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.

River Pirate

The River Pirate grew up in Fishmonger Camp but the daily drudgery was not for her. Her loud-mouthed rough & tumble impatience clashed with the pragmatic discipline of the fishmongers, so she travelled to the free & lawless North. Joining up with a shady gang of Highland brigands, she took to lurking along riverbanks & attacking the shipments of supplies sent down the river from Pigskin Port. With a fierce battle cry, she swings her axe & cuts boatmen free of their possessions, always staying one step ahead of the law! Well... almost always.

The Foothills

The Foothills are a prodigious expanse of roling hillsides & pastures spotted with farmsteads & ancient stone fortifications eroded by the wind that offer shelter to vagrants, cults, refugees & robbers. Processions of Weirds travel freely across the countryside; part warband & part circus parade, they spread their insanity unchallenged & unabated.
