Why did four humans die at the hands of a bunch of rats and spiders? Someone also had a question mark on his face.
If in reality, this kind of thing would never happen. At most, it would be a little embarrassing. How could it be possible to die like this?
But this is a game that follows the rule book, and a level 1 character is a novice. A group of people can't figure out the rules of the game, and they rush into the warehouse without lights or anything. They are at a disadvantage in the dark.
, everyone has a blank slate and no equipment, so they can only rely on their fists.
The most important thing is that this group of people have no sense of role-playing at all, and they have no idea that they are actually only level 1 characters. When they talk about their actions, they are all over the top, and all kinds of legendary skills are spread freely without money.
And when the dice roll was made, someone felt that these four guys were cursed. Even this low-level spider could pass the poison test on them, directly allowing the four whiteboard characters to win the bid.
In addition, Jermaine, who got the magician template, rushed to the front line, using his character as a human shield. Fin, who got the warrior template, was thinking about feasible tactics in the dark, but did nothing at all. Liena
He was a character who used a Druid, but his skill slot was empty all of a sudden, so he had no chance. Another Ridan III, who got the female warrior template, was successfully attacked by a rat without knowing what he should do.
After all his companions died, he was surrounded by monsters and quickly followed in his companions' footsteps.
Amidst all kinds of negative judgments and disadvantages, the four martyrs successfully became heroes.
Okay. It’s too demanding for a group of people who have never played this type of game and don’t know what to do. Maybe it’s too much. But someone still can’t help but complain about them: “Your series of choices are really a disaster. It’s normal.
When you go to a strange place, why would you just break into a locked warehouse without asking for any information? A mage fights monsters with bare hands in a dark place? What are you thinking? At least remember what you are playing now
Characters, you are just fledgling adventurers. Even if you are in reality, any action should be thought through. Then why in the game world, don't you think more about whether it will work? Or is it because
This is a game, so you take it very lightly."
"No, I also acted like this in reality. Is there anything wrong?" The lich who was taught a lesson was a little dissatisfied and curled his lips and said this. The Elf Sword Dancer and the Silver-bearded Dwarf next to him nodded in approval. Only
The young king seemed a little confused and looked at both sides.
...Well, it’s no wonder that these people don’t have a high sense of involvement. They are all guys who can walk around in the world of the Lost World. How can they understand the hardships of weak people like us.
"In short," someone clapped his hands and regained everyone's attention. He said, "Don't think of what you are going to do next as a simple game, but as another period of your life. You are very weak there.
But it is a novel world, and there will be novel experiences. It is no different from reality. It is like you don’t know what will happen in the next second, whether it will rain later, and what you will encounter if you go down this road.
Got something.──”
Someone gave a nondescript description, and the serious king asked softly in confusion: "Will it rain? The predictions of the Druid masters are very accurate. Then if we go down this road, we will go to His Majesty Lahti's place, right?"
.”
"──Anyway! In short, please think more carefully about how you want to live in that different world. Of course, and most importantly, how to take risks and make your life colorful. Instead of watching it every day
Seeing the same scenery, meeting the same people, and doing the same things. At least, in my world, you are free."
"Free? This sentence is very heavy. Are you ready to bear it?" Fen smiled slightly, but his words were threatening.
A chill ran down someone's spine and he looked at the lich whose smile never faded. Fen stretched out his hand and signaled the start of the next round. Lin, filled with doubts, briefly restated the original opening and then focused on
Returning to Candlekeep in the Faerûn continent, he asked: "Then adventurers, what should you do?"
"I stood behind my adoptive father, picked up the hardcover book on the table, and launched a sneak attack on my adoptive father."
The action Fen chose frightened everyone. Not only the participants, but also those watching the show and the guards responsible for guarding the young king all had dumbfounded expressions. She used her inscrutable expression
With a smile, he looked at the 'god' in front of him and asked: "Why, can't I act like this?"
Lin, who returned to normal, looked up the rule book he had written and said: "No, of course you can choose to act like this. I need you to roll a sneak attack check." Then a minute later, the group was destroyed...
"Wait a minute, what's going on with this random adoptive father on the side of the road who is a legend?" Jermaine asked in confusion.
"Don't you listen to my background introduction? Candlekeep is the place with the largest collection of books in Faerûn. There are many scholars studying there, and the environment is relatively closed. In a world full of dangers, a force that can do this
, it’s normal to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon inside.”
