    -
  1. Build stables
    2. -
  2. Assign horses to compete or rest

HORSE SPIRIT

+

Start every game with a pool of at least nine dice. This is your +Spirit pool. It represents your horse’s wild, untamed, noble +essence.

+

At some point, you will choose to gamble away your horse’s Spirit in +order to win competitions.

+

If you finished last session with more than nine dice in your pool, +begin the next session with that many. If you finished last session with +less than nine, begin the next session with nine.

+

HORSE SPORTS

+

Each Horse Sport has an associated Horse Quality. To compete in a +Horse Sport you will assemble and roll a Horse Sport dice pool. Your +Horse Sport dice pool is made up of a Gift, your Type modifier, and +Spirit:

+
    +

  • Always start with 1 dice. This is a Horse Gift. Don’t question +it, accept it. You never look a horse gift in the mouth.

    • +

  • Add a number of dice equal to your Horse Type modifier (+0, +1, +or +2) for this kind of Horse Sport.

    • +

  • Add as many dice from your Horse Spirit pool as you are willing +to gamble, between 0 and your Spirit max.

    • +
+

Once you have assembled your Horse Sport dice pool, then it’s time to +roll all those dice! Here’s how to interpret the results.

+
    +

  • WHINNY: If any die shows a 1, then you win! Describe a favorable +outcome. Add 1 die to your Horse Spirit pool.

    • +

  • NEIGH: If there are no 1s, then you have lost the Horse Sport +competition. Describe a less than favorable outcome. Also your horse +loses Spirit: any dice you have gambled from your Horse Spirit pool are +lost.

    • +
+

RAZZLEDAZZLE SPORTS

These Horse Sports require agility, precision, and showmanship.

  1. Ring Jousting: the horse must carry its rider so +that they can spear and capture a ring with their jousting +instrument

+

HORSE CLONING

+

At any point you can create a new horse by splitting your current +SPIRIT pool into two piles. Keep one pile for your original horse, and +give the other one to your new horse.

+

Give your new horse a Type, a Look, and a Name.

+

HORSE RETIREMENT

+

There may come a time when it is appropriate for your horse to retire +and go out to pasture. This might be because they have had a long and +accomplished Horse Sports career. Maybe they had an injury or their +Spirit is broken by a particularly devastating defeat.

+

Nothing mechanically needs to be done for this. Just imagine a +beautiful grassy pasture for them to graze in. You can visit them any +time you want, and they will be happy to see you.

+

+TABLE: HORSE MAGIC +
+
+

Here’s the deal with horse magic. Roll 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.

+

Flexible magic: Optionally roll twice, and then choose any two words +from the rows that you rolled.

+

HORSE PLOT

+

Ways to use the plot generator:

+
    +

  1. Roll d6. Read the WHO the WANTS and the BUT. This is the plot for +your game.

    2. +

  2. Roll d6 three times. Once for WHO, once for WANTS, and once for +BUT. This creates a more random, zanier plot for your game.

    3. +

  3. 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.
