Which isn’t really surprising, I’m inspired to work on it and I don’t have anything else related to tabletop games drawing my attention right now. I enjoy the OD&D game I participate in on Monday but don’t have a lot to say about it beyond that, and it’s been awhile since my Pathfinder group has found time to get together. So when I work on tabletop stuff, it’s focused on the Legend of Zelda.</p> <p>But I thought that instead of posting <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/merciless-monsters-v-lozas-skeleton-and-popo/">another monster constructed with a half-finished monster system</a>, I’d adapt one of the most classic Zelda enemies to Pathfinder: The octorock. It’s a land-based octopus that shoots rocks out of its mouth. Literally, that’s how it was originally conceived.

That game’s conception of the creature was a little less silly looking I think.

It takes far too long, and the results are not worth the effort it involves. My monsters will have no skills, nor will they have any feats, nor will they be constructed with painstaking care to ensure that the CR is “accurate.” Personally, I don’t even use the CR anymore, preferring that my players learn the fine art of running away if they encounter something beyond their ability. I’ll still include the most accurate CR I can, but it will be estimated, not calculated.</p> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Pathfinder Octorok</h1> <p>The Octorok is an aberration which makes its home in plains. It is often incorrectly assumed that the octorok prefers plains of dirt, but this is only an illusion. Octoroks often migrate to grassy plains rich in plant and insect life, but they quickly overgraze the land, reducing it to an expanse of dirt where the creatures must forage for worms, beetles, and nutrient-rich soil.</p> <p>Part of this confusion rises from the assumption that the nozzle on an Octorok’s face is a ‘mouth.’ For lack of a better word, it is in fact a kind of sphincter which the octorok uses to expel waste products. The octorok’s actual ‘mouth’ is an unusual scooping apparatus located on the bottom of its body. Octoroks feed by moving across the ground at high speeds, picking up soil, insects, and plant life as they do so. The octorok’s digestive tract quickly siphons part of this collection into the octorok’s stomach, where it is digested and used to produce energy. Meanwhile, any unneeded food, or inedible substances such as stones, are shunted to the octorok’s colon, where they are coated in an unusual kind of adhesive juice which is actually quite valuable if it can be harvested. This organ shapes the ‘leftovers’ into a solid ball, which the octorok can hurl with some force from its forward nozzle. The ball formed by this process is quite hard, making this hurling ability an effective defense mechanism for the octorok.</p> <p>While similar in appearance to the aquatic Octopus, Octoroks differ in a number of important ways to help them survive and thrive on land. On close inspection, their eight ‘legs’ more closely resemble the bodies of snakes than they do the suckered tentacles of a cephalopod. While these legs might not seem practical, they actually allow this aberration to move much faster than many larger creatures. Most of the Octorok’s body is also covered by a soft ‘shell’ which protects the creature from most attacks. While this shell is not calcified as a turtle’s shell is, meaning it can be pierced or cut, it is actually much more resistant to cracking, and distributes the force of an impact more effectively. This is a useful ability when traveling in a herd of creatures which are constantly hurling heavy objects around.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Octorok</h2> <p><em>A dull red creature darts past you on a mass of wriggling legs.

My groups always seem to have a lot of fun, or at least enough fun that they’re willing to return to my table. Plus there’s the few hundred people who seem to think I’m interesting enough to warrant reading this site, so I figure I can’t be failing completely. Unless a <em>lot</em> of you are just google bots and image wranglers.</p> <p>…damnit, that’s exactly what you are, isn’t it?</p> <p>Regardless, I believe that a person should always look for ways to improve, and I need to improve as a GM in more ways than I’m comfortable admitting. I rarely come away from a game session without feeling as though there’s something I could have done <em>much</em> better. I am honestly embarrassed to admit to some of these flaws, and I questioned whether or not I even wanted to share this post. But I also believe that the best kind of writer is one who is brutally honest. Especially regarding themselves. So here we go;</p> <p><em>I wet the bed into my teen years.</em></p> <p>There. Everything after that should be easy, right?</p> <p><strong>Consistency</strong> is a big personal battle for me, and my failure to be consistent has often affected my GMing in numerous ways. The extent of my preparations, for example, varies wildly. Occasionally I’ll come to a game with ten or twenty pages worth of notes, but more often I’ve got maybe a page of sloppily assembled chicken-scratches. I have a terrible habit of letting other concerns get in the way of my game mastering responsibilities.</p> <p>Fortunately, or not, my greatest strength as a GM is improvisation. I can pull a varied and interesting game out of thin air without too much effort. But I think this ability can become more of a crutch than a boon. Even the best improvisations are rarely consistent with games I’ve run in the past. Players start to notice little oddities: “If half of the villagers have disappeared, shouldn’t there be empty houses we can stay in? Why do we need to stay in the mayor’s spare room?”</p> <p>Perhaps my worst inconsistency is in my scheduling of games. I often put off arranging the next game session, because I find social situations so draining. It’s strange that someone like myself, who always feels exhausted after spending an extended amount of time with people, would be so attracted to a game that is inherently social. I’m a walking contradiction, apparently.</p> <p><strong>Overland Travel</strong> has been a weakness of mine for years. The way I handle it <em>did</em> vastly improve <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/making-travel-more-engaging/">when I began mapping my overworlds with hexes</a>. But drastically improved does not mean good enough. I still truggle with basic elements of presentation. I currently have my players indicate how they’d like to travel on a hex grid, and I fill in the blanks as they do so. Not only is it a waste of time to have me filling in hexes, but I hate that my current method has players interacting with a grid, rather than using their imaginations to create the environment for themselves.</p> <p>I’ve been reading <a href="http://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/17308/roleplaying-games/hexcrawl" data-versionurl="https://www.paperspencils.com/amber/cache/cf1a72ede186e33dfde7031de30ec7b7/" data-versiondate="2021-10-30T13:49:55+00:00" data-amber-behavior="">a series of posts written by The Alexandrian on this subject</a>, which address many of the issues I’ve had with running hex crawls. Hopefully after tinkering with it, and trying to run a hex map according to his guidelines, I’ll have a firmer grasp of how a game like that should function. I would like overland travel to be one of the highlights of my games, where adventure hooks lurk behind every hex, and players can spend an entire session being entertained by a lengthy journey. I’ve been able to capture some element of that in my games so far, but I want <em>more.</em></p> <p><strong>Economies</strong> in my games never make much sense. Going back to the problem with consistency, there’s rarely a set buying power for a gold piece, or any real gauge on how common it is. When my players approach their wizard friend and ask for a completely reasonable magic device that they should be able to acquire (but for which there is no precedent),  I come up with a price that ‘seems right.’ Only later do I realize that I’ve significantly over or underestimated the item’s value. I also have a bad habit of being a great deal more generous with treasure than I ought to be, because I’m worried about keeping my players engaged in the adventure if they don’t feel suitably rewarded.</p> <p>Yes, I know that’s ridiculous.</p> <p><strong>Focus</strong> isn’t something I even realized I was failing at until recently. I started making audio recordings of my games, and realized that my group and I spend a lot of time chit-chatting during game sessions. Worse: more often than not those tangents originate with me. Time for a big surprise: I like the sound of my own voice. You could make the argument that so long as everyone is having fun, it’s not really a problem. But, having <a href="http://untimately.blogspot.com/search/label/Pahvelorn">played in Brendan’s OD&D game</a>, I’ve seen how much better the game is when everyone keeps their attention on the game. Brendan does a great job of gently guiding everyone’s focus back to the game when it strays. In that way he’s provided a model for me to learn from.</p> <p><strong>Traps</strong> are my weakness when it comes to dungeon crawls. Otherwise, I think I do a pretty decent job of making dungeons work in my games. But when it comes to traps, I’ve never been able to pull them off satisfactorily. Either they’re so non-threatening as to be boring, or they’re so deadly as to be cheap. In part, I blame the game systems I’ve GMed for this one: D&D 3.X and Pathfinder. Skill checks are not a very fun way for a player to search for traps, nor are disable device checks a fun way to get rid of them. I covered this a bit in my skills analyses of both <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/overview-of-pathfinders-skills-perception/">perception</a> and <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/overview-of-pathfinders-skills-disable-device-to-fly/">disable device</a>. However, having now played in Brendan’s OD&D game where traps are handled <em>properly</em>, I feel as though I have a better understanding of what makes them fun, and why I’ve only had limited success with them in the past. I guess here, again, Brendan has provided a model to help me improve my own GMing. Thanks!</p> <p><strong>Low Magic</strong> eludes me. I dislike fantasy settings where magic serves as technology. It can be fun now and again, but the world is much more interesting when magic is rare. Yet I always seem to end up in high-magic games. I’m not quite sure how it happens. One minute there’s only one wizard in the area, and he’s a crusty old curmudgeon. The next moment I’ve offhandedly mentioned to my players that there’s a wizard’s college in the capitol city. Fuck! Butter luck next campaign.