Spent a lazy stormy Sunday morning following the 2nd Ed.character gen and ‘See the Frontier’ guidelines with the tween girl gang. We had no character sheets, so I acted as scribe whilst the girls randomly rolled / card draw for EVERYTHING, and they drew the map as the frontier unfolded.
They rolled two hirsute dwarven fighters (Brother and sister) Both with a missing finger and gentle, caring demeanours.
A scarred human thief envious and ‘naughty’ (rather than chaotic)
and an obese (Ana rolled ‘overfed’ twice) human cleric.
Ancient swampy battlefield of Giants?! And the home base is a tavern called the ‘scoundrel’s goblet’? Super sauce😊
Looks like great fun. Where are the cards from?
World architect cards. There are great!
Hey Jason Lutes, we’ve still been playing that you get an XP on a miss, but with all the XP end of session questions, they girls have racked up a fair few! Is this still the case?
Yes, you’re still supposed to get XP on a miss. Let me know how fast leveling goes past level 2 if you get that far!
Dang. I just found your request for character sheets. I’ve been away. Too late?
By the way, in my variant, I’ve hacked the XP system so players are limited to 3 total XP at end of a session—one each for Roleplaying, Worldbuilding, and Story Development. I also hacked the XP progression tables to be nonlinear. It’s BRUTAL as you ascend (especially with undead draining XP or entire levels) but we’re in it for the long haul. Numbers shown below are not the TOTAL, but the number of XP required after leveling up to attain the next level. So, for example, after achieving level 5, you’ll need another 42 XP to reach level 6.
0 0 XP
1 10 XP
2 18 XP
3 23 XP
4 29 …
5 35
6 42
7 50
8 58
9 67
10 76

12 98
13 109

Thanks Maezar! And its never too late for charcter sheets 😉
The Holidays are over, but the girls have requested a fortnightly game, and they LOVE doing character sheets, so we can always transcribe them. The Dwarves perished unfortunately, but have been replaced by a human wizard and fighter. Yay!
