Every fourth turn the grind earns everyone in the party a condition. The Grind While in the adventure phase time passes in turns. Lets say a player was testing their Dungeoneering skill and climbing down to investigate a pit - a twist could mean a trap was triggered and the entire party slides down a ramp into the pit while an ancient alarm bell is struck above them. A twist, alternatively, will effect the entire party and could change the story dramatically. each of which has special rules that make adventuring more difficult for you. Condition examples include sick, exhausted, injured, hungry and thirsty, angry, afraid, dead, etc. They stack up against you and require you to recover from them or they persist. That's two successes! Twist or Condition? Failing a test means one of two things: the DM inserts a twist or gives the player what they want but they earn a condition! In other words, you can still achieve your goal but you (and anyone that helped you) earns a condition. For each dice rolled 1-2-3 is a scoundrel dice, a failure, while 4-5-6 is a success! In the example above, the player would roll 4D for his scout skill and the results could be: 2- 5 - 6 -1. an OB 2 scout test, for example, requires 2 successes to achieve your goal. Test to get what you want A test will have an obstacle number, usually abbreviated OB #, and that number represents how many successes you'll need to achieve your goal. A 4D scout skill means your throw 4 dice when testing the scouting skill. There are two main abilities and skills based upon those. There are procedures for handling missing players, delivering the prologue, end of session rewards, town business, inventory management (Is that flask on the top or bottom of your backpack?), etc. Mechanics TB is very complicated and it takes about 3 sessions or so to comfortable with the basics. Rob's campaign is sweeping and epic with broad heroic strokes, while TB is about spoiled rations, soaked torches, broken backpacks, ruined campfires, injury, sickness, character flaws, and death. You find it, it’s yours to spend, sell or keep." So that should set the tone. There’s a lot of lost loot out there for the finding. But at least it’s your life." "And if you’re lucky, smart and stubborn, you might come out on top. Cash flows out of your hands as easily as the blood from your wounds. There’s a certain freedom to it, but it’s a hard life. You’d end up little more than a slave to a wealthy noble." "So there’s naught for you but to make your own way. The temples will take you, but they have so many acolytes, they hand you kit and a holy sign and send you right out the door again: Get out there and preach the word and find something nice for the Immortals." "And if you ever entertained romantic notions of homesteading, think again.
You’re sure as hell not nobility-even if you were, your older brothers and sisters have soaked up the inheritance.
You can’t get into a guild-too many apprentices already. Or barring all that, they’re salt of the earth and till the land for the rest of us." "Your problem is that you’re none of that. Respectable people belong to guilds, the church or are born into nobility. You’re a scoundrel, a villain, a wastrel, a vagabond, a criminal, a sword-for-hire, a cutthroat. From TB 'The Life': "The Life Adventurer is a dirty word. You are not playing heroes but rather, something less than heroic. Torchbearer (TB) is like a board game without a board.