</p> <p>There you have it. My biggest failings as a GM. Hopefully I can get them sorted out soon and move on to more minor issues with my style.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="date-author"><span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/what-i-need-to-improve-on-as-a-game-master/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2012-08-29T05:45:29-07:00">August 29, 2012</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-02-13T09:00:01-08:00">February 13, 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.paperspencils.com/author/admin/">LS</a></span></span></span><span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/category/rules-discussion/single-post-discussions/" rel="category tag">Single-Post Rules Discussions</a></span><span class="tags-links">Tagged <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/my-games/" rel="tag">My Games</a>. </span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/what-i-need-to-improve-on-as-a-game-master/#comments">12 Comments</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-2546" class="post-2546 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-legend-of-zelda-adventure-system tag-lozas tag-theorycrafting"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-combat-notes/" rel="bookmark">Legend of Zelda Adventure System: Notes on Combat</a></h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="863" height="693" data-attachment-id="11786" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-combat-notes/290187-1173168686467/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?fit=950%2C763&ssl=1" data-orig-size="950,763" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="290187-1173168686467" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?fit=300%2C241&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?fit=863%2C693&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?resize=863%2C693" alt="" class="wp-image-11786" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?w=950&ssl=1 950w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?resize=300%2C241&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?resize=768%2C617&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?resize=863%2C693&ssl=1 863w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290187-1173168686467.jpg?resize=134%2C108&ssl=1 134w" sizes="(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p>I would like for the LOZAS system to be a paradigm example of simplicity in motion. Combat in gameplay should move  quickly, because combat in the source material moves quickly. Hacking and slashing your way through a room full of enemies is part of a Zelda-style adventure, but it rarely takes center stage. When it <em>does</em> take center stage, it can be an intense experience, but rarely a long one. My goal, then, is to build a simple and easy to run combat system which can still model complex tactics. Combat should be fast, but that doesn’t mean it should be easy.</p> <p>In approaching this aspect of the game’s design, my thinking is to start simple. First, figure out how the bare bones of combat will be handled, then add in the core mechanics I want to use for the game. Once those two elements are in place, I’ll call it done until playtesting shows me that something more is needed. And <em>if</em> that happens, my first question for myself will be “Was the GM able to handle it?” If so, are additional rules really needed?</p> <p>A <strong>basic attack roll</strong> will be handled by rolling 1d20 against a target number. Since I’m trying to create a numerically simple game without too many bonuses or penalties for players to keep track of, the maximum armor class will be pretty low. Likely somewhere between 18 and 24. If the player rolls a 20 on their attack roll, it is an automatic hit. If a 20 would have hit anyway, then it is a critical hit as well. Upon a critical hit, the player doubles the number of dice they roll for damage. GMs are also encouraged to make critical hits–both for and against the players–memorable. Not through painful attempts at florid prose, but by having the hit affect the battle in a more significant way than simply causing extra damage. A broken weapon or bone, a scar, losing a finger; any of these would be appropriate.</p> <p><strong>Called shots</strong> will be a central mechanic in the game. I discussed this in detail not too long ago so I won’t re-tread that ground here. Essentially speaking, the players are encouraged to declare that they are attacking a specific part of the creature, such as an arm, or an eye. The GM makes a ruling on the spot regarding the difficutly of this maneuver, and tells the player that it will be Easy, Moderate, Difficult, or Nearly Impossible. Only after hearing how difficult the attack will be does the player decide whether or not they’d like to attempt the attack. If they do, standard critical hit rules apply. Some creatures may be particularly strong or weak on different parts of their bodies.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="575" height="336" data-attachment-id="11787" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-combat-notes/290200-1173168808773/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290200-1173168808773.jpg?fit=575%2C336&ssl=1" data-orig-size="575,336" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="290200-1173168808773" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290200-1173168808773.jpg?fit=300%2C175&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290200-1173168808773.jpg?fit=575%2C336&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290200-1173168808773.jpg?resize=575%2C336" alt="" class="wp-image-11787" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290200-1173168808773.jpg?w=575&ssl=1 575w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290200-1173168808773.jpg?resize=300%2C175&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290200-1173168808773.jpg?resize=185%2C108&ssl=1 185w" sizes="(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p><strong>Battle Maneuvers</strong> cover a large range of different things. If a player would like to trip their foe, or attempt to break their opponent’s weapon, or try to blind their opponent by throwing dust in their eyes, then both the attacker and the target make opposed battle maneuver checks. This is a 1d20 roll, with the individual’s battle maneuver score added to it.</p> <p>The battle maneuver score is calculated by taking both a character’s body and agility score. For each score, 11 counts as 0, while any number higher than 11 adds +1, and any number lower than 11 adds -1. So a body score of 14 would grant a +3, while a body score of 9 would confer a -2. Once both body and agility have been calculated in this manner, add the two numbers together, and this is the character’s battle maneuver score.</p> <p>Anything a player wants to do within combat is either an <strong>action, or a non-action</strong>. Things such as talking, dropping an item or drawing weapons are non-actions. They do not require a significant amount of time or attention, and so they do not use up a player’s turn. Whereas things such as moving, swinging a weapon, throwing an item, using a special ability, attempting a battle maneuver or casting a spell, all count as actions. Each player is allowed to make 2 actions during their turn. So on a single turn, a soldier could move their full speed twice, or they could move their speed once and attack, or they could attack twice.</p> <p>Regarding <strong>movement</strong>, I see no reason to handle it differently than the way Pathfinder did. Hylians (the game’s only playable race) move at a default speed of 30ft per action, and each square on a battle grid will represent 5ft. I like the system and it works well enough. However, it’s important that the game can be run <em>without</em> a battle mat as well. Grids are useful for tactical battles, but for games played over the internet (which are increasingly popular) they can be more of an inconvenience than they are worth. Running a game without the mat is usually just as simple as choosing not to use a mat, but I would like to create a subset of rules which allow players to benefit from their character’s speed even when a mat is unavailable.</p> <p>On that note, I’ve always felt as though Pathfinder was missing an opportunity by keeping movement speed largely static. The ability to move an extra 5 ft represents an interesting tactical advantage in combat, and the reverse is an interesting disadvantage. Different movement speeds will play a more pronounced role in this game than I’ve personally seen in other games.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="413" data-attachment-id="11788" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-combat-notes/290203-1173168896822/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290203-1173168896822.jpg?fit=600%2C413&ssl=1" data-orig-size="600,413" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="290203-1173168896822" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290203-1173168896822.jpg?fit=300%2C207&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290203-1173168896822.jpg?fit=600%2C413&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290203-1173168896822.jpg?resize=600%2C413" alt="" class="wp-image-11788" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290203-1173168896822.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290203-1173168896822.jpg?resize=300%2C207&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290203-1173168896822.jpg?resize=157%2C108&ssl=1 157w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p><strong>Initiative</strong> will be handled in an OD&D style, because as I’ve mentioned, I quite like it. A ‘designated initiative roller’ will roll 1d6 for the party, while the GM will roll 1d6 for the monsters involved in the combat. Whoever wins the roll will go first as a group, followed by the group who failed the roll, after which initiative will be re-determined. GMs are encouraged to offer minor initiative bonuses or penalties to groups who put themselves in a particularly good bad position at the end of the round.