13 Chapters, 5 Appendices


grald_the_hunter over on the DCC/TA-TG forum requested that I do some blogging on the status of Transylvanian Adventures' doneness. So here I'm including the Table of Contents with some notes on the status of each of the sections. In future blogposts, I'll go overly briefly what each chapter contains, as well as highlighting which portions can be used independently of TA/TG.

Player's Sections

I: Introduction - (done, under review)
II: Rule Enhancements - (done, under review)
III: 0-Level Adventurers - (done, under review)
IV: Character Classes - (done, under review)
V: Equipment and Wealth - (done, under review)

Judge's Sections

VI: Skills - (done, under review)
VII: Magic - (done, under review)
VIII: Transylvania - (redrafting, about 80% done)
IX: Campaigning - (drafted, needs redraft)
X: The Hexmap - (drafted, needs redraft)
XI: Monsters and Encounters - (outlined, needs draft)
XII: Adversaries - (outlined, needs draft)
XIII: Sample Adventure - “Horror on Starkweather Mountain” - (done, under review)

Appendices

Appendix A: Research & Investigation - (done, under review)
Appendix B: In Between Adventures - (done, under review)
Appendix C: Random NPC Chart - (done, under review)
Appendix D: Random Name Charts - (done, under review)
Appendix E: Combat Events Table - (done, under review)

Extra Material

0-Level Character Sheet - (done, under review)
Character Sheet - (done, under review)

The reason the Monsters and the Adversaries chapters are still in outline stage is because I didn't get a look at how DCC was going to handle monsters until the final draft was made available. This is the first chance I've gotten to compare my notes to DCC because I've been very busy finalizing the character classes and the copious charts included with Transylvanian Adventures.

House Rule: Solving for Hit Point Inflation

A character's Constitution score is the lowest a character's maximum hit points can be. Changes & Examples A character's Constitution modifier is no longer applied to the hit points a character gains each level. The character's Constitution score, instead, sets the minimum threshold for the character's maximum hit points. Example: A 2nd level fighter in B/X, for example, with a 15 Constitution would not have a maximum of 2d8+2 hit points but, instead, would have rolled only 2d8 for her maximum hit points. No bonuses or modifiers applied. If the rolled hit points were lower than the fighter's Constitution score, she would take the 15 Constitution as her max hit point total instead of what she rolled with her hit dice. What is this? This house rule is a lot simpler than it seems from the description above. I tried to make it easy to understand but, even reading it, it seems a lot weirder on the page than it is in practice.

Back on the Rack

It's been a long time. But I'm still here. Still working on stuff. Over the last few months, here's what I've been up to. I took a brief hiatus around the end of last year and the start of this year. The holidays are always busy. And work was busy as well. Work's really continued to be busy. I consider that a good thing but it does hamper my ability to devote time to writing. During this hiatus, I took the time to explore what the tabletop RPG community had been up to. I read a number of books, played in some games, ran some games, funded some Kickstarters -- all that stuff I enjoy doing when I'm not the "Transylvania Guy". This is generally a time when I collect ideas. It was helpful when I came back from hiatus to look at Transylvanian Adventures  again with fresh eyes. I've been in contact with a potential co-author for TA . He's very interested and a legit writer to boot. Because he's legit, his schedule is just as crazy as mine
