Once it's been rolled three times, there's a cave in. </p><p>It occurred to me that the <a href="https://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2019/04/watches-or-meatgrinder.html" target="_blank">Meatgrinder </a>in <a href="https://hismajestytheworm.games/" target="_blank"><i>His Majesty the Worm</i></a> already has some in-built short-term memory just by virtue of the random encounter being card based instead of dice based. In the normal flow of game, unless there's a combat (in which case a reshuffle is very likely), you won't get the same random encounter on the Meatgrinder in an evening because the card that triggered it is in the discard pile.</p><p>By default, <i>His Majesty the Worm</i> plays with the inherent short-term memory of cards only a little. This post imagines some subsystems that could exploit that feature more.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Creeping Dark</h2><p>Here's a variant rule proposed by the folks on the <a href="https://www.hismajestytheworm.games/#h.bgv4jgrt93d" target="_blank">Worm Discord server</a>: When a Meatgrinder (random encounter) event is ticked off, it is replaced with "Torches gutter." The longer you spend in the Underworld, the more the darkness closes in around you. Soon, you won't be able to take a step without your candles going out.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Ranger's Wisdom</h2><p>Riffing on Warren's idea of a single event having a clock, a ranger might have a class feature that adds a checkbox to monster encounters. The first time they encounter a monster, they don't - they discover its spore. Then, the party has a heads up that a monster of that type is lurking on this floor of the dungeon.</p><p>This class feature may be tied to their level. At level 1, they get one checkbox for one monster encounter. As they level up, more and more encounters have buffers. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Ranger's Wisdom, card redux</h2><p>Obviously the last idea wasn't thinking about cards, I just liked it. Here's one that thinks about card tech a bit more.</p><p>When the ranger uses the Range action, they can take a look at the top card (or top 3?) of the Meatgrinder. If they pull a random encounter card, they are shown a spore that tells them what the type of monster they will eventually encounter. </p><p>The ranger can spend a Resolve to put the card onto the bottom of the deck instead of the top. They take a careful path around the sphinx. They're not ready to fight it, yet.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Discard as a value</h2><p>Mechanics can be tied to the number of discarded cards in the major arcana discard pile: the more Meatgrinder events that have happened, the higher the number. It's a clock that counts up throughout the game.</p><p>For example, in a zombie horror movie game, whenever you make a loud noise, [discard] zombies show up. At the beginning of the evening, this will be one or two zombies. By the end of the evening, you could have significant hoards descending. </p><p>Because the GM shuffles their discard pile back into their deck when they run out of cards, the game has a natural swing between "easy" and "hard." Also, in such a game, you could have player abilities that oblige the GM to shuffle cards from the discard to the bottom of the deck, or trigger shuffles.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Discard as a clock</h2><p>You could have significant events happen at certain intervals based on how many cards you have discarded. Once 5 cards are discarded, the lights in the dungeon go out and players have to rely on torches. Once 15 cards are discarded, zombies encounters are upgraded to skeleton encounters. If the GM runs out of cards, the ritual is complete and Zog takes over the multiverse. </p><p>---</p><p>Anyway, I think the idea of encoding memory into game procedures with cards to be a rich vein to tap.  These are just a few ideas I had resting on the top of my brain. If this triggers some good ideas for you, why not blog about them?</p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Josh</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-memory-of-meatgrinder.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-memory-of-meatgrinder.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-25T06:48:00-07:00'>6:48 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/the-memory-of-meatgrinder.