As a group, pick where you spawned at. This will
be where you start. The Desert, the Jungle, the
Nether, the Mountains, the Ocean, the Snowy
Tundra, the Swamp, etc.
Also, pick one problem that follows your group
around or make your own: Everybody has a High
Ping, The Server is on Hardcore Mode, There’s a
Bug in the Game, or you’re On a Time Limit.
If you roll your number exactly, you have
MINECRAFT. You get a special insight into what’s
going on. Ask the GM a question and they’ll answer
honestly. You can change your action if you want, then
roll again.
Some good questions:
What are they thinking? Who’s behind this? What’s the easiest
way in? What’s the best way to take them down?
(A roll of MINECRAFT counts as a success.)
HELPING: If you want to help someone else who’s
rolling, say how you try to help and make a roll. If the
roll is a sucess, give them +1d.
