After who knows how many times the group was wiped out, a group of people were excitedly waiting for someone to start the next round, but Lin's eyelids were so heavy that he could hardly open them. He cheered up and said: "Hey, it's very late.
It’s late, won’t you sleep?”
"Hurry up and start, I just came up with another good idea."
The energetic look of this group of people reminded someone of his own experience of staying up all night unknowingly because of games when he was young. But can he compare to himself now? He doesn't want to accompany this group of people.
After a big yawn, Lin said, "I can't hold it any longer. Please find someone else to host it."
"But we don't know the story of Candlekeep?" Jermaine, who also wanted to continue playing, said loudly in protest.
"This is an adventure. People who are interested in hosting can bring out their own experiences, make some modifications, use some imagination, and then let the dice determine the difficulty of everything. What's the point? Look in the rule book and become a host.
Method, you can do it too. Or find other people with rich adventure experience, they can do it too. And, seriously, can't you just use some normal people's methods and go on adventures obediently? Help is needed
To help people, do some small tasks that can gain experience points, fight some mobs, seek justice, and don’t always engage in petty things. The continent of Faerûn is very big, and you are all setting yourself up again and again in Candlekeep.
What’s the point of playing to death? Anyway, those who are interested can ask Kaya to copy the rule book and study it.”
After saying that, someone didn't stop, took a deep sip of water, and then returned to the carriage with a flash spell.
Hosting a TRPG is not easy at all. Among various backgrounds, I would choose the Dungeons and Dragons series because it is the closest to life in the Lost Lands. In addition to being the easiest to understand, the natives of the Lost Lands are also very easy to understand.
It is easy to find adventure experiences that can be used as backgrounds in their respective stories.
In this way, there is no need to tie someone up to be the Wannian DM. As long as other people are willing to tell stories and let others participate according to the settings in the rule book, then anyone can be a game host.
If we choose another story background in the wasteland genre, just to explain what mutants are and what nuclear bombs are, I'm afraid someone will just tell some story settings that will make people sleepy all night long.
Running a group.
It would be even worse if it was a Cthulhu background, because previous experience would allow someone to know those indescribable existences. To the fandom, it is not something that only exists in storybooks. If those things are provoked again,
How many lives you have are not enough to die.
So in the original consideration, the uncertain part was whether the natives of Lost Land would accept this way of playing the game. But it seems that they are very interested in living a new life in a different way.
.
Not to mention the lich who misled everyone, she originally belonged to that camp. What about the others? A king of the Elf Kingdom, a young patriarch of the Silver-bearded Dwarf clan, and a prestigious Elf Sword Dancer
Or, look what good things they have done in Candlekeep? If in reality, they are not imprisoned in a pig cage and paraded through the streets, then it must be that the local people have holes in their brains. Someone would be hard-pressed just to be a DM.
, but they never tire of it.
However, another problem was exposed during the game. After all, this rule book was rushed out, and it is reasonable to be imperfect. There are not enough types of dice, and some rules are contradictory; especially to match the mystery of the land.
Cognition, so the basic attributes use eight powers, but there are many flaws in the design.
But... let’s talk after you wake up. Someone will become unconscious as soon as he touches the pillow.
The next morning, I rarely had a good night's sleep. Normally, the two apprentices would be punctual to disturb people's dreams, but today they deserted?
Climbing out of the carriage, Lin was shocked when he saw the situation in the camp. Most of the elves had haggard faces and two panda eyes, and they were very serious about... carving dice?
A group of people around the campfire. It seems that the participants have changed several times, and several people have taken turns as DM. But now they are swaying around, and each of them looks like they have just fallen asleep, but they fell into a deep sleep. Look.
In that position, it will be very miserable when you wake up, with all kinds of pain.
If you think about it carefully, this seems normal. Although the rules in the rule book can be easily copied as long as you have magic stones, there is no way to do it with dice. So those who can play it play Tongxiao, and those who can't play it, of course, find a way to do it.
Props for games.
There are no gambling tools such as dice in Midi. Just pick up three or more tureens and guess which one has something in it, and you can bet that someone will lose their fortune. Of course, the most common thing is to guess the heads and tails of coins.
If it were the most basic hexahedral dice, it might be easier to make, but a twenty-sided dice? Even I had to hit the wall a few times, and finally I just used magic materials to make a qualified dice. Others just used carved dice.
Can it be done?
Maybe the rule book is given away for free, and just selling dice is a good business? Open the mold and cast it directly with metal. There is no need to use magic materials, and then use the thickness of the paint to adjust the center of gravity. It should be easier to make.
But as soon as this idea came up, someone gave it up. Just kidding, the money earned by the forum is already enough to bite your hand. If you add some other sources of income, it doesn't mean that you have another golden 'fat sheep' hanging on your head.
Character.
