Hi everyone! I'm making a return to the forums after many years away to let you know about a thing I've made for D&D:
A way to let your players run their own adventurer's guild!
If your players are like mine, they hoover up allies without a second thought, and I wanted there to be a fun system for sending them on their own missions, with a degree of HR but quite lightweight to resolve at the table. Well folks, such a system now exists!
The idea is to take every variable about a mission and the team you send, and reduce it all to a single D100 roll, using an online calculator to figure out what happened. Here are the links:
Here is the System Document! (https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/S1sQwCB7E)
Here is the probabilities calculator! (https://www.desmos.com/calculator/g8w6cblpxn)
Here is the Mission Bank! (https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/HJAmU0GmN)
Please let me know what you think of it, especially the missions currently in the mission bank. I think the lack of available missions is the only thing keeping me from calling this a 1.0 basically-finished thing, and I'd love to have some confidence in the direction I'm going with them at this point before hurrying to write up the rest I have in mind.
Clarity is something I'm concerned about, also. If you have any problems understanding what I mean in any part of this, please let me know!
A common feedback is that this is a bulky solution to kind of a non-problem, which I can totally empathise with! This is meant to be a deep little side-system for the party member with a taste for HR. I'm currently working on printable sheets to help these players keep track of their adventurers.
Thanks for taking a look!
