What makes an effective house rule or game hack and what, if anything, makes early D&D (say, pre-WotC D&D) hackable?</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright"><img decoding="async" width="289" height="300" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/578px-Joints_1_-_Smart-Servier-289x300.png" alt="" class="wp-image-8578" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/578px-Joints_1_-_Smart-Servier-289x300.png 289w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/578px-Joints_1_-_Smart-Servier.png 578w" sizes="(max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px" /><figcaption>Joints of the human body (<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Joints_1_--_Smart-Servier.png" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">source</a>)</figcaption></figure></div> <p>Some properties of early D&D that might contribute to this tendency include mechanical simplicity, reliance on subsystems, intuitive abstractions such as spells, classes, and monsters, avoidance of deep interrelationships between rule areas, and clear and powerful core game loops. Perversely (from the perspective of a designer, at least), some degree of roughness, inefficiency, or lack of rules clarity might also motivate house ruling. Some of the properties that contributed to hackability probably arose historically due to the gradual evolutionary nature of D&D development, but whether the properties are emergent or designed top down is irrelevant to the functional behavior.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" width="300" height="200" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/800px-Gelenke_Zeichnung01-300x200.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8579" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/800px-Gelenke_Zeichnung01-300x200.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/800px-Gelenke_Zeichnung01-768x512.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/800px-Gelenke_Zeichnung01-624x416.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/800px-Gelenke_Zeichnung01.jpg 800w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><figcaption>Ball and socket joint (<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gelenke_Zeichnung01.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">source</a>)</figcaption></figure></div> <p>Collectively, this set of properties provides what I will call articulation points, which support both deep (structural) substitution of rules subsystems and shallow (content) addition of mechanical elements. For an example of a deep articulation point, consider the XP/advancement  rules. One could swap out the treasure XP rule for something like a quest fulfillment rule. This would change the dynamics of gameplay in some ways, but would not seriously interrupt the moment to moment experience of play or the core game loop. For an example of a shallow articulation point, consider the “spell” game abstraction. One can write custom spells to replace or supplement the official spells. (Character classes are another similar shallow articulation point.)</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="286" height="300" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/IPA-euler-manners-features.svg_-286x300.png" alt="" class="wp-image-8580" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/IPA-euler-manners-features.svg_-286x300.png 286w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/IPA-euler-manners-features.svg_.png 572w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px" /><figcaption>Classification of sounds and their manners of articulation (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPA-euler-manners-features.svg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">source</a>)</figcaption></figure></div> <p>A game is <em>articulable</em> to the degree that it is robust to modification in this way, providing a strong but flexible internal structure that continues to function in an understandable manner (even if the dynamics shift) when articulated both deeply and shallowly. Early D&D, especially of the “basic” variety, is particularly articulable.</p> <p>Practically speaking, one could diagram out the various deep and shallow articulation points provided by a game to guide effective house ruling. Thus, the game provides a structural chassis, much like an automobile prior to factory finishing (or modding). Additionally, and perhaps of more collective utility, mapping out a shared understanding of an underlying chassis would provide an easy way for game designers to offer custom or campaign-based “modding kits” for games while reusing existing design and minimizing wheel reinvention.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="280" height="164" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Universal_joint.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-8581"/><figcaption>Universal joint (<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Universal_joint.gif" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">source</a>)</figcaption></figure></div> <p>Upon consideration, such a chassis ends up being a collection of <em>purposes</em> that fully instantiated rules must fulfill, rather than methods or procedures for fulfilling such purposes. As such, one can think of the chassis as factoring out the teleological structure of a game. A connected mesh of <em>whats</em> and <em>whys</em> isolated or distilled from the <em>hows</em>.</p> <p>This conceptual approach seems subtly different to me than some common previous ways of thinking about and sharing house rules. One previous approach is standardization, similar to a brand marketing or software compatibility model. One can share a new class “for” (compatible with), say, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.mythmeregames.com/en-ca/collections/swords-wizardry" target="_blank">Sword & Wizardry</a>. Or use the stat line expected for an <a href="https://necroticgnome.com/pages/about-old-school-essentials" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">Old School Essentials</a> monster. Another approach is presenting the (misleading) facade of an entirely new game that has the benefit of (maybe) standing alone more effectively (that is, requiring less tacit subcultural knowledge) but has the downside of being less obviously useful as a source of articulations to other games and creating an unwarranted veneer of incompatibility for players less familiar with the subcultural history or context.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="276" height="300" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/431px-thumbnail_crop-276x300.