House rules

#1 Post by Nordbo »

House rules:
  • Gaming system: 1E AD&D (PHB, DMG, MM, FF)
  • XP is not based on treasure but on The Asbury System (WD #5,6,7,8) for combat rolls, skill rolls, thrown spells etc. XP can be earned jointly by group, or for individual actions, solving stuff, inventive/fun playing etc.
  • I log adventure time, to track rest, rations and wandering monsters etc
  • Death rules: 0 hp = unconscious, -1 and less = bleeding out 1hp/round, -10 = dead.
Communication:
  • Head all 'action' posts with PC name in bold
  • PC actions in default black text. PC speech in blue. OOC statements and open questions to DM in red.
  • One player is welcome to be the 'caller'. Not compulsory, but helps focus and saves time.
  • In this game, the DM doesn't draw the map, the PCs do. If the group wants to keep track of location, please draw and upload a current map image, regularly, either directly in the current game thread or in the 'Maps' thread. Otherwise there may be random loss of direction. Any format will do: a scanned scribble on graph paper, tile jpgs laid out in an image editing programme. Or snazzy output from some dungeon software tool. Even an Excel screen shot could work.
Posting frequency:
  • Not more than once a day, not less than twice a week
  • In this world, there is a dreaded disease called Ansgar's Autopathy that may affect anyone alive. Symptoms vary, from coma or loss of speech to random behaviour or alignment change. The trick not to catch it, is to constantly be on the go. Mothers in Al'atha regularly warn their children: "If you stop, you drop!" So, players who've been AFK for a very long time without explanation may discover upon returning that their PCs have been acting oddly in their absence ;)