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 1 comment: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-136652495'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=4968669178712738474&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=4968669178712738474&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=4968669178712738474&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=4968669178712738474&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=4968669178712738474&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=4968669178712738474&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/search/label/His%20Majesty%20the%20Worm' rel='tag'>His Majesty the Worm</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Monday, March 24, 2025</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='2433981734782687691' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='6011370639460020163' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='6011370639460020163'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/worldbuilding-through-rebuking-cleric.html'>Worldbuilding through the Rebuking Cleric</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-6011370639460020163' itemprop='description articleBody'> <p>As Dan pointed out in <a href="https://throneofsalt.blogspot.com/2025/03/exorcists-and-wizard-hunters-alternate.html" target="_blank">his post</a>, the cleric's Turn Undead ability says something about the default setting of D&D: there are undead here. Indeed, for this to be a core class core ability, there has to be a lot of them. Barrows teaming with draugr. Unquiet ghosts lingering near their graves in cemeteries. Abandoned castles ruled by a vampire lord and his brides.</p><p>But if we want to have a special theme for our campaign setting, one way we can broadcast that is to change the cleric's Turn Undead ability to focus on our main antagonists. </p><p>Indeed, historically speaking, the sign of the cross was said to ward away almost anything evil, not just undead - devils and demons, werewolves, mermaids, storms, etc. A real swiss army knife. </p><p>So. What does our D&D look like with different Turn Undeads? </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Turn worms</h2><div>Saint Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland. He did this by turning worms and other crawling crawling things. </div><div><br /></div><div>At low levels, clerics can turn venomous snakes and serpents. At high levels, they can turn literal dragons. </div><div><br /></div><div>In such a setting, dragons plague the land. They kick dwarves out of their homes and sleep on their piles of gold. They crawl down into wells and poison the water. They bother the Smith of Wootton Major. Clerics go about, rebuking them in the name of Saint Patrick, and driving them continuously towards the wastes (as long as their luck holds).</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Turn trolls</h2><div>When Christianity came to the north of the world, the sign of the cross could drive away the trolls that haunted that land. (Of course, the trolls could smell a priest coming.)</div><div><br /></div><div>A campaign setting framed in Norse mythology might give clerics the ability to rebuke trolls. In such a setting, clerics are adherents of a foreign religion, driving out the folk ways as much as they drive away trolls. </div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Turn fairies</h2><div>The ringing of church bells is one surefire way to drive away fairies of all sorts - banshees, dapplegrim, red caps, bugbears, hobby lanthorns, etc. </div><div><br /></div><div>A cleric in a Celtic themed campaign might drive away fairies instead of undead. These clerics keep the peace between human and fairy settlements, and serve as exorcists for mischief of all kinds - animate furniture? Call the priest. Baby crawling up the wall? Nope, that's a changeling, call the priest. Richard the Miller's Son came back with a wife with a hollow back? NOPE, CALL THE PRIEST. </div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Stranger things</h2><div>You can imagine not just defining a campaign setting through a cleric's mechanics but inverting and subverting them. </div><div><br /></div><div>A cleric might Turn Humans in an evil campaign, where they worship the dread lord Sauron. Here, clerics are sorcerers, sending forth their Black Breath to inspire fear. </div><div><br /></div><div>A cleric might Turn Apes in a far future campaign. They invoke the light of the Claw of the Conciliator, that most precious of jewels. An ape "destroyed" by the ability might join the cleric instead, offering their service.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Josh</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/worldbuilding-through-rebuking-cleric.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/worldbuilding-through-rebuking-cleric.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-24T18:27:00-07:00'>6:27 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/worldbuilding-through-rebuking-cleric.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-136652495'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6011370639460020163&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6011370639460020163&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6011370639460020163&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6011370639460020163&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6011370639460020163&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6011370639460020163&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/search/label/osr' rel='tag'>osr</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Saturday, March 1, 2025</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='2433981734782687691' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='6917959244583738047' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='6917959244583738047'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/ten-staves-of-wizardly-might.html'>Ten Staves of Wizardly Might</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-6917959244583738047' itemprop='description articleBody'> <h2 style="text-align: left;">1. Weirwood Staff</h2><p>Made of white weirwood, carved with a mournful face. On nights of the new moon, you can ask the GM about a past event. On nights of the full moon, you can ask the GM about the present. The GM will describe a vision that attempts to answer your question.