I think I might have to actually get a copy of this sometime. Reminds me I will eventually have to port up some worldbuilding notes for my Hyborian Age campaign, someday. I think the last time I tried playing that was in 2013 or so...MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-6451550115797572162016-05-12T12:08:54.097-04:002016-05-12T12:08:54.097-04:00The four Conan solo adventures used them, I'm ...The four Conan solo adventures used them, I'm not sure if any other SJG solo adventures did or not. An example is, say, you pass a reaction check for some soldiers and get a plot word. That plot word is worth a bonus on later rolls for help or to recruit soldiers, and it opens an option or two you might not have. Or conversely it can give a penalty and close off options. Some do some of each.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-62246921427218258262016-05-12T10:32:23.450-04:002016-05-12T10:32:23.450-04:00Beyond Black River was one of my favorite Conan ya...Beyond Black River was one of my favorite Conan yarns, back when I was real into REH stuff.<br /><br />Interesting that there's a race against the clock element. My own upcoming campaign will have time of day influencing what sort of obstacles / encounters / level of readiness players can expect to encounter, but I've not yet done up reference chart for keeping track of it all.<br /><br />Those Plot Words - second time you've mentioned them now - I'm guessing the whole Conan line used it? Was that a part of GURPS or just unique to that series? What are some examples and what do they do?MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08086901374821838288noreply@blogger.com
