There's a bunny down there, I promise

Care Bears inverted

The bears live in the land of Care-a-lot, named ironically after their apathetic inhabitants.

Each bear embodies a spell.

Each bear controls a part of the land - and inhabitants - through that particular spell. The spell shoots out from their belly, a ritual wrongly called the Care Bear Stare. The Stare is actually a hollow-eyed greeting demanded of the inhabitants. Ignore the stare and face the lair, as the old saying goes.

The color of their fur dictates the bear's natural/favoured environment/realm.

#	Name	Spell	Fur color and realm
1	Bedtime Bear	Sleep	Blue; The ocean floor
2	Birthday Bear	Create food and water	Golden yellow; Dry desert
3	Cheer Bear	Prismatic spray	Pink; City of Flesh Golems
4	Friend Bear	Charm person	Orange; The abandoned theater
5	Funshine Bear	Hideous laughter	Sunshine yellow; Beneath the Burned Sundial
6	Good Luck Bear	Obscuring mist	Green; The Furthest Forest
7	Grumpy Bear	Storm of vengeance	Dusty blue; Twilight Towers
8	Love-a-Lot Bear	Fear	Light pink; Heart-shaped Shores
9	Tenderheart Bear	Detect hostile intent	Brown; The Mud Moraine
10	Wish Bear	Meteor swarm	Light teal; The village of winged houses

Each bear is a demigod.

No bear care for the others.

PuterPlane (an extremely tiny setting): monsters

ABC 80-WAYS2DIE

• Djinn-ish
• The tornado-like body is actually smoke coming from overheated circuits inside its monitorhead.
• It can only maintain this form for 30 mins before it shuts down and needs to cool for 10 mins
• When in cooling mode it looks like an ordinary puter, turned off
• The overheated smoke-body-mode is achieved by running this small program:
  
  10 GOSUB 20
  20 GOSUB 10

Keyed Cobra

• Snake-ish
• It attacks with its keyboardhead, trying to punch in command sequences to curse its subject
• Each successful hit will leave a mark on the targets forehead in the shape of a letter (key)
• When the last letter in the command sequence is typed into the targets forehead, the curse activates
• Some command sequence examples and their effects:
  
  FORMAT C: (memory loss)
  CHCP 864 (target changes language)
  

Tandy Tentacles

• Octupus/blob-ish
• Oracle
• Those brave enough may ask a question by typing it in reverse on its keyboard
• The reversed typing is due to the fact that the Tandy Tentacle reads from the other side of screen, much like a mirror
• Lives on cowhide

Commodoreberus

• Hound-ish
• Gatekeepers
• Each monitorhead runs its own program, that helps the creature overall
• One head runs the past events-program (e.g. remembering stuff)
• One head runs the planner (e.g. how to move its legs, shortest route to places, avoiding danger, etc.)
• One head runs the monitoring program (e.g. are we hungry? are we overheating? are we being attacked? are we hurting?)
• The three monitorheads shares the same processor (found in its body), so each head only gets 1/3 of the processing power
• Cutting off/terminating a head does not make two new ones grow out, but it will give the remaining ones more processing power (for example: from 1/3 to 1/2)

Instead of hit points: a glass egg

Every person ever born has one hit point. This hit point is contained in a glass container, shaped like an egg. Inside, a semi-transparent gas that pulsates like cloud swept lightning can be seen.

The glass egg is your phylactery.

The gas is your one hit point.

If the egg breaks, the gas disappears and you die.

When you are born, the egg pops into existence somewhere near you. It could be the under the bed, or on a shelf in the castle, or in the well in the town square.

If you travel too far from the phylactery, your body starts to decay, accelerating the further you travel from it. But you won't die, as long as the egg is whole.

This is why many folks never move; they haven't found their phylactery, and the fear of travelling too far makes them stay put.

This is also how undead are made; regular people that travel too far from their glass egg, either driven away by force or ignorance. Remove enough flesh and soon you'll have yourself a zombie.

Pushing on even more, you'll end up as a skeleton.

And then, when the last bone withers away, you'll continue as a spectre; a pale sheet of your former self.

Liches are just powerful wizards that forgot to bring their glass egg with them. They stopped travelling when they got tired of flesh falling of their body.

Cure disease, or each cleric his own drug

Whenever cure/remove disease is cast, the target must make a CON-save.

If failed, the disease became (or was already) resistant to this particular cleric/normal person's version of cure/remove disease. The diseased individual still suffers from the disease, and may only be cured by another person but this time with a penalty (+1/-1 or similar). The penalty accumulates.

(Antibiotic resistance is serious problem, people!)

The Fan of Stones Behind the Tower (map)

Where is my mind? (or Who's head is this?)

There are magicks that messes with everyone's head - literally.

When caught, nothing happens (not even the slightest stomach ache).

But somewhere in the world, there's a headless being out to get you. Its head - or rather, the schematics for recreating the shape and functions and most memories - have been transferred to your DNA.

It rests there, inside you, doing nothing, until the poor headless creature comes within close range of you and the schematics activates - and you start transforming into its head. The creature will then pick up and attach its head (you), resuming business as usual.

