FailStatesRPG:FQR

Why bother?

I loved playing Avalon Hill's Magic Realm. I want to reimagine the setting and rules, thereby restoring the Realm to glory in a way that is less constrained by chits and map tiles.

Parts of a Day

The game of Fae Queen Restored is played in days of action. In this context, consider a day as consisting of parts: 3 parts in spring and fall, 2 parts in deep winter, 4 parts in high summer. In each part of the day, a character may attempt an action. Typically, a character may not repeat the same action all day (the "Enduring" Amazon is an exception).

The expected result of an action is moderate success, using all that part of the day. A better result would be greater success, or enabling an extra action. A worse result would be failure that uses all that part of the day or that angers a denizen. A much worse result would be failure that costs that part of the day and that also angers a denizen.

Examples:

FORAGE (WIT) can find a day of food and water; half that if conditions are harsh, twice that if conditions are lush.

RECRUIT (CHA) can arrange for hire of companions at a fair price. Here the better result is a 10% discount, the worse result is a 20% premium (or using two parts of the day to arrive at a fair price), and much worse is hostility.

REST can restore a point of STR (which can be lost in combat).

RETURN and MOVE ALONG are special actions for traversing the Kingdom, discussed below.

SEARCH (WIT) can enable a treasure roll within a location.

TRADE (CHA) can arrange for sale or purchase of goods at a fair price. Here the better result is a 20% advantage to the price, the worse result is a 20% disadvantage (or using two parts of the day to arrive at a fair price), and much worse is a 50% disadvantage (or using two parts of the day to arrive at a 20% disadvantage).

Traversing the Kingdom

The Kingdom is eerie, ever-changing, non-Euclidean and different for every player. It also is finite. Every player can visit the same locations. Its layout is procedurally generated for each player, so that everyone has a different path. Players can lead each other, but without a guide or map, each player knows only the path they personally have trod.

d6,d6	1	2	3	4	5	6
1	Bounteous Village	Birch Wood	Grim Heath	Jagged Hill	Hot Caves	B
2	Silent Village	Elm Wood	Gloomy Heath	Cold Pass	Salt Caves	L
3	Goatkin Village	Ash Wood	Pale Heath	Sentry Peak	Deep Caves	I
4	Furnace Village	Oak Wood	Moaning Heath	Golden Cliffs	Glowing Caves	S
5	Porcelain Village	Beech Wood	Howling Heath	High Seat Crag	Grottoes	S
6	L	O	S	T	Threshold	Durance

Each time a player Moves Along, roll on the table above for where they end up. Note the new location as adjacent to the previous location. Each location on a player's path can have only five adjacent locations. Any of those five can be LOST!, BLISS, or Durance. Once all five of a location's adjacent locations are filled, a player can only Return to that location from a known adjacent location; if the "filled" location is rolled when they Move Along, they must re-roll.

A LOST! result fills one of the adjacent locations but returns the player to where they started. From Durance, a player can only Return to an already known adjacent location; they cannot Move Along. From BLISS, a player can only Move Along; once all five of the adjacent locations are known, the player cannot leave Bliss unless someone else guides them to a new location. When a player enters Threshold, they already know that Durance is one of the adjacent locations. They can Move Along from Threshold to three other locations.

Being guided to a location does not add that location to the player's path. Having a map does add its locations to the player's path - even if the player has not yet been to any of those locations, and even if this would violate the maximum number of five adjacencies to any given location.

When a player arrives in a new location, roll on the Denizen table for that location to learn who greets them.

The Core

The narrator presents a situation. The player expresses their intended action, whether they will use an Extra, and suggests expected and better outcomes of that action. The narrator ratifies or modifies, offers worse and much worse potentials, and offers the player to roll the dice. The player can revise their intent, or roll. After a roll, the narrator describes how the player's Luck has changed the situation.

Roll two dice for Luck.

Die roll	Result
6-9	as expected
10+	better
4-5	worse
2-3	much worse

Roll 2d4 by default. For each point of an ability (STRength, WITs, or CHArm), make one of your Luck dice one size bigger (2d10 maximum). You may roll and add an Extra die (d4 or larger) if you have one available. Each time you roll an Extra die, set it aside. You regain one set-aside Extra die each time that you hear Birdsong (usually right before dawn).

