Okay fine I will make a compromise, +1 bonus to Spot Check Roll for the Barbarian and +2 Bonus for the Thief Trap evasion roll, effectively the same roll sheet as everyone else. Happy? Let's move on from this simple beginning room and go into the more important rooms, that also contain money...

"Hmm, interesting point."

The group accepts the rules without further GM info.

*blow for luck*

Spot Check (everyone roll your 1d6, people!)
Roll1;Thief's spot check: 1d6 (If 5 or higher, +2 to Roll 5)
4+1=5

Beware! A trap yonder. Heed carefully.

Trap Roll, roll a 1d6, for every whole number below 4, take 1 injury damage token, this will be explained later. It has already been explain, but I don't want to repeat myself)

Roll 5; Thief's trap dodge roll (1d6, +2 modifier for inherent trap specialization and agility, (another +2 if succeeded Roll 1)
4+4=8

Roll 6; Cleric's trap dodge roll (1d6, (another +2 if succeeded Roll 2)
4+2

Roll 7; Barbarian's trap dodge roll (1d6, another +2 if succeeded Roll 1)
1+2=3 Fail (-1)

Ack! By CROM that smarts!

Roll 8; Jesters trap dodge roll (1d6, another +2 if succeeded Roll 1)
5+2=7

The party moves to enter the next room.

(one moment)

Barbarian is "injured".

DM: Please describe the second room the party enters.

You have these cards(your eyes only).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Red: create monster(s), play more than one for stronger.
Green: create a trap or trick of some kind, like the door locking. Play more for stronger.
Yellow: Add treasure to a room. More for more valuable. Influences hero behavior.
Blue: Add more branching paths, or make the room larger and harder to navigate.

You can now mix green and blue to create puzzles.

R Y B R B

GM, you now have cards too (your eyes only)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Red: Your new rule has more influence than normal, play more for a stronger effect.
Green: Change your wording of a rule. This counts as an update to the rules between sessions. Play more to increase the importance of the change to the players. As it is a new session, they have default hunger again.
Yellow: Play these to give a player snacks to share with the others. Makes them agree more with his/her opinions on a vote or gameplay strategy. More for more influence.
Blue: A player notices a rule that may help them that you, I, or the DM already wrote. Play more to make the detail seem more important in the manual/notes/memory.

You have 1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green, and 2 blue

Playing cards for DM and GM should be done in a private spoiler, DM may also put hidden aspects of a room in a spoiler. Pretty much anything else should not be made private.

GM, please standby.

I said a +2 bonus to evading the trap, not spotting it for the thief, should of been more specific. Also, what the heck!, thief why did you just go on and tell them? You know their is a Pride Mechanic, where if you don't give your allies helpful information or ignore them for wealth, than you get even more money. Don't you want some pride points, scoundrel?

Spoiler: Players Can See This (click to show/hide)

The next you room you encounter is a gruesome sight, that any of you with a sense of humanity should look away. Their is still some dim light covering the place as crevices to the holes of the ceiling of the dungeon still gives light, but very little of it. You expect that if none of you brought torches or other means of light (holy magic?), than you will be walking in complete darkness for the next room. Anyways what's so appalling is at the center of the room you see what looks to be a large... anthropoid!, at least the size of a cow, it resembles the shape of a scorpion. This creature is occupied by this orange looking humanoid with long stubby ears, that seems to be chewing on human flesh, wait that's a Arm!, disgusting. Their seems to be a whole pile of human corpses alongside the small-to-medium sized orange humanoid and cow-sized scorpion, also their is a small campfire aside them as well. They probably used that to cook/roast the "meat". A few meters away you see two small green humanoid both sitting around a small wooden table, feasting on much more "refined" meat than just raw, you think it's not human. Your general sense is that these guys are the common goblins you adventures often encounter, and than you overhear a chat from them.
Goblin Lackey 1: I don't know how Mr. Feral over here can eat raw flesh, I mean we killed a couple of peasants, but eating them is a little too crazy for my taste
Goblin Lackey 2: Yeah, me too. I mean this horse meat we are eating is a lot more tastier than that stuff. Maybe the bawss will allows us to take down a pastry for them pies and cakes, Mmmmm.
Goblin Lackey 3: Good Joke
Their also seems to be a couple of bags of coins on the table, where the goblins are eating horse venison. It seems like you guys might be able to do a sneak attack on these guys, along as you won't vomit at the smell of human corpses.

Spoiler: Don't Look At This Players (click to show/hide)

Enemy List:
Two Reds are Used and 1 Yellow is used.
-A giant scorpion, around the size of a cow, it is tamed by the Feral Goblin Beastmaster. It scales are quite thick and armored. Also has a poisonous sting.
-A Feral Goblin Beastmaster, seems to like the the taste of flesh. It is larger than the green goblins. Equipped with a improvised wooden short bow, small hide armor, two iron daggers
-2 Goblin Lackeys, small green goblins, their I.Q has much to be desired from. Equipped with a Blowpipe, small leather armor, and an iron dagger

-I will introduce a stealth, combat, and pride mechanic system in the morning. I think this is enough.

Very ambitious, but no.

When an event calls on a system, the GM(also read as "Game Manual") is the prime source. You then may offer house rules.

