Rules Sketch: Fortune Rolls

If you’re walking in on the middle of the Advanced Fantasy Dungeons series, there’s an index here.

I keep referencing fortune rolls, so I thought I’d write a rule.

A fortune roll is a roll against either a target of 10 or a relevant ability score. Make a fortune roll when you need to make a determination about a situation the PCs aren’t directly involved in and don’t want to simply decide the outcome, when an outcome is uncertain but no other roll applies to the situation at hand, or to answer a question or inspire an idea for what might happen next. The GM determined advantage or disadvantage based on the situation.

This has been a part of the Advanced Fantasy Dungeon Series! Let me know your thoughts on fortune rolls, if there are questions left unanswered, whether I’ve overlooked anything glaring, or anything of the sort!

Threshold of Evil – Dungeon Regular

Dungeon Regular is a show about modules, adventures and dungeons. I’m Nova, also known as Idle Cartulary and I’m reading through Dungeon magazine, one module at a time, picking a few favourite things in that adventure module, and talking about them. On this episode I talk about Threshold of Evil, in Issue #10, March 1988! You can find my famous Bathtub Reviews at my blog, https://playfulvoid.game.blog/, you can buy my supplements for elfgames and Mothership at https://idlecartulary.itch.io/, check out my game Advanced Fantasy Dungeons at https://idlecartulary.itch.io/advanced-fantasy-dungeons and you can support Dungeon Regular on Ko-fi at https://ko-fi.com/idlecartulary.
