This site was a project to make a list of available skills per Dungeon Degenerate character, which then went a bit overboard. It is based on the card CSS renderering work done by Stephan Beal for his excellent Morbad Tools site.

There is a total of 1079 entries in the site. Last updated Sun May 24 2026

Crooked Cop

The Crooked Cop made his way through the ranks of the Schlager. He started out wanting to be a good cop. But being a good cop didn't get him what he wanted. During his service he saw very clearly that a life outside of his dedication to the Empire, amongst the criminals & other scum he was tasked with controlling was what he sought: freedom. He yearned to wake up each morning & decide what he would do for himself instead of being constantly barked at by the Uberschlager. Soon the Crooked Cop found himself working with the degenerates that he was tasked with beating into submission. He would befriend them & take favours in exchange for looking the other way of their shady dealings. Soon the Crooked Cop's bosses noticed that he was too friendly with the rabble & they didn't hesitate in beating him down & throwing him, broken, into the dungeon.

Pigskin Port

The stench of Pigskin Port is infamous, its main street features row upon row of abattoirs, livestock pens & mazes of ramps & catwalks where herds of swine are led to the slaughter. A complicated & chaotic network of chutes & pipes carries the offal & blood of the slaughtering floor to outlet into the river where it is carried South towards the Würstreich.
