color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px;">The Lord of the Rings Adventure Game is one of my favorite </span><a href="https://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2020/04/licensed-tolkien-role-playing-games.html" style="background-color: white; color: #2288bb; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-decoration-line: none;">licensed Tolkien games</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px;">. It was released in 1991, and was largely the work of long-time ICE designer Jessica Ney (credited variously as Jessica Ney and J. M. Ney in different parts of the credits). It is a "starter RPG," designed to ease new and younger players into the hobby. To this end, they stripped the game down to a super simple, super streamlined system. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px;">The eventual goal was to get these new players to eventually graduate to the "advanced" MERP products, of which there was now a significant backlog. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px;">A lot of modern OSR folks prefer Basic to Expert because, well, you can do more with the simpler version. Similarly, I prefer Lord of the Rings Adventure Game (curiously shortened to "LOR" in the book). There are so many rules in LOR that feel like cutting-edge OSR innovations: slot-based inventory, HP-powered spellcasting, starting equipment packages. It has an early iteration of D&D4E's skill challenges (called "action sequences" in the book). The rules were even called "Guidelines," as the author demurred from putting too much emphasis on their own intention and wanting each GM to make their own rulings (guidings not guidelines, anyone?).</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.2px;">LOR was supposed to be released as sort of an "adventure path" of five books, two adventures per book. However, only three made it to print.</span></span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">(1991) Lord of the Rings Adventure Game, Dawn Comes Early (Boxed Set)</span></span></li><li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">(1991) Darker than the Darkness</span></span></li><li><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">(1993) Over the Misty Mountains Cold</span></span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.2px;"></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">Two more sequel books were promised to be available (Before the Goblins in 1993 and Greatest of the Forests in 1994), but never reached publication. Why? Well, at the same time period, ICE was also publishing a series of choose your own adventure books called Middle-earth Quest. Tolkien Estate claimed this violated their license, since they were only allowed to publish <i>games </i>based on the license, not <i>books</i>. The fourth Middle-earth Quest book was actually recalled and destroyed en masse. Are CYOA books games or books? Regardless of the epistemological answer, ICE went bankrupt with the suit, and the LOR series was scrapped.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">Let me be clear: The LOR adventures are <i>not good</i>. They are pure railroads. </span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px;">Every roll behind the screen is made to be fudged.</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.2px;">Designed for parents to run for their children, there are no consequences. Every failed roll by the players culminates in a rescue by a named NPC like Gandalf with a finger wag telling them to get back onto the railroad.</span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">But the writing! The writing is good! You just need to deconstruct the railroad and repurpose it into an antique iron sculpture. All the guts are worth reusing. Decouple it from the idea of faux rolls and intended outcomes, let it be an open-ended sandbox, and I think the game is absolutely worth playing.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="font-size: 13.2px;">Anyway, this weekend, I'm running a game based on my <a href="https://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2017/09/1937-hobbit-as-setting.html" target="_blank">Wilderland </a>series and the Lord of the Rings Adventure Game. It's sort of a retroclone and reinterpretation of a flawed text, in true OSR tradition. I'm calling it "LORE." </span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, Palatino Linotype, Palatino, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 13.2px;">Here is a picture of me prepping the game.</span></span></p><p><span style="color: #666666;

Too many of my previous thoughts were placed into tweets and became too ephemeral. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Glossary</h3><p>Some quick definitions of terms:</p><p><b>Lore Bids: </b>In <a href="http://hismajestytheworm.games/" target="_blank"><i>His Majesty the Worm</i></a>, you can ask a question of the GM and receive <i>as much information as the GM can tell you </i>about a subject related to one of your motifs. This is called "bidding lore." You can bid lore 4 times per Crawl Phase.</p><p><b>Disassociated Mechanic:</b> A <a href="https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/17231/roleplaying-games/dissociated-mechanics-a-brief-primer" target="_blank">dissociated mechanic</a> is one which is disconnected from the game world. A player character knows that they have six pitons in their backpack. They do not know that they have 12 HP or 4 lore bids left. In a word, non-diegetic. