#AppendixO

I've been posting random ttRPG ideas on social media since 2009, but only in late 202 did I think to put them all under an umbrella hashtag, "#AppendixO," harkening back to some of my earliest RPG books. I always thought I would, eventually, collect them all. They vary wildly in topic, but they are all my efforts at nuggets of ideas someone could use to enrich their home games, or perhaps be inspired to riff off of and create new ideas.

I turned my first pass to organize the 85 entries I've done so far into https://www.patreon.com/posts/104812234. But here's a selection of some of the most recent posts, representing about 10% of the ideas included in the larger full post.

Those who obey the Wode Law are reasonably safe and cared for within the Night Timbers regardless of their own beliefs, with no need to cut or build. The massive City of Coin is far more dangerous for all but the extremely wealthy and the Trade Towns are little better.

The Seahn Fey use humanoid teeth as money. The younger the humanoid the teeth come from, the more they are worth, though condition also matters. Some are woven into necklaces of hair.

The Order of Secrets claims to simply be a holy society of secret-keepers. To have no ulterior motive beyond gathering, protecting, and the secrets of others to honor their good Apokrathe. ... No one believes them. Even so, most courts have a Secretkeeper advisor.

The Realm of Goedalauss covers much of the harsh Tulin badlands. Heartier ancestries make up most of its citizens. Dwarves, gnolls, gnomes, hobogblins, and lizardfolk are most common, with humans, and orcs notable minorities. "Goedalan" is synonymous with "tough."