Larger than Life

Ordinary people have 0 STR, 0 WIT, 0 CHA. They roll 2d4 by default. At best, they get what they expected. More often than not, they do worse than they hoped. Some may have an Extra that sometimes allows them to do better than expected.

You are larger than life. To find each of your abilities, roll 2d6 and take the lower die for a range of 1 to 6. Remember that each point in ability makes one of your Luck dice one size bigger for rolls that invoke that ability. This means that if any ability applies to a situation you will roll at least d4+d6, and at best you could roll 2d10.

You start with two Extra dice (d4 each). They may represent special skills or equipment. The first time you roll each of them, name its nature. Thereafter it can be rolled only according to its nature. Remember that an Extra is set aside after it is rolled, until it is refreshed.

In downtime between adventures, you may gain one Extra die or make one Extra die one size bigger (max d12).

Examples of Extra dice:

• superior weapon
• superior armor
• psychic power
• special training
• special knowledge
• special relationship

Combat Mini-Game

You may prefer distinct rules for combat as compared to other situations. Here they are.

Everybody has 1 Hit Die and an armor class.

Weapons / armor	Hit Die (HD)	Armor class (AC)
Unarmed	d4	2
Light	d6	3
Medium	d8	4
Heavy	d10	5
Tremendous	d12	6

When shooting or hitting someone, roll your Hit Die. If the result is greater than their armor class, remove their Hit Die; they are done. If you have an applicable Extra, you may roll that die and add it to your Hit Die or to your armor class.

Optionally, armor or weapons may be damaged (reduced by 1 AC or one size of Hit Die) rather than removing a Hit Die.

How do I recover damaged or lost HD, STR, and Extras?

When you hear Birdsong (right before dawn, or if someone sings for you), you regain all HD, 1 STR, and one of your set-aside Extra dice.

When you hear Restoration, you regain all HD, all lost STR and all of your set-aside Extra dice.

When you hear Repair, all damaged weapons and armor are restored to full HD and AC.

Arms and Armor

Now look at this table:

Arms	Cost (in BLISS)	Lifestyle min	(#) Examples
Unarmed	3p	Meager	Gambeson; dagger, rocks
Light	1s	Simple	(1) Maille shirt and/or (2) target; (3) light spear or (4) arming sword, (5) short bow or (6) sling
Moderate	5s	Decent	(1) Hauberk and cap, (2) heater shield; (3) hand axe, (4) heavy hammer, (5,6) spear or (7) broad sword, (8) long bow
Heavy (min STR 3)	15s	Good	(1) Haubergeon with bracers and helm; two-hand (2) axe or (3) halberd, two-hand (4) sword or (5) hammer, (6) arbalest
Tremendous (min STR 5)	2£	Rich	(1) Full maille and closed helm; tremendous (2,3) sword or (4) axe

If you are beneath the lifestyle minimum of your arms, then each month make a WIT roll to learn whether they degrade (Hit Dice get one size smaller, armor class gets one less).

A Simple Class System

Where we have Hit Dice we can have Classes. A "hard" character has 2 Hit Dice. A "sharp" character's Extras start at d6, not d4. A "smooth" character rolls 3d6 and takes the middle die for one of their Abilities.

As expected?

Common sense applies. It should be expected that someone with Tremendous armament will slaughter someone unarmed in a fight, at best the unarmed person might hope to trip and escape their opponent - or do they dare the risk of trying to disarm the armored wielder of a massive halberd? Do they maybe try to talk their way out of the fight? Should it be expected that a warrior armed with a halberd might pause to parley with a harmless unarmed person?

Dice result	2-3	4-5	6-9	10+
0 HD (STR)	-4 STR	-2 STR	-1 STR	Stable.
MORALE (CHA)	Flee.	Retreat.	Hold.	Bold.
RECRUIT (CHA)	Hostile.	20% premium.	Fair price.	10% discount
TRADE (CHA)	No deal.	10% markup/knockoff.	Fair price.	10% bargain/premium.
FORAGE (WIT)	Angry denizen.	Waste action.	Find food and water.	Food and water and extra action.
SEARCH (WIT)	Angry denizen.	Waste action.	Roll on treasure table.	Roll on treasure table and extra action.

