THE FLASHVENTURE

COMPENDIUM DRAFT
WELCOME TO FLASHVENTURE

The world of Flashventure is


WHAT YOU NEED

THE DICE

Flashventure uses standard polyhedral dice to determine


outcomes in the game. These are referred to as d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20. The d stands
for dice and the number is the number of sides the dice has.

Example: A d20 means a twenty-sided-dice.

Sometimes you’ll see a number before the d as well, which means you need to
roll multiple of the same dice and add the results together.

Example: 2d4 means roll two four-sided dice and add the results together.

In addition to the six dice there’s also the enormous d100, or percentile dice. Just roll a pair
of d10’s treating one as the tens value and the other as the units value.

Example: A roll of 5 on the first d10 and a roll of 6 on the second d10 is 56.

A pair of 0’s is 100, not 0.


Sometimes rules might tell you to modify a dice roll after it’s rolled.

Example: 2d6 + 4 means you roll two, six-sided dice and add 4 to the
result.
CREATING A CHARACTER

This is where a Player’s adventure starts. If you’re playing as a character,


follow these steps one by one. You will need a Character Sheet and
Item Pouch to mark down your progress.

STEP 1: ABILITIES

As an adventurer you have four Abilities: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and


Magic.
For each Ability, roll 2d6 and write down the lower number on your
Adventurer’s Sheet next to that Ability.

Example: You roll a 2 and 4 for Strength. The smaller number is 2, so your
Strength is 2.

You may optionally swap the rolls of


two Abilities.

Any Ability of 1 is particularly ordinary, 3 is extraordinary, and anything over 5 is


otherworldly.
ST means Strength, IN means Intelligence, DX means Dexterity, and MG means Magic.
STEP 2: HEALTH POINTS

Your Health Points (HP) represent how much physical and mental trauma you can
take before you die. To determine your Hit Points, add all your abilities and add 2.
Your HP might represent your endurance, your previous injuries, or your size.

STEP 3: SPEED

Your Speed represents how far you can move in six seconds. All characters start
with a Speed of 30ft. The distance you can jump, climb, and swim is half of your Speed
(15ft). The height you can jump is a third of your Speed (10ft).
STEP 5: STARTING WEAPON

Now for your first Treasure, a weapon! Every Character starts with a
Weapon, maybe a family heirloom, a rusty tool, or a scavenged item.
Roll on the Starting Weapons table below to determine what you start with.
