Beckelhimer Plays With Himself

In the last post Fitzhugh got himself into some trouble with Minerva, the blacksmith of The Wicked Cinnabar. Now we will see what comes next for Fitzhugh and how unlucky and how very lucky the dice were for him. Is the Intoxicating Dance Taking Place? This is the first question I ask the oracle to kick things off. I ask this question with an advantage because I would assume Fitzhugh was warning Minerva shortly before this event was happening. And the result was: Yes, but ...... after taking some time I decided that it was Yes, but it is almost complete. Now is there a way for Fitzhugh to get out of this room? Looking at his character sheet and equipment I ask the oracle: Does Fitzhugh still have his vial of acid in his boot? I ask this question without an advantage so just a straight two six-sided die result for: Yes, but .....it isn't what it seems. Trapped in a Room Things are looking up for Fitzhugh now that he has this vial of acid. He is going to make a Danger Dex Roll to app...

In the last post we explored a little world building and established the first mission for Fitzhugh. Now we will explore a little more about this mission and a little more about Fitzhugh. How Does Fitzhugh Know About the Hermit? I asked this question first then decided that maybe Fitzhugh works for or is a part of a faction. I rolled on the Faction table and got: Outlander Clan And this told me that Fitzhugh is not from Vinelion. He is an outsider from another part of the world. We will explore this at a later session....if we are lucky. I then needed a name for the clan. Going through the tables I decided to combine the Wilderness Region Trait and Monster Base tables. With the first table I got Withered  then for the monster base: 1-2 Aerial, 3-4 Terrestrial and 5-6 Aquatic. I ended up with Aquatic then....the worst thing I could have rolled on this table.... Shrimp . The clan is called: Withered Shrimp ????? What kind of name is that? Anyways, I kept it. Maybe a meaning will com...

In the last post I went over the creation of our Maze Rat, Fitzhugh Carvolo. Now that we have our adventurer we need to discover how we start Fitzhugh's adventure. This is when asking questions and using (and manipulating) the tables within the rules of Maze Rats and Maze Rat come into play. Where is Fitzhugh? Rolling a single six-sided die I determine where this adventure starts. A result of 1-2 The City, 3-4 The Wild and 5-6 The Maze. The result is The City. But what is the name of The City? I decided I was going to roll on two separate tables and combine the result. But I had to skim through some of the tables to know which two I wanted to choose. I decided on the Physical Element and Inn Noun tables. The sum result was: Vinelion I also wanted to determine what the theme of the city is and what is the surrounding wilderness region. After rolling on those individual tables we now have: City : Vinelion Theme : Spices Region : Mesa So we now have a city that runs on producing/sell...

Welcome to the first (and I really hope) of many posts in my adventures in Solo RPG. The adventures of Fitzhugh Carvolo will be played with using the game system, Maze Rats by Ben Milton. I am also using the solo supplement, Maze Rat by Peter Rudin-Burgess. Character Creation Character Stats : Rolling a single six-sided die I determined that my character would have +0 in Strength, +2 in Dexterity and +1 in Will. Items : Rolling two six-sided dice six times I determined that my character had these items: Vial of Poison, Horn, Vial of Acid, Rope (50ft), Hand Drill and Hacksaw. With those stats and items I had in my head that this character would probably be more of an assassin/thief type of character. But who knows how this character will discover themselves. Gear : You start with Light Armor, Shield and Two Weapons of your choice. I house-rule that if you don't want any of the starting gear you can choose or roll on the item table. I decided the character would have Light Armor, S...