0 HD results: if STR is less than zero, the character dies.

MORALE results: roll for denizens at start of combat and each time one of their allies is knocked down (0 HD). Use the CHA of a character who hired the denizens, or the default CHA of the denizens. Fleeing denizens can be attacked once without risk. Bold denizens gain a d4 Extra to their next attack.

Magic

A character may attempt to sing any magical Song that they have learned. Some songs require a WIT roll, others require CHA or even STR. None of the characters in the Fae Kingdom are "research wizards". They only can sing songs that they have learned by hearing the songs.

The expected result of singing a song is NOTHING. A better result is that the song is effective. A worse result is that an angry faery appears. A much worse result is that an angry faery appears and immediately attacks the character.

Some characters have a specific type of song as an Extra.

Holy Chants (CHA)

Birdsong: Cancel all spells with duration. All who hear the song regain 1 STR and one set-aside Extra.
Exorcism: Banish faeries from current location.
Quell: All who hear are reduced to 0 HD, but do not lose STR.
Repair: Restore the target's damaged arms to full Hit Dice.
Restoration: All who hear regain full STR and all set-aside Extras.

Bittersweet Ballads (WIT)

Faelight: All who hear the song are LOST! - strike out their entire lists of locations adjacent to this location, they may not Return from here but must Move Along.
Golden Tongue: One who hears the song gains CHA +6.
Lightness of Being: One who hears the song gains the Strider trait.
The Earth Speaks: Singer discovers all treasures in current location.
The Tangled Vine: One who hears the song may not leave current location.

Hymns of the Rose (STR)

Bitter Seed: Those who hear the song lose all their Extras.
How Sweet the Scent: The singer gains the Peaceable trait.
Leaf Blight: One who hears the song loses 1 STR.
Petals Shake: One who hears the song rolls all Hit Dice, sets aside any odd dice.
The Beautiful Broken Thorns: Apply the singer's roll for the song as Hit Dice against all who hear the song.

Nightshade Lullabies (WIT)

Drowse: All who hear the song sleep.
Fading Twilight: The singer gains the Elusive trait.
Fog: All who hear the song cannot Search, Forage, Trade, Recruit, Move Along, or Return.
Gust of Wind: An object is moved as if by a hand of STR +4; or, singer rolls one Medium Hit Die (d8).
Witch Sight: Singer sees all hidden things.

Periwinkle Jingles (CHA)

Beast Speech: Those who hear the song may converse with any animal. Make Reaction Rolls.
Hidden Star: The singer illuminates their location as if they are a star.
Pandemonium: All who hear the song lose the rest of their Daily Actions in a cacophany of laughter and screaming.
Shield: The singer gains an armor number of 8.
Sweet Berry of Knowledge: Target gains a map of three random locations.

Violet Tunes (STR)

Darkness: All lights are extinguished. No lights may be lit.
Eternal Dance: One who hears the song must immediately Move Along, and cannot Return to current location.
Fiery Ring: All who hear the song must make a Reaction Roll in the 0 HD column.
Ringing Silence: Those who have heard the song can hear no other sound.
The Mighty Flower: The singer may breach one barrier.

Potions

Potions are bottles of water or other liquid to which certain songs have been sung. When a potion is applied to a creature or object, it takes effect until Birdsong is heard by the recipient.

A character or denizen who can make potions can sing one of the following special songs, or can duplicate the effects of any other song that they know.

Drinking Songs

Bane: A melee weapon or missile to which the potion is applied will strike as a Tremendous weapon regardless of size.
Might: A creature to whom the potion is applied will gain STR +6.
Perspicacity: A creature to whom the potion is applied will gain WIT +6.
Stalwart: Armor to which the potion is applied will gain armor number 6.
Stealth: A creature to whom the potion is applied gains the Elusive trait.

Beast friend: You may recruit beasts. They work for food. You get +1 die larger to Reaction Rolls with beasts.

Tracker: You can Return along the path of any character who has visited your current location. This trait "defeats" the BLISS prohibition on Returning.

How do I "level up"?

You gain a Hit Die or a Song Die, or add +1 to an Ability, during your downtime after each adventure. Every third Die that you gain (e.g., 3 HD, 2 HD + 4 SD, etc.), add a trait.

