MD 403 - BeakMaster w/ Rhodrick Magsino
BeakMaster (they/them): This large bird creature has an excessive amount of beaks in their odd physiology that speak simultaneously. This hip hop bard shows up in markets and bazaars to sell you music albums in compact disc (CD) form. They have 1d6 albums for sale every time you meet. They’ll provide a CD player boombox with speakers or a personal unit with headphones with each purchase. Once you meet BeakMaster, they will always be around: at parties, on the street, in front of stores, at the bottom of dungeons, even in other dimensions. BeakMaster concerts have been world-changing events.
D6 Payments: The payment will change each time you meet BeakMaster.
- A baked good
- Your immortal soul
- A gallon of your tears
- All of your blood
- Half of your liquid assets
- A pack of crayons
D6 Albums: Each album is an hour long. When you listen to a full album with intention, you’re imbued with its special ability for 24 hours.
- Self-titled: Get a mirror reflection of yourself.
- Squawk Lobster: Gain a weirdly fashionable, feathery yet hard, carapace across your back.
- Birds of a Feather Fight Together: A fighting bonus while in a phalanx-esque formation.
- Various Artists: Forgets their name, identity and past.
- Counting Crows’ Feet: Grow razor-sharp talons.
- BeakBoxer Remix: Swaps bodies.
