#D12Expeditions #Zine comes with a fantasy adventure, the Cydwen Breastplate. Lord Johur needs you to recover a family heirloom and can't do it himself, or let it be known that he paid someone to recover it. But there are other forces who want to keep the breastplate from him. d12expeditions.com
The first two pages of the Cydwen Breastplate. Setup Lord Johur is in trouble. His rule is being challenged and he needs to recover his legitimacy. To do it, he needs assistance in recovering a family heirloom, the Cydwen Breastplate, from a barrow tomb in a neighboring county. If he did it himself it would cause a diplomatic incident, so he needs someone not associated with him to recover it for him. He has called the party to retrieve it for him and will reward them handsomely (100 gold each) and they can keep what they take from the tomb. But there are those that stand in their way. The Opposition Lord Johur has political enemies that want to keep him isolated as a minor lord. They are planning on disempowering him in the King’s court and replacing him with a more agreeable cousin. They are using Chent, an agent for the opposition, and his gang to dissuade those who Lord Johur tries to hire. This should be an Easy encounter where Chent and his forces seem overwhelming but retreat immediately when threatened with force. The Bandits There is a group of bandits hiding in the woods between the party and the barrow. If they learn of the treasure, they will delay the party and attempt to retrieve it for themselves. This should be a Moderate encounter where the bandits somewhat outnumber the party. The Gnolls A troupe of Gnolls have taken up residence in the barrow and are close to unsealing the tomb. This should be a Hard encounter. The Gnolls are tough enemies and there should be 1 Gnoll for every 2 PCs. The party will have the opportunity to rest and heal before continuing. The Tomb Guardians The tomb is guarded by a Mummy and multiple Skeletons. The Mummy can be reasoned with to surrender its treasure to help its descendant. It also has items that can grant features to PCs that it uses on the party to demonstrate their features. The Mummy is tough and there should be 1 Skeleton for every PC making a Hard encounter....

In #D12Expeditions, the players roll their D12 + Skill + Stat + any applicable Expertise against Target Numbers. They can do this once to overcome a simple task. Or players can work together to overcome a more complex task. #Zinequest #Zinemonth
Difficulty Target Number The target number is set by the difficulty of the task, whether it is a task, enemy defense, or defense from enemy attack. The Game Master can tweak the Target Number to reflect event specific adjustments to difficulty, like armor, weather effects, enemy expertise, etc. Target Difficulty 5 Simple Anyone with a passing familiarity with the task can achieve it. 7 Easy Anyone trained in the task can successfully achieve it. 9 Moderate This takes some effort to achieve, but can be achieved with time and focus. 13 Hard Even with time and focus it requires a steady hand, extensive training, or luck. 15 Improbable Only those with mastery of a task can push themselves this far to hope to achieve this level of outcome. 19 Impossible This is the realm of gods and immortals. Only the highest tier characters can hope to succeed at these tasks. Complex Rolls Some tasks are not achievable by a single character using a single Roll. The Game Master offers three Stat+Skill+Expertise Rolls to complete the task. Rolls may have alternate Stat+Skill+Expertise combos to choose from. Three different characters need to complete each of the three Rolls. If there are not enough characters to make all three checks, a character can make a second check at a Hindrance. A character that has the required Skill can assist another character who is rolling, granting the rolling character an Edge on their Roll. The number of checks that succeed determines if the overall task succeeds or fails, as well as whether Perks or Complications apply. • Three Successes - succeeds with a Perk. • Two Successes - succeed at the task. • One Success - succeeds the task with a Complication. • No Successes - fails the task with a Complication.
