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

Naughty Naturalist

The Naughty Naturalist once fancied himself an avid adventurer& learned explorer; exposing himself to nature with a lust for life & an intimate familiarity with the fauna of the Borderlands. Publishing theories on the reproduction cycles of wildlife, his controversial methods made him an outcast among his peers. The sin-finders soon came looking for him to ask questions based on rumours of inappropriate & illegal conduct. Now, he longs to walk fancy & free, hoping to continue his forbidden studies & probings of the mysteries of life, ever eager to reveal the naked truth for all to see!

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rapid expansion & slow decay layered on top of the alien stonework form a labyrinthine sprawl, its only maps long gone out of date.
