## About
-The southernmost part of Aldenmarsh, called South Aldenmarsh, is part of the [Wastes](wastes.md). It's plataeu with only a handful of forts on it. It's also claimed by Nathnan and Lorille, but there hasn't been any armed conflict over it. The land has no value, no people living there, and all the people currently living there are from Aldenmarsh (or the wastes).

## Economy
-Aldenmarsh, through Canyonport, controls trade across the entire Magic Sea through trade agreements. Between its economic power, and position near the Lanolis River, most trade goods travelling by water on the continent pass through Canyonport, and Aldenmarsh taxes them. Aldenmarsh uses [silver currency](coins.md).

## Culture
Aldenmarsh is the cultural center of the Magic Sea. Heavy influences from the Church of Baneth. Education and virtue are instilled by free and mandatory education from Gardeners. Church service is mandatory. Outside religion is closely regulated and censured, but permitted if practitioners regularly swear oaths of faith to Baneth. Citizens care strongly about proper procedures and sophistication. Faith, virtue, reading, and gardening are considered high culture. Gardens, quality textiles, elaborate mechanical devices, or rare books might be shown as signs of wealth.

## About
Bal Moshi seceded from the much larger Traki empire under the direction of its prince 150 years ago. Traki (and so Bal Moshi, which shares its culture and society) is a cultural powerhouse--outside the magic sea region they're the kings of society and education. All first-rate poets, playwrights, historians, scholars et al are from Traki or Traki-educated (by definition--or else they won't be considered first-class).

# Baneth
God: **Baneth** "The True See-r"
## Faith
Baneth is the God of True Seeing. Mortals first met him a millineum ago, though he has not appeared in Aldenmarsh in centuries. He is an undemanding god, simply watching, and occasionally granting gifts to those whose character or actions please him. He primary demand to his followers is to see the world as it is, with open eyes; turning aside falsehood, ignorance, and simplicity. His followers frequently will offer free education, especially in basic literacy and languages, and free libraries. Faithful priests might preach. They also might pursue greater insight on their own through worldly travel, scholarly research, or spiritual ritual.
-Service is every [Light](days_of_week.md). Baneth religion involves many long speeches and elaborate rituals, as well as an emphasis on moral and social character. It plays down the role of action or prayer. His followers agree Baneth has not been seen walking the world for centuries.
+Service is every [Light](days_of_week). Baneth religion involves many long speeches and elaborate rituals, as well as an emphasis on moral and social character. It plays down the role of action or prayer. His followers agree Baneth has not been seen walking the world for centuries.
Followers of Baneth like: literacy, education, and investigation
Followers dislike: willful ignorance, boasting, and self-deception
The Church of Baneth is mostly a political institution of Aldenmarsh. Everyone in Aldenmarsh is required to be a member of the church, and attend church service every Light day. However, actual strong attachment is Baneth and prayer is neither required or common in the population--maybe 20% of the population is actually faithful.
## Church (Governmental powers)
-- Religious matters - The Church has total control over anything related to religious matters. It requires that foreign religion is always in tandem with, and below, worship of Baneth. It also prohibits [divination](divination.md) magic, heresy (which is something a religious scholar or preacher might commit), and blasphemy (worship of other gods as primary, or destruction of Church property). Deaths, and graves are religious business. Births and weddings are not.

- Council - The Church controls 4 of the 12 chairs on the counctil which runs Aldenmarsh. The Council can do anything, and also makes the laws of Aldenmarsh.
- Bureaucracy - The Church runs the civil service and bureaucracy. It regulates most permits, the purchase and sale of land, and controls the city coffers day-to-day. This is how the church makes the majority of its income, and exercises most political control.
- Steel Eye - The Church military, the Steel Eye, is the police arm of the law, especially in Canyonport. In the country, nobles may bring in criminals.
## Divine Magic
Spellcasting ability is rare, even in the priesthood--maybe 1 in 3 priests can cast 1st level spells.
-Spells are available for sale from the church. Healing and Divination spells can be [purchased](spell_sales.md) in Canyonport and other major Church locations.

## About
Bat Vadyne is the largest (arguably, only) settlement in the Wastes. It survives on a combination of sea trade and very limited agriculture. Living standards are subsistence-only.