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What are the goals behind using disassociated mechanics like Lore?</h2><p>In old-school D&D, you have to rest every sixth turn (that is, for 10 minutes out of every hour of dungeon exploration). If you fail to do so, PCs get a –1 penalty to attack and damage rolls. This is one of the ways that time pressure is put onto PCs, and one of the limited resources that incentivizes the "deeper into the dungeon for loot or retreat" loop.</p><p>This loop is something I was interested in evoking in <i>His Majesty the Worm</i>. And as someone who does a fair bit of hiking, it makes sense to me. Dungeon crawling would be scary, exhausting, stressful. It would fatigue both body and mind. How do you translate that feeling into the game design?</p><p>Here's my pitch: Players will feel that they are becoming weak and tired when their characters begin to lose resources. But "loss of access to powers" feels different than "takes penalties." I think penalties are less fun. There's something in our ape brain that interprets "You start your day with a +1 bonus!" vs "You must rest or take a -1 penalty" differently.</p><p>Also, beyond the simple grind of "rest 1 turn in 6" from old-school D&D, I think that giving players a choice when they use their physical abilities (Resolve) and mental abilities (Lore) feels better. Making choices is what is fun about games.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Why 4?</h3><p>Well, 4 is sorta the magic number in <i>His Majesty the Worm</i>, isn't it? </p><p>But more than that, I think that 4 is a nice round number that lets players translate the disassociated mechanic into <i>something </i>they could talk about in character because you might feel 25/50/100% exhausted. </p><p>I think this is a lot cleaner than the way we talk about HP. 5 damage means something very different to a magic-user with 4HP vs a fighter with 36 HP. Is 5 HP a heavy wound or not? If a cleric asks how much healing you need, would you say out loud in character: "Well, if I was to gauge my life on an arbitrary scale from 1-36, I would say about 12 points of life would feel good to me right now."</p><p>If I can run 4 miles, I know that I've hit 25% of my limit after the first mile. </p><p>If I spend 3 lore bids, I know that I'm getting fuzzy brained and can't think straight. I can <i>use those sorts of words </i>to describe the disassociated mechanics in an associated way. It's like using the word "bloodied" in 4E. It makes sense at a certain level.</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/2024/11/mechanics-microblogging-lore-bids.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2024/11/mechanics-microblogging-lore-bids.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-11-08T07:03:00-08:00'>7:03 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2024/11/mechanics-microblogging-lore-bids.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=6943058894008334050&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=6943058894008334050&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=6943058894008334050&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

The sixth displays the words "脌 mon seul d茅sir". The (sixth) tapestry's intended meaning is obscure."</p><p>Here is a puzzle inspired by these tapestries. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">A Sequence of Illustrations and Empty Pedestals </h2><p>A gallery. The floor is a mosaic of a noble woman with a speech bubble saying: "Bring me what I desire." </p><p>On the walls there are five tapestries, each depicting a woman and a unicorn in various poses. In front of each tapestry is an empty pedestal.</p><p>The tapestries are:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>A noble lady petting a unicorn, one hand on its curling horn, another stroking its mane. (Touch)</li><li>A noble lady eating sweetmeats. A unicorn grazes nearby. (Taste)</li><li>A noble lady making a garland of flowers, a unicorn nuzzles in curiously. (Smell)</li><li>A noble lady playing an organ, a unicorn rampant. (Hearing)</li><li>A noble lady gazes into a mirror, a unicorn kneels and lays its head in her lap. (Sight)</li></ul><p></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">The gimmick</h3><div>Each tapestry depicts one of the five senses. The puzzle is solved by placing something of high quality that can be enjoyed by that sense. For example, a bouquet of flowers or a bottle of perfume would "unlock" the smell pedestal; a work of art or a piece of jewelry would "unlock" the sight pedestal, etc.</div><div><br /></div><div>There's not a single answer for any pedestal, but the item should be considered a "nice gift." </div><div><br /></div><div>If all five pedestals have appropriate offerings on them, a secret panel opens in the wall. In it is a unicorn horn lance. </div><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/AVvXsEimNU39yeh9j5RjOTfF99nrHV8Qzeiz7QY6Ck7tOhcIwZlx4bAL4OvDaBnjgdnaBVZFbeuaoQkpmBUrJLrt1VZn63QLeHs6OI_xshZ3n4usGEk55l9ymBud5915LdcJSltPK9Ya3yeTWPAnwuzJQgtBhwZkAegxnxQMWC23s1wfT6ih7-cIf33hQpV9-yRT/s1279/PXL_20240528_145504851.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1279" data-original-width="963" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimNU39yeh9j5RjOTfF99nrHV8Qzeiz7QY6Ck7tOhcIwZlx4bAL4OvDaBnjgdnaBVZFbeuaoQkpmBUrJLrt1VZn63QLeHs6OI_xshZ3n4usGEk55l9ymBud5915LdcJSltPK9Ya3yeTWPAnwuzJQgtBhwZkAegxnxQMWC23s1wfT6ih7-cIf33hQpV9-yRT/s320/PXL_20240528_145504851.jpg" width="241" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Look at this thing.

