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.

Wasted Youth

The Wasted Youth is an orphan. His parents hoped he would become one of the ranks of the Schläger before abandoning him on the steps of the Holy Order to be raised by the church. He didn't fit into the rigid expectations of the priesthood & their plans for the unwanted. The Wasted Youth escaped & found his way to Brüttelburg. In Brüttelburg he lived on the streets & gained an affinity for pigeons. Naturally curious, fidgety & sneaky he fit well into the busy, nervous & cramped city life. After a while the Wasted Youth was welcomed into the Black Bats gang & became somewhat of a mascot for them as their youngest member.

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rapid expansion & slow decay layered on top of the alien stonework form a labyrinthine sprawl, its only maps long gone out of date.