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8589" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/431px-thumbnail_crop-276x300.jpg 276w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/431px-thumbnail_crop.jpg 383w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px" /><figcaption>Vesalius from De Humani Corporis Fabrica (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Andreas_Vesalius,_half-length_in_profile_standing_in_front_of_a_table_dissecting_the_arm_of_a_body;_frontispiece_to_Andreas_Vesalius_%27De_humani_corporis_fabrica_libri_septem%27_MET_DP853465.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)">source</a>)</figcaption></figure></div> <p>So much for the articulability of early D&D (the chassis side of the equation). What about the house rule (mod, articulation) side of the equation? A good house rule should fit into a clear articulation point, avoid spanning too many elements within the overall chassis (as this increases overall brittleness), and should be clear about whether the modification is deep (such as replacing the XP advancement subsystem or combat initiative subsystem) or shallow (adding/replacing new classes, spells, monsters, and so forth), as mixing deep and shallow creates a player interface with many special cases that need to be remembered. Probably some other things as well that I have yet to consider.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/speculations/" rel="category tag">Speculations</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2025/01/03/articulations/" title="2:14 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2025-01-03T14:14:30-05:00">2025-01-03</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-8549" class="post-8549 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-reviews tag-dd-5e"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2024/09/04/reviewing-the-2024-dd-players-handbook/" rel="bookmark">D&D Player’s Handbook 2024</a> </h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Being an incomplete, visual review of the 2024 Player’s Handbook.</p> <p>I got a copy of this almost entirely on the strength of the new cover art:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="768" height="1024" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.19.20-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8551" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.19.20-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.19.20-225x300.jpg 225w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.19.20-624x832.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.19.20.jpg 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /></figure> <p>(This is the “alt” cover which I think is limited in some way.

It has a bit of an IP vibe (in the same way that, for example, Star Wars art needs to reflect Star Wars brand considerations), but in a broad fun way, and quality is mostly pretty good. Though, the various bard subclass images are way over the top.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-04-16.50.41.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8561"/></figure> <p>Organization seems improved too. I guess with 10 years of playtesting one would hope so!</p> <p>WotC finally ditched the race terminology. Now: species. The word “species” reads as strangely biomodern to my ears in a fantasy context, but overall the change is not unwelcome and “race” reads rather poorly too, unless you have long familiarity in the game context. I kind of wish the designers had settled on a term somewhat more reminiscent of the fantastic, such as heritage or tradition or something, but it is whatever.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.39.43-crop-1024x316.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8562"/></figure> <p>I am consistently impressed by the communication and rules-related work done by the layout and art direction. For example, consider the way the book introduces backgrounds, each with a landscape or tableau (if the typeface is too small, the backgrounds clockwise are: <em>hermit</em>, <em>noble</em>, <em>sage</em>, <em>merchant</em>):</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.39.02.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.39.02-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8554"/></a></figure> <p>Yes, using images in this way might temporarily foreclose other possibilities, but at least it pushes the baseline away from the most generic Renaissance Faire medieval stereotypes that might come to mind for many readers by default. And groups with more idiosyncratic or specific desired aesthetics can always communicate those using the standard methods.</p> <p>The illustrations even encourage creative problem solving rather than engaging the standard fight subsystems for every challenge:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.52.07.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.52.07-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8559"/></a><figcaption>An elf cleric uses the spell of daylight to bring the light of dawn to a vampire court</figcaption></figure> <p>There are a decent number of stat blocks included (basically everything that players would need stats for: companion animals, summons, etc.). This leads me to muse on the idea of a world where these stat blocks are all the monsters that exist. Plus uniques of course.</p> <p>Did the 2014 release include guns? I forget. Voices on Discord suggest perhaps, but maybe in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. This release has muskets and pistols in the equipment section.</p> <p>Overall I think the goal of the art direction they chose is to show “here are lots of fun things you can do with this game” rather than choosing a strict aesthetic or genre lane. The illustrations are consistent in style but incorporate bits of many genres; some Hammer horror, some Lovecraft, some Middle-Earth, etc., after passing each figuratively through the D&D IP style filter. For an example referencing another genre, consider this gesture toward the anime culture that influences a lot of tabletop roleplaying now while still feeling like D&D:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.49.42-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8558"/></figure> <p>I appreciate details like the little feline prosthetic:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-18.49.42_1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8557"/></figure> <p>Bouncing around a bit now, but even some old standbys such as alignment have been thoughtfully reintroduced, like this following inspiration spur for personality based on alignment, which is nice to have early on in the character creation section.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-19.21.02.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/2024-09-03-19.21.02-768x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8560"/></a></figure> <p>I have had several non-gamer friends and acquaintances bring up D&D recently with no prompting, so maybe I will end up even using the current rules for the first time in a long while.