I have used it before. It is fun.</p><p>There is a maze in the dungeon. It has many twists and turns, to say nothing about the zombies. Those who enter the maze become lost. If they are very lucky, they end up back at the entrance. </p><p>Only the minotaur at the center of the maze can guide you to him. </p><p>(The minotaur can be anything, reflavor to suit your dungeon. It can be a ghost, a pirate smuggler, or even the dungeon's echoes.)</p><p>To navigate through the maze, the players must ring a bell. The minotaur at the center will ring a bell in response to help guide them. The players can discover this information by talking to other dungeon denizens or through rumors in the City.</p><p><b>Optional hook:</b> You must find a <i>specific </i>bell elsewhere in the dungeon, not just any bell. The ringing of the bell compels you, child! </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">How to run the puzzle</h3><p>When the players enter the maze, they come to a series of branching paths going left or right. If they ring their bell at this fork, they hear a returning chime: high C (an octave above middle C) for right and low C (an octave below middle C) for left. </p><p>If the players make the right choice, they progress to another fork in the maze. If they get it wrong, they get into a fight with a zombie wandering the maze and come back to the entrance.</p><p>At first, the meaning of the tones won't be understood and the direction they choose will be random. Once they get it wrong a few times, they'll understand that sometimes they hear a high tone and a low tone, and sometimes they return to the entrance and sometimes they progress in the maze. This will let players work out the meaning of the tones.</p><p>Once they've understood the pattern, you can go through a few forking paths - right, left, left, right, right - to let the players feel they've mastered it.</p><p>Then, throw in a curve ball. The next branching path they come to can be left, right, or straight ahead. If the correct path is "straight ahead," the minotaur will ring a bell that's middle C. (Distinguishing this middle tone can be more challenging than hearing "high" vs "low.") </p><p>Again, players can use trial and error to figure out the pattern. Once they have the complete pattern, you can handwave the dozens of series of twists and turns. They arrive at the center of the maze and meet the minotaur face to face.</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/2024/10/the-musical-minotaur-maze.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-musical-minotaur-maze.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2024-10-29T06:21:00-07:00'>6:21 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='http://riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-musical-minotaur-maze.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=8039234869606507535&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=8039234869606507535&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=8039234869606507535&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

Like everything on the timescale of eternity, the process is slow. They can attempt to use their powers only once a month, in the darkness of the new moon. Each attempt is clumsy, unskilled. Vampires at this point might attempt to shapeshift and grow their neck grotesquely long.

