD is a RPG game that follows LBH defeating the disgraced cultivator turned demon king (emperor? lord? Whatever) Shen Qingqiu and becomes the demon king and gets a harem made up of his adventuring party.

Shen Yuan had playing it and it sucked major ass (I might make him fond of SQQ again the au is growing on me ngl). He enters the modding community for the game. He makes mods that give story behind the characters, give the girls actual personalities, fleshes out the villain, etc. He's fairly popular in the community and is well known to be Airplane's biggest hater.

Shen Yuan gets a helper eventually someone that also dislikes how the story went (totally not Airplane on an Alt account. nope.) and together they work on a mod that completely rewrites the whole thing because the game mechanics are good enough. (Airplane finally gets to tell the story he wanted)

It's their magnum opus. It takes years to finish and when they finally upload it, bullshit happens and they both end up croaking because yay 😊

Shen Yuan gets thrown into the modded version of PIDW. He is the current demon king's son. He recognizes that he will be the demon king that is the predecessor to Shen Qingqiu.

He tries to run away from his fate and ends up running right to the throne and accidentally becomes way over qualified. He eventually resigns to his fate and instead focuses on making sure his staff is loyal to him because the former demon king was betrayed by his staff or something.

Shen Yuan ends up becoming one of the most well liked kings in their history without realizing it.

One day when he's doing fuck all in the mortal realm. He encounters a town gets raided. He came too late to stop it, but he did manage to take down the raiders (Huan Hua Palace). He looked over the town and didn't find many survivors, one was a little girl that he picked up after she clung to him in desperation.

He takes the survivors back with him and makes sure they're fine, but accidentally adopts the girl since she tugged at his heartstrings. So he has a daughter now.

Years pass and he becomes an old man before he figures out how to halt his aging (old man Shen Yuan makes me feel things). And by then his daughter (take a wild guess who it is with my track history. c'mon we all know it's Su Xiyan) is an accomplished cultivator.

He's proud of his daughter and insists that she at least visits him. Su Xiyan eventually joins a sect/guild (honestly depends on how much RPG I want to make this) and gets aquatinted with the people there.

She becomes friends with one of the cultivators there named Shen Jiu and they're both very catty and take shit all the time.

Things happens, plot occurs, and Su Xiyan accidentally releases an ancient demon that had been sealed away for centuries. She is fascinated by his pathetic rizz and decides that "sure, I'll fuck that."

She brings back her totally-not-demon boyfriend to the rest and he is accepted in (YQY couldn't find it in himself to really gaf). Eventually Huan Hua Palace requests for help to take down the demon king.

And even though they have an ancient demon among them they said "yeah sure :)" Cang Qiong ends up being the ones to actually do the journey.

They get there, it was a tiresome and perilous journey. And they're finally at the demon king's throne room in front of this terrifying demon and this terrifying demon is like

SY: "Oh my God. Hi Xiyan you're visiting again? You were here a few days ago. Are these your friends? :D"

SXY: "Hey dad. These are my friends also we're here to kill you :)"

SY: "Woah really? That's great, sweetie! Make sure to aim for the head :D"

The cultivators get their asses handed to them (Tianlang-jun's ass was NOT helping)

And instead of getting killed by Shen Yuan he invites them to dinner to recover their strength. And like the demon king is like pretty chill and asks if they want to try to kill him again. Yue Qingyuan proposes an alliance instead.

Shen Yuan agrees because he figured out that trying to run from your fate brings you straight to it, and he might as well benefit his kingdom before he's killed.

The dealings take a while (a suspicious amount of time) so Yue Qingyuan, Shen Qingqiu, and Shen Yuan get aquatinted. They start having tea and gossip and maybe start a bookclub :D

Shen Yuan thinks he somehow thinks he befriended the guildmaster and his future murderer and is a little confused while Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu is like "This Gap Moe is Crazy. We wanna fuck this old man 🤝🤝🤝"

Eventually they do, in fact, fuck that old man. Su Xiyan is not impressed that her friends are dating her dad. Tianlang-jun is personally enjoying the fanfiction.

some tokens i've made for people in a massive experimental campaign i joined with parties containing up to twelve (12) players simultaneously. the GM wants to test the limits of the game and themselves and have split the player pool into five groups, each playing a different day.

(my token, thursday group)

My collection of swords, from a few years back, I think 2021? A swordtember collection.

Oh noooo this round sees Wyll vs Astarion! Both of these characters are romance options in Baldur's Gate 3, one a vampire, the other a monster hunter --- I think... they should kiss... (i do write a lot of wyllstarion fanfics on my ao3 *cough*).

Two of my absolute favorites and if you know them, you know they would vote for each others.

Proof can be found in this edit I made:

All round three voting polls are here!
