Taking RPGaDay to 11(th)

RPGaDay2024 begins in a few hours minutes, and I have decided that I will be participating in it. This is the eleventh year of RPGaDay, and although many of the topics have been recycled, I have been persuaded by a certain article to be involved, albeit in a manner conducive to concise responses. In previous years, I used the social medium formerly known as Twitter and compiled them here in Applied Phantasticality. Last year, I simply posted them here daily. This year, I shall be using Threads and compiling them here again. [Edit: On second thought, I've decided to post my answers daily both here and on Threads.]

For this year's event, two lists of prompts have been provided by the organizers, and a third list of prompts has been offered here in Barking Alien. I shall be drawing from whichever list inspires me at the moment or substituting my own.

Be seeing you...

I'll Be the Judge of That (Postapocalyptic Adventure)

In the very near future (possibly next week), I will be running my first Mutant Crawl Classics RPG adventure. I've played a fair amount of it (and have even playtested a few adventures), but I've never run it. It will also be my first experience with MCC RPG in person, as I have previously only played it via Zoom.

Before the funnel begins, I will be implementing the following house rules, optional rules, and acts of whimsy:

• Attributes will be generated with 4d6, drop the lowest die.
• Starting hit points will be generated with 1d4, rerolling 1s.
• All birth sign lucky rolls are a flat +1 regardless of the player character's actual Luck score.
• All character classes that do not regenerate spent Luck now regenerate it at a rate of 1 point per 7 days.
• Available human character classes include Sentinel, Shaman, Healer, Rover, Warrior, Wizard, Cleric, and Thief. (Yes, this is a world of savagery, sorcery, and superscience.)
• The setting is not Terra A.D. but Catastrophe Planet. I shan't reveal the nature of the catastrophe(s) here as spoilers are the worst kind of catastrophe, but I might be using some resources by third party publishers...
• The starting point will probably be somewhere in Flo-da Ridia.

At the moment, there are two players for this particular campaign, so I will be letting them run eight 0-level characters each for the funnel. I haven't yet decided whether I will have them choose one character each to level up (and possibly give them some non-player character assistants for support), or let them choose two characters each to level up. Probably the former.

Oh, and the funnel in question will be Assault on the Sky-High Tower from the first printing of the MCC RPG rule book.
