Here's the deal with horse magic. Roll on @tmagic from two columns of your choice at the beginning of each session.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
For example, I just rolled for _adjective noun_ and got a 12 and a 3. That's _shady whip_. Spooky!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now it's all about interpreting the spell's meaning, and negotiating its
|
|||
|
|
impact and effect.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Horse magic is freeform. The only rule is that it costs dice from your
|
|||
|
|
SPIRIT pool. A minor effect probably costs 1 or 2 SPIRIT. A medium
|
|||
|
|
effect, 3 or 4. A large effect could cost 6 or more!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can roll for a new horse spell at the beginning of each session, or
|
|||
|
|
when the fiction calls for it. e.g. after a momentous event, after a
|
|||
|
|
significant rest, etc.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Optionally roll twice, and then choose any one word
|
|||
|
|
from each of the rows that you rolled.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
== HORSE PLOT <horse-plot>
|
|||
|
|
Ways to use @tplot:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ *Straightforward*: Roll d6. Read the WHO the WANTS and the BUT from left to
|
|||
|
|
right. This is the plot for your game.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ *Ramdomized*: Roll d6 three times. Once for WHO, once for WANTS, and once for BUT.
|
|||
|
|
This creates a more random, zanier plot for your game.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
+ *Imaginative*: Do any or none or both of the above. Look at the results and let them
|
|||
|
|
spark your imagination. Come up with your own characters, motivations,
|
|||
|
|
and complications.

|
*THE OLD WATERING HOLE*: There is a wise old farmhand here.
|
|||
|
|
What a glorious mustache they have. The old watering hole is shady and
|
|||
|
|
cool and its muddy banks are welcoming to all creatures, tame and
|
|||
|
|
wild. There is a large, large tree here, its branches reaching out
|
|||
|
|
over the water.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*THE PASTURE*: Green, green grass as far as the eye can see.
|
|||
|
|
Troy, a retired show horse, can be found here and will happily
|
|||
|
|
reminisce about their glory days to anybody who will listen.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*THE STABLES*: Where the horses are stabled and groomed. The
|
|||
|
|
farrier shoes the horses out back.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*THE RACETRACK*: Kids and spectators crowd the fences to see
|
|||
|
|
the horses race by. Small fortunes are made and lost each afternoon.

|
|||
|
|
of all varieties are held in the infield.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
*THE VET*: Where horses go to get better. Dr. Arizona Chance is
|
|||
|
|
working on perfecting her groundbreaking horse massage technique.
