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

The Fool

This wandering vagabond lives on the road, walking the paths of the Borderlands with no particular destination in mind, driven forward by the whims of fates. Begging & scrounging his way from town to town, The Fool calls no place home; he lives on the verge of the limitless possibilities that lie hidden on the road ahead, undaunted by the cares & concerns of the rational world. Oblivious of what is to come, the Fool lives in the present moment; leaving the past behind & always pressing forwards towards his uncertain future.