Even Demon’s Souls, an ancestor of Dark Souls, was only released in 2009. Additionally, while it is possible Miyazaki Hidetaka was inspired by Elantris (he is an admitted appreciator of Western genre fantasy), I have no reason to believe in the reverse line of influence either. Nonetheless, the theme and style are strikingly similar, though Elantris develops the theme in an optimistic direction while Dark Souls develops the theme in a pessimistic (or at least wistful) direction.</p> <p>In the novel Elantris, about 10 years ago relative to when the story begins, a mysterious event called the Reod initiated the transformation of the previously idyllic city of Elantris, populated by silver-skinned godlike beings, to slime-choked ruins, the Elantrians becoming zombielike undying creatures consumed by unending hunger and pain, with no ability to heal even the most minor of injuries. In the past as well as the present, Elantrians were not (are not) a separate kind of creature, but rather a kind of ascendency. Humans could become Elantrians. This continued to occur even after the Reod, though in the present becoming an Elantrian is treated more like contracting the plague, and the afflicted are banished to the now ruined Elantris, which is guarded to prevent any of the fallen Elantrians from escaping.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="209" height="300" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Elantris_chinese-209x300.jpg" alt="諸神之城：伊嵐翠 (City of the Gods: Yilancui) (Elantris, Chinese title/cover)" class="wp-image-8541" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Elantris_chinese-209x300.jpg 209w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Elantris_chinese-715x1024.jpg 715w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Elantris_chinese-768x1100.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Elantris_chinese-624x894.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Elantris_chinese.jpg 886w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px" /><figcaption>諸神之城：伊嵐翠<br>(City of the Gods: Yilancui)<br>(Elantris, Chinese title/cover)</figcaption></figure></div> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>Every surface—from the walls of the buildings to the numerous cracks in the paving stones—was coated with a patina of grime.

Sadly, I was unable to locate anything about this topic, but reading several sections about XP did prompt another idea: what if the amount of XP a character could earn during an adventure excursion was inversely related to their encumbrance? That is, the less gear you carry, the more XP you can earn. There are several reasons that this might make more sense than is apparent at first glance.</p> <p>The passage that prompted my line of thought follows:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>The maximum encumbrance that a character can carry is 3,000 gold pieces worth—the choice of the gold piece as the base unit of weight measurement is certainly a wise one, given the expected course of gameplay. At any encumbrance above 1,500, characters must move at half their normal speed. This threshold is surprisingly easy for a Fighting-man to reach; an example in Men & Magic of a character with plate armor, a helmet, a shield, a flail, a dagger, a bow with a twenty-arrow quiver and a few miscellaneous sundries already wears 1,200 gold pieces worth of encumbrance, and thus can pick up only 300 more without incurring a penalty.</p><cite><em>Peterson, 2012; §3.2.2.2 Endurance and Mitigation</em></cite></blockquote> <p>The original game rules can be found in <em>Men & Magic</em>, page 15; see post image. Gold pieces are the currency of advancement if using some form of XP awarded for recovering treasure. Measuring and tracking encumbrance using such a high-resolution unit has up until now generally struck me as a particularly masochistic form of bookkeeping with few, if any, redeeming qualities. However, if encumbrance limits advancement, players can see the open “XP slots” in the unit of potential advancement. In essence, this approach puts a clear price on preparedness and, more to the point, provides an incentive for adventuring on various forms of hard mode. Conan in a loin cloth and carrying only a 50 GP-weight broadsword can earn a lot more experience than a tanked up fighter in plate dripping with armory and utility belts.</p> <p>How would this work, exactly? According to <em>Men & Magic</em>, the maximum load at half normal movement is 3000 GP. This could be the excursion XP limit. A character who sets out with no gear could earn up to 3000 XP on the excursion while a character who sets out equipped with plate armor (weight: 750 GP) and battle-axe (weight: 100 GP) could earn up to 2150 XP (3000 – 750 – 100 = 2150). Note that throughout this post I am using the term excursion to denote adventuring time between downtime (what I call haven turns in my hazard system terminology). A single game session could involve multiple excursions (going back to town and setting out again). I can see a case for other potential limits as well, perhaps also keyed to the amount of XP required for next level. A 3000 XP per excursion limit would clearly break down at mid to high levels, so how to handle the upper range of levels requires some additional thought. Perhaps this would be a rule for “basic” level play (up to level 3 or up to level 5).