Mechanics of Playing the Game:

------------------------------

Philosophy, goals, conversations:

The hope of the Vambrace RPG is to provide a small open world contained within a single kingdom. Story events are set in motion but designed so your Game Master and the choices of players lead to any number of conclusions.

The non player characters in the game world have their plans and can be considered to execute those plans as best they can in time. Choose to help, hinder or ignore as you see fit.

The Game Master need only read through this guide and use what they think will make for the most fun.

The scale of detail is intended to be able to play the whole story in one session if desired.

The combat should be quick and plentiful but also avoidable if desired.

The social interactions are intended to be as simple as you'd like but with little details that can be used in the form of G & S.

Using NPC G(global) and S(secret):

The various non player characters provided have information about them divided into two types.

The G can be used to setup their initial relationship to the Players.

It is recommended to give the G quickly and freely.

The S is intended to be used for those situation where the Players want to dig deeper, investigate or turn the tables.

It isn't necessarily important for the players to do anything special to access the S info, but they should show some curiosity at least. You can decided to have players perform tests of Honour, Cunning or Glory to learn S info.

HNR, CNG, GLY tests:

When you want to define a task the players wish to accomplish that is difficult and uncertain of success, why not have them perform a test of one of their stats with as logical a connection as you desire.

To TEST: Roll a die (d6) and get less than or equal to your stat.

Example:

Ezlo is going to lie to someone. The GM decides a CNG test is required. Ezlo rolls a d6 and needs 3 or less to succeed because Ezlo has 3 CNG. If intimidation was required, why not a GLY test then... oops Ezlo has 0 GLY!

When using certain skills in combat, the skill effect can be applied as long as the test is passed in the same fashion as in the example above.

Combat:

Follow turn order of actions based on initiative. Let the Players go first on ties if you want.

In combat there is no grid or hex.

Characters are either considered in Melee (arms reach) or at Ranged (at a distance).

Under normal circumstances, the rules of combat dictate that you can't perform Ranged actions/attacks when already in Melee.

You have one action per combat turn. Moving counts as an action (but the Charge skill lets you move into Melee and then attack).

ATTACKS always HIT ! You do not need to roll to hit.

Any skill used in combat can basically be used each combat turn. Each skill is an action. If you want to use two skills at once like some super attack... consider having that be an advanced skill that requires a level up or an added test.

Fight to KO. The GM should decided how a fully KO group of Players is dealt with by their opponent. Even in the event of death, consider that there is a Lich about and you'd be very useful agents for the undead. Go with it and have fun. Also if the Players are prone to no mercy, maybe bring back characters later in an undead form.

*****for the Game Master****SPOILERS

<--------->

The Adventure:

<--------->

Now an intro sequence (with a full spoiler guide to the open world), followed by character creation. Only read this next part if you are going to host the adventure (GM), otherwise skip to character creation*.

You wake up to find yourself cold and muddy, you've been injured (d6 temporary physical crippling until well rested) by the so called mercenary soldiers who should be protecting this land. All that you can remember is having to run. It looks like when you did, you made it as far as the hilltop that overlooks the village you were in during the attack. Looking back you can see that right now the village is on fire, the mercenaries are gone, and you might be the only survivor(s).

1 = black eyes (you look roughed up)

2 = shallow cut across the chest (you can't lift or climb well)

3 = swollen hand (difficult to use your hands)

4 = limp (difficult for you to run)

5 = loud ringing in the ears (hard for you to hear)

6 = stutter (hard for you to speak)

What do you do?

KEY

---

H = the hilltop (overlooking the village at the start)

o = ocean

C = cliff

f = forest

r = road

(V) = village

B = beach

M = Mountain

---

Things to know about the lay of the land from the start:

- To the far north is a giant mountain range

- The "H" is the starting point - the hilltop

- The "(V)" in the south has a port

- The "(V)" in the north has a coliseum

- The castle of the king is built into the side of the mountain

------------

To discover:

------------

- The cliffs (W,E,S) all contain various outcast alchemists who will help the heroes with Special Traits (Alchemy).

- The big forest next to the mountain contains ranger outcasts who know how to cross the mountains.

- The beach to the west is occupied by friendly travelling musicians (small boats) who will transport the heroes the the south village or anywhere along the coast

- The north west forest has an old opera house inhabited by Vampires

- The south west forest has a giant dead tree filled with big spiders (and crazy loot)

- The north part of the big forest is occupied by The sleeping Lich and his skeleton army

- The south part of the big forest is occupied by magic wolves

--------------------------------------------

What the GM needs to know to tell the story:

--------------------------------------------

- Most of the people living *normal* lives in the Kingdom are Old, Young or have completed their military service(and are a little funny in the head too). Others have connections and work for the MAN; official.

- The King has gone missing and the mercenaries are trying to find him desperately. But the mercenaries don't know the was sick before he went missing.

- The King been turned into a werewolf by the Lich (who now sleeps to recharge his magic before returning to take back the castle throne).

- The actual army is off on a Campaign in another kingdom.

- The Chancellor sits on the throne reluctantly... hiding with the royal guard in the castle...3

- The sickness of the king was kept secret, only the alchemists, the chancellor and the royal guards have knowledge of this event.

- The alchemists were cast out by the chancellor for fear that they had poisoned the king.

- The alchemists can cure the king if any 3/4s of their formula is reunited and the king is found (1/4 spider venom [south cliff], 1/4 vampire bone [west cliff], 1/4 Fungoid Spore [east cliff], 1/4 Magic Wolf hair [pro-undead priest in the port city knows this]). If 4/4 parts of the formula are used, the Lich's curse can also be removed.

- The King (in big wolf form) runs around the countryside at night and sleeps in the mountains above the castle in a cave during the day.

- The rangers have lived in the forest for many years undetected, they avoid a mandatory military service.

- No ships are in the port because they are all being used by the army.

- The warriors of the colosseum are exempt from military service.

- A PC's base trait will determine their knowledge of the land:

Young (knows about the musician caravan boats to the west),

Old (knows the geography of the country by heart, and can draw a map from memory),

Outcast (knows the location of the outcast hideout in the forest),

Mercenary (knows that the attack was caused by an insanity spell, has also been in battle against vampires and a werewolf but these monsters always escape capture or death),

Lone Wanderer (knows that, at this time, there is no way to leave the Kingdom; no ships, impassable mountains)

- In the South Village there is a Church that is going to elect a new leader. Either a priest that is pro-undead or anti-undead. But which is which?

- The Church is evenly divided in clergy, each with their own agenda.

- The Port Authority is trying to find the smugglers hideout.

- The Smugglers are selling wares at super high prices (They can be persuaded to lower their prices through intimidation or other tactics).

- The Queen would probably return once the players think the campaign is at its end and engage in the final showdown (depending what has happened so far, allies, choices, etc.)