# Character Creation
1. **Once you start rolling dice (attributes, HP, or starting GP), no takebacks**. If you don't like your rolls, tough.
1. Starting **equipment**. You can choose any of the following methods.
1. Take the suggested gear for your class and background
2. Roll for gold as given in the player's handbook.
- 3. Take the [average roll](average_gold.md) for your class as given in the player's handbook.
+ 3. Take the [average roll](average_gold) for your class as given in the player's handbook.
1. Write a **character bio**. Include
- Why your character is adventuring at all, and why they're adventuring with the party in particular. What is their goal for the next week? The next three months?
- What do they look like physically?
- Be here on a special visa that allows travel (rare, explain why)
- Be here on a normal visa. This requires you to sleep in the foreign quarter of Canyonport, effectively prohibiting leaving the city legally
- Be here illegally, but travelling freely anyway.
- - (Aldenmarsh group) Your god, and whether you attend the Church of [Baneth](baneth.md). [Aldenmarsh](aldenmarsh.md) is a theocracy with mandatory church attendance for citizens. Going to church doesn't mean you worship Baneth or even like him.

- If you are an Aldish citizen, you almost certainly go to the Church of Baneth. You might like Baneth, worship another god, or be agnostic.
- Many-to-most Aldish citizens worship Baneth
- - The allowed gods are [listed here](gods.md).
+ - The allowed gods are [listed here](gods).
- Agnostic (no god) is fine as a deliberate choice, but don't pick it as a default because you didn't look through options.
- Clerics, paladins etc can't be agnostic. If you're a cleric or paladin, talk to the DM for a little extra help with your background and how you'll be treated.
1. After your first play session, I also recommend making a backup character in case your PC dies. This doesn't have to be in roll20, but I'm happy to give you a sheet if you want one.

## About
Canyonport is a trading port with a still, deep river running through the middle of it, joining the unnaturally pure Magic Sea on one end. It is covered in plants--gardens run every street, and ornamental rooftop gardens are common. Symbols of Baneth are displayed everywhere. People on the street are friendly, but social classes rarely mingle. Canyonport is a busy trade town, and there are mechants, shops, and restaurants everywhere. Public entertainment and sermons are commonplace. The city is quiet and still soon after dusk.

Grag'hesh is the orcish homeland--all orcs on the continent come from there. It is in a state of perpetual war with one or more of its neighbors. It's essentially incapable of surviving on its own--raids and wars with neighbors are the only way the orcs can eat, either by directly stealing food, or more often pillaging and buying food. Orcish society respects soldier, raiders, and the strong.

+- See [Character Creation](build) rules for allowed classes, races, and gods.
- Mostly we're using rules as written, nothing too crazy.
- Leveling is XP-based, not milestones. The DM will track it for the group. Generally XP is awarded for achieving goals the DM or party thinks are important, and most of it will be awarded for non-combat.
- Leveling up is in-between sessions, to avoid a long interruption. You can roll your increased HP immediately for level 2 without waiting until the end of the session.
- Magic Items
- Magic items are not automatically identified after a rest. Players will need to study any found items in-game. Some will be easy to figure out, and some will be more difficult or require an Identify spell.
- We ARE allowing players to craft their own magic items, including scrolls. Ask the DM to approve the item, and whether there are any special requirements beyond silver costs.
- - In Canyonport, PCs [can buy common and some uncommon magic items](magic_items.md).
+ - In Canyonport, PCs [can buy common and some uncommon magic items](magic_items).
- Selling magic items or buying rarer magic items will be difficult--even though Canyonport is the biggest metropolis around and a trading port, magic items are just rare!

# About
Mond is a fairly large, industrialized country. It manufactures high-quality items, often at larger scales. Although it is at about the same technology level as Aldenmarsh, the technology is widespread, rather than being used only for a few large public projects or specialized goods. It is relatively mechanized--watermills and windmills may power log-cutting operations or transport minecarts.

# Aldish nobility
Aldish nobility are old and have been entrenched for hundreds of years. They are a rich elite who don't work. They have their own complex and exclusionary society, with a focus on "being cultured", education, and virtue (with of course the usual display of wealth).
**Foreign culture:** Aldenmarsh nobility see themselves as the cultural pinnacle of the world--foreign customs are only of academic interest, are are treated as gossip or trivia. Any foreign cultural influence such as foods, clothing, or customs--is loudly decried (this viewpoint is shared by commoners). Aldish nobility may participate in foreign customs while travelingto be polite, but usually with well-hidden distaste. Foreign books are fine but literary works are not met with interest.
-**Virtues:** Nobility are well-versed in the seven cultured [virtues](/aldenmarsh/days_of_week.md). Nobility may chose to pick auspicious days for parties. Aldenmarsh commoners ignore the days of the week except for Light and Family (the week-end). A noble family get-together would be on Family, while one for society as a whole would be on Loyalty to flatter invitees.

- Truth. It's virtuous to always discern the truth, and generally to tell it as well. Some nobles make a game out of telling the literal truth, even while lying. Truth is also about being educated and educating others. Nobility try not correct others flat out, but they may set up schools or set up learning opportunities for other nobility on purpose to illustrate some fault of habit. Truth is also about justice--if you're innocent, you want to have your trial on Justice.
- Charity. It's virtous to give those those less fortunate. Nobles may hand out free food, tutor others, or fund public-goods projects like road construction or ophanages.

