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.

Solitary Swordsman

Famed for cutting down his many rivals with ease he has had many challengers, but thus far none have equalled his deadly skill with his blade. Walking the windy Foothills paths alone, he lived by the sword; selling his services as a peerless warrior for shelter & rations before moving on, lest word of his presence should spread. Wherever he goes, the Solitary Swordsman inevitably leaves a trail of bodies in his wake & unsurprisingly he's seen the inside of many a prison cell. Rest assured, he's cut himself free from far more dangerous predicaments.

Squash Sorcerer

human ∙ wild ∙ wizard

When you succeed in your Recovery action on doubles in an Outside󰀖 space gain 1 Luck󰀣

+8 󰀆 | +4 󰀰 | +3 󰀣

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.
