Dungeonstack A to Z: April MacMulligan

Holy crap...I can't believe April is here.  And y'know...I'm pretty stoked to see what those around me in the tabletop-gamey-and-generally-geeky blogosphere have to offer for the 2017 Blogging From A to Z Challenge...!

I haven't even had a chance to post since that fateful day last month when we revealed our topics for the year.  And so, to recap...I will be presenting one playtest card per day for a game I call...

Henchmen & Hirelings: The Quest of Atoz

Oh...wait.

Scratch that.

Henchmen & Hirelings: The Quest of Atoz

I will be presenting...something very similar...but slightly different...

Dungeonstack: April's Quest

The beauty of this change is that pretty much no one has the slightest idea what the hell I'm talking about with either of them, so it's almost like no change at all!  As the month goes on, I will share why I made the change and give a little bit of background on both ideas.

For now, though, I'll just get to the card!  This is April MacMulligan, our game's hero.  Dungeonstack, you see, is essentially to be an OSR-based dungeon crawl card game where the deck is the dungeon, and to play it, you'll need someone to do the crawling.  That's what April...and any other heroes that come along this month...will be for.  Or, y'know, just roll up your own character.  Up to you, really.

Just print at 2.75x3.75" and cut on dotted lines.
Collect them all!

(April herself is clearly a relative of a previous adventurer I've used in a similar enterprise.)

Now, what do we have on this card?  It is, as you can probably tell, a condensed character sheet.  Level, class, and name at the top.  Attack bonus, damage (that's 1d6+1, by the way), armor/defense, and hit points under the artwork.  And then ability scores at the bottom, along with the bonuses that are there.  The base system here is essentially Swords & Wizardry WhiteBox or Light; I might have even tried to keep up "official" compatibility if it weren't for that pesky descending-AC requirement.

But hey, I like sending out generic OSR love!

So, this is how Dungeonstack starts.  I can't wait to find out how it plays itself out...

Now, to see what you other cats are posting today...!
