Adventurer's Guild
The Adventurer's Guild is a new take on Quests, in which players do not assume collective control over a single character, but rather create a character to their own liking, roll stats and set off to Get Shit Done in/for the world's last Adventurer's Guild. I'll post a more detailed explaination along with some examples later, but for now here's the rules.
Remember that the majority of these things have been made up on the spot and can be modified or ignored as wished.
General Idea and Chargen
- /tg/ saves the world's last Adventurer's Guild
- Pick a class and race. Anything humanoid and not overpowered's acceptable, though it has little bearing on the actual gameplay.
- Roll for Str/Dex/Int/Wis/Con/Cha, d100, arranged as desired.
- Roll under your stat to beat a check.
- Buy shit at the Guild, for the Guild or invest to improve it.
- Complete Quests to gain Renown for the Guild.
- Renown brings in higher-pay jobs and NPC Adventurers who buy shit and gather Renown for the Guild as well, making your job easier.
- You can post your own jobs on The Billboard.
- Though individuals or groups can go on actual adventure's (since, as Old McGuck said, "We're not the Knitter's Guild, after all!") the main story focus is in the Guildhall at all times.
- Boast about successfully completed Quests to others, simply because you can!
Crunch
Bartering
Bartering is the fine art of talking to people, using your glib tongue to convince them to give you a discount on what you want. Bartering checks are made with Charisma. The following list will tell you the rate of success/failure.
- Success by beating Charisma: you convince the shopkeeper to take 1 gold off the price
- Success by equalling Charisma: you talk the shopkeeper into taking 5 silver off the price
- Failure by a difference of less than 20: no effect
- Failure by a difference of 20+: pissed off shopkeeper, either the price is increased or you are kicked out of the shop
Cooking and Nourishment
Cooking
If you want to cook something, you need three things: the Recipe, the Tool and the Ingredients. All of these may vary depending on your Guildmaster and your own creativity, but some examples are shown below.

Nourishment
Nourishment keeps track of your hunger. It has six stages: Stuffed, Full, Normal, Hungry, Starving and Dead. Nourishment drops one category in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening.
- Food with a Very Low Nourishment Value does not increase Nourishment, but it does prevent it from dropping once (so, if you'd go from Starving to Dead next morning, but you eat something with a Very Low Nourishment Value, it won't drop.)
- Food with a Low Nourishment Value increases Nourishment by one.
- Food with a Medium Nourishment Value increases Nourishment by two.
- Food with a High Nourishment Value increases Nourishment by three.
- Food with a Very High Nourishment Value increases Nourishment by four.