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">2. Staff of the White Hand</h2><p>A staff of white entwood, topped with a carven hand. The hand is fully articulate. While holding the staff, you control the hand as easily as you control your own. In a simple way, this is like an extendy shark grabber. But the hand can also be commanded to hold things (a wand! a torch! a sword!). When you attack with your staff, the hand curls into a fist. If you misuse the staff, it will extend its middle finger to you frequently (but still obey your commands). </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">3. The Walking Staff</h2><p>Beechwood staff fitted with a white gold foot at its end. The staff is ambulatory; you can call it to your hand. Given its experience traveling, you can ask its opinion about which way you should go and it will make a considered guess. In a dungeon, if given a choice of doors, it will point towards the one that leads in the quickest way to the exit. When hexcrawling, the staff increases the likelihood of finding a notable feature and reduces the chance of getting lost.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">4. Horned Staff</h2><p>Carved of an oak that has grown around the skull of an elk, with only the antlers now protruding. While carrying it, you can pass through overgrown areas (thorns, tangled undergrowth, briar patches, etc.) like a druid. You never leave a trail. While in the forest, you can cast <i>misty step </i>by spending 3 HP.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">5. Living Staff</h2><p>A branch of the ur-Apple Tree from the Garden of Eden. Each night, it can be planted in almost any soil (but not, like, carven rock) and sprout into a great apple tree. The apples provide enough to eat for a small host. The tree is easy to climb and provides almost perfect protection from the elements. Each morning, the apple tree begins to die, but a new living staff can be cut from one of its branches. Can only be carried by those bound to Law. If carried by anyone else, withers away.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">6. Nail Bat</h2><p>This staff is a heavy blackthorn shillelagh studded with iron nails. Acts as a +2 weapon against the fay. You are immune to charm while carrying it.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">7. Staff of the Key</h2><p>A wrought brass staff shaped like a large skeleton key. Runes cut into the teeth of the key contain the spells <i>knock</i>, <i>lock,</i> <i>gate, </i>and <i>magic mouth, </i>allowing you prepare those spells if you are a magic-user of appropriate level. The staff can be used to pick locks with a X-in-6 chance, where X is equal to your Intelligence bonus. Once per day, you can touch the staff to a door and receive a list of the true names of all who passed through the door since the last time the sun crossed the horizon.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">8. The Kite</h2><p>A cedar staff, topped with a crucifix on which a mummified leprechaun is crucified. When the staff or a spell you cast kills a creature, any damage beyond what is needed to reduce a creature to 0 HP is stored in the staff. 20 damage can be stored in this way. When making an attack with the staff, you may add an extra dice of damage. The size of the damage dice is determined by how much damage is stored in the staff. The dice size steps up for every "platonic interval": a d4 if 4 damage is stored, a d6 if 6 damage is stored, etc. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">9. Staff of the Cup</h2><p>A staff of yew, wrapped with tattered prayer flags and topped with a carven wooden chalice. Natural animals will not willingly attack you while you bear this staff. When filled with water from a clootie well or sacred spring, it is charged. A charge can be spent in the following ways:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Create a use of holy water in the cup</li><li>Heal 2d6 damage</li><li>Cause a natural spring to burst forth from the ground</li></ul><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">10. Arachne's Distaff </h2><p>A pine staff, topped with a carved spider. While carrying the staff, your clothes are always immaculately clean, never rip or tear, and appear to be of the finest quality. You can change the color of cloth you touch with the staff at will. You may cast the <i>web </i>spell by spending 2 HP. Whenever you would suffer the effects of the <i>web</i>, you are immune, but the staff is charged with one free casting.  </p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Josh</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/ten-staves-of-wizardly-might.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/ten-staves-of-wizardly-might.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-03-01T05:01:00-08:00'>5:01 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/03/ten-staves-of-wizardly-might.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 1 comment: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-136652495'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6917959244583738047&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6917959244583738047&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6917959244583738047&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6917959244583738047&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6917959244583738047&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=6917959244583738047&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/search/label/osr' rel='tag'>osr</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Thursday, February 20, 2025</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaCG-F9MGJrsSKeZvEwV5q5R-z4uvxdfdZHdvBSldP_nmpGivpL0S5Fksti69j3CWsWBI3TpfplNLYk_RXAcTQ1Bl5yfQFH9qqRZ2BK4iu_YQfTiBJZvUiL5XKEen0Fnz7eI8DRnuDxbFbElNVvlIvDF8-J_pjdj8QRUhdIjftqz_vHGVh3A3b_c6-DhW0/s320/gold-stripping.png' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='2433981734782687691' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='267906386025210820' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='267906386025210820'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-worms-economy.html'>The Worm's Economy</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-267906386025210820' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span color="oklab(0.89908 -0.00192907 -0.0048306)" face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;"><br /></span></span><span color="oklab(0.89908 -0.00192907 -0.0048306)" face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">"How much treasure should I be giving out in His Majesty the Worm?"

This parallels the lifecycles of stories like Conan or Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, who regularly win fabulous riches and begin most stories with empty pockets. A lot of mechanics are there to enforce this genre convention. </div><div style="color: oklab(0.89908 -0.00192907 -0.0048306); white-space-collapse: break-spaces;"><br /></div><div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">Creating a budget</span></span></h2><span><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">Imagine you are going to rate your adventurers from rank F to rank S. In rank F, players don't engage with anything in the dungeon, run from room to room, don't explore, never solve any puzzles, never press their luck. In rank S, they essentially clear the dungeon level, find every secret door, loot every chest, kick every monster's ass. Now, take your average party. For me, it's about 6 players. In a 30 room dungeon, the average party might go back to the City once, maybe twice. Because S rank should be rewarded with luxurious upkeep, that's a budget of 200 gold for S rank. For each time they visit the City, the players should have some small amount of extra gold for actions like Commission Craft, Research, and Training. For S rank players, maybe its 100g per City Phase. Don't forget taxes. Double your gold that you've earmarked because half of it is going away as soon as you step into the City. So 6 players x 2 (taxes) x (100 gold (upkeep) + 100 gold (extras)) x 2 (average City Phase visits per dungeon level) = a budget of 4,800 gold per dungeon level hidden in every nook and cranny. Assuming players, in general, don't find every cache, every secret, every hidden door, every monster hoard, it basically boils down to "just scraping by." This is back of the napkin math. <i>It is not exact</i>. </span></span></div><div><span><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaCG-F9MGJrsSKeZvEwV5q5R-z4uvxdfdZHdvBSldP_nmpGivpL0S5Fksti69j3CWsWBI3TpfplNLYk_RXAcTQ1Bl5yfQFH9qqRZ2BK4iu_YQfTiBJZvUiL5XKEen0Fnz7eI8DRnuDxbFbElNVvlIvDF8-J_pjdj8QRUhdIjftqz_vHGVh3A3b_c6-DhW0/s1600/gold-stripping.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1125" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaCG-F9MGJrsSKeZvEwV5q5R-z4uvxdfdZHdvBSldP_nmpGivpL0S5Fksti69j3CWsWBI3TpfplNLYk_RXAcTQ1Bl5yfQFH9qqRZ2BK4iu_YQfTiBJZvUiL5XKEen0Fnz7eI8DRnuDxbFbElNVvlIvDF8-J_pjdj8QRUhdIjftqz_vHGVh3A3b_c6-DhW0/s320/gold-stripping.png" width="225" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>The diminishing returns of dungoneering</i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span><span style="white-space-collapse: break-spaces;"><br /></span></span></div></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">Caveat 1:  Don't "solve" money problems</span></span></h3><p><span face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">One of the big risks for Worm games is messing too much with the essential assumptions of the game. Don't solve "fighting monsters" by giving players a magic sword that kills every monster. Don't