The Gambler's Den (OOC Game Related & Rules)
Please use this thread to post game related OOC content.
Rules
Summary of Basic Moves
Survive (+Backbone)
Give Aid (+Backbone)
Investigate (+Smooth)
Attack (+Brawn)
Shield (+Brawn)
Manipulate, Trick, Bribe (+Trick)
Assess (+Smooth)
Conjure (+Creep)
Success
Roll on 2d6
10+ You do exactly what you intended.
7-9 You do it, but something goes awry
6 or less - that didn’t go well, the guide will dictate your fate
Rolling and Water
You can elect before rolling that you are going to take a drink of water. Your next roll will automatically be a roll of a 12 and you reduce the water in your canteen by 1.
In the Casketlands settlement water spent in this way can’t be refilled before setting out.
Definitions
Trinkets:
These are objects - not in the zine - that I am requesting you create for your characters. They should have some meaning to the character, enough to justify why they carry it around. It will provide everyone a little additional insight into their personality, beliefs, or relationships. Maybe a character received it as a gift and thinks it brings luck; or was a token of affection from another character; or was stolen and thinks it brings them strength; or is an icon of something they have faith in.
Outsiders:
Outsiders will be defined as characters outside the population of the Casketlands that can be communicated with verbally or non-verbally.
Vials
12 small 1oz vials stoppered with cork and sealed with yellow wax. They appear to be in pairs so that there are six distinct types:
Vial 1 clear liquid but bubbles when tapped,
Vial 2 clear liquid but bubbles when tapped,
Vial 3 transparent and amber colored liquid,
Vial 4 transparent and amber colored liquid,
Vial 5 cloudy gray liquid,
Vial 6 cloudy gray liquid,
Vial 7 black and viscous liquid,
Vial 8 black and viscous liquid,
Vial 9 opaque white with flecks of gold leaf in suspension,
Vial 10 opaque white with flecks of gold leaf in suspension,
Vial 11 cloudy yellow-green liquid.
Vial 12 cloudy yellow-green liquid.

I have had some delays getting into our destination, belongings delivered, etc... but should be set up soon and am excited to kick things off.
If you want to populate the Casketlands with more characters please feel free to propose some ideas. I will try to get a summary of some of the relationships that have already been thought of posted soon.
Please also take a moment and let me know what would make this game enjoyable for you.

I'm excited! I look forward to seeing how you work out the relationships of all the characters and npcs.
Should be fun trying to build a civilization in the middle of nowhere when the odds are against you. Either way, this promises to be an interesting game.

I don't have extra characters to add now; I would like to see them unfold in play.

Re: The Gambler's Den (OOC Game Related)
Neither do I have any characters.
The thing that excites me most about Casketlands is the human drama mixed with weirdness. I want to see what the world is like after most of its hope and joy has rotted away.

Sorry about the delay; this week was a bit crazy. Stoked to get back into the swing of things. Also, let me tell you, that map is really quite something.

Re: The Gambler's Den (OOC Game Related)
No pressure to post on a schedule, we never really talked about the pace the group wants to keep. I just wanted to give a friendly reminder!
It was a busy week for me as well. This coming week might also be a bit hectic.
That said, I will do what I can to keep momentum up if the group is really actively posting.
Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Re: The Gambler's Den (OOC Game Related)
okay, just posting on all forums to let everyone know that there are a few things going on that will slow my posting rate a lot in the coming week(s).
1. New job! Finally dont have the 3 hour commute from Fort Smith to Little Rock!
2. Starting Monday and it is a 100% new job that I have to figure out moving from being an English teacher to Special Ed.
3. School starts next Monday, so the craziness will continue! I am sure things will calm down a bit, but I may be hard for me to get on here more than a few times. We'll see!
Thank you all in advance!

Re: The Gambler's Den (OOC Game Related)
What would you like to do with Wyatte Cockrin as you prepare and adjust to your new responsibilities?
I would be happy to co-author the character to keep the story moving forward or slow the threads down until you are available.

Wyatte genuinely wants to help Jeremiah. He knows Lenny's heart is always in the right place, but needs watching, but Gworge will keep the big guy on task, so he will keep a sharper eye on him.
He also realizes this is his first real job since becoming sheriff, so he knows he can't screw this up.
