Players: Roll The Dice
When you do something risky, roll 1d10 to find
out how it goes. Roll +1d10 if you’re prepared and
+1d10 if you’re an expert.
The GM tells you how many dice to roll, based on
your character and the situation.
Roll your dice and compare each die result to
your ​number​.
If you’re using ​War​ you want to roll ​under​ your
number.
If you’re using ​Craft​ you want to roll ​over​ your
number.
0: If none of your dice succeed​, it goes wrong.
The GM says how things get worse somehow.
1: If one die succeeds​, you barely manage it.
The GM inflicts a complication, harm or cost.
2: If two dice succeed​, you do it well.
3: If three dice succeed​, you get a critical
success! The GM tells you some extra effect you
get.
=: If you roll your number on a die​, you have
Warcraft​. You get a special insight into what’s
going on. Ask the GM a question and they’ll
answer you honestly. Some good questions:
What are they really feeling? Who’s behind this?
What should I be on the lookout for? How could I
get them to _____? What’s the best way to ____?
You can change your action if you want to, then
roll again.
Helping​ & ​Harming​: If you want to help or harm
someone else who’s rolling, say how you try to
help or harm and make a roll. If you succeed give
them +1d10 (help) or take away -1d10 (harm).
GM: Run The Game
You’re a fan of the characters. Play to find out
how they defeat the threat. Introduce the threat
by showing evidence of its recent badness.
Before a threat does something to the characters,
show signs that it’s about to happen, then ask
them what they do.​ “The Thornweaver begins
casting a spell. What do you do?” “Lydia was just
turned into a worgen by Arugal’s spell. What do
you do?”
Call for a roll when the situation is uncertain.
Don’t pre-plan outcomes--let the chips fall where
they may. Use failures to push the action forward.
The situation always changes after a roll, for good
or ill.
Ask questions and build on the answers. ​“Have
any of you encountered the Blackhand Legion
before? Where? What happened?”