Economy

Historically gold was worth about 20 times that of silver and silver was about 12 times that of copper. All prices are in silver pennies, shillings, and £.

1 pound (£) === 20 (s)hillings 

1 (s)hilling (weighs about as much as four U.S. quarters stuck together) === 12 (p)ence 

1 (p)enny (weighs slightly less than a modern U.S. dime) === 4 (f)arthings

This means a gold coin that weighs as much as a shilling is worth a pound and a copper/bronze coin that size is worth only a silver penny.

Lifestyle and Upkeep

A person can subsist off very little and many people do just that by earning about 3 pennies per month for a total of 3 shillings in a year. This hand to mouth existence is additionally supported by festivals and feast days where the sponsor of that event foots the bill and hands out alms to the poor. 

A simple lifestyle can be obtained with 6p per month.

The cost/mo for lifestyle is how much it costs to hire one of the example people.

Lifestyle	Cost/mo	Max lv	Examples
Meager	3p	0	Unskilled laborer, conscripts; Ruffians, Goblins
Simple	6p	1	Skilled labor, light infantry, archers; Watch, Travelers, Woodfolk
Decent	1s	2	Specialists, heavy infantry, crossbowmen, cavalry; Dwarves, Elves, Ogres, Visitors
Good	2s	3	Knights, guild leaders; Trolls
Rich	5s	4	Aristocrats, rich merchants; Giants
Wealthy	10s	9	Barons, bishops
Extravagant	1£+	14	High lords

A meager lifestyle isn’t pleasant but so long as you are largely sedentary it brings no other penalties. Beneath this level starvation is a real concern.

Most adventurers will live a Simple lifestyle at first and eventually seek to spend more freely. If you live at the level of your Status or above you gain XP equal to half the difference in the cost of your lifestyle. Your Status is either social such as shown in the examples, or by character level as shown in the max level column.

Provisioning

Creature	Cost/wk	Enc (pounds)
Human (or smaller)	2f	14/wk
Horse (or other large)	6f	42/wk
Larger than horse	11f	98/wk

The cost of provisioning a horse assumes available grasses to supplement fodder. Without this add an additional stone of weight and 2f per week. Beings that must eat only meat are x2 the cost.

Feeding an Ogre would cost 16f per week (8 for being large and not able to eat grass, x2 for being an obligate carnivore). Feeding a Giant or Dragon would cost 26f per week.

A mule or pack horse can carry 300 pounds in packs as a safe load at full pace (3 Moves per day). It can bear up to 500 pounds at 1 Move per day. More weight than that requires sharing the load with men, beasts or carts. Carts can only go at 2 Moves per day.

Mounts

Mounts	Safe load (lb)	Cost	Upkeep/mo
Draft	300	4s	1s
Pack	300	5s	1s
Riding	200	1£	2s
Hunting	200	5£	3s
War	300	10£	4s
Mule	300	5s	6p
Donkey	200	3s	6p

Locations

The locations of the Kingdom include villages, forests, heaths, mountains, and caverns as well as the special locations of Bliss, Threshold, and Durance.

Villages

Villages have no treasures, but do have commerce and possibly a Traveling House of the Great Old One. In a typical village, you can buy or sell provisions and common equipment. You may be able to hear the songs of Repair or Restoration. You may be able to learn various songs. You could sell treasures, but at a lower price than you could obtain in Bliss.

Village denizens include the Ruffians, the Watch, and Travelers. Visitors also come to villages fairly often.

The Traveling House

When you enter the Traveling House, you hear Birdsong. Other songs may be learned for 1s each. Part of learning a song is having it sung to you as its target. This is why the Traveling House does not teach Hymns of the Rose.

Sentry Peak

Golden Cliffs

High Seat Crag

Caverns

The caverns hold treasures. The caverns also are home to Trolls, Goblins, and Scorpions.

Hot Caves

Salt Caves

Deep Caves

Glowing Caves

Grottoes

Denizens

Denizens are not hostile by default (unless you get the Angry Denizen result on the Reaction table). Some may be hungry (dragons, wolves, and ogres especially). Those that can speak (including dragons) may choose to converse rather than attacking outright.
