The stability die isn't linked to the size of the domain. In my mind, it's a measure of the amount of political intrigue, wilderness danger, and plain weirdness of the area. I definitely need to put this in writing =)
Try with two dice per domain, Affluency and Stability. The first is how good you are at not making people hungry. The second is Now good you are at not making people angry.
Eric Nieudan Affluency is related to Wisdom and Stability to Charisma. None of them is related to wealth (leaders of very poor nation on the brink of social chaos can be filthy rich), but you should be able to buy a way out troubles.
Eric Nieudan you could try with multiple rolls too. Roll once for every family of settlers or clan or hex or hamlet etc. Add the numeber to ger your income. If you get couples, threesomes or pokers of the same number, you also hey that number's Trouble. So having bigger dices means you get both more money and less troubles.
Is the size of the domain objective, or subjective?
For example, let’s say I’ve got one PC whose domain is a hotel, and another whose domain is a country. A country is obviously larger than a hotel! But is it nonetheless possible that the hotel might have a domain die of d10 or d12 (for a large hotel, maybe a chain of hotels), while the country has a d4 or d6 (for a small country)?
Iacopo Maffi This is interesting, but probably too in depth for what I'm doing. Maybe someday there will be space and time for a detailed domain game...
Note that this is fresh from the keyboard rough. I'll take a break and roll some dice on paper to see how the rules handle.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very good as a framework. Of course it needs to be changed to fit a specific domain.
ReplyDeleteResults looks generic enough to be adapted through the fiction to me Tore Nielsen. Great work Eric Nieudan!
ReplyDeleteBoth approaches work I think: adapt the tables to the setting and/or domains, or just come up with the details on the fly.
ReplyDeleteI like the concept but I feel like larger domains would attract larger troubles. How do you determine what stability dice you are rolling?

ReplyDeleteI just can't download it. I'm soo fond of domain rules ! 😞
ReplyDeleteNicolas Dessaux Look at your email =D
ReplyDeleteIacopo Maffi It's an interesting thought. How does Affluency relate to characters stats and/or wealth?
ReplyDeleteEric Nieudan Thanks !

ReplyDeleteLooks good! Quick and easy to adapt if necessary.

People talking about the game online are gonna get annoyed about having to type that Δ symbol. Unless they’re Greek.
ReplyDeleteΔ = risk?
ReplyDeleteClaytonian JP yes, i think.
ReplyDeleteIt's a game phase I really appreciate.
Claytonian JP Nessir is right. It's the new fancy way to write dR.
ReplyDeleteAvram Grumer It's ok to use ^ or D... My phone keyboard has ∆, but on my laptop I have to copy and paste.
ReplyDeleteI originally intended the system with objective sizes. As the table is written, a small country wouldn't be very profitable :)
