lohwand lohwand a land of fantasy and adventure home the garden of kama saturday december 7 2024 all at sea sea voyages on lohwand s ea voyages being a system for adjudicating the fate of fleets and supply convoys and the like around the seas and oceans of my lohwand campaign the assumption is that the seas are divided into movement zones and that each zone has a perilous seas rating which indicates how safe the stretch of water is the rating equates to extra dice on the table so the higher the value the more perilous the body of water hint if it s called the sea of storms or the the sea of chaos then expect a higher rating than something more serenely named the second assumption is that if there is a fleet moving then there is an admiral who decides when it sails and what route it takes he may have advisors but the ultimate decision is his so his skill level is used for the roll pray that he knows what he is doing the method is to roll 3d10 s as the base dice plus one fate die and perilous seas dice equal to the rating as mentioned above when the roll is made one is looking for successes rolled on the base dice alone the other dice are just there to see if they roll zeroes z each roll the admiral s skill equals a success at least one success is needed to arrive at the destination if no z are rolled then the fleet arrives without incident if no s are rolled or z s then something has happened and one must check the peril table to the right when rolling for peril there are two cases the first if the fleet or ship has reached the destination i e one or more s have been rolled previously and the second if there is a danger the fleet or ship has been lost at sea the number of base dice are the number of z rolled in the first instance plus 1d10 per ship in the fleet successes are the admiral s skill again and the total number of s represents the number of ships in the fleet in addition to the admiral s ship which have arrived safely at the destination for each of the other ships in the fleet a roll must be made as in case 2 in case 2 the same roll is made again but for each ship and rolled vs the individual captain s skill if at least one s is rolled then the ship arrives but is late either at the destination or at the home port having been forced to turn back the delay is 1 5 days 1d10 2 if no s are rolled then the ship is lost in this instance we do not know the fate of the ship they are merely not seen again presumably lost at sea and drowned note that a later fate roll might reveal this fate whether it turns out they were captured by pirates or taken by mermen or dashed on the rocks with a few survivors struggling in to a nearby village posted by phf at 6 03 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels campaigns hyborea lohwand sea voyages friday june 3 2022 lohwand a cosmology based on the writings of timeon of ar the cosmology of lohwand as proposed by timeon of ar when timeon of ar first proposed his cosmology of lohwand he was still only a low circle adept reading at leomund college in the unseen university of ar but such was the impact that he was permitted to submit it as his devotional labour for the year gaining his tenth circle ranking as a result many felt he deserved better some even dared to suggest immediate promotion to initiate even though this would have meant skipping the intervening ten senior adept circles most scoffed at the idea however and the archchancellor never considered this for a moment even if he did concede privately that dang kid might be onto something here then is my simpleminded attempt to explain timeon s proposal as i understand it first and foremost is the concept of reality governed by the law rune as scholars have argued for centuries this rune serves to contain three overlapping planes of existence the ethereal reaches of the spirit plane the plane of the five elemental lords and the mundane physical plane that is to say the world around us where the spirit and elemental planes intersect lies the dreamlands an ever changing realm which can be reached by mortals via the astral plane which timeon describes vaguely as the sinews that holds everything in place the underworld lies at the intersection of the spirit and physical planes again reachable via heroic questing on the astral plane this is more the domain of the priests and i leave further explanation to them at the junction of the physical and elemental planes are the infinity of the multi spheres what timeon claimed as infinite versions of the our world and an infinite host of others reaching forwards and backwards for all time yeah i understand that as well as you again he claimed that travel to and between the spheres was possible presumably via the astral plane timeon himself mentions passing through shell of one sphere into another but nowhere does he mention how he thinks this could be done at the central intersection of the planes timeon posited that time rested he writes about it as if it were an entity he also heretically i might add stated that this was where the great old gods originated and might still lurk the archdeacon had to over rule many calls for a heresy trial at that claim this construct of reality as timeon termed it resides floating on the seas of illusion which in turn are encapsulated by the never ending void timeon claimed that the void was a vast expanse of pure nothingness across which no person nor even any thought might traverse the kid s cuckoo many responded to this outrageous claim i make no judgement either way perhaps most disturbing was timeon s assertion that chaos was seeping back into the world he depicted it as a sphere of volatile chaos essence that is moving into the planes of reality he speculated that the seas of illusion had gradually eroded cracks in the protective law rune allowing chaos to infiltrate our existence again he gave examples but all are too sensational and if true horrifying for me to relate the archdeacon is said to have studied these latter assertions at length retiring to his chambers and calling on many great minds for lengthy consultation and debate what his final verdict was i know not but it seems likely to me that in the end these accusation were dismissed as wild imaginings on the other hand timeon was granted his circle advance so who can say note this is background for my justification of magic in my lohwand campaign no doubt readers will recognize the many sources i am borrowing from as inspiration apologies posted by phf at 6 55

order and defenses to the melee and morale sections unfortunately we decided that with omicron sweeping our communities that we could leave our refight of the battle until another day it would have been nice to do it on the anniversary but not essential anyway i m not ready yet i might have been but once that decision was made i slacked off somewhat so i am a bit behind schedule i have been tinkering with the rules adding bonuses for close order and defending defenses and also a yes no aspect to the fate table another thing i might add is an answer to where durnford s ammunition supply ended up vause s troop escorted it to camp but thereafter it is not mentioned and of course durnford and the men with him had no idea where it was hence their ammunition supply problems afaik no orders were issued to set up a camp from durnford s column though if there were then presumably it would have been on the south end beside 1 24th as i see it the wagons could have been left on the western side of the nek or moved to where this new camp might be established or perhaps moved up to the nnc camps so when an nco or officer is sent to retrieve ammo he has a bit of a problem from accounts of the battle the ammunition supply was not located so i m guessing it didn t have a big sign on it i m thinking a random draw of chits from a bag with one draw per turn and only one chit being the correct location if somebody thinks to ask lt vause then they get two chits posted by phf at 6 58 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels isandlwana laundry day rules rules wargaming zulu war thursday january 13 2022 isandlwana laundry day bloody spears edition now in tabloid page 1 page 2 this is the most recent version of my quick and deadly zulu war rules laundry day bloody spears edition note that under these rules the players are intended to take the role of imperial officers while the zulus are controlled by the referee that said i intend to make the british players make all the zulu die rolls themselves i ll just move the bases and deploy the induna as necessary zulu movement is pretty much pre programmed by the actual events of the battle and so there is little referee input required anyway except for the question of when to employ the induna inspiration rules each wing of the impi and also each regiment has 1 or more induna who function as fate points to try and inspire the pinned down regiments to action the induna is placed on the table the turn before it is used the following turn during movement and as a regiment is being activated the roll is made on the fate table to determine how successful the induna is at inspiring the unit posted by phf at 2 11 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share
