CROWDSOURCING…

The antagonist in issue 6 of my Session Zero zine will have three moves based on certain aspects: Title, Clan and a Staff. The Staff will always be the same (The Staff of Souls), but The Title and Clan come from a card draw from a regular deck of cards.

Each card rank gives a different title, which gives the antagonist a specific artifact that comes with a move. Likewise each suit gives a different Clan name which tells what “eternal form” the antagonist has, and dictates another move.

Example: Kind of Diamonds = Kazlan Dirr, who is a Lich wearing the Crown of Command (and wielding the Staff of Souls).

Kazlan Dirr

HP, Armor, etc.

Lich description

Instinct: X

(which requires the Staff)

I have the four clans and the staff, and two of the artifacts (“Crown of Command” and “Tiara of Teleportation”) but need help with the other 11 artifacts. They need not be alliterations, but need to be concise enough that you can easily understand their move just by their name.

Thanks in advance. If I use your suggestion in the zine I’ll include your name with it!

Organization Tag Solitary: “It lives and fights alone”

Organization Tag Group: “Usually seen in small numbers, 3-6 or so”

Does anyone use a tag that means something like “Appears singly in mixed groups”?

I’m think specifically something like Leader or Individual. There will only be one of them, but they’ll appear in a group of other monsters. Not necessarily as an NPC, but more special, like a lieutenant or sergeant: A group of soldiers lead by a sergeant.