</p> <p><strong>GM rulings</strong> and on-the-fly modifiers are very important to the LOZAS combat system. Game masters are encouraged to allow characters to make extra actions, give penalties or bonuses to any type of roll, or otherwise modify the rules during play. This is not a subversion of the game’s rules, or a type of haphazard house-ruling, it is an essential part of making the system work correctly. The mechanics above provide combat with structure. The die rolls inject the simulated battle with chaos. The rulings of the GM provide the final piece, by rewarding or punishing the player’s tactics.</p> <p>For example, there are no attacks of opportunity written into these rules. None the less, there may be times when a player or an NPC will leave themselves vulnerable to an attack. If a player is engaged in a duel and chooses to turn tail and run in the opposite direction, their foe should be given an opportunity to attack them as they flee. No rule covers this eventuality, but GMs are encouraged to take advantage if they feel it is appropriate.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="date-author"><span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-combat-notes/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2012-08-27T05:45:30-07:00">August 27, 2012</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-01-24T13:45:46-08:00">January 24, 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.paperspencils.com/author/admin/">LS</a></span></span></span><span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/category/rules-discussion/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system/" rel="category tag">Legend of Zelda Adventure System</a></span><span class="tags-links">Tagged <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/lozas/" rel="tag">LOZAS</a>, <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/theorycrafting/" rel="tag">Theorycrafting</a>. </span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-combat-notes/#comments">13 Comments</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-2565" class="post-2565 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-page-by-page-gary-gygax-dmg tag-gary-gygaxs-dmg tag-osr tag-page-by-page"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/page-by-page-gary-gygaxs-dmg-part-7/" rel="bookmark">Page by Page: Gary Gygax’s DMG Part 7</a></h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1446" height="334" data-attachment-id="11790" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/page-by-page-gary-gygaxs-dmg-part-7/garygygax_dmg_curvedsword/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?fit=1446%2C334&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1446,334" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?fit=300%2C69&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?fit=863%2C200&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?fit=863%2C200" alt="" class="wp-image-11790" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?w=1446&ssl=1 1446w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?resize=300%2C69&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?resize=768%2C177&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?resize=1024%2C237&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?resize=863%2C199&ssl=1 863w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/GaryGygax_DMG_CurvedSword.png?resize=468%2C108&ssl=1 468w" sizes="(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px" /></figure></div> <p>Wow, it’s been almost two months since I updated the <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/gary-gygaxs-dmg/">Page by Page</a> series! I’d like to apologize to those who have been following this one. I really let it get away from me without noticing. This is the seventh installment of my continuing series on the 1979 Dungeon Master’s Guide, written by Gary Gygax. This post begins with the section “Special Types of Attacks” on page 70, and continues to the end of page 79.</p> <p>To recap:  This is not a review of the DMG. I am not attempting to evaluate its quality, nor the quality of the AD&D system. I am merely going through the book as a modern gamer, learning about the roots of RPGs, and making note when I see something surprising or interesting, or something which could be adapted for modern games.</p> <p><strong>Attacks With Two Weapons:</strong> I found this a little odd. “Characters normally using a single weapon may choose to use one in each hand (possibly discarding the option of using a shield).” The way I read that, it sounds as though characters who choose to dual wield <em>might </em>need to give up using their shield, but might not. Would they somehow wield two swords and a shield at the same time?</p> <p>I’m not entirely sure what Gygax meant by this, but I find the imagery amusing. Perhaps he was making allowances for forearm mounted bucklers which don’t cover the wielder’s hands? Those existed, right?</p> <p><strong>Breaking Off From Melee:</strong> Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Attacks of opportunity? In my first edition? Apparently it’s more likely than I thought! I realize this isn’t exactly as comprehensive as the AoO in 3.x/Pathfinder, but it functions in much the same way. For so long I’ve heard old-school players complain that attacks of opportunity are part of the needless complication of the modern game’s battle system. And yet here I find pretty much exactly that. How curious!</p> <p><strong>Monk’s Open Hand Melee</strong>: I like this idea a great deal: a monk’s unarmed damage is only really functional against human sized, human-weight opponents. It recognizes the limitations of the human body, thus preventing monks from becoming wholly supernatural beings as they are in Pathfinder. Unfortunately, the way this limitation is notated is awful. Listing a max height and weight in the first place is too much work for the GM. I much prefer the kind of size categories seen in Pathfinder. And then, on top of that, to have the max height and weight increase incrementally at each level, two inches by two inches, is just obscene in my humble opinion. What is the difference between a 6’6″ humanoid and a 6’8″ humanoid?</p> <p>I do quite like that undead who cause negative effects by touching their foes will inflict that effect on a monk who punches them. Gary seems to have envisioned the monk as a very interesting, but still grounded class. Using your fists as weapons has advantages, but there’s no attempt to make a monk’s fists as effective as a sword could be in the name of balance.</p> <p><strong>Actions During Combat And Similar Time-Important Situations:</strong> There’s a lot that I dislike about this section. I can understand and enjoy a game where the GM curtails excessive strategist by having events move forward around the players. <a href="http://untimately.blogspot.com/" data-versionurl="https://www.paperspencils.com/amber/cache/5831177f7d6c26f68b2c8cf50e5a8a60/" data-versiondate="2021-10-29T19:24:39+00:00" data-amber-behavior="">Brendan</a> frequently does this in <a href="http://untimately.blogspot.com/search/label/Pahvelorn">our weekly OD&D game</a>, and it keeps us from getting off track. It also adds a sense that the game is happening in real time, which is fun. Here, though, Gygax seems to recommend penalizing even slight hesitations on the player’s part. As a player, I try not to waste anyone’s time. But sometimes I need a moment to decide what I want to do on my turn, and I’d prefer not to be pressured into acting immediately.</p> <p>But really, that’s just a nitpick compared to this passage:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>In a similar vein, some players will state that they are going to do several actions, which, if allowed, would be likely to occupy their time for many rounds. For example: “I’ll hurl oil at the monster, ignite it, drink my potion of invisibility, sneak up behind it, and then stab it in the back!” How ambitious indeed. Where is the oil? In a pouch, of course, so that will take at least 1, possibly 2 segments to locate and hurl. If the potion is in the character’s back pack, 3 or 4 segments will be taken up just finding it, and another 1 segment will be required to consume its contents. (See Drinking Potions.) Now comes the tricky part, sneaking up. Assuming that the potion has taken effect, and that our dauntless character has managed to transfer his or her weapon back to his or her hand (for certainly all the other activity required the character to at least put the weapon in the off hand), he or she is now ready to creep around the fringe of the combat and steal up behind the foe to smite it in the back. If the space is not too crowded (remember, his or her friends can’t see the invisible character either) and the monster not too far away, the time should only amount to about a round or so. Therefore, the character’s actions will fill something over two complete rounds.</p><p>As DM, simply note these actions, and begin them accordingly. Then, when the player starts to give instructions about additional activity, simply remind him or her that he or she is already engaged in the former course, and that you will tell him or her when that is finished and new instructions are in order.”</p></blockquote> <p>No. I’m sorry, Gary. I love you, but that’s dickish GMing. To simplify the advice being given here: sometimes players will not understand the limitations of an action. If that happens, act as though they can do what they said they want to do, then pull the rug out from under them on their next turn.</p> <p>Perhaps I’m misunderstanding what is being prescribed here. Maybe all Gary is saying is that the GM should be prepared to enact a player’s plans over the course of multiple rounds. If that’s the case, it’s a little bit odd, but whatever. Perhaps I don’t have a sufficient understanding of how combat works in AD&D. But this just doesn’t come off as good advice to me.</p> <p><strong>Example of Melee</strong>: For some reason, this is way more interesting to follow than any of the play examples I’ve read in modern books. Go figure.</p> <p><strong>Non-Lethal and Weaponless Combat Procedures:</strong> I like the idea that attacking players and defending players each get to roll a secret die, and then choose whether they’d like to apply it as a bonus/penalty to the “to hit” roll, or if they’d like to apply it as a bonus/penalty to the “damage” roll. That makes good sense to me as part of brawling combat. When somebody is kicking you in the balls, you can either bring your leg up to block it, or you can cup your hands over your balls and hope for the best.</p> <p>Though, may I just say, this is more complicated as the grappling system in D&D 3rd edition. That system got a lot of grief, and rightfully so, for being obtuse and difficult to remember. But There are nearly two full pages about grappling here.

