The Gaming Den

Can probably go to military level later (assuming no more insta-kills or whatever), so...Metal Bawks (the cowards the fools).

That is very annoying.

Hmmm...message Gaia?

Random encounter: Storm - A violent storm hits the ship. The storm will through your ship off course. Roll two dice. This is the number of extra days you have to add to the time your voyage will take. Also, half of the roll times ten is the percentile damage your ship takes. Roll 4, so 4 more days, ...

Magic shop 84 They seem very happy to see you. You may either buy spells or use their services to remember spells you have forgotten. Each catch of fish will buy you 10 free levels of new spells (e.g. two 4th level spells and one 2nd level spell) or twenty levels of forgotten spells. Otherwise, each...

Why would losing the codeword even matter? Presumably it'd not be used again.

Research level sounds informative, I'd suggest that.

(I might suggest not building a secret facility inside a major tourist attraction, but that's just me. Mind you, that's what the Greenbrier was.)

Also, the pyramid of Cheops being... smooth, and black; seems interesting. It was originally faced w/ limestone, so it was white. However Dark Ages looters quarried the facing, and now the pyramids are down to their supporting undermass. Oh, good point, I'd overlooked that. Somebody has taken over ...

Not bothering to roll for finding random encounters, just seeing what is found 10 Fish - You see a school of fish swimming by the ship. If you have fishing nets, you may catch a load of fish if you can get your nets reading by making a L2-SR on DEX (25-DEX). That was lucky. Rolling 5 for the saving ...

Yes, if the random encounter for fish is rolled (and you make a DEX saving throw). If trying to catch fish that way, likely to take awhile and run into other things first.

Though, time isn't a factor in the game, beyond random encounters.

The whole thing reeked of culture-blindness and, ironically, casual racism. They seemed totally oblivious to the fact that the whole black people - fried chicken meme is rooted in american cultural artefacts of the Deep South and would have no meaning in Australia. They were imposing their own read...

Two random encounters en route, rolled 2d6 for each and got: 11 Ghost pirates - You see a large ship approximately 500 yards away. It quickly nears your own ship. From the ghost ship, several spectral figures fly over to yours. They seep through the deck and emerge...with your gold! There are ten of...

Gas mask, medical kit and rope sound like they might be game losing not to have. IRL, as well, they'd make sense.

Also, visit the pyramids as long as there aren't too many tourists.

83 Your timing is anything but great. The volcano is erupting! Rocks and lava are flying everywhere so you'd better get the derst out of there! The zombies are trying their best, but that probably won't be enough. To find out the damage done to your ship by the small flaming rocks flying through the...

Rape is an horrible thing, but you can't stop it by just treating the symptoms, it's much better if women don't get raped in the first place. Increase public awareness, increase raper punishment to the point they won't take the risk. While I obviously support reducing the number of rapes, doing so ...

That seems like a good investment, seconding buying it.

Ok, so that's another door knocker (potential for terrible pair of knockers pun there) and then off to Kalstain's Palace as it's the only other place on the island. You're in luck. You were able to convince the guard who you are and what your mission was. He brings you into Kalstain's library. Kalst...

Buy coat.

Also, as it says "go with him", not "buy slaves", so possibly there's a chance of bludgeoning a slaver.

Hotel seems best.

By my maths it leaves 326 gold. As for trap items, none to speak of: Nets Each net will hold up to two catches of fish and keep them preserved. Magical clay The minute you buy the clay, it begins to transform. Roll one die: 1. It divides into two pieces. Roll twice more on this table. 2. The clay tu...

Hmmm...wonder if, while you can ask about different things, previous sections tell you what's worth asking about, rather than what you can ask about, and the wrong choices provide useless information.

The paragraph with the shop has a "&" after the number, meaning that there's a special paragraph to go to when wearing the skull. Assuming the skull is still worn: They do no recognise you as a human (or elf, dwarf, etc.) and will not deal with you. Take the skull off before they attac...

No random encounters en route. 181 You enter the port of Alscen without problem. You hire some guards to keep an eye on your ship for 25 g.p. (if you cannot afford the guards, you must leave). It is a normal city with two prominent features, Kalstain's palace and a shop with the sign 'Marton's magic...

Hmmm...Gilgamesh?

Given that we normally couldn't, it seems likely to be useful, but is exploiting a bug.

202 As your ships pulls into Freegore harbour, you feel a sharp jolt. A demon squid is attacking and destroying your ship. Some officials, citizens and wizards were able to get you onto land as your ship sank. Go to 159. Thus ends Eduard Khil's career as captain of a zombie ship. It's still possible...

Companions make adventures more interesting, even if they are bad news, so get conned out of 10 scads.

(Also, that seems an odd name for a unit of currency. Is it supposed to be some trendy futurespeak or something?)