solve "tracking food" by giving players a magic lunchbox that infinitely burps out rations. Don't solve "getting broke" by giving players too much treasure. Players who want to set up shop and game the VERY BASIC treasure economy should press pause on their Worm game and start playing a different game instead (I really encourage you to play lots of games!). It's kind of easy to break if you let it be easy to break. </span></span></p><p><span face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">If players want to buy a house in the City to try and avoid paying for Upkeep...well, don't let them. You bought a house? Sure, you're not sleeping in the inn anymore! Fine! But now you have a mortgage. Some of the City actions are essentially there to just buy doll houses and doll clothes for your dolls. They're not supposed to reflect anything close to a "real economy." </span></span></p><p><span face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">It is better for the experience that the game is trying to achieve to give players too little money than too much.</span></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">Caveat 2: Don't restock treasure (maybe)</span></h3><p></p><p><span face="gg sans, Noto Sans, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-family: arial; white-space-collapse: break-spaces;">Treasure is one of the things that should have diminishing returns as the dungeon restocks. As treasure is stripped away, players are incentivized to delve deeper and deeper to afford their adventuring lifestyle. Elsewise, players will often just linger in the uppermost reaches of the Underworld, and long-term megadungeon campaign play can grow stagnate.

In it, he reevaluated traditional Western ideas, claiming there is no synthesis in the dialectics of text and meaning. He called this philosophical approach "deconstructionism." </p><p>As J. Hillis Miller, the preeminent American deconstructionist, has explained in an essay entitled Stevens’ Rock and Criticism as Cure (1976), “Deconstruction is not a dismantling of the structure of a text, but a demonstration that it has already dismantled itself. Its apparently solid ground is no rock but thin air.” </p><p>Derrida went through some lengths to say that deconstructionism was hard to define (not a method! not an analysis! not an approach!), but let's keep it simple: </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Cambridge Dictionary states that deconstruction is "the act of breaking something down into its separate parts in order to understand its meaning, especially when this is different from how it was previously understood." </li><li>The Merriam-Webster dictionary states that deconstruction is "the analytic examination of something (such as a theory) often in order to reveal its inadequacy."</li></ul><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Deconstruction as literary criticism</h2><p>Deconstruction wasn't intended for literary analysis. Deconstruction was intended to be a criticism of European philosophy <i>in general</i>, especially New Criticism (which was applied to everything, from literature to music to history). No, it said, you cannot create universal meaning! Even simple meanings break down! And so, literary critics took Derrida's paradigm and applied it to literature. </p><p>In literary criticism, deconstructionism is practiced by "reading against the text." First, a close reading of the text is performed to fully understand and articulate the authorial point. Then, the reading is inverted to demonstrate the author's assumptions and flaws in their reasoning. </p><p>A silly example: "How can you feel sympathy for the protagonist of <i>30 Rock</i>, Liz Lemon? She is clearly the villain of this show! She holds out for a perfect partner but refuses to act decently to the people she's in a relationship with, she sees herself as a model of liberal values but compromises them consistently, she asks for sympathy from others but cannot produce a sympathetic reaction from an audience that literarily interprets her actual actions in the narrative at 30 Rockefeller Plaza."</p><p>The ultimate end of the act of deconstruction was the discovery of "aporias": a conundrum, a paradox, a irresoluble impasse in an inquiry. When reading a text against itself, it inevitably breaks down.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The signified butts head with the signifier</h2><p>According to Derrida, and taking inspiration from the work of Ferdinand de Saussure, language as a system of signs and words only has meaning because of the contrast between these signs. That is, being subjective, the text has no fixed meaning, so when we read, we are prone to misread. </p><p>D&D is a great example of the breakdown of meaning inherent in a text.