GUBQUEST: The Search for Lorenzo

GUBQUEST IS GO!

The gubs of Tripolo are in trouble; Gargok plague threatens, and there are rumours of wasps and worse than wasps. In fact, everything seems to be pointing to the end of the world as they know it. Gubmanda, the Esteemed Elder of the colony has gathered the bravest, strongest and most skilled gubs and sent them on a quest to locate the mysterious, semi-legendary wandering holy gub, Lorenzo!The gubs will have to find their way through treacherous forests and caves, and find the Wandering Toad Palace of Lorenzo; a constantly mobile toad-borne dwelling. Then they’ll have to get him back to Tripolo in time to save everyone!

On Friday 9th we will create our heroic warrior Gubs (and probably play some Gubs also!) To this end, I have create some campaign specific rules for GubQuest which will fit in with the usual Dice Chucker rule set.

Will you choose to play a powerful warrior gub, resplendent in Shell Helm and bearing a powerful Thorn Axe? Or perhaps a skillful scout? What about a powerful singer, with a repertoire of magical songs? 

Since the Gubs card game doesn't have much of a backstory, I've made up all sorts of weapons and things you can have. To get the creative juices flowing, here are some samples:

• ·      Fungus club: A small club made from a mushroom. DL: 3
• ·      Grass Bow: A bow made from bent grass stalks, firing arrows made from thorn. Range: 8/12/16, DL :3
• 
  
• ·      Leaf Armour: Armour made from thick leaves. AL: 2
• ·      Shell Shield: A shield made from a different kind of nut shell. AL: 1
• 
  
• ·      Song of Courage (TN: 10): All Gubs within 6 squares get +2 to any attacks they make.
• ·      Song of Saftey (TN: 10): All Gubs within 6 can resist traps on  a 4+.

Naturally, none of this is officially endorssed by Game Wright, manufacturers of Gubs. But since we all love Gubs so much, I'm sure no one will mind if we create our own silly home brew RPG for it, as long as we never try to sell it or anything.

Oh, and I will be doing some paper figures next week. Probably. I am pretty busy with Face/Off, Little Wars and comissions...
