At Last! An RPG Game That Kids Can Play ! !

Need a Quick NPC?  Keep reading!

 

When your Players are starting to get bored, you need some bad guys & quick!  This is how I do it.

 For Hit Points (HP) I Roll a 12-sided dice and multiply X 10.  This will determine how big the NPC is.  Then I roll a 20-sided to see what the Creature Save (CSV) is (the lower the better for the NPC).  Now let's say I roll a 10 on the d12 (100 HP) & a 5 on the d20 (5 Creature Save), and the (CSV) is all in one simple number, from the creatures spell attempts to the creature avoiding the Player's traps, Spells, etc.

 As far as Armor Class goes for the NPC's, I like to roll a d6 (even a d10 or a d12, in some cases) & either plus or minus it on the highest Player's Armor Class!  This should give you enough randomness to make your game run smoother.  To make an easier game, don't have anymore enemies than you have Players.

Ogs are early humanoid creatures that stand as tall as seven feet.  Males have tusks & females don't.  They're vulgar & primitive omnivorous, and they usually don't eat other humanoids, but they will protect their territory.  Certain tribes have been know to be carnivorous.  They're not known for casting spells, but there have been exceptions.  

Usually has 80HP / (10 CSV) / 14 + 1d6 AC / 1d10 TH 1d10 + DMG (TH = DMG)

 

Goblins are known ambushers!  They stand about 4 feet tall, and they're sneaky and almost always get the initiative.  Some are able to cast 1st LVL Spells, and they can make & repair crude weapons & armor.  They aren't that strong, so that makes them good for beginning Players.  I like to roll a d20 for the number in a tribe or family.  They can be found anywhere.

Usually has 1d20 +5 HP / (12 CSV) / 9 + 1d10 AC / 1d4 TH 1d6 + DMG (TH = DMG)

Dursh are savage creatures that are about 6 foot tall.  When the Fayvin was created on Earth, the Dursh were manifested, and soon after their arrival they became ruthless.  Their 'Saliva' is highly poisonous.  They're too crazy to work together, so a Dursh is usually always alone. 

Usually has 100HP / (12 CSV) / 9 + 1d10 AC / 2d6 TH / 1d8 + DMG / Bite 1d12 Must (CON SV) or be Knocked Out for 3 RNDS & if not healed within 3 days = Death  (TH = DMG)

Nissins are special.  They don't get any Stats!  They're normally only 6 inches tall.  A Nissin can 'Stop Time' and cast Any Spell!  They are also incorruptible, thank goodness.  They're forest & woodland beings, and they don't get involved much, unless it benefits themselves or nature, and they often work for Fairy Princesses.  They can come in & out of the Fayvin at will.  Some believe that a Nissin is a 'Highly Evolved' Fairy.  Nissins are the DM's little helpers!  They can disenchant just about anything.  'Nissin advice' is not always 'Sage advice'.

Ji’kon (Lich) is a High Ranking Durkryr that has Geased themselves for Power & Undead Immortality.  They are usually controlling Undead Creatures, & Monsters of all Kinds for their Undead Kingdom.

A Time-line for 'Solun's Chronicles: APARTMENT 4D'

Back in the old days, when I needed a book published, I found some monks who weren’t too busy and convinced them to start copying.

But these days, I have to go through ‘proper channels’, and this is our story:

A Time-line for ‘Solun’s Chronicles:  Apartment 4D’

• 1993, August 1^st  =  I started in on this ‘Joe Allgood’ guy – a poet with some potential.  I gave him a dream that began the whole ‘Heliopard’ mythos.  The seed was planted.
• 1999, March 17^th  =  It was on the morning of St. Patrick’s Day, when I enlisted an artist (Joe’s Nephew) named David Allgood into my ranks.  On this particular morning, Joe and David found 4, 5, & 7 leaf clover growing all over their front lawn.  They ran inside, both grabbed pen and paper, and while Joe called out the names of the Heliopards, David drew them – all twenty-two (22) of them in less than 20 minutes!  They caught the ‘tone’ and that was good enough for me.  Two and a half months later, and after many poems, drawings, outlines, two dictionaries and over twenty original music compositions, the three of us had the Pardillion Mythos hammered-out pretty darn well.
• 1999, June 4^th =  They began work on the book: “The Pardillion, Volume I”.  A book that would never be published.  Though it was the necessary meat to cover the bones of many a plot.  But life would not be kind in the mean time.  They had to move three times in less than a year.
• 2001, October 23^rd  =  Joe’s & David’s families are living in a small trailer house, when they take it upon themselves to create a ‘Heliopard Death List’.  Well, it was late in the evening when they were going through deciding which Heliopards would live & die through the ‘Great War in Heaven’, when they heard some aggressive knocking on the side of the trailer.  The knocking was soon heard on the ceiling & underneath the trailer.  Then the knocking went completely wild and was heard everywhere.  They looked outside and there was no one – not even a squirrel, so they went back inside and the knocking continued immediately.  Then Joe said, “Alright!  The Heliopards don’t die; they just go back to the Sun and are reformed there!”  And the knocking stopped.
• 2002, October 5^th =  A couple of years later they had to part ways (after moving twice more) but stayed in touch, and “The Pardillion” crept ever closer to completion.
• 2003, September 11^th  =  After many trials and tribulations, “The Pardillion, Volume I” is finished but un-publishable (too long!  Way too long!).  Then came more trials and tribulations, as their two families struggled to survive on a daily basis.  But they still kept in touch.
• 2010, February 14^th  =  Then Joe’s family moved in with David’s in an old but nice house, and so began the next book: ‘Solun’s Chronicles: CHAOTICAL’.  We had the plot laid out nice and slick and powerful, when we realized that it was going to require at least 340 pages or even closer to 370 pages.  This would be too long for a first publication!  What to do?!  What to do?!
• 2011, February 3^rd =  They decided to go with a short story that I’d suggested to them back in 2000.  Well, the short story soon turned into a short novel (only 240 pages): ‘Solun’s Chronicles: Apartment 4D’.
• 2011, March 17^th =  On St. Patrick’s Day, the rough draft for ‘Solun’s Chronicles: Apartment 4D’ is complete.  And after a weekend of proofing & editing, they publish through lulu.com.

“There’s no treasure beyond the experience!”

Solun
 

Through the ages, this Planet has accumulated many legends & myths that were based on actual events.  As author of "The Pardillion", I feel it is my job to set the record straight. 

I've seen numerous and mighty Empires build themselves up to fantastic heights of technological achievements - more than I could ever dream of writing in a thousand volumes of books - only to dwindle and decay and erode into dust, leaving no trace of their knowledge or wisdom other than some obscure legend.  And even that has been contaminated by the various and changing cultures that have passed it down through many millennia.  Names were misspoken or replaced by the names of whatever gods were popular at that time.  Even in olden times there were many royal conspiracies to hide the Truth, which have prevailed to this day.  You see, the Truth promotes change, and Rulers generally don't like change other than creating wars or raising taxes.  So it shouldn't come as any great surprise that much of man's ignorance of the past has been due to selfish political reasoning.
