highly-regarded recent cosmic horror novels. I asked online and somebody recommended T. E. D. Klein’s novel The Ceremonies. I finally started reading it a few months ago, somewhat distracted by other books and priorities, but made my way through it slowly and finally finished in a few days ago.</p> <p>One way of looking at The Ceremonies is as a 500-page callout to others in the know. The primary viewpoint character is a young, unaccomplished assistant professor of gothic literature, Jeremy Freire. Jeremy regularly discusses the various horror novels that he is reading to prepare a syllabus for a class he is planning to teach. This device allows Klein to drop literal references to the existing corpus of cosmic horror and its genre predecessors. Some key works within this literature even serve as diegetic plot elements, such as a short story by Arthur Machen. Because of this, The Ceremonies itself works as a syllabus of cosmic horror or strange tales.</p> <p>Readers who enjoy this tradition of cosmic horror will recognize many formulaic elements. That may sound like a criticism, but the formulas are used skillfully and the writing act itself (on Klein’s part) almost seems ritualistic to me. Even the mostly-wooden characters are in keeping with Lovecraft. While I never really sympathized with any of them, they worked as archetypes with just enough individuation to keep my interest. Daniel Day Lewis would make a good Sarr, a farmer who is one of the main supporting characters.</p> <p>The plot is slow and meandering. It is skillfully crafted enough that the events generally did not feel contrived to me in the moment, but when viewed from a high level the story does rely on several somewhat unsatisfying coincidences. The plot exists primarily to support a mood, however, and the mood is effective. At its best, The Ceremonies has some of the best horror writing I have come across, especially the way that Klein is not afraid to use classic elements where they serve his purposes, which I appreciate.</p> <p>The parts of the story I enjoyed most were the evocations of mysticism and the carefully detailed monstrous elements. Klein never falls into the trap of Lovecraft-inspired cliches, there are no tentacles to be seen, and his horrors never seem taxonomic. Due to the almost inbred nature of the allusions and references, readers who are not members of the Lovecraft fanclub subculture may find the length trying. That said, my overall reaction is favorable.</p> <p>The Ceremonies is Klein’s only novel, though he also has a collection of novellas (Dark Gods) that I am now interested in reading at some point. Supposedly, he has been working on another novel called Nighttown for 30 years and it <a href="http://www.teemingbrain.com/2016/05/26/t-e-d-kleins-second-novel-nighttown-to-become-a-reality-after-all/">may actually be published soon</a>.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/reviews/" rel="category tag">Reviews</a> and tagged <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/cosmic-horror/" rel="tag">cosmic horror</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/literature/" rel="tag">literature</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/28/review-of-kleins-the-ceremonies-spoiler-free/" title="11:48 am" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2016-12-28T11:48:23-05:00">2016-12-28</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-5252" class="post-5252 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-reviews category-spotlight tag-kingdom-death tag-miniatures"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/20/kingdom-death/" rel="bookmark">Kingdom Death</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/20/kingdom-death/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div id="attachment_5275" style="width: 1210px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-11-08.39.49-kingdom-death-banner.jpg"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5275" class="wp-image-5275 size-full" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-11-08.39.49-kingdom-death-banner.jpg" alt="2016-12-11-08-39-49-kingdom-death-banner" width="1200" height="200" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-11-08.39.49-kingdom-death-banner.jpg 1200w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-11-08.39.49-kingdom-death-banner-300x50.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-11-08.39.49-kingdom-death-banner-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-11-08.39.49-kingdom-death-banner-768x128.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-11-08.39.49-kingdom-death-banner-624x104.jpg 624w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5275" class="wp-caption-text">5 of 7 core monsters with 4 prologue survivors</p></div> <p>Though I heard about the first Kingdom Death Kickstarter when it launched in 2012 and adored the aesthetic, A) I do not really play board games and B) I had no experience assembling miniatures. So, I passed. However, after seeing some of the models in the wild, I took advantage of the Black Friday 2015 opportunity and bought a copy of the core game along with the Sunstalker and Flower Knight expansions. The game arrived early January 2016 and then it sat on my shelf unassembled for almost a year. The <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poots/kingdom-death-monster-15">1.5 reprint/update Kickstarter</a> prompted me to actually attempt assembly. It took me a few weeks to assemble the four prologue survivors and all the core monsters.</p> <h2>Overview</h2> <p>It is surprisingly hard to find a concise description of the game. Here is my attempt. It is a cooperative campaign board game where four survivors wake up barely clothed in an unlit land. The ground is all stone faces. The survivors hunt monsters for resources and found a settlement near a pile of creepy lanterns. Players grow the settlement, building structures, developing innovations, and reproducing. They stave off inevitable entropy for as long as possible.</p> <div id="attachment_5293" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/kingdom-death-dung-beetle-dancer-male-pinup-copy.