</p> <p>This approach could also help players pace the advance/retreat (risk/reward) cycle. One dynamic I have noticed over many years of play using treasure XP is that the ideal of matching adventurer excursion to game session (that is, ending each game session in a haven), is not realized as often as I might like. This is not the worst thing in the world, but ending in town does have some benefits. There is no need to remember exactly the circumstances of ending in the middle of action and it facilitates drop in play. The “XP potentiality” number, clearly reckoned, also would serve, I imagine, as a play goal, indicating clearly when it would make sense, at least in terms of XP reward, to retreat and bank XP.</p> <p>What prevents players from loading all their gear onto retainers in town and venturing into the unknown wearing nothing but a loincloth with full XP potential, only to gear up on the road? Well, remember that retainers, though often controlled by players for practical gameplay reasons, are still NPCs at base when it comes to particularly weighty decision points, such as morale checks. Such an exploit seems like the kind of ridiculous Vancian situation that might test the loyalty of a long suffering retainer. Many other ways around the rule, such as taking gear from enemies, seems like exactly the kind of creative and varied solution that makes gameplay interesting.</p> <p>My misgivings regarding heavy bookkeeping have not been completely erased, and some prosthetic or shorthand might still be required to make the above idea fluent in play, but writing down the game logic makes me think it might be worth giving a try.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/rules/" rel="category tag">Rules</a> and tagged <a href="https://necropraxis.com/tag/advancement/" rel="tag">advancement</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2024/06/21/xp-potential-as-inverse-encumbrance/" title="6:18 pm" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2024-06-21T18:18:02-04:00">2024-06-21</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-8491" class="post-8491 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-reviews category-words"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2023/01/16/the-blade-itself/" rel="bookmark">The Blade Itself</a> </h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright is-resized"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JanSidorykLogen.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JanSidorykLogen-241x300.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8493" width="181" height="225" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JanSidorykLogen-241x300.jpg 241w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JanSidorykLogen-768x955.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JanSidorykLogen-624x776.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/JanSidorykLogen.jpg 800w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 181px) 100vw, 181px" /></a><figcaption><a href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NxWogg">Logen Ninefingers</a> by <a href="http://artstation.com/ironeyes">Jan Sidoryk</a></figcaption></figure></div> <p>I just finished listening to the audiobook of The Blade Itself, volume one in Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law trilogy. This was my first exposure to his work. The associations I had picked up over the years was dark and gritty, so I was expecting something like Hobbesian low fantasy (Joe Abercrombie’s Twitter handle is @LordGrimdark, after all). It took me some time to warm up to the story. In fact, a few hours in I was on the verge of cutting my losses and moving on. It struck me as something like a fantasy version of The Sopranos, at least in style, Logen Ninefingers some discount bin Conan, Inquisitor Glokta a caricature of petty tyranny. Why should I care about these characters, this relatively generic fantasy world with its savage northmen and bestial humanoids? About 25% in, however, my reaction had shifted diametrically.</p> <p>It helped that the performance (narrated by Steven Pacey) was excellent, but in any case I am glad I persisted.</p> <p>In some ways, The First Law seems something like what A Song of Ice and Fire could have been had it reached its potential, in the rough subgenre of low fantasy that assumes the worst about human nature. This is probably an unfair comparison, because I did enjoy the first two books of A Song of Ice and Fire, before I lost patience with the pace of releases, and I have yet to see how The First Law concludes. But I think Abercrombie has a reputation for satisfying endings (and it is already done). We will see.</p> <p>Most important was the handling of the characters, both how Abercrombie gradually brings them together in the narrative, and how they begin to rise above their initial caricatures. Abercrombie seems like he actually cares about his main characters, even those that are unpleasant, and is disappointed and sympathetic (if not surprised) when they stumble and suffer, though he does have a tendency to revel ghoulishly in their flaws from time to time. I also found the story funny. One example of many: the chapter where Glokta first meets Logen and the wizard Bayaz—the juxtaposition between the seemingly basic honesty of everything Bayaz and company say with the totally reasonable but wrong distrust of the obviously intelligent, but rather repulsive, Glokta—is some solid writing. Pleasantly anticipating volume two.