</p><p>The meaning transcends the author's intent, evolving into a new form with repetition, reinterpretation, and the cultural context in which the text lives on, lives longer than the author. </p><p>Gary Gygax scoured books of mythology for monsters to put into his rules for fantastic miniatures campaigns. He found the word "kobold" and described them as "a type of goblin" (more or less true, in a folklore sense). As supplements accumulated, there were a preponderance of goblins. To differentiate them, Gygax and other authors who came after, put flourishes on the description or art: the goblin had a dog-like bark, or was dog-like, or was horned. The art of the "doglike kobold" was put into the computer game Wizardry, which was a big hit in Japan. While kobolds had further evolutions in America, where D&D3E described them as lizard like, Japan continued with their depictions as dogs. Divergent species on two continents.(For a full discussion on the history of kobolds as a monster in D&D, see Knock! issue 5, forthcoming.)</p><p>There are many such cases. Many monsters don't resemble their folkloric counterparts ("trow, or drow, a type of troll" has become "sexy dark elves."). The terms "bard" and "paladin" have outstripped their source material (how can there be paladins without a Palatine Hill?). Even the more modern pulp fantasy inspirations have become misunderstood. What was referential in the text with a wink and a nod for the author and the audience of 1974 is unknown to the modern audience. Obvious references to the alignment patterns of Poul Anderson, the magic swords of Michael Moorcock, the magic systems of Jack Vance, are now obscure to the majority of players. </p><p>Now, when you say "kobold" to an American fantasy adventure gaming enthusiast, the original meaning of "a type of goblin" is gone. If you show them a picture of the kobold in the book that Gygax found the term originally, they say "That is not a kobold." </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbYBqWYKJIs4yladm2Yxb58yQsDXzaWe3YyPCy4HdpUEZrCVNM-7fUfL_RlAodu2PP1Te1W8-KQcuCgvw0efscdM3rReaAYOS8-_nc0DlB5vACaC9Q9XuseaJ24suFDXiSwbDn45tHyV3y1G34yzeTb9dDm_8twW4U8ptlcLhe5G0qN1J9E1xESvGKegz/s936/kobold%20sign%20and%20signifier.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="936" data-original-width="759" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbYBqWYKJIs4yladm2Yxb58yQsDXzaWe3YyPCy4HdpUEZrCVNM-7fUfL_RlAodu2PP1Te1W8-KQcuCgvw0efscdM3rReaAYOS8-_nc0DlB5vACaC9Q9XuseaJ24suFDXiSwbDn45tHyV3y1G34yzeTb9dDm_8twW4U8ptlcLhe5G0qN1J9E1xESvGKegz/s320/kobold%20sign%20and%20signifier.png" width="259" /></a></div><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Deconstructing D&D</h2><p>Critics of D&D (of which I am undoubtedly one) have practiced a cottage industry of deconstructionism for many years. Because gaming is mostly a hobby industry not an academic tradition (yet), this deconstruction is mostly done by instinct. Astute readers can tell that a close reading of the text of the game (we'll table the conversation of "where" the text of the game is - game manual? play culture? conversation during play? - until later) reveals inherent contradictions. </p><p>The game says <i>this</i>, but really <i>that</i>. </p><p></p><blockquote><p>The game says its about <i>heroic fantasy</i>, but the heroic actions players are called on to make include "killing pregnant orcs so that the newborn orc will not trouble you later," aka, literal <i>war crimes</i>.</p><p>The game says its inspired by <i>fantasy stories</i> (the game is like Tolkien! Howard! Vance!), but the narratives of the modules don't have the same storybeats. Instead, the storybeats are more reminiscent of <i>Westerns</i>, stories loaded with manifest destiny colonialization subtext.</p><p>The game says its set in a <i>medieval time period</i>, but the essential touchpoints are all <i>anachronisms </i>(rapiers are Renaissance, the ships depicted are all Age of Sail, and taverns are essentially modern).</p></blockquote><p></p><p>We do not name this action, or couch it in literary terms. But both RPG enthusiasts and RPG detractors have unfairly criticized D&D using deconstructionist techniques since its creation.</p><p>Unfairly, I say, not because the critiques of D&D are wrong, but if the same techniques for reading against the text were applied with the same rigor equally, every RPG would break down as well. </p><p>However, the methodology for reading against D&D's text is applied so regularly, the components of the argument have become folklore for the RPG community. And people, when learning how D&D's text breaks down when you apply these arguments, think its a problem with D&D. </p><p>It isn't. It's just that you learned the formula that makes <i>that</i> specific compound break down. There are stronger acids out there!</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">My point</h2><p>Let me backtrack a minute. I'm not a deconstructionist, and I'm not really making any big claims about the approach. </p><p>I'll quote the somewhat dismissive Khan Academy introduction on deconstructionism: "Junior misreaders worked away, becoming ever more like C.I.A. operatives, decoding false signals sent by a distant enemy, the writer. Deconstruction exalted itself with ever higher pretensions. ... Deconstruction transformed everything into social commentary, easily making affinities with sexual and racial politics, two other militant philosophies that challenge the sanctity of text."