				Every game needs one, and this is ours!<br><br>Play nicely--this is a friendly game.&nbsp; That includes mulligans if something that sounded really cool in your head turns out to be less awesome once vocalized. <br><br>When in doubt, ask questions! I am not a Killer GM, nor an adversarial one. I do, however, sometimes answer the wrong question...so feel free to back me up if you need to.<br><br>If you have a question about the mechanics, ask it in OOC, not by PM'ing the GM! Someone else may have the same question, and putting the answer in the open means everybody is on the same page. In the same vein, I'm not likely to bombard you with private notes. (The exception to the above is likely to be the love letters...but I'll explain those when we get there.)<br><br>On occasion I will ask your character a direct question OOC.&nbsp; It'll be set aside as a Spoiler. This is a chance to invent an answer! There are no wrong ones, so long as you keep our setting and genre in mind. No skill roll is required: it's likely that your character is someone who would know this answer, even if you don't. And saying "I don't know" or "I have no opinion" is perfectly valid!<br><br>More if I think of it.<br><br>This is an OSR sandbox game. There is no overarching metaplot. We are playing to see what will happen, so have some idea of things your character will want to go out and do. There is also no plot immunity for PCs, so you may want to have a couple of backup PCs ready to go just in case the dice decide to be unfriendly.&nbsp; Happens to me often enough.<br><br>Play, as it were, ball!<br>

				&nbsp; It's pretty straightforward, Juggs.&nbsp; Very glad to hear from you.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Let's see, I think we we now have three of the four classes, and you are one of three who hadn't sent a character concept yet.&nbsp; What we're missing as a character class is a Griot--a bard.&nbsp; not necessary, though.&nbsp; There's no reason not to double up on classes, and the background you choose can let you fill different rolls.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Want to do something like the thief/rogue from D&amp;D?&nbsp; Take a sneaky background and the warrior class.&nbsp; How about a ranger or a druid?&nbsp; Take one of the more woodsy backgrounds and add Warrior or Marabout.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; Our Marabout is a very spiritualist healer, wise and learned with understanding of the ancestors.&nbsp; What if you want to play more like like the old AD&amp;D clerics inspired by the knight's templar?&nbsp; Take a warrior background and play a Marabout from the Sun Faith.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; Or maybe&nbsp; you want to do someone like the Bladesigners from the Complete Book of Elves, or the Eldritch Knight from 3.5.&nbsp; Ask M.P. about the NPC he didn't bring in.&nbsp; There's a amazons who use massive swords called Great Razor's.&nbsp; Most of the ones who actually belong to that order are Warriors, but you can have the basic training from that order, join a different character class, and become a Spear of the Dawn.&nbsp;

The actor with the highest initiative acts first, followed in order by the others. PCs win ties with NPCs. Initiative is only rolled once; after everyone has acted, it cycles back to the top.<br><br>On your turn, you may move up to 60 feet and perform an action. If you do nothing but move, you can move up to 120 feet. You can’t split your movement- you must take it all before or all after your action.

If you lack even level-0 skill in the weapon, take a -2 penalty to the roll. If your total is 20 or more, you hit the target. Roll your weapon’s damage dice and add your relevant attribute modifier to it to determine how many hit points your target loses from the blow. As your total attack bonus with a given weapon rarely changes, you should write it down.<br><br>You cannot freely move away from an enemy engaged in melee with you.

				Roll 1d20. Add your attack bonus (+1 for anyone but a Warrior. They get +2). Add your STR or DEX mod, as applicable.<br><br>As written, these rules use the old descending AC.

				Okay, I think I see the problem.<br><br>Attack Bonus does not modify damage--that's strictly for the roll to hit. So you get +2 Attack Bonus, +2 from your STR, +1 from Born With A Blade and +1 from your Skill for a total of +6 to hit. So you should have <strong>1d20+6</strong> to hit.<br><br>Your total damage for the longsword is <strong>1d8+4</strong>.&nbsp; Your STR gives you +2 and you get a +2 from Born With A Blade.