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5293" class="size-medium wp-image-5293" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/kingdom-death-dung-beetle-dancer-male-pinup-copy-300x300.jpg" alt="Male dung beetle dancer pinup concept art" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/kingdom-death-dung-beetle-dancer-male-pinup-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/kingdom-death-dung-beetle-dancer-male-pinup-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/kingdom-death-dung-beetle-dancer-male-pinup-copy.jpg 615w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5293" class="wp-caption-text">Male dung beetle dancer pinup concept art</p></div> <p>You have to assemble complex components yourself without any official instructions (though the <a href="http://vibrantlantern.com/">community stepped up enthusiastically</a> to fill this void). The art is beautiful, but the aesthetic includes sexual objectification, gore, and puerile humor that mixes the two. You will need to have friends that are okay with this if you want to play the game with other people. Your survivors start weak and fragile, similar to zero level characters in trad D&D terms. Rule zero of the game is when in doubt, rule against the survivors. Pinups like the one to the right are promotional items, not part of the game. (I am not interested in discussing opinions on the representation of sexuality or objectification in this game.)</p> <h2>Gameplay</h2> <p>Gameplay alternates between tactical combat and settlement building. More specifically, after the first story prologue fight that introduces basic concepts, the cycle is settlement, hunt, and showdown. This cycle constitutes one lantern year (the time it takes one of the creepy settlement lanterns to burn out). A full campaign in the core game is 20 lantern years. I think a reasonable real-world session would be one or two lantern years generally, but I do not yet have extensive experience. During my first play (we were four players), we did the prologue and lantern year one. This took about four hours but included taking cards out of shrink and looking up lots of rules. I think it would be significantly faster the second time. Note that you also have to assemble some miniatures first, though you can get by with only the <a href="http://vibrantlantern.com/build/whitelion/">white lion</a> and <a href="http://vibrantlantern.com/build/prologue/">four survivors</a> to begin with (see remarks on assembly below).</p> <div id="attachment_5259" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.48.07-kingdom-death-prologue.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5259" class="wp-image-5259 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.48.07-kingdom-death-prologue-300x300.jpg" alt="2016-12-18-15-48-07-kingdom-death-prologue" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.48.07-kingdom-death-prologue-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.48.07-kingdom-death-prologue-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.48.07-kingdom-death-prologue-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.48.07-kingdom-death-prologue-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.48.07-kingdom-death-prologue.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5259" class="wp-caption-text">Hitting from behind!</p></div> <p><strong>Showdown Phase</strong>. The showdown phase (where you fight monsters) is straightforward two-dimensional tactical combat. Move some spaces, take an action. The showdown board is small enough that it seems like few turns would be movement-only (I consider this a good thing). Players rotate controlling the monster though the monster controller needs to make few decisions as the monster actions are mostly dictated by an AI deck.</p> <p>In addition to the AI deck, each monster has a hit location deck which controls various monster reactions. After survivors hit, they must confirm damage as well (accuracy adds to hit, strength adds to confirming hits). I was worried at first that this might result in many turns where engaging multiple resolution systems would lead to no overall effect, but in practice that did not seem to be a problem. A monster-specific resource deck controls the resources that the monster could potentially yield. Actual drops are determined mostly randomly, though some hit locations give access to specific resources. If the survivors defeat the monster, they scavenge resources which can be used to build things during the settlement phase. Some monster fights use terrain pieces to increase the arena complexity. Overall, the tactical combat is simpler than 4E D&D, one of my few points of comparison (I consider this a good thing).</p> <div id="attachment_5260" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.34.03-kingdom-death-monster-ai.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5260" class="wp-image-5260 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.34.03-kingdom-death-monster-ai-300x300.jpg" alt="2016-12-18-15-34-03-kingdom-death-monster-ai" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.34.03-kingdom-death-monster-ai-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.34.03-kingdom-death-monster-ai-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.34.03-kingdom-death-monster-ai-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.34.03-kingdom-death-monster-ai-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-15.34.03-kingdom-death-monster-ai.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5260" class="wp-caption-text">White Lion monster AI card</p></div> <p><strong>Monster AI</strong>. The AI deck also doubles as the monster health score which means that the monster actions become less variable and potentially more predicable as survivors wear it down. The AI deck system also means that the same monster can be reconfigured in many ways with differing difficulty. For example, we fought the white lion twice, during the prologue and the first hunt. The AI deck construction was different between those two and the construction incorporated randomness. The lion we hunted (level one) had 7 basic and 3 advanced AI cards, randomly selected (this also meant that it had 10 health, though note that you need one final hit to take a monster down after that total is depleted). For me, the AI deck is probably the most compelling game design I have seen so far in Kingdom Death. It is approachable from a player standpoint but seems to generate a lot of emergent complexity. There are many lessons here for D&D monster design, probably best realizable through sets of tables.