WE MADE A GAME. IT IS HERE. IT IS CALLED THE WORST WIZARD. YOU SHOULD PLAY IT.
I actually wrote this last year in an interactive-fiction program called Ink, but we didn't get around to hosting it until now. It's still a little clunky but you guys should be able to figure out how to play it. Takes a little while to load, there's no visible scroll bar and there's no reset button so you have to reload the page when you die. Ink is better than Twine in most ways but the lack of free hosting is a killer.
The game is about an awful wizard that you have to find and kill. I hope that you enjoy it.

Gangster Generator
Here is a gangster generator I made instead of working on my thesis. For best results, read every entry in a Tony Soprano accent while listening to this.

The Art of Nine Limbs
Substitute Monk rules for our 5th Ed Yoon Suin game
Practitioners of Lethwei, the Art of Nine Limbs, learn one technique from the below list every level. Your Monk level must be equal to or higher than the level of the technique you wish to master, and you must learn these techniques from a master. This could mean training you Bull Style under the head of a martial arts school, or perfecting your Cobra Technique by striking the vital points of a hundred actual cobras
Use the Monk stats for hp (d8), proficiency, etc. Your unarmed attacks deal 1d4 damage and you gain an additional attack every third level. You can only use your Monk abilities while wearing no armour

truly, every part of the Siamese is blessed with venom |
level |
technique
|
|
1 | Boar - rushing attacks, especially with elbows and knees Charge forward and strike with blinding speed. You always win initiative if starting your turn with this move |
Bull - powerful charging strikes Charge forward and strike with the power of a bull tossing its horns. Throw people around, flip carts, mess up china shops |
2 | Deer - short leaps away from an attacker Actively dodge for the turn and you cannot be hit in melee |
Eagle - sweeping and blocking with both hands Actively dodge for the turn and you cannot be hit by projectiles |
3 | Python - chokes and locks Lock onto an opponent after a successful attack. If subsequent turns are spent maintaining the grip, the target is paralysed |
Scorpion - pinching and seizing nerve centres Block the target’s chakras after a successful attack; they cannot cast spells for 1d6 turns |
4 | Monkey - agile movements (requires Deer style) Perform any non-combat action while dodging and still avoid all melee attacks. Jackie Chan shenanigans |
Heron - fast arm movements and short jumps (requires Eagle style) Actively dodge for the turn and you can redirect up to two projectiles from any volley |
5 | Viper - attacks to the lower vital points The target’s movement speed is reduced to half and they lose dex bonuses to AC for the rest of the day. On a crit you may cripple them |
Cobra - attacks to the upper vital points If the target attempts to exert themselves next turn, they take your maximum unarmed damage |
6 | Tiger - clawing attacks Your unarmed attacks ignore all armour. Your fingers can gouge metal plate, crush rock, pulverise trees |
Leopard - circling; leaping at and tearing at opponents While above half health, you cannot be struck in melee by anyone lower level than you |
13 | Black Panther - taught by some teachers as a combination of all the animal forms Once per day, when below half health, you can spend your turn performing a nine strike combo on a single target. Roll nine attacks. If all nine strikes hit, the target receives triple damage |

some miscellaneous generators
I put some of the name generators from our ecosystem generator and our dungeon generator on Twine and set it up so you can generate them individually. Maybe that's useful, I don't know. HERE THEY ARE.