</p><p>RPG criticism is still fairly nascent as a lit crit movement, and most people doing it are hobbyists not academics. It would be unfair to criticize this labor, especially because it comes from a place of genuine interest in RPGs as an art space. The point of this blog post is not to do so. </p><p>I'm trying to say: If you are interested in RPG criticism, there are traditions of literary criticism (etc.) that you can start from. That by studying literary criticism, you might arm yourself with the vocabulary to use to express your ideas more clearly. By reading other approaches to text, you can say "Aha, of course, that is what I meant all along! I'm so glad someone else has had this thought before and understands me!" </p><p><br /></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> Posted by <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/11103061574208320331' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Josh</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/02/dungeons-deconstruction.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/02/dungeons-deconstruction.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2025-02-10T06:35:00-08:00'>6:35 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/02/dungeons-deconstruction.html#comment-form' onclick=''> 5 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-136652495'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=5263257411229564231&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=5263257411229564231&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=5263257411229564231&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=5263257411229564231&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=5263257411229564231&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=2433981734782687691&postID=5263257411229564231&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Tuesday, February 4, 2025</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHWutK5J2NBx56OyqX0i0ENBsEi1YR5hjj1ENWeXGmIDUlfIXNTxISBLM228klnzkPLy2b8M77OZo_QO7COY8Si69jPABYv3WJrGptmAWAvL1KPcoSU3ZIDrVFPKuxRMejPsXI2krmv1YBX2G7373hw_6f4XGhfbbylJAqMIrb1EU7mgWaLhB7uvSDO_P0/s320/btw.png' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='2433981734782687691' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='6993885146134064062' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='6993885146134064062'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/02/different-character-creation-methods-at.html'>Different Character Creation Methods at Different Times</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-6993885146134064062' itemprop='description articleBody'> <p>In many RPG books, character creation is right in the front of the book to give the new reader a sense of what the game is about, help them picture who they'll be playing and what they'll be doing, and discuss character-facing rules (hopefully with references to fuller explanations later in the book). </p><p>For veteran players, the instructive "new player" language of this character creation section is often glossed over. They've made 100 characters at this point, sometimes just for fun. They don't need the support structures of walking through a character step by step. Indeed, perhaps they have learned advanced strategies--which feats are best in their group's play style, how to create synergies between choices, and so on.</p><p>Fair enough.</p><p>But what if this was more explicitly part of the game? What if...</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>New players or a group starting a new campaign would use one set of rules (<b>new players | new characters)</b></li><li>If your character dies mid-game and you need a replacement, you use a <i>separate </i>procedure to quickly roll up a new character and jump back into the action (<b>lost adventurers</b>); and</li><li>If your character gets to a high level, you can choose to retire them. Your next character uses a <i>different </i>procedure to create a higher-level character to join the existing party (<b>veterans</b>).</li></ul><div>Additionally, all three tiers might have fundamentally different character options!</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's dig into what this might look like.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Note on system</h2><div>Throughout this post, the system I'll be using to illustrate my point is <a href="https://www.flatlandgames.com/btw/" target="_blank">Beyond the Wall</a> (frankly, my favorite OSR game). I think it already has some of the best character creation rules out there, and I think riffing on the paradigm would be rad. </div><div><br /></div><div>In case you're unfamiliar with the system, here's an example of what a character playbook looks like to get you on the same page.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHWutK5J2NBx56OyqX0i0ENBsEi1YR5hjj1ENWeXGmIDUlfIXNTxISBLM228klnzkPLy2b8M77OZo_QO7COY8Si69jPABYv3WJrGptmAWAvL1KPcoSU3ZIDrVFPKuxRMejPsXI2krmv1YBX2G7373hw_6f4XGhfbbylJAqMIrb1EU7mgWaLhB7uvSDO_P0/s1974/btw.