Wonderland - Jags

Notice Roll
This roll is made when using random-rules for handling Episodes. A
character who undergoes Descent may attract the attention of various
things down there and this roll will determine if something is after him
or her.

Modifiers
Certain behaviors increase the chances of Notice. The Underground
isn’t well prepared to deal with this because they deny the fundamental
reality of the experience. As a result their information is seen through a
fractured lens: they believe that Notice is simply residual psychological
problems resulting from trauma.
Attitude Modifier Notes
Curiosity -3 Although the exact mechanism for this is unclear, reacting with curiosity to things going on
at the lower levels—engaging with them in some way—is a reasonable antidote to Notice.
Adoption of Role -5 At the foundational level of Wonderland there aren’t quarks and gluons. There are puzzles
and dramas. When a person finds themselves on a lower level they sometimes are expected to
“play a role” (a character could find themselves in an insane court being thrust into the role
of a jester). Failure to do this can be dangerous (or lethal) in its own right—but even if it is
successfully avoided there may be repercussions later (Notice).
Turteling +1 to +4 When a character Descends to Chessboard Three or below they do so through the Linear
Maze. It seems that doing so “opens a corridor” in reality that doesn’t “heal” (or seal) for a
period of time. If the character stays where he or she is and doesn’t move they sort of “hold
the door open” and things can find them.
NOTE: The Underground’s general advice for Going Deep is to behave
as though the experience “is a dream where one does what one must.”
They usually advocate minimal interaction—but make an exception for
deep Descents. Still, many groups are strongly divided over how they
think this should be dealt with.
What Is It and What Does It Want?
Here are some tables for determining what a specific creature might want
when it comes to satisfy its Notice.
