Against the Robots Episode 0ne what happened in the session Well the honest answer is nothing really we had just made a some what delayed start with half the players present when the GM's internet connection went down and after around an hour of trying to work out why and fix it and failing and beginning to get rather annoyed he decided that going to bed was in order it being after one am UK time at that point so this seemed a good choice. However the pre game chat did come to the conclusion that we should perhaps run it at a more sociable time as we have people in a fair spread of time zones form GMT-6 to GMT +2 all of whom have day jobs and non gaming lives which can get in the way .

A Minor Milestone I have to pass comment as the number of page views last month was another all time record at two thousand six hundred. I am quietly chuffed as the more page views the more that gets raised to support

Some Maths for HackMaster None of this is my work but I think its well worth making as widely available as possible so this reposting is by way of helping it along
Dice Statistics Why Statistics matter Most roleplaying games are played with dice, which job is to generate a random number; these random numbers represent chance, which – without initiating a philosophical discussion – is that part of life we can’t do anything about. These numbers are further modified by our skills in the different tasks are most honoured and revered Dungeon Master / Hackmaster / Game Master – the names of this esteemed individual are many, and all rightfully said with the utmost respect when uttering this magnificent individual’s title and name – sees fit to give us, the players. Now, any Dungeon Master worth his salt would cast the evil eye upon any player trying to make decisions on, say, which weapon to choose, based on the arithmetical data provided in the books, rather than making this decision based on the colourful, vivid description given by his or her highly respectable person. This is where I, a Dungeon Master and Hackmaster, provide you with the exact knowledge you – the player – need to figure out everything you need to know to make just such choices (all the more to your Dungeon Master’s distress).
Why would you do such a thing? , you’d might ask. Well, the more you know, the better you can play; the more you understand the mechanics of the game, the better you can have informed discussions with your game’s esteemed leader, when you want to contribute and make the game even better for everyone. And, of course, all such discussions are done during breaks or between sessions . Metagaming is disrespectful to players and Dungeon Master alike, who are trying to create a mood and feel for the story everyone are participating in, and should be avoided at all costs.
For your convenience, at the end of this article, I will provide you with a link to a pdf document showing the formulae and numbers for some normal die pools. The document may be shared freely, as long as it is done so in it’s entirety. Should you quote me, feel free to
let me know .
Nomenclature and the mechanics of different die rolls Let’s get things straight right away. The
correct way to name these polyhedra we love to hate, is
one die ,
many dice . If you are interested in learning everything you need and do not need to know about dice, take a look at this excellent document by Kenzer and Company, called
On Dice . It discusses nomenclature, dice etiquette, the nature of dice (they are inherently evil, you know), how to choose which dice to purchase, what to do when good dice go bad, how to roll dice, and so on. Take a look at it; it’s a good read.
Shorthand for writing what kind of dice a player should roll, is quite simple: m dice, d , of n sides each, for example 2d6, means that a player should roll two six-sided dice and add the numbers. In many games, however, exploding dice are used. This means you get to keep rerolling the die as long as you get the maximum number, adding all together. In this article, i will denote this dice as m dn x, for example 3d6x. Using the above example, rolling 3, 6 and 5 on these three dice, and getting the series 6, 6, 6, 6, 4 on the mid die (= 28 – you get the full sum) would yield a total of 36. Now that is painful.
In Hackmaster , most die rolls are so-called penetrating dice. These are a special case of exploding dice, and are denoted by adding a p at the end, which means that a player should keep rolling as long as the player gets the die’s maximum, but deduct one for every roll past the first. An example notation would be 3d6p ; if the player rolls these three six-sided dice, and got the same numbers as above (3, 6 and 5) on these three dice, and got the same series of numbers with the mid die as above (6, 6, 6, 6, 4), he would get the following result:
Die 1: 3. Total: 3 Die 2: 6 → penetrating roll, the whole series of rolls being 6, 6, 6, 6, 4) → resulting sum of this die is 6 + (6 − 1) + (6 − 1) + (6 − 1) + (4 − 1) = 6 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 24. Die 3: 5 Result: 32. It is perhaps not as painful as with the regular exploding die, but three six-sided dice yielding 32 damage still hurts like hell.
The different die rolls Regular die rolls, dn , rolls with a regular die, where n is the number of sides of the die Everyone probably already know the basic formula for calculating the expected result of a standard die roll. If your die has n , numbered 1 through n , your expected result will be (n + 1) ÷ 2. For a six-sided die (from now on: d6), this yields the following: (n + 1) ÷ 2 = (6 + 1) ÷ 2 = 7 ÷ 2 = 3½ But, wait a minute? Half of 6 is 3, isn’t it? Yes, of course, but half of a d6 is not the same. Just take a look at the numbers a d6 can yield: 1, 2, 3 [halfpoint] 4, 5, 6 As you can see, there are three numbers to the left of half-point, and three numbers to the right. What’s midway between 3 and 4? The number 3½ of course. To find the average for any regular n -sided die, add 1 to n and divide the sum by two.
Exploding die rolls, dn x, where you get to keep rolling and add the numbers, for as long as you roll the maximum Eric T. Dobbs wrote
a great article about these dice a couple of years ago, in which he shows how he came to a formula correctly giving the expected result for an
n -sided exploding die. Here’s his conclusion:
For any N-sided die numbered 1 to N with all sides equally likely, the exploding modifier will increase the die’s expected value by a factor of N ÷ (N − 1). In other words, you get the following formula:
((n + 1) ÷ 2) × (n ÷ (n − 1)) (Eric Dobb’s) which may be shortened to (n ² + n ) ÷ (2n − 2) (by me (any mistakes are mine)) Penetrating die rolls, dn p, where you get to keep rolling and add the numbers, for as long as you roll the maximum, but deduct 1 on every roll after the first Surprisingly, the formula for figuring out the expected value for a penetrating die roll, is incredibly simple. Now, Mr Dobbs didn’t have the time to do it mathematically, so he did some number crunching instead, and ended up with this:
½n + 1
It’s quite beautiful in it’s simplicity, isn’t it? With this simple formula, anyone can do the math in their heads.
The special case of the thief’s backstab ability in Hackmaster In the game Hackmaster , a thief may make a backstab if using a knife or dagger. This allows him to make damage amounting to 2d4p, but his or her dice penetrate on the maximum and second highest number . This surprisingly makes the backstab attack preferable to wielding larger weapons. A thief’s backstab is in fact better than weapons that do d12p damage, and matches weapons that do 2d6p or 2d12p+1 damage. The formula for calculating a thief’s special backstab damage, is as follows, again with courtesy of Mr Dobbs:
(n ² + n − 4) ÷ (2n − 4)
Expected damage with the puny dagger is in fact 8 full points of damage; that’ just average damage…
How to abu… use this power Finally you can figure out how to do the most damage, as effectively as possible and with mathematical precision! Are you better off going for the 1d12 og 2d6 damage weapon? Should the Hackmaster thief opt for the simple dagger, or put his wagers on something more stalwart, such as a sword? I hope the formulae provided will be benefitial in your search for the best weapons and tactics. I did the calculations, so any errors are mine. I also did the shortening of ((n + 1) ÷ 2) × ( n ÷ (n − 1)) to (n² + n) ÷ (2n − 2); if anything was wrong in how that was done, the error is mine. And here is the document i promised:

If have slowed right down Its because I have a stinking cold at the moment yesterday I was going down with it which is why when I sat down to do something on here I didn't and just went to sleep fro twelve hours. I fortunately woke up in time for work but with a foul cold which is just about easing off now thanks to a steady attack of over the counter drugs various and the fact is probably running its cause any way.
I am at present also occupied in getting set for next weeks company of fools game as I seem cold not withstanding have beaten work into a state of control such that I was going to be able to combine work and gaming again indeed tonight's alternate game was supposed to be something of a dress rehearsal for that. Except I have afore mentioned stinking cold and much prefer deploying psychological cruelty against my player group than the biological kind. Also as default party leader in the alternate game I actually have to thing and herd the rest of the players in something like the right direction. The Gm is almost as old twisted and evil as I am likes to keep me on my toes so I do have to be fully fit.
any way after the lull comes more stuff

Somthing for the future A conversion of the map for one of the parts of the second
Iron Gods book It started of as a tracing of the map from the PDF but has been adapted and indeed is still being adapted as I work it into my bespoke setting. an this has included inserting a base layer which is the same one used for most of my northern wilds battle mats
I have quite a lot more work to do on this yet and I may not be needing it for some time however I wanted to get it up here and show it off as its the first attempt I have made at such a thing.

Advancing the Cause HackMaster Books incoming PHB
HoB
In association with
Spirit Games May be making Progress on the Getting HackMaster Core Rule Books back into Europe project. I will keep you updated on this.
However when the books come back into stock I will be going into Demo Frenzy and more or less any one who wants a go at HackMaster will get the chance.
I am also after a PHB & HOB as an additional copy of the books always comes in handy and a GMG when the book is published

More from the People we suport a Wild goose chase with a happy ending
Vulnerable Goose...
Two days ago we were called out to Mercia Marina near Willington regarding a Canada goose that seemed to be partially blind. Residents were feeding her as she was being bullied by the other geese and also swans, however on Tuesday evening they became concerned for her welfare when a visiting member of the public decided to kick her, full force into the water. This upset many residents who them decided to call is for help.
When we arrived, the goose was obviously very nervous of people after her experience and took to the water quickly. Once she was in the water we noticed she was swimming around in circles and it was evident she could only see out of her left eye. We threw her some bread which she ate then we made a plan on how to capture her.
The Rescued Goose
As she was blind in her right eye, we decided to use this to our advantage. We coaxed her out of the water and further onto land with bread. We then approached her from her right side and, before she had time to process what was going on, we managed to grab her. She put up a fight but then gave in.
We took her back to the sanctuary and put her into a paddock with other geese. She should settle into the group and then she will be offered full roam of the main field and pond area.

Some thoughts on converting Pathfinder creatures to HackMater Since I am doing this quite a bit a the moment I thought I would share some of my admittedly rather quick and dirty methods of doing it with you.
These rules apply to the unique stuff rather than to the creatures both systems share an Orc etc is an Orc even if you do need to adjust the numbers as an Orc in HackMaster is a nastier prospect than one in Pathfinder and I might consider swapping it out for say a goblin in low level adventures. Starting with the Pathfinder stat block Animated Object (Large) - created with Hero Lab®The skeleton locked within rattles as this animated cage lurches forward on chain legs in search of new prisoners.

Going to Lincoln today Complications
Today I am going to be mostly distracted by going to Lincoln to deal with the fan faecal matter event which is ongoing over there so I will almost certainly get behind with the Bloging not that I am not fully aware I am already miles behind on that score.

I have quite a lot more work to do on this yet and I may not be needing it for some time however I wanted to get it up here and show it off as its the first attempt I have made at such a thing.
WIP TWO
A bit more work done in particular trying to give the three dimensional effect that the original map I traced form had to the fortress walls in particular

I am now going to go off and work on improving some of the common map textures for a bit particularly that of the flowers so common in the north in the short summer.