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1274" data-original-width="1974" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHWutK5J2NBx56OyqX0i0ENBsEi1YR5hjj1ENWeXGmIDUlfIXNTxISBLM228klnzkPLy2b8M77OZo_QO7COY8Si69jPABYv3WJrGptmAWAvL1KPcoSU3ZIDrVFPKuxRMejPsXI2krmv1YBX2G7373hw_6f4XGhfbbylJAqMIrb1EU7mgWaLhB7uvSDO_P0/s320/btw.png" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">New players | new characters</h2><p></p><p>If you are new to the game or if you are starting a new campaign, you'll use these rules.</p><p>This set of rules is probably what you're used to seeing in the chapter called "Character Creation." </p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>It's coded for new players</li><li>It assumes you're starting at level 1</li><li>Explicitly associates players with each other; player characters designate how they know each other, establish bonds, why they're adventuring together, etc.</li><li>Equipment comes in flavorful packs tied to a character's backstory</li><li>Fewer choices to allow for new players learning the system</li></ul><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Changes to the rules</h3><p>Characters that you create using this procedure are the baseline for the campaign setting. This here procedure is for regular walkin', not fancy walkin'. For example, you can only create humans + fighter, thief, magic-user, and cleric.</p><p>In a Beyond the Wall paradigm, use the character playbooks from the Village in the core book: Self-Taught Mage, Untested Thief, Village Hero, Witch's Prentice, Would-Be Knight, Young Woodsman.</p><h2>Lost adventurers</h2><div>If your character dies midgame, you want to leap back into the action as soon as possible. It wouldn't make sense to use the normal playbooks: oh, and it's me, your friend from the village, the Young Woodsman. This isn't the time for Merry and Pippin to join the campaign, this is the time Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality.</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>It's designed to get the player to rejoin the game as quickly as possible; mostly random generation</li><li>Character start at level 1, but have a calibration mechanism to "catch up" with the general table level</li><li>Includes <a href="https://blog.d4caltrops.com/2022/06/d100-introductions-for-newly-minted-pcs.html" target="_blank">some contrivance</a> for the character to show up and join the adventure</li></ul><div><h3>Changes to the rules</h3><p>Characters you find chained to the wall of the dungeon waiting to be released and join the party have an opportunity to be weirder than the people from the Village. Here, you can introduce character options that are further afield from the baseline: elves, dwarves, princesses, talking dogs, etc.</p><p>In Beyond the Wall, you can use playbooks that include Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, the Nobility, and even the "Normal Bear" playbook. I'd edit them to cut the "You know the person on your right because" worldbuilding questions and replace them with <a href="https://blog.d4caltrops.com/2022/06/d100-introductions-for-newly-minted-pcs.html" target="_blank">d100 - Introductions for Newly Minted PCs In Medias Res</a>. </p><h2>Veterans</h2><div>When a character reaches a name level or completes a satisfying arc, I think it's fun to retire them. Why would I go adventuring at this point in my character's story? I did the quest. Let me put my blorbo on their farm with their wife and live happily ever after. But I, Josh, still want to play the game.</div></div></div><div><br /></div><div>These rules are for players who have mastered the game. </div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Characters start at a higher level</li><li>Characters are built in a bespoke way, picking and choosing traits, feats, and equipment from a list</li><li>Start with a number of randomly generated minor magic items to represent their previous accomplishments</li><li>Starting level, wealth, magic items, etc., based on level of retired character</li></ul><div><h3>Changes to the rules</h3><p>Characters that join the game at a high level have an opportunity to serve as mentors to lower level characters in the same way that veteran players can teach newer players how to play the game.</p><p>In Beyond the Wall, unlocked characters can be made using the character creation rules from the book instead of being created via playbooks. Options from the Elders playbooks can be made available: the Dungeon Delver, the Dwarven Mentor, the Initiated Magician, the Landless Noble, the Learned Tutor, the Retired Veteran. Let these characters start with higher level spells and some magic items from the expansion books.</p></div></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Closing notes </h2><p><a href="http://hismajestytheworm.games" target="_blank">His Majesty the Worm</a> does this, kind of. New characters get XP to spend on cross-Path talents for every XP and arete point your retired character has. Making a character to join a game already-in-progress allows you to utilize a "quantum character" where you answer questions about your talents, what's in your pack, etc., as it comes up during the game. I could have leaned into this harder, though. Perhaps a second edition paradigm advancement?</p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'>