That’s why she applied to the wizard’s academy in the first place. She thought  if she could control the fabric of the universe, everything else would be child’s play. She never anticipated quite how many long hours and sleepless nights were required to master even the most basic cantrips. To Melina’s credit, she wasn’t stupid. She managed to avoid much of the work expected of her for a time, skirting along at the bottom of her class. That couldn’t last forever, though, and before she’d finished her second year at the academy, she was expelled. She cursed the wizard’s college for spurning her, accusing the ruling council of elitism and bias against their slower-learning students.</p> <p>One of the wizards of the college, an archmage named Edilon, felt sympathy for her. He’d seen her potential, and had felt for some time that the academy’s headmasters were becoming too elitist–though he could not know then that her claim was a selfish one born of humiliation, rather than a reasoned critique. Edilon took his leave of the academy, and went to the young wizard. He offered to tutor her in the mystic arts, and without any better options before her, Melina readily agreed. Over the years they spent together, Edilon showed remarkable patience, and for her part Melina put forth a greater effort than she had in the past. Though she never accepted any responsibility for her expulsion from the wizard’s college, she none the less realized that Edilon was her last chance to learn the mystic arts.</p> <p>But Melina never tried to change her own nature. She was an immature girl who could not recognize her own flaws, and found no great joy in the study of magic. Though she applied herself, her resolve in this matter was finite. Over time, Edilon came to understand that his pupil’s talent would never be able to compensate for her lack of drive. Still, he pushed her, hoping he could draw a passion for study out of her. His patience only came to an end when he discovered Melina attempting to deceive him. For months the two had worked, trying to teach her a somewhat complicated spellcasting technique. She became frustrated with the time spent on the subject, and attempted to fool her teacher by hiding a wand up her sleeve so she could cast the spell more easily. Furious, and disappointed, Edilon rescinded his offer of tutelage, and cast her out of his tower. As she indignantly stormed away, Melina convinced herself that the old man had wanted her to fail, and so put a problem before her which was too difficult for her to solve.</p> <p>With nowhere to go, she traveled south from the city to settle in one of the smaller villagers. There the moderate magic she possessed would be prized and feared.</p> <p>Melina tried to settle in several communities, and they were always happy to have her for a short while. As she had predicted, the villagers were eager to make use of even her limited magical abilities. But it never took long before she found herself unwelcome. Her brash demeanor and privileged attitudes did not engender friendship among the townspeople, and her increasingly exorbitant demands eventually always led to the town asking her to leave. And in the next town, she’d tell stories of the how the last village she’d visited did not appreciate her, and how it was filled with rubes too frightened of a little magic to realize what a benefit she could have been.</p> <p>It only took a few years for Melina to run out of towns to live in. On the furthest reaches of civilization, she was surrounded by woodspeople and hunters. Gruff folk uninterested in her petty conceits about her own importance, but willing to let her live among them so long as she didn’t bother anyone. The once proud mage set herself up as an apothecary, dispensing herbs and elixirs to the townsfolk, and adventurers who passed through the area.</p> <p>More than once, Melina tried to join those adventuring parties. Each time she’d board up her shop and brag about the riches she would find, but she’d always be back soon enough. She’d say the party had tried to rob her, or that they’d been incompetent, or didn’t know how to stand away from the spell she was casting. Occasionally she wouldn’t say anything about why she’d left, which was fine, because nobody really cared anyway. She soon gave up on adventuring as well, resigning herself to a life peddling cures for rashes and bald spots. It’s not the easy life she wanted, but it’s the one she got. Sometimes she waxes poetical about how the world has wronged her and how her potential isn’t being realized, but the words are beginning to sound hollow even to her.</p> <p><strong>Melina Ayvon (CR 1)</strong><br>XP: 400<br>Female Human Wizard 2<br>CN humanoid<br><strong>Init</strong> +2; <strong>Senses</strong> Perception -1</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <p style="text-align:center">Defenses</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <p><strong>AC</strong> 13, Flat Footed 10, Touch 13 [10 + Dex(2) ]<br><strong>hp</strong> 10 (2d6 +4)<br><strong>Fort</strong> +2 <strong>Ref</strong> +2 <strong>Will</strong> +2</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <p style="text-align:center">Offense</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <p><strong>Speed</strong> 30ft<br><strong>Wizard Spells Prepared</strong> (CL 2nd; Concentration + 5)(+1 Conjuration DCs)<br>1st–<em> Mount, Summon Monster I, Unseen Servant</em><br>0 (at will)– <em>Light, Touch of Fatigue, Mage Hand, Mending</em><br><strong>Wizard Spellbook</strong> Melina’s spellbook doesn’t contain anything more than what is shown here.

I’m a second-rate blogger who writes about tabletop games; The Divine Comedy is one of the greatest classics of medieval European literature. It stands beside such epic poems as the Aeneid, or the Odessey and is no less remarkable than those masterworks. Even Dante’s own arrogance in proclaiming that his work stands next to Virgil and Homer’s does not diminish his achievement. It’s not pompous if you can back it up.</p> <p>But I was recently asked not once, but three times by three different people, to write about the books which inspire me as a GM. As <a href="http://untimately.blogspot.com/" data-versionurl="https://www.paperspencils.com/amber/cache/5831177f7d6c26f68b2c8cf50e5a8a60/" data-versiondate="2021-10-29T19:24:39+00:00" data-amber-behavior="">Brendan</a> put it, my personal “Appendix N.” I’ve written extensively about the video games I am inspired by, such as the old Zelda, Dragon Warrior, and Final Fantasy games. If I’m being honest, this is probably because video games have had a more profound impact on my life than books have. I tend to read slowly, and I’m not as widely read as I feel I ought to be. I <em>can</em> fit in with the lit nerds when I want to. They accept me as one of them, but I have to say “Ya know, I haven’t actually read <em>that</em> one yet!” a lot.</p> <p>But the Divine Comedy, and <em>Inferno</em> specifically? I’ve read the shit out of that. It has been a never ending font of inspiration to me since I first picked it up for a medieval literature class back in 2008*†. Dante’s description of Hell represents the most vicious and memorably fantasy I’ve ever experienced. And one which is remarkably simple to read for a piece written 695 years ago. Though, if you’re not an expert on 14th century Florentine politics, it helps to have a version with copious footnotes.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1952" height="2447" data-attachment-id="11795" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/apendix-n-the-divine-comedy/dvinfernohomerclassicpoets_m/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?fit=1952%2C2447&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1952,2447" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?fit=239%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?fit=817%2C1024&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?fit=817%2C1024" alt="" class="wp-image-11795" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?w=1952&ssl=1 1952w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?resize=239%2C300&ssl=1 239w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?resize=768%2C963&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?resize=817%2C1024&ssl=1 817w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?resize=863%2C1082&ssl=1 863w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?resize=86%2C108&ssl=1 86w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/DVinfernoHomerClassicPoets_m.jpg?w=1726&ssl=1 1726w" sizes="(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px" /></figure></div> <p>As most everyone knows, the story gave us our now-commonplace vision of a hell. It shows us a land of descending circles where punishments are ironically tailored to progressively more grievous  sins. Dante himself is the story’s protagonist, who becomes lost while on a stroll, and finds himself on a road which can only lead through hell itself. He is accompanied on his journey by his literary forebear Virgil. There’s a hilariously self-indulgent scene where Virgil introduces Dante to the other great poets of history, and they accept him as one of them. Seriously. The bulk of the story is a collection of interviews as Dante meets hell’s sufferers, and speaks with them about their punishments. Some are figures from Greco-Roman mythology, while others are Dante’s personal enemies, or those of his family. A few are even friends Dante, and there are numerous popes found in hell’s lowest reaches, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Boniface_VIII" data-versionurl="https://www.paperspencils.com/amber/cache/9393952b4847a1cc81031505faa4fb93/" data-versiondate="2021-10-30T13:44:58+00:00" data-amber-behavior="">one who was still alive at the time</a>.