Moreover, this kind of TRPG gameplay is popular depending on the performance of the elves, but it is difficult to say to people of other races. In addition, this is not magic knowledge, and it cannot be sold through the channels of the Magician Association, and of course it will not
It is protected by the association. Therefore, after the gameplay is exposed and the rule book is online, it is probably difficult to make dice. In addition, if you want to pirate it, it will not be difficult.
But no one has ever thought about making money from this kind of thing. Because simple rules have never been the point. What is really valuable is the story world that countless creators have built together. Sometimes the story is attractive, and people in turn establish rules for it.
It becomes a world that can be played. The commercial benefits of this expansion are much greater than a simple rule book.
Of course, you can also choose to establish your authority in this field, suppress all possible signs, and monopolize this entertainment market... As a magician who wants to find a way home, doing those things seems a bit unprofessional. Moreover,
That's not a simple job that can be done casually.
Picking up the twenty-sided dice placed on the silver plate, Lin held up the dice and looked shiny in the early morning sun. Hmm? It feels weird, something seems different? Picked up the dice and put it on the silver plate
After tossing it a few times, there was no abnormal bounce or only a few numbers coming out. It seemed that I was just being overly concerned.
Elsewhere, Mount Tharsis is a neutral sanctuary located between the Lost Lands, the Abyss and the Kingdom of the Gods. It was once the forefront of the war between the Lost Gods and the Outer Gods, and was also the place where the ancient gods and the
The beginning of the gods, the main battlefield for the change of generations.
The result of the struggle of countless powerful forces here is that the space here has become pitted and extremely unstable. Even the gods find it very difficult to maintain their existence here, let alone fight.
Such a dangerous place has a new function nowadays, it is a place for peaceful meetings between the leaders of the various camps.
Because the god who died here will not revive in his own kingdom; on the contrary, the god's kingdom will directly collapse after severing contact with the original owner, leaving the god dead and unable to die again. Even if he is said to be immortal
Some of the immortal Abyss Evil Gods have never appeared again since they came here to cause trouble, so everyone is cautious when they come here.
Of course, other gods or evil gods are not willing to appear in this dangerous neutral place. It is quite rare that a large number of gods have gathered today because since last night, there have been earthquakes in the kingdom of the gods and the abyss.
Continuously. Although no damage was caused, this abnormality still attracted the attention of these beings.
Today, Logotheni, the goddess of fate, summoned the gods to Mount Tharsis. He is one of the few gods whose call will be responded to. In addition to his always maintaining a neutral stance, the concept he represents is also difficult for the gods.
His 'destiny', no one wants to go against Him.
When a golden chariot pulled by two eight-legged horses rushed into this neutral sanctuary, all the gods and evil gods who had arrived were trembling. Wearing dazzling golden battle armor, they guarded the place.
The god Apollos carried the power of wind and thunder into this unstable space. He used his tyrannical power to stabilize the space he passed through, making it seem that the road was smooth all the way.
The first thing Apollos saw was the mischievous Lavoquito, the God of Destiny who had been severely beaten by him a while ago. He frightened this usually careless friend and hid behind his elder sister.
The gods gathered into groups according to their respective camps and friendships, and they were clearly distinguishable from each other. Apollos drove a horse and chariot alone and came to the god who was half withered and half cold. He made a deafening voice and asked: "
Why do you look like you are about to die? Were you responsible for what happened yesterday? Are you here to deal with the funeral arrangements now?"
Logoxani did not answer the wasted face of this big boss who could make a bunch of gods and demons angry to death just by talking. The goddess of fate just spread out her withered palm, and in the palm was a twenty-sided dice.
.And this is the one carefully made by someone, and was secretly exchanged by the goddess with a fake one she made herself.
As soon as the dice came out, there was another tremor. This already shaky space seemed to be about to collapse at any time.
Unlike the ancient gods who personified all things in nature, the new gods who have gone through the dark ages and grown up are gods who uphold various beliefs and concepts.
Then when these concepts are shaken, it will affect their existence; when the beliefs do not exist, they will also disappear. As the history of civilization advances, concepts will change and beliefs will shift. These are all
It's a normal phenomenon, but these things will have symptoms. When you find the symptoms, there are usually two options.
"Do you want our help to eradicate the root cause of this shaky concept?"
This is what most gods and the so-called 'conservative' do. They kill all changes and stubbornly follow the old path. But Logoxanni shook her head. She turned her palms and rolled the dice. The dice fell to the ground and bounced a few times.
But it's like a giant drum or a bell hitting the chests of the gods. Everyone knows that this person's power has reached a higher level.
Another option: As the times change, absorb and expand your own concepts. Even if you are not careful, it will lead to the disintegration of the godhead, but those who can survive will usually be stronger.
However, Klein, the mysterious master hiding in the fog, disagrees with the choice of fate. It is true that the power of abandoning the mystery is more powerful, but there are traces to follow. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad.