</p> <div id="attachment_5271" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.06.55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5271" class="wp-image-5271 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.06.55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase-300x300.jpg" alt="2016-12-18-17-06-55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.06.55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.06.55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.06.55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.06.55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.06.55-kingdom-death-hunt-phase.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5271" class="wp-caption-text">Hunt board</p></div> <p><strong>Hunt Phase</strong>. Between settlement phases survivors can go on a hunt, though this is not the only way to encounter monsters (encounters can be caused by settlement events also). The hunt, which hopefully culminates in a showdown (briefly described above) plays out on a one-dimensional track where events occur on the way to the monster. In our first hunt, one of our survivors was terrified to death by the screeching and yowling of a lion in heat so we went into the lantern year one fight with only three combatants. This could mean that one player might be out for the showdown. The game is collaborative enough that it might still be fun, but I am not sure (we did the prologue fight with four players but were down to three anyways for the first hunt and showdown). Our first lion hunt ended in a TPK. Since there are still some other survivors left in our settlement, the TPK is not game over.</p> <div id="attachment_5270" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-16.52.36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5270" class="wp-image-5270 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-16.52.36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase-300x300.jpg" alt="2016-12-18-16-52-36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-16.52.36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-16.52.36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-16.52.36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-16.52.36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-16.52.36-kingdom-death-settlement-phase.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5270" class="wp-caption-text">Settlement board</p></div> <p><strong>Settlement phase</strong>. In some ways the payoff to playing Kingdom Death is the settlement phase. It is sort of like a fun, collaborative, non-homework version of building a character in games that require complicated character builds. However, unlike complex character building, success in the settlement phase depends not on voluminous knowledge of the rules text and combos, but rather on success during previous showdown phases and a few choices about what to prioritize. Also, as discussed below, I think that the settlement is the primary fictional element of play in Kingdom Death, not the survivor. As you can see in the image to the right, the settlement phase also has its own board, which similar to the hunt board is a one-dimensional track that walks players through the procedure.</p> <h2>Prepare to Die</h2> <div id="attachment_5286" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-18.11.54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5286" class="wp-image-5286 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-18.11.54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk-300x300.jpg" alt="2016-12-18-18-11-54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-18.11.54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-18.11.54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-18.11.54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-18.11.54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-18.11.54-kingdom-death-lantern-year-1-tpk.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5286" class="wp-caption-text">Defeated by ground fighting (TPK)</p></div> <p>The survivor is not the primary element of play in Kingdom Death. The settlement is. When you lose a survivor, that is a setback but the settlement’s remaining population acts as a buffer (and the slain survivor’s gear is not lost but automatically returned to the settlement). As I understand it, settlement wipes are certainly possible (though I do not know how common). If you would be frustrated by such a loss after, say, 20+ hours of in-person play rather than experiencing it as the dark closing chapter of a story to remember, this might not be the game for you.</p> <p>One strain of traditional D&D play is similar to this approach, where the setting and adventuring party are the first-order units of play and the adventurer is, while not disposable exactly, at least not central. I have run games like this before and participated in them and I think that this approach offers a unique potential for engaging play. In such a game, impartially resolved catastrophic failure is possible but not fatal to the campaign, increasing the potential stakes of decisions. Kingdom Death is a far more focused game than D&D but it provides examples that could be adapted to a D&D game centered around developing a party or settlement. In fact, I do not think it would be that hard to run an OD&D game using many Kingdom Death mechanics directly, perhaps replacing magic items and treasure with resource drops and settlement crafting and adapting monster decks to D&D monsters.