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.

Eccentric Astronomer

The Eccentric Astronomer grew up in a world of schooling, a place where he was safe & encouraged to pursue knowledge. He eventually found himself in the hallowed halls of the University of Der Stein. His view into the real world was always through the distance of a telescope or the abstraction of the printed page. The Eccentric Astronomer was driven by an almost limitless curiosity. Luckily for him, the Würstreich is surrounded by endless space & contains an almost equally endless number of books. Unfortunately the Empire doesn't have patience for such flights of fancy. That kind of curiosity is seen as dangerous by the Empire so the Eccentric Astronomer was thrown in the dungeon.

Gain 1 Luck󰀣 if you pass your CON Test with doubles while using Gourmet on a Goblin or Human.

Brüttelburg

This walled city of truly massive proportions was built by a long-lost civilization of wizard-giants who carved their own titanic faces into the solid rock of the fortress walls. The vast city-fortress is divided into layers & districts by the immense fortifications & maddeningly complext design of the ancient stone walls & corridors. Ages of rapid expansion & slow decay layered on top of the alien stonework form a labyrinthine sprawl, its only maps long gone out of date.