</p> <p>Over the past few years, I have been catching up with a few of the popular genre fantasy authors that I had, for whatever reason, not gotten around to reading. Among that crew is also Brandon Sanderson, of whose work I’ve now heard the first three volumes of The Stormlight Archive and the first Mistborn book. More on that at some point in the future.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/reviews/" rel="category tag">Reviews</a>, <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/words/" rel="category tag">Words</a> on <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2023/01/16/the-blade-itself/" title="9:00 am" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="2023-01-16T09:00:26-05:00">2023-01-16</time></a><span class="by-author"> by <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://necropraxis.com/author/brendan/" title="View all posts by Necropraxis" rel="author">Necropraxis</a></span></span>. </footer> </article> <article id="post-8479" class="post-8479 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-rules tag-combat"> <header class="entry-header"> <h1 class="entry-title"> <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2022/07/19/sacrifice-of-the-bulls/" rel="bookmark">Sacrifice of the Bulls</a> </h1> </header> <div class="entry-content"> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>Above the summit of Le Bonnet de l’Evêque, dentelated with scaffoldings, rose that second mountain—a mountain on a mountain—which was the Citadel La Ferrière. A lush growth of red fungi was mounting the flanks of the main tower with the terse smoothness of brocade, having already covered the foundations and buttresses, and was spreading polyp profiles over the ocher walls. That mass of fired brick, towering above the clouds in proportions whose perspective challenged visual habits, was honeycombed with tunnels, passageways, secret corridors, and chimneys all heavy with shadows. Light, as of an aquarium, a glaucous green tinted by ferns already meeting in space, tell above a vaporous mist from the high loopholes and air vents. The stairways to hell connected three main batteries with the powder magazine, the artillerymen’s chapel, the kitchens, cisterns, forges, foundry, dungeons. Every day in the middle of the parade square several bulls had their throats cut so that their blood could be added to the mortar to make the fortress impregnable. On the side facing the sea and overlooking the dizzying panorama of the Plaine, the workers were already stuccoing the rooms of the Royal Palace, the women’s quarters, the dining and billiard-rooms. To wagon axles mortised into the walls were attached the suspension bridges over which brick and stone were carried to the topmost terraces, stretching between inner and outer abysses that filled the stomachs of the builders with vertigo. … Hundreds of men worked in the bowels of that vast edifice, always under the vigilance of whip and gun, accomplishing feats previously seen only in the imagined architecture of Piranesi.

There stood the <em>Scipio</em>, the <em>Hannibal</em>, the <em>Hamilcar</em>, satin smooth, of a bronze that was almost gold in hue, together with those that had been cast after ’89, with the still unproved motto of <em>Liberté, Egalité</em>. There stood a Spanish cannon whose barrel bore the melancholy inscription <em>Fiel pero desdichado</em>; and several of larger bore and more ornate barrel, stamped with the seal of the Sun King insolently proclaiming his <em>Ultima Ratio Regum</em>.</p><cite>— Alejo Carpentier, The Kingdom of this World, pp. 66-67 in my copy</cite></blockquote> <p>To infuse a fortification (shield, cuirass, wall, gate, citadel, or other similar fortress) with the resolve and quintessence of a beast, sacrifice the beast using a ceremony of fabrication. The sacrifice must be proportional to the scale of the fortification. Prior to the completion of the ritual, the referee will indicate whether the scale of sacrifice is insufficient, uncertain, or sufficient. If the sacrifice is insufficient, and remains unbolstered, the ceremony is unsuccessful and the shaper must save to avoid curse or haunting. If the sacrifice is uncertain, the shaper must save to determine whether the sacrifice is sufficient, thus rendering the ceremony successful.</p> <p>If the ceremony is successful, the character (both strengths and weaknesses) of the beast is shared by the fortification. The fortification will not fail when facing a challenge against which the beast would be strong.</p> <p>If the infused fortification is subject to a <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2018/09/11/supernatural-magnitude/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="supernatural (opens in a new tab)">supernatural</a> challenge, there are two options. In the first option, the spirit of the beast defends against the threat in a spectacular fashion, but then departs the mortal world, leaving the fortification bereft and mundane, but standing and solid. In the second option, save versus the threat to see whether the spirit of the beast remains. On success, the spirit defends against the threat and remains. On failure, the spirit is overwhelmed, flees, the threat is unturned, and the fortification is greatly damaged, near collapse. A save is required to avoid curse or haunting. Player chooses which option to deploy.</p> <p>Saves depend upon the active underlying system chassis.