</p> <h2>Metaphysically Ambiguous Dark Fantasy</h2> <p>Beyond gameplay though, the aspect of Kingdom Death that originally drew my attention, and sustains my interest, is the aesthetic and setting which reminds me of two of my other favorite fantasy franchises, Berserk and Dark Souls. This is not that surprising, as I understand that Berserk is an explicit influence on the designers of Kingdom Death. These three, Berserk, Dark Souls, and Kingdom Death, make up what is for me a dark fantasy trinity. All three have complex, well-designed, internally consistent worlds with ultimately ambiguous canons. There is enough detail to keep my interest but not so much that the audience ever really knows exactly what is going on.</p> <p>The world of Kingdom Death is an endless plain of stone faces lit occasionally only by lanterns. Why? Where did the survivors come from? Who knows? Despite the detailed and baroque monster design, all three of these franchises also have an ultimately restrained sensibility that rests more on mythical resonance than raw newness. None of the three franchises are shy about recruiting cliches, but the cliches are never used thoughtlessly and often adjusted (though never entirely subverted, which I also appreciate).</p> <div id="attachment_5282" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Card-Shot-Black-Knight_crop.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5282" class="wp-image-5282 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Card-Shot-Black-Knight_crop-300x300.jpg" alt="card-shot-black-knight_crop" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Card-Shot-Black-Knight_crop-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Card-Shot-Black-Knight_crop-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Card-Shot-Black-Knight_crop.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5282" class="wp-caption-text">Image from <a href="https://shop.kingdomdeath.com/products/black-knight">Kingdom Death shop</a></p></div> <p>For example, the background text for the Black Knight, previously a collectible model but being developed into a game expansion in the current Kickstarter:</p> <blockquote><p>They say if you take a lantern that never lit down the trail of corpses and past the whispering stars you will find an ancient figure atop a crest of determined faces.

As noted above, the mini parts come attached to sprues as cast in the factory and must be clipped out. There are no official instructions, but I found the guidance on <a href="http://vibrantlantern.com/">Vibrant Lantern</a> satisfactory except for the phoenix and the watcher. I used <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1443242/phoenix-assembly">this one</a> for the phoenix and <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/article/21214935">this one</a> for the watcher (both linked to from Vibrant Lantern). For general advice, I found <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1439051/miniature-assembly-not-hugely-intimidating/">this conversation</a> useful. Several issues tripped me up that might be obvious to experienced model builders. Below I address some of these issues. Hopefully that will be useful to other gamers with similar levels of experience.</p> <p><strong>Tools</strong>. You need to buy at least two things to assemble the minis: sprue clippers (I got <a href="https://www.games-workshop.com/Citadel-Fine-Detail-Cutters">Citadel Fine Detail Cutters</a>, $35) and plastic glue (I used <a href="http://www.supergluecorp.com/?q=zap/zap-glues/plasti-zap">Plasti-Zap</a>, $4). A model file would be helpful to clean up join points but I did without. Another useful tool that I did get was a clamp (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00002244S/">Irwin One-Handed 6″ Bar Clamp</a>, $12).</p> <div id="attachment_5262" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-12-18.39.49-kingdom-death.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5262" class="wp-image-5262 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-12-18.39.49-kingdom-death-300x300.jpg" alt="2016-12-12-18-39-49-kingdom-death" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-12-18.39.49-kingdom-death-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-12-18.39.49-kingdom-death-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-12-18.39.49-kingdom-death-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-12-18.39.49-kingdom-death-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-12-18.39.49-kingdom-death.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5262" class="wp-caption-text">That’s right, those are all individual hands</p></div> <p><strong>Glueing</strong>. The plastic glue begins to set quickly as long as you do not jostle the pieces, so the technique I found most useful is to find a way for gravity to hold the parts together so that you can go do something else (the clamp can help with this). To be safe, I generally attach a few parts and then let them fully dry overnight before adding anything else. You can have multiple models in progress, but do not clip parts before you are ready to attach them because it would be easy to mixup or lose parts. Assembly was time consuming in a <em>hurry up and wait</em> manner but not exactly difficult. I found the absurd complexity of the process somehow motivating. I used up a full ⅓ oz bottle of Plasti-Zap to assemble four survivors and all seven of the core monsters, so I would recommend buying more than one bottle of glue.</p> <div id="attachment_5265" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-09-21.06.24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5265" class="wp-image-5265 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-09-21.06.24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors-300x300.jpg" alt="2016-12-09-21-06-24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-09-21.06.24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-09-21.06.24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-09-21.06.24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-09-21.06.24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-09-21.06.24-kingdom-death-prologue-survivors.