</p> <p>I don’t really care for the book’s morality, but that’s hardly surprising. I’m an atheist who grew up in a catholic household and made a conscious decisions to reject that system of beliefs. I think it’s pretty disgusting to assert that suicides, sodomites, and simonists need to be punished for all eternity. But I also believe that history ought to be judged within context. And just because I’m an atheist, doesn’t mean I feel the need to cut myself off from thousands of years of human art and culture, simply because it was inspired by philosophies I believe to be flawed. The forest of the suicides is one of the most beautifully haunting places I’ve ever seen in fiction. So much so that it featured predominantly in <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/abyssal-rambling/">a game where my players chose to travel to the Abyss</a>. (Though I did edit the purpose for the tree’s existence).</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="773" data-attachment-id="11796" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/apendix-n-the-divine-comedy/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o.jpg?fit=600%2C773&ssl=1" data-orig-size="600,773" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="6241705140_6755c44e6b_o" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o.jpg?fit=233%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o.jpg?fit=600%2C773&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o.jpg?resize=600%2C773" alt="" class="wp-image-11796" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o.jpg?w=600&ssl=1 600w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o.jpg?resize=233%2C300&ssl=1 233w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/6241705140_6755c44e6b_o.jpg?resize=84%2C108&ssl=1 84w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p>I think part of what makes the poem such a perfect source for inspiration is its breakneck pace. The plot is just a vehicle for describing the various environments and torments of hell. First Dante encounters “the Neutrals,” who were too cowardly to choose between good or evil in their lives. He describes them almost like zombies, “the woeful people who have lost the good of the intellect.” But Dante has barely finished speaking of them when Virgil ushers him forward.</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>He replied: ‘I will tell thee in a few words. They have no hope of death, and so abject is their blind life that they are envious of every other lot. The world suffers no report of them to live. Pity and justice despise them. Let us not talk of them; but look thou and pass.’</p><p>And I looked and saw a whirling banner which ran so fast that it seemed as if it could never make a stand, and behind it came so long a train of people that I should never have believed death had undone so many. After I recognized some of them I knew the shade of him who from cowardice made the great refusal, and at once and with certainty I perceived that this was the worthless crew that is hateful to God and to His enemies. Those wretches, who were never alive, were naked and sorely stung by hornets and wasps that were there; these made their faces stream with blood, which mingled with their tears and was gathered at their feet by loathsome worms.</p><p>And then, directing my sight farther on…”</p></blockquote> <p>That’s it. Dante glances over to see an impossibly huge group of people running along the shore chasing a banner (which, as I understand, represents self interest) and being tormented by hornets, wasps, and worms. Then he glances back to the path ahead of him, and moves on to the next terrifying sight. (Which, in this case, is actually just some people waiting by the shore, but you get the point).</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="554" height="715" data-attachment-id="11797" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/apendix-n-the-divine-comedy/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante.jpg?fit=554%2C715&ssl=1" data-orig-size="554,715" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante.jpg?fit=232%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante.jpg?fit=554%2C715&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante.jpg?resize=554%2C715" alt="" class="wp-image-11797" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante.jpg?w=554&ssl=1 554w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante.jpg?resize=232%2C300&ssl=1 232w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/nb_pinacoteca_dore_divine_comedy_inferno_10_farinata_degli_uberti_addresses_dante.jpg?resize=84%2C108&ssl=1 84w" sizes="(max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p>I highly, <em>highly</em> recommend this book to anyone looking for hellish inspiration.

It’s a little strange for me, since most of my relationships in the past have been with older women. And though the difference in our numerical ages is small, it sometimes feels as if those few years belie a massive generational gap. Particularly with regards to vidya games. My first  console was an NES, while her was an <em>N64</em>, how does that even happen? The poor whippersnap missed the greatest era of gaming: the one <em>I</em> grew up with! I often become frustrated when I make a funny reference, only to realize she probably never used the Konami code, or blew dust out of a cartridge, or heard of games like <em>Doki Doki Panic!</em></p> <p>So what in Oerth does this have to do with tabletop RPGs? I’m getting to that. Be patient, geeze.</p> <p>Recently, because my ladyfriend is pretty cool, she asked me to recommend an oldschool game. Probably because she was impressed by all those cool jokes she’s too young to laugh at. I considered carefully which game would be a good introduction for her, and unsurprisingly settled on my favorite of all time; The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. That game has had a defining impact on my life. It shaped my views on fantasy settings, and informed my opinions about what it means for a game to be ‘good.’ It’s the first game I ever wholeheartedly fell in love with, and that love is part of what originally led me to pursue writing. Hells, the “L” in my monicker stands for “Link,” and I’ve been known by that name for almost half my life. Even ignoring all of the personal value the game has for me, it’s still one of the most polished, well-designed games I’ve ever encountered. And since my ladyfriend is already a fan of the later Zelda titles, it’s about time she was introduced to a proper dark-haired link, rather than the boyband reject seen in more recent games.</p> <p>Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I think the game is best when played on the Super Nintendo, with that fantastic controller. But before I set her up with the cartridge, I thought I should take a look at it. The last few times I played through LttP I was either using a game boy, or an emulator. Because of that, my SNES copy hadn’t been used in a few years, and I remember experiencing some audio glitches the last time I played it. Plus, with the game being over 20 years old, I worried that the battery wouldn’t be able to hold a save any longer. So I drew the cartridge from its shelf, gently cleaned the connectors with alcohol, nestled it into the console’s bosom, and flipped the big purple power switch up with a satisfying “clack.*”</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="166" height="338" data-attachment-id="11800" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/system-in-progress-lozas/as_link_in_sisters_room/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/as_link_in_sisters_room.jpg?fit=166%2C338&ssl=1" data-orig-size="166,338" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="as_link_in_sisters_room" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/as_link_in_sisters_room.jpg?fit=147%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/as_link_in_sisters_room.jpg?fit=166%2C338&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/as_link_in_sisters_room.jpg?resize=166%2C338" alt="" class="wp-image-11800" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/as_link_in_sisters_room.jpg?w=166&ssl=1 166w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/as_link_in_sisters_room.jpg?resize=147%2C300&ssl=1 147w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/as_link_in_sisters_room.jpg?resize=53%2C108&ssl=1 53w" sizes="(max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px" data-recalc-dims="1" /><figcaption>Yes.

