Chapter 413: Fate - Chance

After not knowing how many times the group was wiped out, a group of people who were in high spirits waited for someone to start the next round, but Lin's eyelids were so heavy that they couldn't open them. He cheered up and said, "Hey, it's late, don't you sleep?" ”

"Hurry up, I just had a great idea."

The energetic appearance of this group of people reminds someone of the experience of staying up all night unconsciously because of games when they were young. But can I compare myself then with my current self? He didn't want to be with this group of people.

After yawning, Lin said, "I can't hold on anymore, you can change someone to preside." ”

"But we don't know the story of Candlekeep?" Jermaine, who also wanted to continue playing, said loudly as if protesting.

"It's an adventure. Those who are interested in hosting can come up with their own experiences, make some modifications, use some imagination, and let the dice decide how easy it is. What's in it? Look at the rules book, how to be a host, you can too. Or find other people who have a lot of adventures, they can do it too. And, seriously, can't you just take risks in some normal way? Help those in need, do some small tasks that can earn experience points, fight some monsters, do justice, and don't always do some small things like stealing chickens and dogs. The continent of Faren is huge, and you all play yourself to death again and again in Candle Castle, what is the point? Anyway, if you're interested, find Kaya and copy the rule book yourself and study it. ”

After saying that, someone didn't clean it up, and after pouring a mouthful of water, he directly returned to the carriage with a flashing technique.

Hosting a TRPG is not easy at all. The Dungeons & Dragons series will be selected in various backgrounds, and the idea is also because it is the closest to life in the Mazeland. Not only are the natives of the Lost Lands the easiest to understand, but it is also easy to find adventures in their respective stories that can be used as backgrounds.

In this way, you don't have to tie someone up as a 10,000-year DM. As long as other people are willing to tell a story and follow the rules book to get other people involved, anyone can be a game host.

If you choose another story setting in the wasteland category, just to explain what a mutant is and what a nuclear bomb is, I'm afraid that someone will just tell some story settings that will make people drowsy all night, and don't run the group.

It would be even worse if the Cthulhu background was because of previous experience, and letting someone know about the unspeakable existence wasn't something that only existed in storybooks for the fascination. If you provoke those things again, you won't be able to die for a few lives.

Then in the original consideration, the uncertain part is that the natives of the lost land will not accept this way of playing. However, it seems that they have a great interest in living a new life in a different way.

Not to mention the lich with the crooked crowd, she originally belonged to that camp. What about the others? A king of the elven kingdom, a young patriarch of the silverbearded dwarven clan, a famous elven sword dancer, see what good they have all done in the Candle Castle? If in reality, if you are not immersed in the pig cage and parade the streets, it must be that the local people have holes in their brains. Someone's fists are hard just to be a DM, but they are happy to do it.

However, another problem was also exposed in the process of the game. After all, this rule book is something that was rushed out of the chapter, and it is reasonable that it is not perfect. There are not enough types of dice, and some of the rules are contradictory; Especially in order to match the cognition of the mysterious land, the basic attribute is to use eight powers, which has many flaws in the design.

But...... Wake up, someone is now waking up as soon as they touch the pillow.

The next morning, I had a good night's sleep. If in normal times, both apprentices would disturb people's dreams very punctually, but today they deserted?

Climbing out of the carriage, Lin looked at the situation in the camp and was taken aback. Most of the elves have a haggard face and two panda eyes, and they are very serious...... Carved dice?

A group of people around the campfire, it seems that the participants have changed several waves, and there are several people in the DM who have taken turns. But now they are staggering, all of them look like they haven't slept for long, but they are very heavy when they sleep. Looking at that posture, it will be miserable to wake up, all kinds of soreness.

When you think about it, this seems normal. Although the rule books can be easily copied as long as there are magic stones, there is no way to do dice. So those who can play have a good time, and those who can't play are, of course, trying to find a way to make props for the game.

There are no gambling equipment such as dice, so if you take more than three bowls and guess which one has something in it, you can bet on some people to go bankrupt. Of course, the most common thing is to guess the heads and tails of the coin.

If it were the most basic hexahedral dice, it might be easier to make, but the twenty-sided dice? Even I hit the wall a few times, and finally I used magic materials directly to make a qualified dice. Can other people use carved ones directly?

Maybe the rule book is given away for free, and just selling dice is good business? The mold is cast directly with metal, and there is no need to use magic materials, and then the thickness of the paint is used to adjust the center of gravity, which should be easier to make.

But as soon as this idea arose, someone dispelled it. Just kidding, the forum has made enough money to bite your hands, and if you add some more sources of income, it doesn't mean that you will hang the word 'fat sheep' on your head again.