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5265" class="wp-caption-text">The four prologue survivors</p></div> <p><strong>Basing</strong>. Each mini base is two parts: bottom and inset. The core game comes with a small number of special face inserts. This is just a cosmetic detail, but you will not have enough for all the minis. I used four of them on the prologue survivors. Hopefully, the 1.5 Kickstarter will include an add-on to get more face inserts. See discussion of stone face bases <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1545781/when-do-i-use-bases-faces">here</a> and <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomDeath/comments/3so2ie/the_stone_face_bases/">here</a>. There is no special correct placement of minis on bases. Just glue them on however looks reasonable.</p> <p><strong>Gaps</strong>. While most of the parts fit together well, if you are anything like me you will still end up with some fit gaps in the assembled models. The phoenix was the biggest offender here (use more clamp, I guess). I have heard good things about <a href="https://www.tamiyausa.com/items/paints-finishes-60/tamiya-maintenance-material-62000/putty-87053">Tamiya Basic Type Putty</a> (which is itself gray) and so will likely look better than <a href="https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Green-Stuff">Green Stuff</a> before painting. I have not used either of those myself yet.</p> <h2>Expansions</h2> <p>I have not yet used any of the expansions in play, but as I understand it several of the expansions offer alternate campaigns (Dragon King, Sunstalker, and Flower Knight) while others offer monsters that can sub in for core game monsters. The Gorm can be hunted early on (otherwise the White Lion is the only monster that can be hunted during the first few lantern years). The Lantern Festival, which was intended to extend a campaign past 20 lantern years, was <a href="https://techraptor.net/content/kingdom-death-monster-lantern-festival-expansion-cancelled">cancelled</a> because the designer was not satisfied with how it worked. The Lantern King model is amazing though, so I hope it becomes available in some form. The upcoming Nightmare Ram (available through the new Kickstarter) is intended to offer some sort of dungeon crawl experience. See <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/KingdomDeath/comments/3ogmnn/basic_information_on_all_the_expansions/">here</a> for more. It looks to me like the game should play just fine with no expansions. The core game alone, if you dig the style, should provide lots of replay value.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <div id="attachment_5301" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.34.17-kingdom-death-showdown-josh.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5301" class="size-medium wp-image-5301" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.34.17-kingdom-death-showdown-josh-300x300.jpg" alt="My handsome pal Josh modeling the showdown board" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.34.17-kingdom-death-showdown-josh-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.34.17-kingdom-death-showdown-josh-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.34.17-kingdom-death-showdown-josh-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.34.17-kingdom-death-showdown-josh-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2016-12-18-17.34.17-kingdom-death-showdown-josh.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5301" class="wp-caption-text">My handsome pal Josh modeling the showdown board</p></div> <p>Play was smooth and none of the phases were that complicated. The hardest part of playing the first time is finding the various kinds of cards (there are a lot of different kinds of cards). A few of the mechanics seemed like they could be streamlined in minor ways. For example, weapon and monster accuracy is a target number (used to hit) while strength functions as a bonus that is compared to a toughness target number. Both kinds of stats can have bonuses and penalties. It is also easy to get a few of the stats mixed up (strength versus accuracy, movement versus speed, and so forth).</p> <p>I never felt like there was choice paralysis, even when we were making decisions about items to craft during the settlement phase. I can see how that might change as you build more settlement locations and have more kinds of resources to draw on but hopefully the complexity increases gradually. I am not yet sure which elements of the game are best served by cards and tokens as opposed to just writing things on record sheets, but so far I am enjoying the physicality of everything. At this point, I am kind of a super-fan of both the world and game mechanics, but I am not blind to the fact that there are a number of drawbacks which make Kingdom Death a big commitment and probably not for everyone.</p> <h2>Additional Resources</h2> <p>Chris Handley’s videos with Beasts of War are the only decent actual play videos I have found. They have so far released <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncW3pZFA_nM">lantern year one</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gF6v61pxAU">lantern year two</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4JM7fD_mPM">lantern year three</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRS8q2G1j7s">lantern year four</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg-08YlhnSQ">lantern year five</a> (I have not watched all of them yet). Chris’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/doc_ether/">Instagram</a> has many nice examples of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BKy83HVDr_I/">painted models</a> too and is worth checking out for inspiration (and check out his amazing hair!).</p> <h2>Disclaimers</h2> <p><em>First, I am far from a Kingdom Death expert. That said, I have assembled all the core game monsters and played it, so I can speak to some aspects of setup and play. Hopefully the fact that I am neither a diehard board gamer nor a miniature person might help me speak to other similarly casual gamers that nonetheless find the Kingdom Death vision compelling. Second, I am backing 1.5 for the upgrade pack and some expansions.