"Okay, even if it's normal, what does level suppression mean? What is level?" Jermaine asked again. Then someone didn't know how to answer...
Yes, what is Level? How to explain this super basic setting? It’s like air and water. Most people don’t even think about the reason for this kind of thing.
After thinking for a while, Lin showed a level 1 character card that no one was using, and said: "Look, this is your character in the world of Faerûn. In reality, people will undergo training or actual combat training.
Then it becomes stronger. But by how much? Or that change actually makes it worse, we have no way of knowing. We can only verify it in the next battle, and the next time, and the next time. But it exists in this way.
It’s impossible to judge characters in such a vague way.──”
Pointing to the blank character card and the almost blank skill column. Also displayed are the chapters about levels, skills, etc. in the rule book. "─So the way to show the growth of these characters is to constantly use skills or certain skills.
When using certain skills, the character will accumulate proficiency; after fighting, the character will accumulate experience points. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, the character's growth will be represented by 'upgrading'. Therefore, the difference in level can be regarded as Faerun
The difference in strength and weakness on the continent. Of course, the outcome in a battle does not entirely depend on the gap between levels, there are other factors that will determine the outcome."
"Oh, how do you get experience points?" Fen asked.
"Well, it's actually written in the rule book. In addition to getting different amounts of experience points based on the enemies you defeated after the battle, if you complete tasks entrusted by others, you will get certain experience points based on the difficulty of the task.
.Also, if you get experience from some strong people, you can also gain experience points."
"Is it okay to defeat any kind of enemy?"
"Well, yes. As long as you start a battle and defeat the enemy, you can gain experience points."
"Okay, let's start the next one quickly." Fen's eyes were almost crescent-shaped, and he couldn't wait for the next one to start.
Seeing that this lich had no idea what weird idea he had come up with, Lin looked at the others who were equally puzzled, but their expressions seemed to be looking forward to the next adventure. So it was a similar opening, but this time
Hui added some more descriptions to the background introduction. "Adventurers, how will you act?"
"Can I observe other people's strength?" Fen asked first.
"Well, you can. But you don't have the relevant skills, and you don't have enough adventure experiences. Simply put, you haven't sharpened your eyesight yet, so you can only make a rough judgment."
"Then I want to observe my adoptive father's strength. Do I need to roll a dice?"
"That's not necessary. Because you are the relatives who raised you. From the friends you have with your adoptive father and from hearing about his past adventures, you know clearly that your adoptive father is a very powerful magician. He also has extensive contacts and rich knowledge."
"Oh, that's great." Fen said, looking excited at the thought of a strange idea, "Then I'll leave home and look for lone passers-by on the road."
Well, I kind of realized that Fen had a crooked idea. As a DM, of course there was nothing to stop her, so when Fen killed the first lone passerby, she got a lot of eyeballs that were about to bulge.
At first, other companions were a little puzzled and even resisted such behavior. However, after Fen's character upgraded and the loot was found from the corpse, everyone became loyal believers in the chaotic evil camp, like a mad dog.
Kill everyone you see. Then they are slaughtered by the guards from Candlekeep...
"Why would the guards guarding Candlekeep attack us?" Jermaine asked dissatisfied.
"You committed murders on the road in broad daylight. Although you selected some lone passers-by who looked easy to bully at first, you did not hide the bodies after killing them. If in reality, you think such a thing would not be possible.
Once you are discovered, you will kill everyone in the entire gathering place. You guys should also help, even if you do bad things, you still have to use your brain, okay?"
Criticism is very useful, at least this group of participants learned something from it. Just like this, a guy who is the game host saw this group of people using various postures to destroy them all night long. But they are indeed doing this
In the process, I started to read the rule book and became familiar with how to play the game.
Especially when I saw with my own eyes that they only spent a few minutes briefly browsing the rule book, and after switching back to the profession they were familiar with, they were able to take advantage of the attributes of these characters. All kinds of stealing, cheating, saping, dragging, etc.
Dark alleys, covered with cloth bags, are even easier to do.
Even the young elf king turned into a wretched man. Relying on the skills of the druid profession, he became the main force to attract the attention of NPCs. Then there were other people's various unsavory actions, which made everyone suspicious.
Did you make some bad games specifically to teach bad children?
