1d5 Trans Cosmic Treasures of the Void For Your Old School Campaigns

"To shake off the maddening and wearying limitations of time and space and natural law—to be linked with the vast outside—to come close to the nighted and abysmal secrets of the infinite and the ultimate—surely such a thing was worth the risk of one’s life, soul, and sanity!"
HP Lovecraft The Whisperer in Darkness September 1930



The treasures & relics of the vastness of space are not something that the greedy trans cosmic space ways readily give up within the realm of the nine planets. These places are guarded by horrors drawn to the scent of occult power & the promise of the flesh of our planes. Relics & bits of ancient civilizations & rare occult artifacts of power still lie in the remote vastness of space & our own solar system. 


Many of these treasures & relics were lost when the wars broke out between our universe & those from beyond who hungered at the gateway for that which they could not have. These treasures often bare the taint of those early wars with strange &  weird  curses of occult & supernatural power. These powers often manifest within 1d6 days & can cause chaos or Lovecraftian mutations of a most dire type. There is a 5% chance that prolonged exposure to these relics can cause a 'living cancer' to manifest within 1d6 months of owning one of these treasures. Powerful super science treatments costing thousands of credits may haul the progress of occult diseases created by the owning of these objects. Only a remove curse or cure light wounds spell may relieve the symptoms of these mutations. But even this does not dissuade relic hunters, pirates, & adventurers from the hunt for these valuables.  Many of these objects also contain valuable information or other weird occult abilities that outweigh the risks to life & sanity.