</em></p> <p> </p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/reviews/" rel="category tag">Reviews</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/spotlight/" rel="category tag">Spotlight</a> and tagged <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/kingdom-death/" rel="tag">Kingdom Death</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/miniatures/" rel="tag">miniatures</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/20/kingdom-death/" title="5:18 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2016-12-20T17:18:00-05:00">2016-12-20</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-5232" class="post-5232 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-campaigns tag-monster tag-odd tag-pahvelorn tag-treasure"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/18/tangle-armor/" rel="bookmark">Tangle armor</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/18/tangle-armor/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div id="attachment_5227" style="width: 224px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Zedd2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5227" class="wp-image-5227 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Zedd2-214x300.jpg" alt="zedd2" width="214" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Zedd2-214x300.jpg 214w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Zedd2.jpg 368w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5227" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="http://powerrangers.wikia.com/wiki/Lord_Zedd">Image source</a> (processed)</p></div> <p>I was looking through my blog drafts folder, and came across several unfinished posts related to my <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/pahvelorn/">Pahvelorn</a> OD&D campaign (which has been on hold for several years now). This is one of those posts. If it feels somewhat out of left field, that is why. This is a fun item though, so I thought it still worth sharing.</p> <p>In that game, one faction is a group of borg-like demonic invaders. They look like a mixture between Lord Zedd, Giger’s alien, and matte black humanoid crabs. They are highly organized, militaristic, and woven into a psychic mesh which allows telepathic communication. They cannot speak human language but at some point during the game one of the adventurers managed to communicate telepathically with a drone that had been separated from the central consciousness. I described the experience as a series of tangled visual signs and from then on the players referred to the creatures as Tangles. A tangle drone’s exoskeleton can be worn as armor if properly extracted.</p> <p>There are two varieties of tangle armor, soft-shell and hard-shell.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Soft-shell</strong>: AC as medium armor, 5 [14].</li> <li><strong>Hard-shell</strong>: AC as heavy armor, 3 [16].</li> </ul> <p>(Note that in this game, no AC, even for monsters, is ever mechanically better than plate.)</p> <p><strong>Anti-Disintegration</strong>. Wearers of tangle armor are immune to disintegration.</p> <p><strong>Rejuvenation</strong>. Following combat, tangle armor will heal 1d6 points of damage. This only applies to damage just suffered. This causes a head rush in a human wearer.</p> <p><strong>Pincer-Claws</strong>. Tangle armor appendages count as armaments (standard 1d6 damage). They also have 18 strength in terms of grip (think alligator jaws: easy to hold closed, hard to pry open). These pincers surround hands but do not interfere with standard hand uses.</p> <p><strong>Creepy</strong>. Wearing tangle armor results in a functional charisma score of 3 when interacting with civilized others.</p> <p><strong>Receptive</strong>. Wearers suffer disadvantage (such as -4 penalty) when resisting psychic attacks.</p> <p><strong>Wearing</strong>. To put on a suit of tangle armor safely, cast the <em>bind exoskeleton</em> spell. Otherwise, get naked, slip inside, and save versus stone. If the saving throw fails, roll 1d6:</p> <ol> <li>Armor wearer is psychically attached to the tangle hive consciousness.</li> <li>Armor wearer becomes unable to perform aggressive acts toward creatures with 4 or 6 legs/arms.</li> <li>Armor wearer’s mouth and larynx are replaced with a mandible-like mechanism that prevents speech. Spells may still be used though interpretive dance. This result is permanent even if the armor is successfully removed later.</li> <li>Armor wearer secretes colony spores whenever resting. There is a 1 in 6 chance that the resting place will become a new hive shortly thereafter. This hive is autonomous from the mother hive on tangle world.</li> <li>Armor wearer becomes a beacon. There is a 1 in 6 chance that a gate will open to tangle world every time the armor wearer rests. The gate will be located in a secluded area within one mile of the rest point and will remain open for one week.</li> <li>The armor fully infiltrates the wearer’s body, rearranging parts, integrating with organs, and improving resilience. Armor wearer gains one HD permanently and no longer requires oxygen but will collapse into a pile of disaggregated flesh if the armor is ever removed, even with a “safe” spell method.</li> </ol> <p>(It may be enjoyable for the referee to keep this result secret assuming the effect would not be obvious to the wearer. But make a note somewhere to remember the per-rest checks!)</p> <p>If the saving throw succeeds, putting the armor on has no side effect other than being permanently integrated with an alien exoskeleton.</p> <p><strong>Removal</strong>. Tangle armor may be removed from a human safely only with <em>dispel evil</em> (this destroys the armor) or <em>remove curse</em> (after which the armor may be worn by another). The armor may be removed forcefully or in a nonconsensual manner (if the wearer is restrained). This causes the wearer 3d6 damage (save versus stone for half). Spell-based removal does not protect the wearer from bodily disaggregation based on result 6 above.</p> <p><strong>Extraction</strong>. Defeating a tangle drone in combat damages or destroys the armor. Functional tangle armor can only be extracted from captured, living drones. Extraction kills the drone unless the extractor takes extraordinary measures.