Pencilvillage - Advanced Event [PDF]

Zitiervorschau

Advanced Event This module replaces the 2d6 Event roll in Pencilvillage. When you would roll 2d6 for Event, instead roll d6 and add the current Round number. Look up that number in the far-left column and advance that Event. Each Event has up to three Parts–most Events have three, but a few have one or two. The first time you roll the Event, Part I happens. The second time you roll it, Part II (if present) happens, and Part III (if present) happens on the third roll. If you need to advance an event and there are no Parts remaining, re-roll until you get an Event which has remaining Parts.

For example, at the start of Round 1, you roll the Advanced Event d6 and get 4. One plus four is five, so Event 5 progresses. Since you haven’t rolled it before, Part I happens now. Tick the leftmost box in the 5 row; its effects occur. Later, at the start of Round 3, you roll the Advanced Event d6 and get 2. Three plus two is five, so Event 5 progresses again. Since you’ve rolled it once before, Part II happens now. Tick the second box in the 5 row; its effects occur. You still ignore Attack events rolled in Rounds 1–3. Do not re-roll them. Use a fresh Advanced Event table for each game to keep track of which Part you’re on. Instead of printing a new one each game, you could erase the table once you’re done and re-use it, or laminate the table and use erasable markers. Andrew