They speak eloquently with stolen voices. More on this later.</p><p>The true history of ghouls is a strange one, and little known except by scholars of obscure occult subjects. Like elves, ghouls were native residents of the Far Realms (Wastes, in all probability) who came to the Realm of Flesh and became trapped. The ghouls' stories on the subject describe being "burned by comets" when they tried to return home.</p><p>Ghouls are sapiensaprovores. Their only source of food is human flesh (preferably rotted). They prefer to harvest these bodies from graveyards ("farms," they call them), and are not by nature hateful or murderous. Conflict between humans and ghouls mostly comes from humans objecting to ghouls stealing bodies and defiling the dead. </p><p>After a ghoul eats body, they take on the characteristics of the person they devoured. They learn things the living once knew. They can speak with the departed's voice. Parts of the dead person's personality become lodged in their head, and big personalities might subsume older or more mild ones. A ghoul might even begin to introduce themselves as "Arcturus the Uniting King" or "Francisco the Friar." </p><p>Because graveyards share a metaphysical border with the Underworld, ghouls can travel from the Wide World to the Underworld by digging through the soil. Ghouls encountered in the Underworld might try to follow behind an guild, hoping that some trap or monster will turn them from adventurers into food. They are also happy to scavenge zombie flesh, if those creatures are encountered. </p><p><b>Likes:</b> Rotten Human Flesh, Hearing About Your Dreams, Interesting Rumors, Wants to Resolve the Unfinished Business of its Last Meal</p><p><b>Hates: </b>Bright Lights (shy), Mirrors (dysmorphic)</p><p><b>Attributes: </b>Swords 0 | Pentacles 0 | Cups 0 | Wands 0</p><p><b>HD</b> 2/1</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Notes</h3><p><b>Burrowing. </b>Ghouls can burrow through soft earth and mud like a mole. </p><p><b>Rotting Brains. </b>Ghouls have strange, crowded brains.

In particular, hags are marked by a specific desire to sell their soul in exchange for the power to do harm. </p><p>Selling ones soul is not a simple or tidy affair. It's not a tangible thing, and despite popular conceptions, devils are not regularly in the market. Really, a better way to phrase this is "Killing ones soul." </p><p>Hags cut away their humanity, piece by piece, until only the hag remains. This is done through years of ritual acts of deliberate cruelty. Step by step, through ceremonial murder and cannibalism, hags kill their capacity to feel pity, feel shame, feel mercy. </p><p>Each hag is unique. Each has some strange skill or preternatural ability. For example:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>able to rot gold into straw by playing the fiddle</li><li>long, razor wire hair</li><li>the ability to speak to iron</li><li>a wooden puppet body dangling from strings of human hair, puppeted by the hag</li><li>the ability to hold their breath for hours, lives in a swamp</li></ul>Use this as a base stat block for a generic hag and add something weird to make your NPC sing.<p></p><p><b>Likes:</b> Rhymes and Riddles, Soups of Strange Ingredients, Babies' Fat Cheeks (potent reagents)</p><p><b>Hates:</b> Candy, Cleanliness, Religious Iconography (blasphemous)</p><p><b>Attributes: </b>Swords 1 | Pentacles 2 | Cups 3 | Wands 4</p><p><b>HD </b>3/3</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Notes</h3><p><b>Bloated Corpse's Defense. </b>When a hag takes a Wound, if the GM wishes, they are automatically disengaged and Displaced to an adjacent zone by flying.</p><p><b>Smell Magic.</b> The hag can smell magical effects. They can identify who is and isn’t a sorcerer by scent.</p><p><b>Untouched by Hot Iron. </b>Hags are immune to any crafted or forged weapon. They are still vulnerable to natural dangers like fire, falls, and drowning. They can even be bashed by a branch or stone.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Lesser dooms</h3><p><b>Hex. </b>Hags can make Attacks or Roughhouse using arcane energy up to one zone away. They add their Wands attribute to these attempts on their turn. Hags are not engaged by using this ability. </p><p><b>Ride the Wind. </b>Play a lesser doom card to Move to an adjacent zone through flight.</p><p><b>Unnatural Sorcery.</b> Each hag has one or two spells from Appendix A that they have mastered. They can cast these spells by Speaking Incantations. They do not require spell components or use Resolve to cast this spell.</p><p>The following spells are likely candidates for hags: Control Undead, Fleshcraft, Stinking Cloud, Withering, Gust of Wind, Totem, Woodweave, Wall of Elements, Animate Object, Scry, Shroud, Binding, Veritas, Seal Pact</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">Greater dooms</h3><p><b>Counter-spell.</b> Hags can use the Counter-spell Talent (core book, p. 82). They discard a greater doom instead of spending Resolve, when appropriate.</p><p><br /></p> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line
