The game aims to abstract much of the features of a TTRPG in + order to give more power to the game master and their storytelling as + opposed to complex game mechanics as seen in other entertaining, but + difficult to pick up, tabletop games. The side effect of the game's + simplicity is that game masters have a lot more work to do in creating + content for their players - *this is intentional*, and if that doesn't + sound like your thing then musi supa pona is not the game for you. + + This manual serves as a guide for both players and game masters alike; + due to the game's relative simplicity it is possible to contain all + information about the game into one document. Additional information + and resources can be found at [https://mounderfod.online/msp]. + + +2 Characters +============ + + One of the key aspects of musi supa pona, as with many TTRPGs, is the + character. The game character is the way in which the real world + player interacts with the internal world of the game, and as such, + great importance is put into the character in musi supa pona. + + +2.1 Character Stats +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + The most important part of a character is their in-game stats. These + are used to determine various parts of the game using dice rolls. Each + statistic is a positive or negative number which represents how a + d20[1]'s output will be modified (similar to DnD). The statistics are + as follows: + + - *Strength*: A character's physical capabilites. + - *Intelligence*: A character's ability to be observant of the world + around them and interpret and work with complex ideas. + - *Speed*: A character's agility of movement. + - *Defence*: A character's ability to deal with injury. + - *Charisma*: A character's ability to manipulate or otherwise + convince those around them. + + +2.1.1 Calculating Stats +----------------------- + + Each statistic is calculated by rolling a d20 and 2d6. The sum of the + 2d6 is subtracted from the d20, allowing for a maximum stat of +18 and + a minimum of -11. + + This should be calculated before a session begins, when the character + is created. It may only be done once in the creation of a character, + and you cannot reroll unless given permission by the game master. + + +2.2 Other Character Information +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +2.2.1 Name +---------- + + The character's name. Make this anything you like. + + +2.2.2 Background +---------------- + + The character's race, character class, alignment[2], and + occupation. By default this has noeffect on gameplay, but at the game + master's discretion, the character class may influence a character's + e.g. equipment, and similarly a player may choose to make decisions + that are influenced by the character's background. + + +2.2.3 Inventory +--------------- + + The items that the character is carrying with them. Every item has a + weight in grams, and the maximum quantity that a character can carry + in their inventory is determined by the formula: + + $$ w = s * 1.5 * 500 $$ + + with $s$ representing the character's *Strength* statistic. + + For more information about the contents of an Inventory, see [Items]. + + +[Items] See section 3 + + +2.2.4 Health Points and Disaster Rolls +-------------------------------------- + + A character has a set number of health points, which is equal to 20 + plus the character's *Defence* statistic. + + If the character's health reaches 0 as a result of damage, the player + must roll 3d20 as disaster rolls. If the sum of the rolls is more than + 30, the character's health is increased to 1 and the character is + unable to attack or defend themselves unless their health increases + (if the character's health is 1 for other reasons, this rule does not + apply). If the sum is less than 30, the character dies and can no + longer be used in the current session (the game master can decide how + to proceed in future sessions). + + +2.2.5 Experience +---------------- + + A character has experience points corresponding to experience levels. + Experience points may be granted at the game master's discretion. To + level up, the player must accumulate: + + - Level 1: 10 points total + - Level 2: 100 points total + - Level 3: 1000 points total + + etc. + + +2.2.6 Notes +----------- + + A blank space for lore or any other information relevant to the + character. + + +2.3 The Character Sheet +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + The character sheet is used to contain all of the details regarding a + musi supa pona character. A blank one may be seen at + [https://mounderfod.online/msp/character_sheet], and players or game + masters may create their own based on this template. + + +3 Items +======= + + Generally, items and their properties are determined by the game + master, but there are some special cases: + + +3.0.1 Equipment +--------------- + + Equipment refers to any item that is actively used by a character to + perform an action. A character should have starting equipment, though + what this is should be decided between the player and the game master, + taking into account the player's background, etc. + + +3.0.2 Food +---------- + + Food items heal a set number of health points for a character. Some + food items can be consumed only once, while others can be eaten in + multiple pieces. This is decided by the game master. + + +3.0.3 Currency +-------------- + + musi supa pona has its own custom currency system. In short, it works + as follows: + + - The base unit is copper + - 1 silver = 10 copper + - 1 gold = 50 silver = 500 copper + - 1 platinum = 100 gold = 5000 silver = 50000 copper + + Every character starts with a currency bag (50g empty), and can store + up to 15 of each type of coin (8g each) - a full currency bag weighs + 480g. + + +4 The Structure of Play +======================= + + The game loop of musi supa pona is simple, and largely the same as + Dungeons and Dragons. + + 1. The game master describes the scenario in which the characters are + found. + 2. The game master will ask one player (by convention, the one to + their left, but it doesn't matter) what they are going to do. If + the player desires to perform an *action*, the dice are rolled, and + the game master describes the result of the action. + 3. The game master repeats this for every player at the table, then + repeats the whole thing again. + + +4.1 Actions +~~~~~~~~~~~ + + Actions are any thing that a character can do that involves one of + their statistics. Unlike Dungeons and Dragons, musi supa pona does + not feature sub-statistics in the form of skills[3] and only the base + ones are used. For each action, the game master will declare which + skill is involved and a d20 is rolled, adding the modifier listed on + the character sheet to the result. Without telling the player, the + game master will determine the minimum (or maximum) result needed for + the action to be successful. + + +4.2 Battle +~~~~~~~~~~ + + A core part of gameplay is battle, when the characters are confronted + with enemies to defeat. Battle works as follows: + + 1. Every character's player rolls a d6, and the game master rolls a d6 + for every NPC involved. This determines the turn order (from lowest + to highest). If two participants roll the same number, the one + with the greatest *Speed* statistic goes first (NPCs have no speed + statistic and so for this purpose it is 0). + 2. On their turn, each player (or NPC, controlled by the game master) + picks which enemy their character is going to attack. Their turn + can alternatively be used to perform a non-battle action (such as + using an item to heal a friend). + 3. If attacking, both the character's player and the enemy's + controller (i.e. the game master) roll a d6 dice. The attack is + successful if the attacker's result is greater than the defender's + result. If the defender's result is exactly twice that of the + attacker, then the defender gets an extra turn just after the + attacker's turn. + 4. This repeats for every player and NPC until either there are no + more enemies or all the player characters have died. + + The effect of the attack is determined by the equipment the character + has (and ultimately, the game master). + + +4.3 Movement +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + It is assumed that all characters will move between actions at the + same speed, for simplicity and to reduce the amount of calculation + required from the game master. If the game master wishes to implement + a more specific movement system, they are welcome to do so. + + +4.4 Resting +~~~~~~~~~~~ + + At any point, characters may choose to rest: + + - *Short Rest*: The player does not get a turn in the next round of + actions. Instead, the player will regain 5 health points. + - *Long Rest*: The player does not get a turn in the next three rounds + of actions. Instead, the player will regain all of their health + points. + + The way in which the passage of time is handled and how it interacts + with rest is up to the game master; they may choose to have a + day/night cycle with characters resting at night or to just have a + constant linear session, with characters resting during gameplay as + described above. + + +5 Postamble +=========== + +5.1 Next Steps for Players +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + Find a game master and other players to have a session with, create a + character and have fun! + + +5.2 Next Steps for Game Masters +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + You should create some content for your next session or campaign. It + may be useful to include: + + - Details about places in the in-game world (e.g. towns, villages, + forests) + - A preset list of common items in the in-game world (weapons, armor, + etc.) + - A preset list of common creatures, their actions, their attacks and + their health points + - Some prepared dungeons, quests and adventures + + If you don't want to come up with all of this yourself, you can borrow + content and ideas from other musi supa pona game masters or other + TTRPGs. Alternatively, you may want to consider playing a less + abstract TTRPG. + + +5.3 Credits +~~~~~~~~~~~ + + This TTRPG is heavily inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, designed by + Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in 1974. + + +5.4 Sharing this Document +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + + This document is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 + license (CC-BY).
