There's a Dungeon magazine adventure that I've run a few times called "Necropolis." The village is named "Wargrave" after the battlefield it lies near, but it's overshadowed by a large cemetery. The plot revolves around a betrayed general and his thirst for revenge beyond the grave, but I really liked how austere and solemn it felt in our campaign. This village has little to offer travelers and the war is a somber reality for them rather than something to boast over. It's a stark contrast to the showy hyper-patriotism of post-9/11 America that I experienced as a kid. At least in my reading, it kind of gives the players pause to think about the real cost of conquest.

Another I'm fond of is Matt Colville's Delian Tomb. He describes one of the chambers as an offering room where mourners would go to pay respects to fallen knights. I like to imagine people keeping the tomb swept and braziers lit in a showing of respect. It's overrun by goblins in the adventure, but the PC's are essentially given the chance to do right by the fallen order of knights and even take up their mantle. Pretty cool.

Mostly, I think we've encountered more personal memorials. I've had a few characters who kept rings from fallen PC's. It's nice for RP, but it also sort of keeps the memory of the PC's alive too.

Aaaw, thanks, Helen. If anything I always loved to write stories as a kid, so it`s fun to see the ability is still there.

Thanks for the insight! I didn`t dare to assume the age of a deck of cards, but I thought it was older than the 1700s, by far. Yeah, if they aren`t written down and taken care of the ancient games will unfortunately die away... A shoe box, you say? I will try to keep that in mind and not go over that number. For now I have them in a mini drawer, where they don`t even take up half the drawer still, so I am good...but we will see what future brings...

I enjoyed your write-up! I've played this and was nowhere near as imaginative as you! I'd like to read more of your hedgehog's travels.

I’ve got too many decks of cards, but thankfully they’re small enough that the lot of them fit in a shoebox.

A couple of great *modern* solitaires are Scoundrel and The Bogey.

Cards may not be ancient but they’re at least 700-1000 years old. We’ve lost most of the old games however, and what we play today are usually from the last 150 years or so.

Ok, but why not just use the Fate Check (pp. 26 and 195 of Mythic Game Master Emulator Second Edition)? It already uses a 2d10 roll (plus modifier).

I actually covered my problems with the Fate Check in my first post here. Nothing’s really changed in my opinions in the couple years since then.

Also, I’ve been looking at how to use this with the Ranks of the RPG Lite system that’s always been a possible option for Mythic GME. I went digging through my collection of Mythic magazines, and found the article on issue 13 about using Ranks with the Fate Check and GME Deck. Since this system works the same as the deck, that advice ports right across.
