 ===== Play Sample =====
-<html>
+**GM:** Okay, let's get started. Go ahead and roll your abilities, but don't tell them to me yet. Just tell me your character's name, how many hits you take, and anything special about your class.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Okay, let's get started. Go ahead and roll your abilities, but don't tell them to me yet. Just tell me your character's name, how many hits you take, and anything special about your class.</p>
+**Peter:** Okay, I'm playing Paul the fighter. He takes 4 hits and deals 1 hit per attack.
+**Gretchen:** I'm playing Gurney the rogue. He takes 3 hits, and subtracts 1 from his ability rolls.
+**Jim:** And I'm playing Jessica the wizard. She takes 2 hits, and she's memorized the <em>fire bolt</em> spell.
+**GM:** Great! You were all on a merchant vessel that was hit in a bad storm. You were swept into a bay and foundered near a small lumber village. The village elder, Zana, welcomed you all to spend the night in a storehouse. In the middle of the night, you're awakened by a cry of alarm. Lizardlings!
+**Gretchen:** What are those?
+**GM:** Imagine velociraptors that can throw spears.
+**Peter:** Hoo boy. I jump up and run outside.
+**GM:** It's pandemonium. People are running everywhere, screaming. There's a low fire on the east side of the village. On its far side, just outside of the woods to the east of the village, a couple of lizardlings are lashing out with crude spears at a knot of villagers who are desperately trying to defend themselves with hatchets and staffs. If you all want to use the zone rules, then that area is a combat zone.
+**Jim:** I follow Paul out of the storehouse.
+**Gretchen:** Me, too, but I try to stay out of sight.
+**GM:** Okay, Gretchen, make an ability roll using your dexterity. That's a d6 roll, trying to roll equal to or less than your dexterity score. And since you're a rogue, lower whatever you roll by 1.
+**Gretchen:** Okay. I have a dexterity of 5, so that shouldn't be a problem. And I roll...a 4, so 1 minus that makes it a 3.
+**GM:** Good, you stay out of sight.
+**Gretchen:** I'm sneaking around the campfire to flank the lizardlings.
+**GM:** Great! How about the rest of you?
+**Peter:** I draw my sword and run at the lizardlings.
-<p><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Peter:</span> Okay, I'm playing Paul the fighter. He takes 4 hits and deals 1 hit per attack.</p>
+**Jim:** I want to stay back and see if I can figure out the lizardlings' tactics.
-<p><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Gretchen:</span> I'm playing Gurney the rogue. He takes 3 hits, and subtracts 1 from his ability rolls.</p>
+**GM:** Okay, while Peter charges towards the fight and Gurney sneaks around the campfire, Jim I want you to make an intelligence roll. Again, that's d6, and you want to get no more than your intelligence. Which is...?
-<p><span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Jim:</span> And I'm playing Jessica the wizard. She takes 2 hits, and she's memorized the <em>fire bolt</em> spell.</p>
+**Jim:** My intelligence is 4, so that's not so bad. I roll a 2! Whew.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Great! You were all on a merchant vessel that was hit in a bad storm. You were swept into a bay and foundered near a small lumber village. The village elder, Zana, welcomed you all to spend the night in a storehouse. In the middle of the night, you're awakened by a cry of alarm. Lizardlings!</p>
+**GM:** Good. You see one beefier lizardling in the back, gesturing with a fine hatchet. He's ordering around three lizardlings in front of him; they're using crude spears. In fact, by rolling that well, you also notice movement in the woods: two more lizardlings with simple bows. They're in another zone.
-<p><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Gretchen:</span> What are those?</p>
+**Jim:** I call out to Paul: "There are two in the woods! And watch out for the leader; he's a big one!"
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Imagine velociraptors that can throw spears.</p>
+**GM:** Okay, Paul should be arriving at the zone next since Gurney's still sneaking. Who is Paul attacking?
-<p><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Peter:</span> Hoo boy. I jump up and run outside.</p>
+**Peter:** Hmmm. I hear Jessica's warning, right?
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> It's pandemonium. People are running everywhere, screaming. There's a low fire on the east side of the village. On its far side, just outside of the woods to the east of the village, a couple of lizardlings are lashing out with crude spears at a knot of villagers who are desperately trying to defend themselves with hatchets and staffs. If you all want to use the zone rules, then that area is a combat zone.</p>
+**GM:** Definitely. The first three lizardlings are in front of you, with their leader behind them, and the archers are even further away.
-<p><span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Jim:</span> I follow Paul out of the storehouse.</p>
+**Peter:** Okay, I'll slash at the nearest lizardling, then.
-<p><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Gretchen:</span> Me, too, but I try to stay out of sight.</p>
+**GM:** Okay, make an attack roll. That's 1d6, trying to roll 5 or 6. Do you want to use the zone rules?