Here is one: representing the details of a broader fictional world. The fictional world might not work exactly like the world of day to day phenomenological experience that we inhabit and experience as the real world, but it nonetheless <em>makes sense</em>, loosely speaking. Sure, monsters might exist that we have never encountered and sorcerers might be able to, with long study, cast spells to open portals. But there remains the basic assumption that behind the scenes there is a living, breathing world that both shapes and constrains the shared imagination of play.</p> <p>Call these reflective rules. Rules as the physics of the imagined world. That is, the rules <em>reflect</em> the imagined campaign. In reflective rules, the cause is (conceptually) outside the formal game elements. A rule is a good rule if it produces logical and realistic outcomes, relative to the shared understanding of the campaign setting. This is a common-sense vernacular approach, and it has had a wide currency, arguably undergirding most mainstream tabletop roleplaying games from varieties of TSR D&D to Rolemaster to D&D 5E. The assumption that rules should reflect the campaign world is something like the equivalent of Literary Realism for tabletop roleplaying games. It is the equivalent of what you get most of the time if you watch a serial drama on Neflix or pick up an airport novel.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright"><a href="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BasicPageB52.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="300" src="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BasicPageB52-300x300.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-8474" srcset="https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BasicPageB52-300x300.jpg 300w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BasicPageB52-150x150.jpg 150w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BasicPageB52-768x768.jpg 768w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BasicPageB52-624x624.jpg 624w, https://necropraxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/BasicPageB52.jpg 950w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a><figcaption>Basic D&D (1981), p. B52</figcaption></figure></div> <p>Here is another function rules can have: determining the situations and details of play. Call these formative rules. The results may or may not make sense fictionally, but they are the rules, so you execute them and then interpret the outcomes as best you can. The fireball might detonate in a square. The random encounter generates a dragon one hex outside of town, three times in a row. The rules <em>form</em> the situation of play. In formative rules, the cause is (conceptually) the rules themselves and interpretation happens (if at all) subsequently. When one stocks a dungeon using the B/X procedures presented on page B52, the outcome is not really intended to model any kind of naturalistic situation. It might, but the goal is not logic or naturalism. You need monsters and treasures and traps in some rough distribution for the game to work, so the rule does that. Consider traditional spell slots. Sure, there is some very loose Vancian inspiration, but really original style D&D spells need limits of some sort to support challenges. Fire and forget is a way to do that. If one adopts the approach of assuming <a href="https://save.vs.totalpartykill.ca/microblog/dnd-is-always-right/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="D&D is always right (opens in a new tab)">D&D is always right</a>, that is in the mode of formative rules.</p> <p>The most effective formative rules are designed to generate the dynamics and situations necessary to a particular game. They create satisfying tension and result in outcomes where player decisions matter. They can provide <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="oracles (opens in a new tab)" href="http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2008/04/on-oracular-power-of-dice.html" target="_blank">oracles</a> into the imagined world. They might facilitate complex tactical contests or generate genre-appropriate thematic outcomes. Formative rules can also provide practical support for simplifying or abstracting elements of an imagined world which might be impractical to model explicitly. Additionally, the interpretation and reconciliation required by occasionally illogical results can serve as an engine of creativity. What might explain three dragon encounters in a row, so near to civilization? However, thoughtlessly designed or applied formative rules can be a straitjacket or procrustean bed, trapping players in abstract or solipsistic formalism, rewarding optimization and <a href="https://necropraxis.com/2019/01/22/no-homework/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="homework (opens in a new tab)">homework</a>.</p> <p>Does this matter, or is it just semantics, another arbitrary taxonomy to create more specialist language? It seems to me that the potential of the form, what tabletop roleplaying can uniquely provide compared to other forms of entertainment, media, and art, involves a fusion of these two modes.