</p> <hr /> <p>Tangles have stats as hobgoblins with supplementary abilities consistent with the armor description above. In any raiding party, at least one drone will be armed with disintegration weaponry. Mounts and vehicles are hover platforms that can be psychically controlled. Tangles may be remote-controlled using telepathy (drones get a save to avoid, connecting to the hive mind risks alien psychic mental control and insanity).</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/campaigns/" rel="category tag">Campaigns</a> and tagged <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/monster/" rel="tag">monster</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/odd/" rel="tag">OD&D</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/pahvelorn/" rel="tag">Pahvelorn</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/treasure/" rel="tag">treasure</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/18/tangle-armor/" title="11:41 am" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2016-12-18T11:41:32-05:00">2016-12-18</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-5186" class="post-5186 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-rules tag-dark-souls tag-hazard-system tag-stonehell tag-underworld"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/16/scavenge-dungeon-move/" rel="bookmark">Scavenge Dungeon Move</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/16/scavenge-dungeon-move/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div id="attachment_5193" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/titanite-shard-ds3_6.25.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5193" class="size-medium wp-image-5193" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/titanite-shard-ds3_6.25-300x300.jpg" alt="Image source" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/titanite-shard-ds3_6.25-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/titanite-shard-ds3_6.25-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/titanite-shard-ds3_6.25-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/titanite-shard-ds3_6.25-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/titanite-shard-ds3_6.25.jpg 1000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5193" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="http://cdn.cheatcc.com/guide_screens/dark_souls_3/ds3_6.25.jpg">Image source</a></p></div> <p>The playbooks inspired by Dark Souls that I am developing for my current Stonehell game do not include traditional attack bonuses derived from class and level. Ability bonuses do contribute to attack competence, and ability scores do improve with advancement, but the scope of bonuses is the stingy B/X +0 to +3. To fill the game role of the attack bonus, Adventurers may <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/11/27/stonehell-prepare-to-die-weapons/">enchant weapons</a>. I envision a mechanism similar to that of Dark Souls, where players gather item drops such as <a href="http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Titanite+Shard">titanite shards</a> from monsters and then pay smiths to improve weapons using those resources.</p> <h2>Scavenging and Moves</h2> <p>To gather Monster Parts as resources for later use, Adventurers can use the Scavenge Dungeon Move if there are monster remains available (such as following successful combat). In the Hazard System, Adventurers take Dungeon Turns to make Dungeon Moves. Some example defined moves are Climb, Explore, and Search. This is similar to the various traditional D&D X in 6 checks, though more formalized. In practice, players often need not declare Moves explicitly (though they can), but, for example, the referee will naturally interpret moving from one dungeon area to another as the Explore Move and call for a Hazard Die throw. Making Scavenge a Move means that players expend dungeon time in exchange for weapon improvement resources.</p> <h2>Monster Parts as Incentives</h2> <p>Such resources also provide an incentive to engage monsters, though not necessarily directly. Since one can scavenge the corpse of a trapped monster killed from afar just as easily as one slain in a fair fight, and with less risk, players are rewarded for clever stratagems. Hunting monsters for parts also requires taking care to not damage the goods in the process. Unlike in traditional D&D, in my games Adventurers do not get any XP for blasting an enemy to smithereens with a fireball. This incentivizes player creativity much like rewarding experience points for treasure spent, though the best strategies may differ. (I am also rewarding XP for treasure spent.)</p> <h2>Monster Parts and Improving Weapons</h2> <p>Monster Parts can lend additional properties to weapons, such as fire enchantment from fire monsters. Improvise Monster Parts properties using common sense. There is no need to preemptively design a complicated taxonomy. For example, assuming traditional monsters, Monster Parts Scavenged from giant centipedes might be Poison Monster Parts. To increase the difficulty of improving weapons, have only uncommon or rare monster corpses supply useful Monster Parts. I think allowing brutal weapons or creepy upgraded weapons to be built out of common orc or skeleton parts could be fun though. I generally prefer to make just about all possibilities open to low-level characters so I plan to follow the second route (making all monsters provide Monster Parts).</p> <p>For simplicity, do not differentiate between monsters with regard to quantity of Monster Parts available. One Adventurer Scavenges Monster Parts from one monster with one Dungeon Move and that exhausts the monster carcass. Specific or unique monsters may be exceptions to this rule. Six parts per Gear Slot seems like a reasonable default for encumbrance, though this is also something that can easily be adjusted by situational ruling. Maybe dragon Monster Parts take up a full slot per part.</p> <h2>Determining Degree of Scavenge Success</h2> <p>I am planning initially to make Scavenge success depend on a Wisdom Check. Make the check, gain 2 Monster Parts. Fail, gain 1 Monster Part. Critically succeed, gain 3 Monster Parts. Critically fail, spoil the remains. A critical success is the best result from the d20 or success by four or more.This follows my general approach for d20 partial success, based on the OD&D purple worm swallow mechanic. In shorthand, gain degree of success +1 Monster Parts.