Necro Campaign Scenarios

[Agincourt]

Do you think the loot itself is ok? Ie is it too much or too little? I wanted to put in a couple of nice rare items, and having the creds added directly to the stash means they count for more.

Good question! Having thought about it some...

Again I looked at the Scavenger scenario for an 'official' loot related guide. The loot is only 1d6 markers, value 1d6*5 creds each. So on average you would be fighting over 3.5 markers worth 17.5 creds = 61 creds TOTAL.

Here you are guaranteeing 110 creds + gear + shiny gear. In this simple comparison that's A LOT!!! The risk for the game designer must ultimately be that one player gets the lot, after all he who is left on the battlefield takes all remaining loot.

So knee jerk would be to reduce by half.

However, generally in the spirit of gaming fun then I think the metric is: The higher the risk, the greater the reward...

Consequently, you could up the anti on risk. All loot has a 50/50 chance of being booby trapped 1-3 on d6, by (I am so) Mad Jake. You then have a list of traps, some of which are very nasty. At this level of reward you have to be looking at serious risk of death. So at very least a major blast that automatically takes you out, has a chance of destroying your kit, (and the loot destroyed!), showers you in acid, etc.

Maybe in the aftermath the 'free' loot that's left hidden is 'obviously' the hardest to find and most likely to be trapped (-1 on the roll)...

As an extra... there is room to make this a three or four player scenario. One player becomes Mad Jake and his menagerie. And once attacked Jake might have an emergency help button to press, either some space marines arrive after 3 turns (3 player), or jake has a deal with another gang and gang three comes in to defend/rescue him for half of his treasure (un-trapped!).

Really cool idea this mate - lots of potential...