Some explaining mechanics if you want/need that

Flow of the curse:
1. Person A is cursed
2. Random creature B loses its head
3. Creature B will start chasing after Person A (it will always know the general direction of Person A)
4. When Creature B is within range X of Person A, thing Y will happen (transformation still reversible)
5. When Creature B is within very close range of Person A, the head transformation will lock in and will complete
6. Creature B pick up its head and attaches it again
7. If Creature B is decapitated, the curse is reversed and Person A will unfold to its former self

To randomly determine what type of creature loses its head: use any random encounter table/long list of monsters you've got at hand. It may very well be another human being. Maybe not a kraken.

To determine how far away the creature is: common sense, or 1d12 days of travelling by foot.

Ranges and their effects (point 4 and 5 above): when Creature B is within 10 metres, the transformation kicks in and will not be reversible. Other than that: assuming a person has two legs, two arms, one torso and one head, render one random body part useless for every 100 meter the creature closes in (reversible), starting at a 600 metre range.

The Matryoshka Effect: however highly unlikely, there will always be a small risk that Person A, while cursed, loses his/her own head due to another person being cursed, and so on, ad infinitum.

Tell everybody to bring physical spell books

Some of us still use CDs. Or even LPs. Or musicassettes.

Why not use them as spell books?

• Track number is spell level
• Track name is spell name (obviously)
• The A-side contains the hits; good spells that doesn't take too long to cast or memorize, but their effect will fade over time
• The B-side will take longer to memorize, and their immediate effect on you (or the spell target) will not be obvious at first (e.g. there may be additional side-effects). It will take time to get used to these spells, and there will always be wizards claiming these to be their favourites
• Track length tells us its components (minute field), and range (seconds):
• Components (minutes):
• 0-1: Verbal (singing)
• 2: Verbal (growling)
• 3: Somatic (fine dancing, ballet)
• 4: Somatic (krumping)
• 5: Material (food)
• 6: Material (steel)
• 7 and above: combine the ones above in any way such as their sum equals the track length in minutes, for instance 5 (Food)+2 (Growl) = 7 minutes
• Range (seconds):
• 00-19: Personal
• 20-29: Touch
• 30-49: Earshot
• 50-58: Eye sight
• 59: Thought (if met in person less than an hour ago)

If the spell effect - drawn from the name of the spell (e.g. song title) - isn't obvious, it's up to the casting player to make up its effect to the GM in a convincing way. If you don't get your desired effect, add a undesirable side-effect to the spell (e.g. caster's nose grows each successful casting) and keep going. Or switch CD.

The Compleat Spell Book of The Blue Album

MY NAME IS JONAS
The target doesn't recognize you, even if you've previously met. More so, they won't be able to help you before you've stated your problem to at least three different people, all residing in different buildings.

Cast upon yourself to cause amnesia.


NO ONE ELSE
1st to 7th level: one additional target/every odd level
8th level: can instead specify an area up to 20 feet radius

The target(s) can't be affected by magical means besides spells cast by you. This also means any spells cast upon the target(s)/area immediately affects you.


THE WORLD HAS TURNED AND LEFT ME HERE
Spell level: 20

Also known as the reversed-levitation spell, or cosmic-disruption spell. The caster causes the planet s/he stands on to quickly change its course (randomly) through the universe, and cut off the caster from the planets gravitational pull (the planet actually forgets about this body).

As the planet keeps going on its new course, the caster remains in this fixed place, but to the naked eye it will look like this person drifts away into the sky, and further more, into space.


BUDDY HOLLY
Gates in a friendly golem named Holly, who will aid the caster for the next 160 seconds.
The golem suffers from myopia and needs to stand extremely close to its targets to successfully attack.


UNDONE - THE SWEATER SONG
Cast upon a target currently astral travelling to unravel their silver chord into multiple fibres. The target is now less vulnerable to the old hey-let's-cut-this-chord-and-kill-him-while-astral-projected, as long as at least one fibre is intact.

On the other hand, there's a risk a fibre snaps off and attaches to someone/something else - projecting in properties of the attached object into the astral walker.


SURF WAX AMERICA
Cuts travel time in half when seafaring.
If cast in a tavern, turns all ale into seawater.
If cast upon an incoming wave, turns it into a thousand pound keg,


SAY IT AIN'T SO
Forces the target to rephrase its last stated fact, rendering it false in a compelling way.


IN THE GARAGE
Sends targeted non-living things away to the nearest available space (in this world/plane).
When cast, roll and see where it ends up (the caster knows the exact spot after casting):

1. In the nearest dragon's lair
2. In a locked room at the last tavern visited
3. In the cavity of a giant's tooth (a really big giant)
4. Ten metres in front of the caster
5. At the bottom of the last lake crossed
6. 100 metres up in the air, seemingly stuck but actually falling at a rate of 1 meter/day

HOLIDAY

Just by sheer memorization of this spell, a stretch of land (most likely a road) in a strange and distant land will render the wizard invincible when s/he walks there.

The area is always eight metres wide, and as long as the caster's level in metres. On that road s/he will never die.

ONLY IN DREAMS

Conjures a tiny, tiny sprite parasite, that burrows into the victim's bone and marrow. They're caries to your skeleton.

The only way to rid one's body of them is to confront them in a dream. In these dreams, the sprite is always of human size, dressed in a gown, and demands a dance - after which a fight to the death is inevitable.