I’m on the second-to-last dungeon in the game and having the time of my life. But again, what does this have to do with tabletop RPGs?</p> <p>Well, one evening after I’d been playing, I was in bed with a notepad. I began to lazily jot down notes for a Zelda tabletop RPG rooted in the spirit of the pre-Ocarina of Time games. Those random notes quickly evolved into a project which I’ve dubbed the Legend of Zelda Adventure System, or LOZAS for short. It’s what I’ve been blathering on about for the past week. I originally didn’t want to be open about the source material I was working with, in part because I didn’t want to feel obligated to finish it. But it’s become clear to me that I want to take this seriously, so there’s no point in being subtle any longer. Though I don’t know if it actually counts as subtle, since I’ve been tweeting about ‘my zelda system’ every 15 minutes.</p> <p>I confess, I feel more than a little arrogant announcing that I’m trying to adapt one of the most celebrated games of all time to tabletop. Who the fuck am I? I’m an untested, aspiring game designer. To be perfectly frank, I don’t think I’m up to the task. Oh, I’ll do my best, and I’ll finish the game, and maybe some people will like it. But this is just a goofy little project I started working on for my own amusement. When I do eventually finish LOZAS, it will be the first game I’ve ever designed from the ground up. And like any ‘first,’ it’s probably going to be terrible. But it will be a labor of love, and I can only hope that will help mask some of my inexperience.</p> <p>So now that I’ve wasted 786 words telling you what the project is and how I came to work on it, why don’t I share a little bit about how the game is shaping up and what my goals are? That way future posts referencing the LOZAS system can at least have some context. While my list of goals is extensive, each one descends from this single goal:</p> <p>Recreate the style and ‘feel’ of A Link to the Past in a tabletop environment, without forcibly including elements which are not well suited to tabletop play.</p> <p>Given that, the question becomes: what <em>is </em> the style and feel of LttP? Exploring that question has been an ongoing process as I work on the game, but I do have my thoughts:</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="500" height="734" data-attachment-id="11801" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/system-in-progress-lozas/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon.jpg?fit=500%2C734&ssl=1" data-orig-size="500,734" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="290212-z3_link_in_dungeon" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon.jpg?fit=204%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon.jpg?fit=500%2C734&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon.jpg?resize=500%2C734" alt="" class="wp-image-11801" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon.jpg?w=500&ssl=1 500w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon.jpg?resize=204%2C300&ssl=1 204w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290212-z3_link_in_dungeon.jpg?resize=74%2C108&ssl=1 74w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p><strong>Dungeons</strong> Zelda games are about dungeons. Even though every game in the series has lots for the player to do outside of dungeons, the underworld is where the real meat of the game can be found. It’s where the player encounters the most varied enemies, finds the most interesting treasure, fights bosses, and achieves the most important quest-progressing goals. As such, the game will be geared towards exploring dungeons. Hyrule is an ancient land, where many forgotten kingdoms have made their home. It is riddled with dozens, hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of underworld citadels just waiting to be explored by heroes.</p> <p>While dungeons can vary wildly, most dungeons will contain the following elements:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Lots of monsters.</li><li>Lots of traps.</li><li>Lots of treasure.</li><li>A wondrous item (discussed further below).</li><li>A heart container (discussed further below).</li><li>A Great Monster.</li></ul> <p>Great Monsters are special creatures within this world. In game terms, you would call them bosses. However, within the setting, they are monsters who have acquired an immense amount of power. They did this either by defeating their fellow monsters and rising to the top of the food chain, or by forging an alliance with a great evil being. Upon defeating a great monster, all the heroes who were involved in the combat gain a level. Defeating great monsters is the <em>only</em> way to advance in level in this game. There are no experience points.</p> <p><strong>Characters</strong> There are two big things about A Link to the Past which do not translate well to a tabletop environment. First, not every adventure can be set in motion by Zelda being kidnapped. Second, not every player can be Link. The former problem is up to the GM to solve, but I hope to give GMs a useful toolbox with my methods for creating dungeons and great monsters. The latter problem, however, is all on me.</p> <p>Long story short, I’ve determined that the game will use only three classes. The Adventurer is the closest of the three to what Link would be. It’s a class with respectable fighting skills, but which focuses on special abilities. An adventurer can leap across long gaps, climb walls quickly, move without making any sound, etc. Soldiers focus purely on physical combat, and receive bonuses to their attack, damage, critical range, armor class, and battle maneuver score as they increase in level. Sages are the mystics of the game, and probably the class I currently find most interesting. At each level, the sage can permanently add one more spell to its repertoire. I’m doing my best to balance the spells at about the same power level, so that there will be no need for multiple “spell levels.” Each time a spell is cast, the sage must roll an ability check. They are currently allowed to fail the check a number of times per day equal to their level, after which they must rest before they can cast again. Though I worry this may become tedious at higher levels, even with a current max level of 10.</p> <p><strong>Numerical Simplicity</strong> There aren’t many bonuses or penalties in a Zelda game. Sure you might get an upgraded sword or new armor now and again, but the rest of your equipment provides a unique function rather than improving the effect of a function which already exists. So far, the only bonuses and penalties which currently exist in the game are either determined at character creation, or by a character’s class as they level up. The game will employ an maximum AC, and even at high levels health will likely be pretty low for most creatures. So including a lot of +1 items would just make the game messy. Instead, the game should be filled with items like a magic grappling hook which always finds something to latch onto, or a magic glove which lets you see through any wall you touch.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="550" height="427" data-attachment-id="11802" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/system-in-progress-lozas/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance.jpg?fit=550%2C427&ssl=1" data-orig-size="550,427" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance.jpg?fit=300%2C233&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance.jpg?fit=550%2C427&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance.jpg?resize=550%2C427" alt="" class="wp-image-11802" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance.jpg?w=550&ssl=1 550w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance.jpg?resize=300%2C233&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/290211-z3_link_dungeon_entrance.jpg?resize=139%2C108&ssl=1 139w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p><strong>Heart Containers</strong> One of the staples of every Zelda game is heart containers. The player begins the game with 3 life. By defeating bosses, the player can gain heart containers which increase that life by 1. Minor as it may seem, I think this is a great idea to use in the game. A sword to the chest kills a great knight just as surely as it would kill a peasant. However, by delving into dungeons, adventurers can find magic items which absorb into their body, allowing them to survive wounds which would kill most people.</p> <p>Those are some of the larger ideas which come to mind now.

After ordering <a href="http://www.autarch.co/" data-versionurl="https://www.paperspencils.com/amber/cache/7c96f58d818e4d9b5b419a7aa66da851/" data-versiondate="2021-10-30T13:41:28+00:00" data-amber-behavior="">a hardback copy of ACKS</a>, as well as <a href="http://6dollarshirts.com/t-shirts/A-Tunic-For-Heroes-p-11433.html">a kickass shirt</a>, I decided to take care of something which was long overdue. I hunted down, and purchased, a set of Zocchi dice. For the uninitiated, Zocchi dice (named for their creator, Lou Zocchi) are role playing dice which are funnier than the funny dice we’re all used to. Every tabletop gamer quickly becomes well acquainted with the standard set: d4, d6, d8, d10/d%, d12, and d20. A full set of Zocchi dice includes a d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, and a d24. Mine arrived a few days ago*, and I’m rather in love with them. I think my girlfriend is getting really frustrated by the incessant clattering of my d5, as I roll it over and over again to marvel over the way it consistently lands on its edge. It doesn’t look like it should, <em>and yet it does!</em></p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1104" height="893" data-attachment-id="11805" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/are-zocchi-dice-viable/5-sided/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?fit=1104%2C893&ssl=1" data-orig-size="1104,893" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="5-sided" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?fit=300%2C243&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?fit=863%2C698&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?fit=863%2C698" alt="" class="wp-image-11805" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?w=1104&ssl=1 1104w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?resize=300%2C243&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?resize=768%2C621&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?resize=1024%2C828&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?resize=863%2C698&ssl=1 863w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/5-sided.jpg?resize=134%2C108&ssl=1 134w" sizes="(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px" /></figure></div> <p>Long time readers may recall that <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/randomization/">I have something of an obsession with randomization</a>, so gaining access to different ranges of numbers I can randomize is exciting. I will admit that zocchi dice lack some of the beauty inherent in regular polyhedrons, but in my opinion, they make up for that lack of <em>inherent</em> beauty by being examples of the beauty which is human ingenuity. Seriously, that d5, mang. It mystifies and fascinates me. I also have a more utilitarian need for the dice, since Dungeon Crawl Classic (which I received as a birthday gift) utilizes a full range of Zocchi dice, as well as a d30 (which I also purchased). Furthermore, while fiddling with the mechanics of the RPG system I’ve been working on, I’ve concluded that part of the game will work best if a d24 is used.