+ | |||
+ | By receipt of this notice, you are hereby acknowledged as a member (honorary or | ||
+ | otherwise) of the Snell-McNary Hall Lounge Rats. As a benefit of said | ||
+ | membership, you are welcome to partake in the **Second Bi-Annual Lounge Rats | ||
+ | Beach Trip** which will occur the weekend of April 11th and 12th. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This year the motivating factor behind organization of this excursion is the | ||
+ | return (albeit temporary) of a wayward member (one Mr. Roy Guisinger) to our | ||
+ | fold. Mr. Guisinger has been suffering in the wilds of Florida for several | ||
+ | months now and is clearly ready for a re-introduction to the beauties of Oregon | ||
+ | weather. | ||
+ | April? | ||
+ | |||
+ | For those of you with a propensity for requiring exacting details (translation: | ||
+ | Brian Bishop), I hereby dictate the parameters under which this year's | ||
+ | expedition will be undertaken. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recently, my parents have acquired a comfortable second residence quite near | ||
+ | Manzanita, Oregon. | ||
+ | membership of our lounge rat organization has not in the past been known to | ||
+ | wild, destructive parties, we have been approved for a temporary stay. Said | ||
+ | domicile has two real beds (one of which I claim host privileges to) and two | ||
+ | fake beds. Obviously, this is insufficient to accommodate our needs so you are | ||
+ | encouraged to bring sleeping bags and/or blankets. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The arrival of members on the morning of Saturday April 11th is encouraged. | ||
+ | Activities will commence until the afternoon of Sunday the 12th at which point | ||
+ | the house will be cleaned and abandoned by all members. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For detailed instructions on how to navigate to said abode, I suggest that those | ||
+ | who will be drivers should contact me at the below address as soon as possible. | ||

+ | | OFFICIAL INVITATION\\ TO THE\\ **SECOND ANNUAL**\\ JIM SEYMOUR\\ **ANNIVERSARY DUNGEON** | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is with great pleasure that I formally announce my second annual | ||
+ | __Anniversary Dungeon__. | ||
+ | apparent end, and one year after he met his true, final end, I will run a | ||
+ | fantasy adventure in celebration. The date shall coincide with the previously | ||
+ | announced **Second Bi-Annual Lounge Rats Beach Trip** and will occur the evening | ||
+ | of April 11th. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This time, the game will be **Fantasy Hero** not Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. | ||
+ | " | ||
+ | I've spent the last five years developing? | ||
+ | emulate the established AD&D characters in my campaign, I have decided that this | ||
+ | game will be played with **legal** Fantasy Hero characters built on a 300-point | ||
+ | base. Yes, I said **300**! | ||
+ | since FH Disadvantages are not worth all that many points, the characters will | ||
+ | most likely be no more than 325 points total). | ||
+ | players to construct reasonable approximations of their AD&D characters as well | ||
+ | as let players without established characters to build an interesting one-shot | ||
+ | character. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **If you are unfamiliar with the __Fantasy Hero__ game mechanics**, | ||
+ | have two options: **1)** Do not play or **2)** Find a player who knows what they | ||
+ | are talking about and ask him or her. As for the first option, I would really | ||
+ | like to say that I feel it to be unacceptable, | ||
+ | the potential for fifteen to twenty players and any excuse to cut this down is | ||
+ | appreciated. | ||
+ | questions if you are Portland-based. | ||
+ | should probably track down Chris Bezodis or Pete Norton. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **You must tell me if you are interested in playing**. | ||
+ | RSVP, then I cannot plan your character into the adventure. | ||
+ | play, please send me a letter and tell me what character you are going to be | ||
+ | using. Those without established characters (or those unfamiliar with the rules) | ||
+ | can opt to let me provide you with a character, but this must be stated in your | ||
+ | RSVP. | ||
+ | |||
+ | | **SPECIFIC RULE MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS\\ (for the benefit of my players)** | ||
+ | |||
+ | I will make one pass through the rule book and quickly jot down the appropriate | ||
+ | rule changes that I have incorporated into my campaign so far. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **__Skills__**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | In addition to the **Brawling** skill, I have included the **Martial Arts** | ||
+ | packages from Danger International. | ||
+ | game with no modifications. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Swimming** costs one point for the first inch, and two points for each | ||
+ | additional inch. (This is merely a clarification). | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **__Spell Effects__**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Accuracy** and **Protection** can be considered the same effect, but the | ||
+ | amounts in each cannot be changed unless the **Variable Results** advantage is | ||
+ | used. (Similar to PD and ED in a Shield). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Extra-planar evil and good can be considered types for use with the **Detect | ||
+ | Type** effect. | ||
+ | elves), but will register on such things as demons. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Heal** may be applied to individual wounds if the Hit Location option is used. | ||
+ | Thus, a 2d6 Heal could easily heal ten body points if they were spread out in | ||
+ | five two-point wounds. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The advantage **Full DCV while Flying** (as outlined in the monster section) is | ||
+ | perfectly valid on the **Levitate** effect. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Locate** effect is to be replaced by the Champions **Mind Scan** power. | ||
+ | This allows a +1 to the roll for +3 points and does not require Line-of-Sight. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **__Spell Modifiers__**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **END Reserve** limitation recharges at a faster rate in my campaign. | ||
+ | Instead of 3 hours and the +½ and +1 levels, the rate is 1 END per 10 minutes. | ||
+ | At the +1½ level, the rate is 1 END per 3 hours and at +2 it is at 1 END per | ||
+ | day. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Innate Power** is a new limitation, though it is worth no bonus (consider it | ||
+ | +0). The spell is considered **Independent**, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Champions advantages **Armor Piercing**, **Attack with No Normal Defense**, | ||
+ | **Autofire**, | ||
+ | permission from the GM! | ||
+ | |||
+ | **__Miscellaneous__**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Creating Magic Items should be done the " | ||
+ | magic sword, figure out the **Blast** effect with **Fast**, **Easy**, and **No | ||
+ | Magic Roll** advantages and the **Material**, | ||
+ | limitations. | ||
+ | the **Melee Weapon Limitation** chart on Page 107. A similar procedure applies | ||
+ | to Armor, Missile weapons, Shields, and Scrolls. | ||
+ | constructing Potions as they are detailed on page 108. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The **Follower** and **Restricted Magic** disadvantages may be used without a | ||
+ | specific package deal associated with them. They must make sense to the | ||
+ | character conception, though, and are subject to GM veto. | ||
