This isn’t exactly for FotF, but the context is very similar and wanted to get feedback or any potential mechanical issues pointed out. How does this sound? [bracketed parts are things I’m considering]

Supply

Supply is a stat that represents the entire party’s mundane supplies including rations, fuel for light, ammunition, medicinal items, and the condition of shelter and comfort items like tents and bedrolls [as well as your packs and treasure sacks].

Supply is similar to an Ability Score, ranging from 0-18, and translates to a Modifier just like an Ability. [It starts at 15 for a group of 1-2, 17 for 3-5, and 18 for 6 or more, including hirelings and pack animals].

Make a roll plus Supply when a meal, light, ammo, or healing is needed.

Complications and Consequences are determined by the GM, but might include decreasing the Supply score by some amount, time taken while cooking or repairing something, a restless night from spoiled rations or degradation of shelter, or completely running out of one of the types of resources.

[You can always decrease the Supply score by 1 to add a +1 to the roll.]

Pay Respects

When you lay to rest a heroic companion, after spending a day to prepare a burial mound or monument, or a funeral pyre or ship, each surviving character says how they honor the dead and may offer up to 1000sp times the level of the deceased in coin or valuables as grave goods to be interred or burned with the body, granting them 1 XP per 100sp.

Whether or not this counts toward the player’s Stash is up to the GM.

Jason Lutes 2e being standalone, I’m wondering what tack you’ll be taking with GM Advice. Will you mostly be replicating DW’s? Will there be unique agendas and principles with a more old-school bent?

With 2e’s additional content around settlements, I’ve been wondering what’s missing for anyone wanting to play in the True Frontier. To that end, here’s a move to make a mini-settlement where the party can make Downtime moves.

Outpost

When you spend a week building up a small outpost on the frontier, you must first Scout the area, dealing with any threats. Then, roll+nothing, +1 if you pick the +1 forward from Scout, and choosing 1 more option if you find beneficial terrain. On a 10+, choose 3, On a 7-9, choose 2, On a 6-, Don’t mark XP and choose 1.

– Circle the Wagons: You’re able to build up some defenses, the specifics depending on local resources

– Creature Comforts: Lodging counts as Modest instead of Poor for Recover

– Good Hunting: As a Downtime move, gain 4D6 rations

– Curious Visitors: You can Recruit from local inhabitants or travelers

– Placid Environs: +1 Peace for Pass Time

At the Outpost you can…

– Find enough food to sustain you without tracking Rations.

– Bank It by burying or hiding your stash to retrieve later.

– Pass Time at 0 Peace and Poor Conditions, treating settlement events as GM moves, and make Downtime Moves. After each week, everyone should Keep Company once due to the isolation.

I may soon be free on Saturdays AND Sundays. Any games starting, or need a player?

Jason Lutes, am I right in assuming Adventuring Gear is intended to not be capable of producing items that are explicitly listed in the equipment list, such as rope, or a grappling hook?