</p> <p>I think the last week’s worth of posts have referenced that project. I guess it’s pretty easy to tell what has inspired me to write recently. But after all of this talk, I’m going to look like a real dick if I’m not able to deliver, wont I?</p> <p>The decision to include a d24 in my game has given me pause. While I have no delusions of grandeur about my project, I do hope I’ll be able to share it someday and get feedback from others. As it stands, this will be my first full-fledged attempt at game design. It’s hard enough to get people to pay attention to a sourcebook written by an untested designer. If people need to buy a new die to play the game, will they even bother? I wonder how Gygax and Arneson felt when they created a game which required a 20 sided die way back in the ’70s.</p> <p>The relative success of DCC RPG would seem to imply that there is a market for games using non-standard dice. After all, the designers of DCC were able to get a wide release for not only one hard cover sourcebook, but a special edition as well. Given that, I have no doubt that it’ll be easier to release a game using Zocchi dice now than it would have been before. But I still wonder if I can get away with putting such a game out there, without it being completely ignored. It doesn’t help that a complete set of these dice is a pain in the ass to find.</p> <p>I put it to you, readers: would you buy Zocchi dice if a game you were interested in required them? If you aren’t willing to buy the dice, would you be willing to play the game using standard dice to model the appropriate ranges? You could always replace a d24 with a d12 and flipping a coin. (heads is normal, tails add 12 to the result).</p> <p><em>*My set, oddly, is missing the 7-sided die. Further research indicates that Game Science (Zocchi’s company) does not produce d7s using the same style or materials that they use to produce their other dice. I couldn’t figure out why this is, however, so if anyone has information I’d love to know!</em></p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="date-author"><span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/are-zocchi-dice-viable/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2012-08-19T09:45:56-07:00">August 19, 2012</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-01-24T13:53:49-08:00">January 24, 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.paperspencils.com/author/admin/">LS</a></span></span></span><span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/category/rules-discussion/single-post-discussions/" rel="category tag">Single-Post Rules Discussions</a></span><span class="tags-links">Tagged <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/dice/" rel="tag">Dice</a>, <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/product-review/" rel="tag">Product Review</a>, <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/randomization/" rel="tag">Randomization</a>, <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/theorycrafting/" rel="tag">Theorycrafting</a>. </span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/are-zocchi-dice-viable/#comments">8 Comments</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-2509" class="post-2509 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-legend-of-zelda-adventure-system category-merciless-monsters tag-merciless-monsters tag-monsters tag-theorycrafting"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/merciless-monsters-v-lozas-skeleton-and-popo/" rel="bookmark">Merciless Monsters V: LOZAS Skeleton and Popo</a></h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="541" height="360" data-attachment-id="11807" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/merciless-monsters-v-lozas-skeleton-and-popo/11550022cerianthus/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/11550022Cerianthus.jpg?fit=541%2C360&ssl=1" data-orig-size="541,360" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"11","credit":"","camera":"NIKON D100","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1081586263","copyright":"","focal_length":"28","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0.008","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="11550022Cerianthus" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/11550022Cerianthus.jpg?fit=300%2C200&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/11550022Cerianthus.jpg?fit=541%2C360&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/11550022Cerianthus.jpg?resize=541%2C360" alt="" class="wp-image-11807" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/11550022Cerianthus.jpg?w=541&ssl=1 541w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/11550022Cerianthus.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/11550022Cerianthus.jpg?resize=162%2C108&ssl=1 162w" sizes="(max-width: 541px) 100vw, 541px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p><strong>If you haven’t yet, there’s only today and tomorrow left to fill out the <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/1st-annual-papers-pencils-reader-census/">first annual Papers & Pencils survey</a>! It honestly means a lot to me, so if you enjoy the blog, and you have a couple minutes, I would really appreciate your time!<br></strong></p> <p>It’s been a long while since I made a Merciless Monsters post. <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/merciless-monsters-3-draugr/">The Draugr</a> were all the way back in March, and my only attempt since then was when I <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/merciless-monsters-4-telecanters-three-spider-terrors/">adapted Telecanter’s work</a> in April. For awhile after the Draugr, I avoided writing another MM because they took so damned long to get done. Then I had <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/dissection-of-pathfinders-monster-entries/">my big rant</a> denouncing Pathfinder’s complex methods of stat block creation. Since then I haven’t really been sure about how to approach making monsters. I figure I ought to come up with my own style of Pathfinder-compatible statblock which allows monsters to be built faster, but I haven’t gotten there yet.</p> <p>So instead, I thought it would be fun to waste everyone’s time by working out some of the monsters for my in-progress LOZAS system. Below are two of the monsters which will appear in that game, built using the current iteration of the rules. First is the Skeleton, which I’ve included to serve as a connection between the tried-and-true (skeletons in fantasy RPGs) and the new-fangled (the LOZAS system). The other creature, which I’m currently calling a Popo, is a little more unusual, and to my knowledge hasn’t appeared in a tabletop RPG before.</p> <p>None of these rules are quite pinned down yet, so these creatures may end up changing before I’m done. I’ve also added some commentary to the statblocks, to explain my reasons for making certain choices. Despite my joke above, I hope you find this enjoyable rather than annoying. <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/1st-annual-papers-pencils-reader-census/">The survey</a> isn’t over until tomorrow, but a lot of people have noted that they’d like to read more about my amateur game design.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Skeleton</h2> <p><strong>HP</strong> 8<br><strong>AC</strong> 20<br><strong>Body</strong> 10; <strong>Agility</strong> 26; <strong>Wisdom</strong> 3<br><strong>Speed</strong> 40<br><strong>Special Protection:</strong> Skeletons take no damage from piercing weapons unless it is a critical hit.<br><strong>Special Weakness</strong> None<br><strong>Attack</strong>s Claw (+5/1dmg); Throw Bone (50ft)(+8/1dmg)<br><strong>Special Moves</strong></p> <p><em>Disengage</em>: As an action, the skeleton may leap straight back 20-50ft. If there is a wall within that range, the skeleton is not harmed by colliding with it, instead gracefully sliding down the wall to land at the bottom.</p> <p><em>Stealthy:</em> A sneaking skeleton is able to move with complete silence, and hide itself within deep shadows. While sneaking, a skeleton can move at full speed. While hiding in deep shadows, it must remain still while it is being observed, or it will be revealed.</p> <p><strong>Description</strong> With magically animated joints the skeleton glides silently across the stone floors of a crypt. While the creature was once a person, all flesh and humanity have been stripped from it, leaving only a collection of bones with a fervent desire to harm the living. Skeletons are created either by powerful and evil sages, or by the sheer evil presence of a monster even more merciless than itself.</p> <p><strong>Tactics</strong> Skeletons much prefer to fight from range, breaking off spare bones from their rib cage and throwing them with deadly accuracy. If a skeleton ever ends up in melee range, it will sometimes attack with its claws, but its immediate reaction is to leap straight backward. Skeletons are not very bright creatures. They’re barely more than an automaton, with only a rudimentary understanding of friend & foe, and not much ability to think ahead. Clever players could potentially trick a skeleton into using its disengage ability to take a blind leap into lava, or some other dangerous substance.</p> <p><strong>Design Notes</strong> In this game, the the range of human ability can go as low as a score 2, and as high as a 22. Given that, the skeleton shown here has an average body score, extremely low wisdom score, and <em>supernaturally</em> high agility score. Lacking the constraints of flesh and sinew, skeletons are more flexible and fast than the world’s greatest gymnasts and runners. I’ve never liked the portrayal of skeletons as level 1 cannon fodder, possibly because of my love for the 1963 film <em>Jason and the Argonauts.</em> My hope is to make them a little more menacing in this game.</p> <p>While individual GMs are free to run the skeleton however they like, obviously, I thought it would be fun to play up the graceful aspect of the skeleton, making it a quick, stealthy foe. I particularly like the idea of skeletons being able to avoid melee range, thus allowing them to force their foes to use arrows–which they are immune to.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Popo</h2> <p><strong>HP</strong> 2<br><strong>AC</strong> 12<br><strong>Body</strong> 16; <strong>Agility</strong> 11; <strong>Wisdom</strong> 5<br><strong>Speed</strong> 30<br><strong>Special Protection:</strong> None<br><strong>Special Weakness</strong> None<br><strong>Attack</strong>s Constricting Barbs (Auto-hit on <em>entangled</em> foes/1dmg)<br><strong>Special Moves</strong></p> <p><em>Entangle:</em> If a popo enters the same space as a target, then that target becomes entangled. The target cannot move until the popo is either killed or shaken free with a successful agility check. Once entangled, a target is vulnerable to the popo’s <em>Constricting Barbs</em> attack, which does not require any attack roll.</p> <p><strong>Description</strong> ‘A multicolored mass of wriggling tentacles with no other recognizable anatomy” is the simplest way to describe the popo’s appearance. While primarily colored in shades of orange and purple, a popo’s tentacles can fall anywhere on the color spectrum. The creature uses its bright colors and wriggling movements to attract potential predators. Once it is attacked, the popo latches on tightly, extruding small barbs which allow it to draw bloody sustenance from its would-be attacker. Even the strongest or most agile creatures find it difficult to rid themselves of a popo once it has latched on.