[johiah]

I guess I can work on stealth now.
DM. First off, roll a d6 for the perceptiveness of each enemy goblin, and a d8 for the scorpion.
Next roseheart, if you would be so kind, could you assign the sneakiness levels of each character based on their abilities. As in, smaller people. (Thief) is a d8+2. Normal sized people, (cleric and jester) are a d8+1. The barbarian is a d8. Then, when the team attempts to sneak by, it is their sneakiness + a d6 roll, minus the enemy they are sneaking pasts' perceptiveness + a d6 roll. If the number is one or higher, they successfully sneak. If it is 0, they will be spotted immediately starting next turn. Lower than that is a fail and they are spotted.
How does this look?

Woops

DM, would you attempt to push any house rules before I do?

The only problem I see in your system is that what if the Cleric is wearing chain mail?, I think for their 1d8 roll they should get a -2 penalty if wearing chain mail/whatever, and a -3 penalty if it's like plate mail.
I'm also going to give an example to the HP and Pride System mechanic

Spoiler: Health System (click to show/hide)

As you guys have seen, the Barbarian is quite injured, and so now I am now going to talk about Injury Tokens. Each character has a maximum value of damage they can take before they fall in combat, in combat for every whole number below a successful attack taken by a creature/monster, it takes a respective amount of injury tokens. Once a character reaches enough injury tokens they are at Death's Door, if a character is at deaths door and takes another point of damage/ take an extra injured token, they are finally dead. Enemy creatures don't have Deaths Door, once they take enough damage they die, except enemy bosses will instead once reaching maximum points of damage, will have a Comeback mechanic, this will be explained later. Let's now explain your constitution and the maximum amount of each injuries you can take
5/6 Barbarian, you are a healthy figure and tanky person, you are designed to take lots of damage. You get a lot of constitution
4/4 Cleric, you wear defensive chainmail armor I think? But your character is a jack of all trades with healing magic, you are at average health
4/4 Jester, a Jester doesn't seem particularly healthy, but I'm giving you the average amount of health. Be happy with me, okay? Also who the heck throws bombs as a weapon, that is the most niche weapon I have ever seen
3/3, Rogue you are designed to dodge hits, not take them. Better be careful fam

Also roseheart, I'm going to edit this for my Pride Mechanic house rule, a moment please...

Spoiler: Pride Mechanic, it's a house rule (click to show/hide)

Thief you know I would of given you a Pride Token if you didn't tell the other heroes about the trap, they are very valuable. They allow you to level up faster, get more money, or do power actions.
HOW TO ACQUIRE PRIDE TOKENS: I as the DM whenever you are a general scumbag, and don't tell the other heroes their a trap, ignore them in combat to get first grabs at the loot of a particular room, or don't give them pivotal information with a puzzles I might give, than you get a Pride Token
How to Use Pride Tokens: You can use a Pride Token for many things, first you can trade your Pride Tokens for extra money and wealth, trade them in for extra XP to level up faster, allow an reroll of dice, or get a +1 modifier to any roll when you use a Pride token (they stack!)

Y'see fellow heroes, being scumbag, like you thief, is actually a good thing and even allow you to help your fellow adventures because you get dice re-rolls and such. So think before you help your team, you may actually be losing a Pride Token.

GM, would you politely give me a combat system, remember range attacks and armor. As the Cleric is wearing chainmail I'd assume, and the scorpion has large thick scaled armor. Also a sneak attack mechanic, let's say the thief is the only one who wants to get a sneak attack, because the other members like the Cleric and Barbarian might risk getting spotted, so they only allow him to get a sneak attack.
Edit: Also could you explain healing magic for the Cleric, it would be helpful. Also any of these system I introduce,like the health system, is effectively a house rule and can be voted against by he players and GM

[RoseHeart]

I am neglecting this a little bit while I update D R, may wish to wait for my next post.

[RoseHeart]

I said a +2 bonus to evading the trap, not spotting it for the thief, should of been more specific. Also, what the heck!

The thief player looks embarrassed, but as you move to proceed the issue is dropped with the assumption to just do it your way next time.

thief why did you just go on and tell them? You know their is a Pride Mechanic, where if you don't give your allies helpful information or ignore them for wealth, than you get even more money. Don't you want some pride points, scoundrel?

No one has any idea what you are talking about. But before anyone can ask, you proceed, and it is assumed you are teasing a house rule you'll explain later.

The next you room you encounter is a gruesome sight, that any of you with a sense of humanity should look away.

Their is still some dim light covering the place as crevices to the holes of the ceiling of the dungeon still gives light, but very little of it. You expect that if none of you brought torches or other means of light (holy magic?), than you will be walking in complete darkness for the next room.

Anyways what's so appalling is at the center of the room you see what looks to be a large... anthropoid!, at least the size of a cow, it resembles the shape of a scorpion.

[RoseHeart]

Tempted to reboot this.

With human players. Seems like it would play like mafia. You could both keep your roles, if you want, and reuse as much as desired.

Those playing the heroes would have roles too. What kind of house rules they can agree with, and when they can disagree.

What do you think? (right now it is a little exhausting to pretend to be four people)

Edit: also, it seems a little wasteful. You two are actually making a game, which I suppose was inevitable but I didn't expect this much. That's a compliment.

So would be a waste not to have players actually be playing... the players.

Edit: Actually if ppl jst want to take over we can just do that.

[RoseHeart]

Ok. I NEED to make a new thread. I need more OPs to stick rules and dungeon info/beastiary ect ect.

I have decided I will not continue playing the players. It's too much work and it's a waste of what this is end up making.

I'll let you guys tell me if you want to keep the same roles. And hey you can reuse pretty much any of this as the game progresses. Let me know if you want to be in again or if you had enough.