And this kind of TRPG gameplay, looking at the performance of the elves is popular, but it is not easy to say to people of other races. In addition, this is not magical knowledge, so it is impossible to sell it through the channels of the Magician Association, and of course it will not be protected by the association. So the gameplay is exposed, and after the rule book is launched, it's probably still difficult to make dice, and if you want to pirate, it's not difficult.

But no one has ever thought of making money from this kind of thing. Because simple rules are never the point, what is really valuable is the story world that countless creators have built together. Sometimes it's the story that catches people, and people in turn set the rules for it, making it a playable world. The extended business benefits are much greater than a mere rule book.

Of course, you can also choose to establish authority in this field, suppress all possible sprouts, and monopolize this entertainment market...... As a magician who wants to find a way home, it seems a bit unorthodox to do those things. And it's not an easy job to do.

Picking up the twenty-sided dice placed on the silver plate, Lin raised the dice to set off in the early morning sun, looking shining. Well? Feeling weird, things don't seem to be the same? Pick up the dice and roll them on the silver plate a few times, but there is no abnormal bouncing, or only a few numbers. It seems that he is just too careful.

Elsewhere, Mount Taxis, a neutral sanctuary between the Maze, the Abyss, and the Kingdom of the Gods. It was once the front line of the war between the gods of the Lost Land and the outer gods, and it was also the main battlefield of the beginning of the ancient gods and the gods, and the main battlefield of the alternation of generations.

As a result of the struggle of countless great forces here, the space here has become potholed and extremely unstable. Even the gods struggle to maintain their existence here, let alone fight.

Such a dangerous place now has a new function, that is, a place for peaceful meetings between the bigwigs of various camps.

For the gods who have fallen here will not be revived in their own kingdom; On the contrary, the god's kingdom collapsed after severing its connection with its original owner, so that the god could not die again. Even the abyss evil gods, who are known as immortal and immortal, have never appeared again since a few came here to make trouble, so everyone came here with caution.

Of course, it wasn't anyone who called for other gods or evil gods to be willing to appear in this dangerously neutral place. And today, it is quite rare to gather a large number of gods, because since last night, the kingdom of gods and the abyss have been earthquakes of all sizes. Although nothing was caused, this out-of-phase was brought to the attention of these beings.

Today, the goddess of fate, Logosani, summons the gods to Mount Taxis. He is one of the few gods whose call is answered. In addition to his always neutral stance, the concept he represents is also a 'fate' that the gods find intractable, and no one wants to oppose him.

When a golden chariot drawn by two eight-legged horses rushed into this neutral sanctuary, the gods and evil gods who had arrived trembled in their hearts. Dressed in dazzling golden armor, Apollus, the god of guardians, carried the power of wind and thunder into this unstable space. He used his powerful divine power to stabilize the space where he passed, as if the road was smooth.

The first thing Apollos saw was the fate of Lavoquido, who had been beaten by him a while ago, and scared this buddy who had always been a fool into hiding behind his old sister.

The gods gathered in groups according to their respective camps and friendships, and they were distinct from each other. Apollos rode alone in his chariot and came to the half-withered, half-cold god. In a deafening voice, He asked, "Why do you look like you're dying?" Did you do what happened yesterday? Now are you going to explain what happened? ”

Luo Ge Xianni didn't answer the face of this big boss who could anger a bunch of gods and demons just by speaking. The goddess of fate just spread out the palm of her withered half body, and in her palm was a twenty-sided die. And this is the one that someone has carefully made, and the goddess has stolen it with a piece of her own making.

As soon as the dice came out, there was another shock. This already crumbling space seems to be disintegrating at any time.

Unlike the old gods, who personified all things in nature, the new gods who have gone through the dark ages and grown up are godheads who have attained various beliefs and concepts.

Then when these concepts are shaken, it affects their existence; When faith is gone, they will die with it. As the history of civilization progresses, concepts change and beliefs shift, which is normal, but these things will have signs. When it comes to spotting signs, there are usually two options.

"Do you want our help in eradicating the root cause of this shaking concept?"

This is the practice of most of the gods, and at the same time the so-called 'old-fashioned' school. Strangling all change, stubbornly following the old path that has always been. But Lorgotsenni shook her head. He rolled the dice, and the dice fell to the ground, bouncing several times, but they struck the gods like a giant drum and bells. As you know, this one's power has reached a new level.

Another option: absorb and expand your own concept as the times change. Although the slightest mistake is the end of the disintegration of the godhead, those who can survive it are usually stronger.

However, for the choice of fate, Klein, the mysterious lord hiding in the mist, did not think so. Turning his back on the mystery, it is true that the power is stronger, but there are also traces to follow. Good or bad, it's hard to say.
