#RPGaDAY – August 24, 2025 (REVEAL)

Reveal – I must confess and reveal that this entry is a day late.  I completely forgot to do my August 24th blog entry yesterday and do not really have any reason why.  I have been watching an older series on HBO Max, Banshee and watched a bunch of episodes after taking my wife to the airport for her work trip to Hawaii. Anyway, it completely slipped my mind until this morning, when I remembered. So, I am playing catch up and will do todays and yesterday’s now. I feel like I let myself down mostly, since this was just supposed to be a creative exercise on my part and only me is reading it.

For reveal, I have always played my homebrew worlds with the idea that each alignment gives off a specific color which shows up as an aura surrounding anything with an alignment.  When someone detects alignment or uses some sort of true sight or seeing ability, they can see the color of the aura and know the actual alignment.


Alignment colors:

LE – Black        LG – White      LN – Grey        N- Brown        NE - Orange

CE – Red          CG – Blue        CN – Gold                                        NG – Green


I have had characters who could detect only partial/specific alignment aspects, like good/evil, or even law/chaos and those saw multi-color auras – Good would see white/blue/green and Evil would see black/red/orange. For the Lawful the aura would be black/white/grey and Chaos would be red/blue/gold.  Neither of those powers could distinguish the true neutral brown color.

August #RPGaDAY Stuff

Image
 Hello. My name is Mike and I am a long time RPG player and DM (45+ years.) I am going to participate in the 2025 August #RPGaDAY event and try to post something RPG related each day. I posted the www.Autokratik.com post below, outlining the event details. This is my first time doing a blog or anything like this, so hopefully I do it correctly and if anyone actually looks at this stuff, it is a positive and enjoyable experience. Thank you. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFMTdy1ikxs8nLLyWXuXBsIdswN6if2ogwTIUDN1T19MEJcNyOXYM33GjmObZOKjYXAdkDLnWnDcnbWOFyIrzRtpzSof674oalI_7PxnmWVNkuAYmfAd6ixDlyrZ7QBCA2xEwqyPB_brX20v6-ifbRQXOqa8hRhdbUX4ieaMdrxuspFPeLWBKAJIrwohw

#RPGaDAY – August 1, 2025 (PATRON)

  #RPGaDAY – August 1, 2025 (PATRON) PATRON – Old Man Winter (aka Sankt Nikolai)               Hearty r esidents of the north often pay homage to Sankt Nikolai, the Old Man of Winter.   During the dark bitter cold times of the Winter Solstice, Old Man Winter offers warmth, protection, and bounty to the good folks of the north, especially innocent children, and their care givers. It is said that he knows when someone has been naughty or nice, bringing gifts and presents to good virtuous people and punishments to other morally questionable individuals .   Warlocks who bind themselves to Old Man Winter pledge to protect the good and punish the evil doers of the Northlands. They often gain resistances to nonmagical cold, the ability to see into someone’s heart, and the expertise to safely travel through difficult snow and ice terrain.   They gain access to a special Eldritch Invocation: *The Pa...

#RPGaDAY – August 5, 2025 (ANCIENT)

  #RPGaDAY – August 5, 2025 (ANCIENT) ANCIENT– This one stumped me for a while.   When I think of the word Ancient, dragons are the first thing that comes to mind of course. I did not want to go that route though, so I decided on old books from an ancient library. Our adventurers have sought long and fought hard to reach their objective, the Forsaken Library of the Ancients. Here resides powerful relics, scrolls, and ancient manuscripts, all but forgotten to the annals of time. They have been on a quest, set for them by the mighty wizard, Xeris to uncover t he Librum Arcanum Geographica: An Atlas of Ley Lines and Magically Significant Locations – Volume 3: The Feywild and Other lands beyond the Veil. Among the many ancient books and mystical tomes, they found were these works: 1.    1•    Bang, Zap, and Whiz: An Adventurer’s Guide to Evocation. Written by Far-Ranger Eilare and Magus Favrir. It has an eye catching red and white cover. It is rather ...
