Oddities: First Supplement for Odd Soot

'Sometimes, a random confluence of genes comes together to produce a child who is simultaneously gifted and cursed. Gifted, because their minds or bodies are capable of surpassing normal human capabilities; and cursed, in that their very oddness sets them apart from the run of normal humanity.'

I have worked with Alex Greene, writer for Mongoose Traveller among other things, to create a new character path for Odd Soot. It’s called Oddities and Alex has crafted a unique concept to generate truly odd individuals, fitting right into Odd Soot. They possess fantastic abilities - but also weird looks that other people might shy away from.

The character path can be used for PCs and NPCs alike. Patrons, villains and heroes work equally well for these quirky individuals.

Oddities are based on the book Odd John by British sci-fi writer Olaf Stapledon. His work is often mentioned as direct inspiration for many modern authors, like Arthur C Clarke, Stanislaw Lem and Vernor Vinge.

Oddities is a 15 page PDF and consists of generators for superlative traits, disproportions, alienating passions and several inventions.

We’re offering it as a free download:
