Info

This is the tasty part of the game where your Adventurers get to use their POWERS, sling spells, and bash monsters. Usually, this is the longest PHASE of a “game” and most of the player rules are about playing in the DUNGEON Phase. The DUNGEON Phase generally consists of some monster fighting, some pivotal decision, and more monster fighting. The DUNGEON Phase ends when the party completes the mission, or chooses to “run away”. See “RUNNING AWAY” for more on putting on your frilly pink skirts in the big bad dungeoney-wungeony. A successful DUNGEON phase results in the party receiving a MCGUFFIN. Parties can use MCGUFFINS to resolve their ALIGNMENT. A complete description of MCGUFFINS and ALIGNMENTS can be found in the ALIGNMENT section. THE TOWN PHASE Games either start or end in the TOWN PHASE. At the start of the TOWN Phase, a regains all of their “charged” powers. After that, each player takes turns (in Snack Order), spending or acquiring “Stories”. At the beginning of the TOWN Phase, each player gets one “free” STORY. Players can earn additional “STORIES” by paying a SKULL to the MONSTER BOWL for each extra STORY they want. Don’t worry about Skulls and the Monster Bowl right now, we’ll get to them soon – just trust us that they’re as wicked cool as they sound. An Adventurer can spend a “story” to take an action in the town, some examples are below: GO TO THE BAR GO SHOPPING GO TO THE GUILD STORY actions An Adventurer can spend their TOWN Phase at the bar. They can buy beer and food, and get ready for the next adventure. While at the bar, the Adventurer regains all of their powers (i.e. any Charged power they used are reset) and they can heal 1 HIT DIE. In addition, an Adventurer can select any one QUEST that has been posted in the tavern. An Adventure can go and visit the shops of the Town they are in. This allows them to buy new gear and repair stuff. An Adventurer can visit any number of shops on one shopping trip. An Adventurer can go to the GUILD and “Level Up”. An Adventurer can only visit the GUILD once GO TO THE TEMPLE USE A “TOWN” POWER FIND A NEW CONTACT VISIT AN OLD CONTACT ACHIEVE A GOAL START AN ADVENTURE per TOWN PHASE. While at the GUILD, the Adventure can select any one QUEST that has been posted at the GUILD, and if they have the money they can “Buy a Level”. An Adventurer can go to the TEMPLE to get healed back up to full. The Temple accepts donations (and by donations, we mean they charge you ZZZ x Level in GC.) If an Adventurer has a TOWN based POWER (like MOONLIGHT, LIBRARY CARD or BLUE ANKH/BLUE SHIELD) they can gain its effect. An Adventurer can use their time in TOWN to find a new CONTACT. A Contact is a person that can give your Adventurer QUESTS (we’ll cover that in a later bit, but it’s important). Once you have a contact, you can use your time to visit them again to see if they have something else that could put coin in your purse (or McGuffins in your coffers). Even if your contact is in the bar, you have to spend a STORY to get a new quest from them. If your party has enough McGuffins, you can cash them in to achieve a goal. Usually, these will be things that you have been working towards – or maybe you will notice that you have a surplus of GLORY and feel like having the bards sing your praises. Any player can spend a story to ACHIEVE A GOAL. Once the party has gathered in the bar (or tavern, or malt-shop, or wherever it is that you gather), you all need to agree on (or more accurately, argue about and then settle for) which QUEST you want to tackle next from your parties available quests. Whoever “starts the adventure” gets to be the PARTY LEADER for the upcoming DUNGEON Phase. The DANGER LEVEL of the DUNGEON Phase is the PARTY LEADER’s LEVEL + the DANGER FACTOR (usually +0 to +3).
The monster bowl I know that you have been dying to ask this – “What the F^@&! is a MONSTER BOWL!” According to the Thunderhawk Vulgar Dictionary, a Monster Bowl is defined as: Monster Bowl (Mun Stir BOL): noun. 1) A receptacle for Skulls. 2) A container for holding nourishing food and water for magically summoned pets. 3) The biggest Professional Warhamster Gladiatorial Competition of the year. In Warhamster! The Massively Multiplayer Tabletop Dungeon Adventure Game, the Monster Bowl is a receptacle for SKULLS. So, in order to play Warhamster you need to scrounge up something to hold skulls in – usually a bowl, but a coffee can, hat, or anything else will do nicely. If you’re really into it – you should get a bowl and paint it all up like a dungeon artifact – not only is that really cool, it will scare the beejeezus out of your Mom when she comes down into the basement with a tray of lemonade for you and your “little friends”. So, what the heck is a SKULL? Right? A SKULL* (in Warhamster game parlance, and not the bony structure that holds your brains in your head) is a marker that represents something bad that is going to happen to the players. Whenever the Adventurers get a skull, drop one of the SKULL counters into the MONSTER BOWL. You’re going to need a whole mess of counters for Skulls. Bad stuff piles up fast and furious**. They could actually be skulls but that would be going a little far. Glass beads, paper chits, unused dice, zombie minis, whatever you can find. We’ll include a paper counter that you could print out in a pinch. For players of other 9 th Level Games (like Kobolds Ate MY Baby!, Ninja Burger, or Cthulhu for President!), Skulls will be familiar – they are like Checks on the Horrible Death Record! If you’re new to the way that we roll here at 9LG***, the basic idea is that when the Adventurers do something that should result in a penalty, they get a SKULL. Unlike other 9LG games, the whole PARTY is responsible for the Bowl… * Go. Hunt. Kill SKuls. ** Fast. And furious – players are gonna be furious about getting skulls. But not 2Fast, 2Furious. That sucked. *** The 9 to the L to the G y’all. Kickin’ it Original Recipe Gangster style. Eastside!