+[za3k](/) > [games](/games/) > deadly education rpg
This a simple RPG system based on the magic system from "A Deadly Education" by Naomi Novik. You don't need to have read the book--in fact I picked it because it was a little vague and independent of the book.
-[za3k](/) > [games](/mygames.md) > doodle adventures
+[za3k](/) > [games](/games/) > doodle adventures
a relaxing drawing-book adventure for one or more players. players listen as a pre-made story is revealed, and doodle what happens.
-[za3k](/) > [games](/mygames.md) > emperical zendo
+[za3k](/) > [games](/games/) > emperical zendo
a zendo variant for 3-8 players. these rules assume you know how to play [zendo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendo_(game)), which i recommend as one of the best games available. this is basically the same as normal zendo, but you never guess the secret rule.

+[za3k](/) > [games](/games/) > faux pas
faux pas is a cooperative "hidden role" type game for 3-8 players with a twist: rolls are completely visible. in fact, everyone knows your role... EXCEPT for you.

+[za3k](/) > [games](/games/) > no, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE! (v2.1)
**No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!** is a game for 2-8 players. Half the players are Heroes (round up), and half are Villains. It's designed to be friendly for players new to storytelling games.
> *24. I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)* - Peter Ansprach, 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord

**No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!** is a game for 2-8 players. Some of the players are Heroes, and some are Villains. It's designed to be short (30 minutes) and friendly for players new to storytelling games.
-[za3k](/) > [games](/mygames.md) > logic potions
+[za3k](/) > [games](/games/) > logic potions
a logic game for 2-4 players about brewing potions. players are gradually eliminated by LOSING. the last player standing wins. how long it takes per turn depends entirely on your group. a game is not many turns. if you like zendo, mao, or nomic, you may like this game.
-[za3k](/) > [games](/mygames.md) > loot boxes v1.1
+[za3k](/) > [games](/games/) > loot boxes v1.1
A short storytelling game for 2-4 players, best with 2. Play as long as you want, 10-30 minutes. It's a good time to kill time on a long drive.
- **Variant**: Start with 5 items. Whenever you finish a challenge, throw an extra item you dislike out (each challenge you gain 1 item and lose 2). When you're out of items, the game is over.

**playtesting: none**
- If you want to grade your exam exactly (guessing is fine), each player tracks how many stars they have thrown. To keep track, tally in front of you on paper, or take a penny from a stack in the middle whenever you throw a star.
- If you wish, you can play with a time limit using a timer.

## Suggested Progression
I've designed the rules to introduce complexity gradually, based on which game number you're on. Feel free to progress faster or not at all. The rules are clearly marked based on game number throughout. If you want to quickly see where things changed for your current game:

**playtesting: none**
*Ninjas Ninjas Ninjas!* is a fast-paced storytelling game about how damn cool ninjas are, for 3 more or players (instructions are written for 3). It's designed to last 5-30 minutes--how long exactly is up to the players. New events and challenges happen rapidly, and which player is doing what shifts quickly.
-Audience: Unlike my [last two games](/mygames.html), *Ninjas Ninjas Ninjas!* is not for complete beginners to storytelling games. There is very little guidance from the rules about what story to tell or how.
+Audience: Unlike my [last two games](/games/), *Ninjas Ninjas Ninjas!* is not for complete beginners to storytelling games. There is very little guidance from the rules about what story to tell or how.
Each player controls a young journeyman ninja taking his/her/their final ninja exam. The three ninjas work together as a team to accomplish their goal. At all times one ninja is in **Front**. Front is the "player" who is actively deciding what to do, while the other ninjas throw problems and points at them.

## Playesting
-The rules are too hard to understand, and there is not enough feedback for players. The Inspector is very busy and doesn't get to play. We played in Discord with about 5 "rooms" with various caps on the number of players in that voice channel. The "rooms" worked well, I suggest this system for any party game that should have a bit of eavesdropping and private conversation. We played for an hour with 10 people--this was about right, maybe even long. We should have used less codenames. Two people dropped out partway, which didn't cause major issues.

**playtesting: none**
- If the result is **lower** than the difficulty, you fail (**no, and...**). Add 1 to your skill--you've improved through experience. If you have any fun ideas what went wrong, describe what happens. Otherwise the DM will give you an idea to describe.
- Whenever you describe what happens, you describe how NPCs react, and what happens in the world--not just what your character does.

## Progression
You are already Ultimate Archwizard. There is no room for improvement. But, you may be able to broaden your skills. If there's more than one session, you become the Archwizard of a second thing. Pick that thing, and you'll get extra powers.
