====== Dungeon a Day ======
===== The Story =====

One night I was telling Ben about a Twitter feed [[https://twitter.com/randomdnd|Random RPG Generator]] that gives quick little RPG prompts. This is an example, ''“Just beyond your light you see a vacant pit run by crawling apes. It's written that the White Flower of All Desires was buried here."''
\\
This led to thinking about a Kickstarter for a 'dungeon a day' calendar. One quick encounter, like ones from the Random RPG Generator, a simple rule set, a simple character, and limited outcomes.\\
\\
The original plan was a page a day 1/4 page calendar with an adventure from the Random RPG Generator, a set of outcomes that are either player choices or dice decided, and an outcome. Each player would have a score sheet of some sort. Pretty early I decided it would be a single character and that DaD would include a handful of pre-generated characters. Pick one, do limited equipping, and off to the forest or where ever. Dice would be limited to 3d6, maybe 2.\\
==== Concerns ====
\\
1. "What if the character dies?"\\
Starting over from that point looks like the obvious point to resume. Along with that, action item:  <color #22b14c>Add encounters with clerics and healing potions</color>.\\
\\
2. Money. There is some debate about experience for coin or awarding experience points //or// coin. At this point, I am envisioning a game with limited money. The character will need to buy things, but should a bugbear be running around with 10 gp? <color #22b14c>Limited coin will be available. Characters can get paid and make transactions. But stealing from dead bodies is bad form.</color>\\
\\
3. In what universe? This is actually easy. Each page is its own complete adventure. There are various towns where items can be bought or sold, lodging sought, training and rest available.\\

== Outline ==
  - January 1 - Create and equip the character. The "set" should include four to six pre-generated characters. Should start in a town and have some supplies and money to make purchases. All of the characters should be around 4th level-ish. [[https://www.risusrpg.com/|Risus\\ uses ten dice divided into clichés to create a character. Interactions are decided by the player choosing the cliché and then rolling against the game master. Most clichés have a maximum of 4 dice.
  - Each month should include a town day. Towns can have different encounters. Towns should be generally good-natured. An evil town could exist.
  - Each month should include a healer/health potion encounter. It could be possible for the character to purchase a healing potion in a town.
  - Magic items should be sparse. Perhaps fewer than 15 in the entire year. This is subject to change.\\
