Brainstorming for the November '14 RPG

This is very rough brainstorming for the RPG I'm working on this month.

  • The game is based on B/X D&D, but will deviate from it a great deal
  • Shouldn't be designed for a specific milieu, but I'm aiming for something that works well for post-apocalyptic fantast (like Adventure Time without so much whimsy)
  • The game should accomodate just-in-time planning and GMing, because I never have any damn time to prepare
  • Instead of having both INT and WIS, there is just INT
  • There is no CHA; social interactions (intimidation, persuasion, bartering, etc.) are purely learned abilities
  • Maybe there is an attribute for "pleasing appearance"; not decided on this
  • Attribute bonuses are much smaller than is typical in D&D. Characters will start with a single +1 attribute, and maybe take a second +1 in exchange for a -1. Alternatively, the player may roll, but must accept the outcome.
  • There are no classes or levels; instead, characters start with a background (e.g. Soldier or Wizard's Apprentice) that gives them

Role-playing is a game of five repeated parts.

Role-Playing: A Game of Five Repeated Parts

  1. The game begins (or is continued) with the game-master narrating what the players' characters see, hear, smell, and feel happening in the fictional world around them. This will often include conflict, and should always provide opportunities for adventure.
  2. The players then speak as their characters, both to one another and to the fictional world's inhabitants, who are given a voice by the game-master.
  3. Discussion eventually leads to action. The players describe how their characters act, and what they do.
  4. Dice are thrown to determine the outcome of actions that don't have an obvious or requisite result according the fictional situation.
  5. The game-master and the players work together to develop the outcome, using consequences and complications that make the story more interesting and add to the adventure. The game continues with a return to Part 1, as the game-master narrates this outcome, until the story and the adventure end.

The Old Monster Shop

The Old Monster Shop is a pre-Time of Troubles Forgotten Realms campaign using Dungeon World instead of AD&D 2nd Edition.

Campaign Introduction

You are each one of the many Children of Helm, orphans raised at Helm's Hold southeast of Neverwinter. The monastery is all you've known, but you're now the age where you must enter the world and live by your own means. But before your life is truly your own, you must make a final oblation to Helm, in service to the Hold. You will travel to the City of Splendors, Waterdeep, and gain the trust of an evil monster-peddler there named Feldyn. What you will do with his trust, and when, is a secret that Watcher Dumal Erard has not yet shared.

But Dumal is like a father to you, a parent in lieu of those you lost, and you trust him completely. His instructions, and his plan for gaining Feldyn's trust, are simple, but will be hazardous. Because Feldyn only retains people he knows and trusts, you will start by selling him young monsters and monst