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Okay, Gretchen, make an ability roll using your dexterity. That's a d6 roll, trying to roll equal to or less than your dexterity score. And since you're a rogue, lower whatever you roll by 1.</p>
+**Peter:** Sure.
-<p><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Gretchen:</span> Okay. I have a dexterity of 5, so that shouldn't be a problem. And I roll...a 4, so 1 minus that makes it a 3.</p>
+**GM:** In that case, you get "advantage," because you're using your sword on an enemy in the same zone. So you need to roll 4, 5, or 6.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Good, you stay out of sight.</p>
+**Peter:** And...I roll a 5. Sweet!
-<p><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Gretchen:</span> I'm sneaking around the campfire to flank the lizardlings.</p>
+**GM:** You swing and cut right through him! He goes down with just that one hit. His companion tries a desperate counter-attack...and rolls a 2, so he misses. The other lizardlings are still tied up with the villagers, so they're not going to attack. Gretchen, you've been patient. What do you want to do?
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Great! How about the rest of you?</p>
+**Gretchen:** I hear Jessica's warning, too, so I want to jump out of the darkness and attack the leader.
-<p><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Peter:</span> I draw my sword and run at the lizardlings.</p>
+**GM:** Cool! He's guarding himself from the village, but he's not expecting a side attack. That means you get advantage, so you hit if you roll 4, 5, or 6. Make an attack roll!
-<p><span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Jim:</span> I want to stay back and see if I can figure out the lizardlings' tactics.</p>
+**Gretchen:** And I roll a 4!
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Okay, while Peter charges towards the fight and Gurney sneaks around the campfire, Jim I want you to make an intelligence roll. Again, that's d6, and you want to get no more than your intelligence. Which is...?</p>
+**GM:** Good thing you had that advantage! He takes 1 hit, but that won't take him down. Your sword connects with the leader, who snarls and turns at you. His well-worn hatchet gleams in the moonlight as he slices it at you...but he rolls a 1!.
-<p><span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Jim:</span> My intelligence is 4, so that's not so bad. I roll a 2! Whew.</p>
+**Gretchen:** Phew.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Good. You see one beefier lizardling in the back, gesturing with a fine hatchet. He's ordering around three lizardlings in front of him; they're using crude spears. In fact, by rolling that well, you also notice movement in the woods: two more lizardlings with simple bows. They're in another zone.</p>
+**GM:** Meanwhile, remember those archers? They see Gurney attacking their leader and let their arrows fly at him.
-<p><span style="color:red;font-weight:bold">Jim:</span> I call out to Paul: "There are two in the woods! And watch out for the leader; he's a big one!"</p>
+**Gretchen:** Uh-oh.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Okay, Paul should be arriving at the zone next since Gurney's still sneaking. Who is Paul attacking?</p>
+**GM:** One archer rolls 3 and misses, but the other rolls a 6. So, Gurney takes an arrow to the arm.
-<p><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Peter:</span> Hmmm. I hear Jessica's warning, right?</p>
+**Gretchen:** That's okay; I can still take 3 more hits before I go down.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Definitely. The first three lizardlings are in front of you, with their leader behind them, and the archers are even further away.</p>
+**Jim:** My turn again?
-<p><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Peter:</span> Okay, I'll slash at the nearest lizardling, then.</p>
+**GM:** Sure!
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Okay, make an attack roll. That's 1d6, trying to roll 5 or 6. Do you want to use the zone rules?</p>
+**Jim:** I want to cast my <em>fire bolt</em> at the archers.
-<p><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Peter:</span> Sure.</p>
+**GM:** Great! Make an attack roll.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> In that case, you get "advantage," because you're using your sword on an enemy in the same zone. So you need to roll 4, 5, or 6.</p>
+**Jim:** Do I get advantage for attacking at range from 2 zones away?
-<p><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Peter:</span> And...I roll a 5. Sweet!</p>
+**GM:** That only applies to weapons, not spells, I'm afraid. And the archers can see you all, so no advantage there. You'll hit on a 5 or 6.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> You swing and cut right through him! He goes down with just that one hit. His companion tries a desperate counter-attack...and rolls a 2, so he misses. The other lizardlings are still tied up with the villagers, so they're not going to attack. Gretchen, you've been patient. What do you want to do?</p>
+**Jim:** And I roll a 6! A bolt of fire leaps out from my fingers and streaks into the woods. It explodes on one of the lizardlings!
-<p><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Gretchen:</span> I hear Jessica's warning, too, so I want to jump out of the darkness and attack the leader.</p>
+**GM:** And it squeals and collapses to the ground! Mind you, you now have a pile of flaming lizardling among a bunch of trees.
-<p><span style="font-weight:bold">GM:</span> Cool! He's guarding himself from the village, but he's not expecting a side attack. That means you get advantage, so you hit if you roll 4, 5, or 6. Make an attack roll!</p>
+**Jim:** ...Uh-oh.
-<p><span style="color:green;font-weight:bold">Gretchen:</span> And I roll a 4!</p>