</p> <p>If one leans too heavily on formative rules, where players weave results into some shared narrative fabric unrelated to any ideal of living breathing world, one risks losing the richness of possibility inherent in the idea of a campaign with integrity. Pathologies of formative rules include repetitive outcomes and the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="peasant railgun (opens in a new tab)" href="https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?523335-The-Peasant-Railgun" target="_blank">peasant railgun</a>. That idea of the campaign world as external, causal source, along with some degree of shared commonsense understanding of how things work, is what enables principled and flexible rulings at the table.</p> <p>If one leans too heavily on reflective rules, where logic and verisimilitude dominate, one gets lost in minutiae unconnected to the experience of play. Pathologies of reflective rules include, in the D&D context, Shopkeepers & Spreadsheets and fixation on realistic fictional economies at a level of detail far exceeding relevance to play. The OSR etc aversion to extensive fictional histories and backstories is not just a practical norm, nor is it just a rejection of tabletop roleplaying as a thespian concern; this aversion is also a recognition that the most useful elements of setting are those that provide contact surfaces for play at the table.</p> <p>Ideally, a campaign is both internally consistent and makes sense on its own terms, broadly speaking, but simultaneously provides a stage for play with all of the concerns that entails. The reflective and formative components can feed back into each other, providing mutual enrichment. Some idiosyncratic element of a campaign setting might emerge from a seemingly illogical random stocking result (formative) later interpreted and explained in the logic of the setting, informing later concrete details and rulings experienced by players in play (reflective).</p> <hr class="wp-block-separator"/> <p>I tried real hard to avoid bogging this post down with technical jargon. However, to give credit where credit is due I will note that these ideas are related to formative and reflective constructs in the philosophy of science.

This was certainly the approach I took when, inspired by Dwimmermount session reports, I started my Vaults of Pahvelorn campaign taking only the 3 LBBs (core OD&D) as base rules chassis. This necessitated substantial interpretation and invention given the patchy disorganized nature of the game and text, but for me was more about personal creative constraint than about traditionalism for the sake of tradition or about nostalgia (I didn’t even know OD&D existed until around the time I discovered Grognardia).</p> <p>Many strands make up artistic or hobby movements and scenes, arising from the various and idiosyncratic priorities of participants, so it would be surprising if one could come up with a simple explanation or single goal that unifies a scene.

That is by no means an exhaustive catalog.</p> <p>Trying to distinguish between genuine cultural genealogy and founding myths has led to claims about the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/invention-of-tradition/B9973971357795DC86BE856F321C34B3" target="_blank">invention of tradition</a>, where someone (or a group) takes a novel idea but frames it as traditional in order to increase legitimacy. One can find many examples of this in the history of ideas. Here is one that approaches prototypicality. In ancient China, explicit innovation was not a winning rhetorical strategy. Instead:</p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>Authorship as an act of creation was a fraught notion in traditional China, since true “creation” (zuo 作) was reserved for sages.

Maybe someone could find some forum scenes that lean in this direction if one looked hard.

Broadly speaking, a prosthetic is an artifact to replace a missing body part or remediate some deficiency. Some prosthetics are useful to almost everybody sometimes (stepladder) while some remediate a common deficit (glasses) and others are highly idiosyncratic. Similarly, the tasks referees and players need help with when playing a roleplaying game are various. Some seemingly common prosthetics include procedural systems to resolve fictional violence and guidelines to come up with fictional people having inner lives with some degree of complexity (such as non-player characters). Or how to decide how much fire a wizard can conjure.</p> <p>So how does one decide what aspects of a game deserve elaboration and which can be left for the imagination of the players? What counts as <a href="https://todistantlands.blogspot.com/2022/05/fk-you-design.html">design that punts where it should run?</a> There is an essentially relativist objection to general standards for what deserves elaboration. It is hard to get beyond this subjective hurdle to make truly general recommendations without doing extensive observational research that people have not so far seemed interested in or resourced to do, especially for tabletop roleplaying games specifically.</p> <p>For example, I have a low tolerance for certain kinds of hassle in rules, so I designed a lot of my mechanics as a prosthetic for that. Who knows what proportion of players are happy to track coin weight encumbrance exactly with spreadsheets or whatever? And might even enjoy it? I suspect that proportion is lower than players for whom slot based encumbrance would be more functional, but I lack the data, and I doubt anyone has much evidence relevant to this question beyond common sense platitudes and personal anecdotes.</p> </div> <footer class="entry-meta"> This entry was posted in <a href="https://necropraxis.com/category/speculations/" rel="category