</p> <p>Alternatively, substitute some system other than a Wisdom Check to determine Scavenging effectiveness, or just grant a unit of Monster Parts for spending a turn and enduring the roll of the Hazard Die. A simple d6 roll would work, avoiding the influence of ability scores, as would an Apocalypse Engine 2d6 roll with success thresholds at 7+ and 10+. Time passing and resource attrition are the important trade-offs.</p> <p>Since enchanted weapons are <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/11/27/stonehell-prepare-to-die-weapons/">powered by the Adventurer’s soul</a>, improving weapons early in the game need not flood the fictional world with glowing +1 swords.</p> <p>How many Monster Parts are required to upgrade a weapon and how much does it cost? That seems like a topic for another post and will probably require some experimentation and adjustment during play testing. This post has gone long enough. To end, have a formal rule in the Hazard System style.</p> <hr /> <h2>Dungeon Move: Scavenge</h2> <p>To Scavenge the corpse of a defeated monster, make a Wisdom Check, scavenging Monster Parts equal to the degree of success + 1. Note any special Monster Parts properties, such as poison, slime, or fire.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/rules/" rel="category tag">Rules</a> and tagged <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/dark-souls/" rel="tag">Dark Souls</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/hazard-system/" rel="tag">Hazard System</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/stonehell/" rel="tag">Stonehell</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/underworld/" rel="tag">underworld</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/16/scavenge-dungeon-move/" title="11:00 am" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2016-12-16T11:00:56-05:00">2016-12-16</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-5169" class="post-5169 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-rules tag-combat tag-dark-souls tag-fighter"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/02/stonehell-prepare-to-die-blocking-and-dodging/" rel="bookmark">Stonehell: Prepare to Die blocking and dodging</a> </h1> <div class="comments-link"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2016/12/02/stonehell-prepare-to-die-blocking-and-dodging/#respond"><span class="leave-reply">Leave a reply</span></a> </div> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div id="attachment_5172" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.13.33-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-block.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5172" class="wp-image-5172 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.13.33-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-block-300x300.png" alt="Knight blocking (image source)" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.13.33-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-block-300x300.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.13.33-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-block-150x150.png 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.13.33-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-block-768x768.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.13.33-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-block-624x624.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.13.33-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-block.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5172" class="wp-caption-text">Knight blocking (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMFnRLCTCu8">image source</a>)</p></div> <p>Blocking and dodging are an iconic part of Dark Souls combat. While I do not want to model Dark Souls combat entirely, I do want to inject some of that feeling while maintaining the randomness necessary for engaging B/X combat and also not changing the core combat engine or making it significantly more complicated.</p> <p>The Shield Block and Dodge reactions replace the monster attack roll and so must be declared prior to throwing the monster attack roll dice. When a monster attacks, the referee should say to the adventurer player (paraphrasing): the monster is attacking you, do you want to block or dodge? and then proceed with the appropriate procedure.</p> <p>The approach outlined below in essence allows the player to use strength or dexterity as their defense stat, instead of armor class. This also eliminates the effect of the monster attack bonus, and so will often, especially for particularly fearsome monsters, be probabilistically advantageous. The downside is that blocking or dodging risks running out of stamina, represented by a constitution check. This trades chance of near future danger for immediate benefit.</p> <div id="attachment_5174" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.14.37-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-dodge.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5174" class="wp-image-5174 size-medium" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.14.37-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-dodge-300x300.png" alt="Knight dodging (image source)" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.14.37-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-dodge-300x300.png 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.14.37-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-dodge-150x150.png 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.14.37-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-dodge-768x768.png 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.14.37-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-dodge-624x624.png 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-02-at-3.14.37-PM-dark-souls-3-knight-dodge.png 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-5174" class="wp-caption-text">Knight dodging (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMFnRLCTCu8">image source</a>)</p></div> <p>Characters that are out of stamina are sluggish and do not fight as effectively.