</p> <p><strong>Tactics</strong> Popos are simple creatures who live in ‘clusters’ which generally range from 4-10. Often, members of a cluster will hunt separately. But when threatened, the creatures demonstrate remarkably unity by gathering together, and moving in union. In doing so, they cover a larger surface area than a single popo would, making it more difficult for attacks to avoid getting their feet entangled.</p> <p><strong>Design Notes</strong> I’m experimenting with mechanics which have ‘absolute’ results in this game. Above, you saw how the skeleton is almost completely immune to piercing weapons (as opposed to Pathfinder, where skeletons have DR/bludgeoning). The popo is another example of a mechanic with an absolute outcome: if the popo enters the same area as a PC, that PC <em>is entangled.</em> No saving throw or chance to avoid it. The player’s best chance to avoid being entangled by a popo is to deprive the monster of the opportunity in the first place.</p> <p>You might note that all of the attacks mentioned deal a set amount of damage, rather than a dice range. At present, the game uses different rules for monsters and players in this regard. On the one hand, monsters can have any number of HP, and player weapons deal damage using a dice range. Players, on the other hand, start with only 3 HP, which can be increased one at a time by adventuring, and discovering magical items which allow them to resist wounds beyond what a normal human could sustain.</p> <p>I don’t really like that method very much, but it’s what I’m working with for now.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="date-author"><span class="posted-on">Posted on <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/merciless-monsters-v-lozas-skeleton-and-popo/" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2012-08-17T05:45:42-07:00">August 17, 2012</time><time class="updated" datetime="2019-02-13T09:23:23-08:00">February 13, 2019</time></a></span><span class="byline"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.paperspencils.com/author/admin/">LS</a></span></span></span><span class="cat-links">Posted in <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/category/rules-discussion/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system/" rel="category tag">Legend of Zelda Adventure System</a>, <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/category/usable-game-material/merciless-monsters/" rel="category tag">Merciless Monsters</a></span><span class="tags-links">Tagged <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/merciless-monsters/" rel="tag">Merciless Monsters</a>, <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/monsters/" rel="tag">Monsters</a>, <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/tag/theorycrafting/" rel="tag">Theorycrafting</a>. </span><span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/merciless-monsters-v-lozas-skeleton-and-popo/#comments">3 Comments</a></span> </footer> </article> <article id="post-2490" class="post-2490 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-single-post-discussions tag-theorycrafting"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/taking-a-look-at-called-shots/" rel="bookmark">Taking a Look at Called Shots</a></h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="271" height="400" data-attachment-id="11809" data-permalink="https://www.paperspencils.com/taking-a-look-at-called-shots/called_shot/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/called_shot.jpg?fit=271%2C400&ssl=1" data-orig-size="271,400" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="called_shot" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/called_shot.jpg?fit=203%2C300&ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/called_shot.jpg?fit=271%2C400&ssl=1" tabindex="0" role="button" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/called_shot.jpg?resize=271%2C400" alt="" class="wp-image-11809" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/called_shot.jpg?w=271&ssl=1 271w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/called_shot.jpg?resize=203%2C300&ssl=1 203w, https://i0.wp.com/www.paperspencils.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/called_shot.jpg?resize=73%2C108&ssl=1 73w" sizes="(max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px" data-recalc-dims="1" /></figure></div> <p><strong>If you haven’t yet, there’s only 4 days left to fill out the <a href="https://www.paperspencils.com/1st-annual-papers-pencils-reader-census/">first annual Papers & Pencils survey</a>!</strong></p> <p>Everyone who has played a tabletop RPG, loved the concept, and thought to themselves “Hey, I bet I could make a better system than that!” has come up with at least a few of the standard newbie ideas. These are the ideas that <em>sound</em> really good, but the trick is finding a way of putting them into practice in a tabletop environment. I was guilty of more than a few of these myself. If I ever find the notes for my Metal Gear Solid RPG, I’ll prove it to you. Many of the thoughts new players have revolve around injecting a higher level of ‘realism’ into the game, particularly with regards to combat. And while there are certainly some very good games with more realistic combat than D&D, it’s important to realize that abstraction is a gamer’s friend. Pointless realism can make an RPG about as exciting as doing your taxes.</p> <p>One idea in particular I’ve heard a few times is separating a person’s body into segments. Something like left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, torso, and head, each with their own hit points, armor class, etc. I won’t say that no game has successfully pulled this off before, because there are a lot of games I haven’t played. But, in my experience, where this idea always fails (and where most realism ideas fail) is in formulating simple mechanics. This level of realism implies a lot of complexity which can’t easily be made gameable.</p> <p>But just because it’s not easy doesn’t mean it’s impossible, right? In the system I’m currently working on, I have two design goals which are relevant here. First, the game should be simple for the GM, and extremely simple for the player. The way the it’s taking shape right now, a GM should be able to completely explain character creation to a new player within about 5 minutes, after which the actual characters should be generated in half that time. The other relevant design goal is that I want to encourage mythical battles, where players must tailor their tactics to suit the creatures they are facing.</p> <p>To that end, I’ve been thinking a lot about monsters with “weak spots.” There’s tons of literary precedent for that kind of thing. Such as Bard the Bowman firing his black arrow into the tiny area of Smaug’s belly where a single scale was missing. Or Odysseus and his crew ramming a spear into the eye of the Cyclops. I like the idea of a game where monsters are often completely immune or at least extremely resistant to standard forms of attack. A game where the players need to think: should we just attack the creature straight out, or should we attack its legs to see if we can slow it down? Pathfinder does this somewhat with DR, SR, etc., and older editions of D&D did it more so with monsters who couldn’t be hurt by weapons below a +X bonus. But I’d like to see a game where player skill could be used to overcome these difficulties, rather than simply needing better equipment.</p> <p>I flipped through a mental catalog of ideas for how this could be accomplished, and came up with a few options. The one which stood out to me the most was using a type of called shot system. You may be familiar with this concept, as it often shows up in a splat book, or house rules. At its core, the idea is that instead of making a standard attack, the player indicates they’d like to attempt hitting a particular part of their enemy, in exchange for taking a penalty on their attack roll. It’s pretty simple, and when combined with GM rulings, I think it could work well at the center of a combat system.</p> <p>So, what about a gradient of called shot difficulties which each increase AC by a certain amount, tied to the difficulty class? Using 3-5 levels of difficulty should keep things simple enough to prevent combat from being slowed at all. Additionally, if the rules can attach plenty of examples for each difficulty class, it would help GMs get a good picture of how real-world difficulty translates to mechanics, allowing them to make on-the-fly rulings without needing to consult the book. Consider, as an example:</p> <p><strong>Easy Shot</strong>, +3 AC: Arm, Leg. These are on the outside edge of a human combatant’s defenses, making them a simple target.<br><strong>Moderate Shot</strong>, +6 AC: Belly, hand, head. These are smaller areas, or they are on the inside of a human combatant’s defenses, making them somewhat more difficult to hit.<br><strong>Hard Shot</strong>, +9 AC, Finger, Eye, Mouth. These are really quite small areas, which would be difficult to hit even if the target was standing still.<br><strong>Impossible Shot</strong>, +12 AC, eyes behind a visor. These would be impossible for any standard combatant to hit. It would be a great feat of luck or skill to accomplish this.</p> <p>On a successful hit, the GM could decide based on the damage dealt relative to the creature’s total HP, what the result of the attack is. If the adventurer makes a called shot to an enemy’s sword arm, succeeds, and rolls 10 damage, the results of that could differ based on what percentage of the enemies’ total HP that 10 damage represents. For a foe with 100 hit points, 10hp is not a significant amount. It would be deducted from the enemy’s current HP normally, but would not have any additional effect. For an enemy with 50 HP, dealing 10 damage to their sword arm might give them a penalty to future attack rolls, or they might need to roll a saving throw to avoid dropping their weapon entirely. For a creature with only 11 HP, 10 damage to the arm would lop it clean off.</p> <p>Bear in mind that there should be no exact or expected result here. The common sense of the GM should be the only deciding factor for the effects of a called shot. Nor should the damage be treated as cumulative. Each called shot to a certain area should be considered separately from any previous attacks against the same area. If the player wants to worsen damage which has already been done, then they’re not aiming for the monster’s arm, they’re aiming for the wound which is <em>on</em> the arm. That’s a much smaller target, and hitting it would be at least hard, if not impossible during the jostling of combat.</p> <p>Aside from the on-the-fly rulings, monsters could have special weaknesses listed in their monster entry. A giant insect’s wings (easy shot) could take double damage from fire. Or a slime monster could be completely immune to damage unless you make the hard shot of hitting the brain which floats inside of its goo. Furthermore, creatures could have particularly strong defenses on areas which adventurers might commonly think to attack. A monster with giant eyes would probably need extra-tough eyelids that grants its eyes greater protection than the rest of it.</p> <p>It’s just a thought experiment at this point, but I’m growing fond of using called shots as a central combat mechanic. Do you have any experience with a mechanic like this which could come in handy?</p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <span class="date-author"><span class="posted-on">Posted on <a
