Carouse! a 5E carousing extension

[bayne7400]

First off this was so much fun to make to be able to come up with the boons and the consequences. Also I plan to update this as DMs give feedback. Still plenty of rooms to add my table entries.

All the entries were written so they can apply to any type of character using gender neutral pronouns as best as I could. Some actually take whole new meanings if your have female characters or perhaps playing something like a half orc (who is in drag?!). I hope you guys enjoy it and can use it in your campaigns.

***Enable from top left corner of the Party Sheet***


The more your players paint the town the more extreme their boons and consequences can become. I took many hours to come up with these. I tried to make them a tad humorous and I wanted them to add to your story that you are making. So there are lots of story, adventure and quest hooks built in. Maybe you meet and befriend a well to do NPC? Maybe you win a deed to an abandoned mine? Maybe you wake up in an alley covered in cats?! It is all here for you! See the video below for details. Most importantly you can hide the results from the players so the story is in your control.

I will be putting out a DnD classic version to be used with 1e/2e/PF/DCC/OSE in the future. Now Live!

Looks a lot of fun, it isn't clear from your video where does the carousing window sit? How do you enable it etc.

[bayne7400]

Top left corner of the party sheet. It is always enabled:)

[Leprekorn]

Great to hear

This is great and makes role-playing easy. One request: I use the Open Sans font available at: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/36/view. It has a slightly larger default font size that ruins the layout of your window. Hopefully there would be a way to change your Carouse window to be resizable? If not, perhaps make it a bit larger with spacers for those of us that use larger fonts.

I will open it up for you thanks for the feedback

[bayne7400]

Ok give that a try.

Just wait until they run into the Dwarf and win the deed to the abandoned mine. It could hijack your entire campaign.

[ironsplitter]

Wow! Thanks, it looks great!

Another thought for feedback, this time on function not form, is to consider enabling sharing of the window to players. I think they would enjoy entering in the amount of carousing funds and enhance the suspense by clicking the 'Start Carousing' button. Perhaps the consequences could be hidden from their view and be up to the GM to roll.

[bayne7400]

Unfortunately I ran your request through this carouse extension and this is what it came up with.

"[Diseased] Make a Con Save become diseased for 2d4 days (all attack and a skill rolls at -2) You awaken covered in household waste with a band of pigs grazing on the refuse covering your body. You are not sure how you got got in the pig sty but you quickly realize you are naked and someone drew an arrow above your navel pointing down. When you look down..."

Its a bigger lift to do that so Ill put it on the list. It took me two months to get the turn tracker on my OSE ruleset though so could be a bit.

[bayne7400]

New OSR version out on Forge. This one works across multiple rulesets.

[Ghengis]

This looks really fun! A couple asks that would be really useful for some of us DMs:
1. A way to change the coin denomination (example: using silver instead of gold)
2. Access to the table used to generate results, and a way to customize

[bayne7400]

Did you notice the custom table entry on the panel?

[Ghengis]

I haven't downloaded yet, so no. Unless you mean there was another way to spot this before buying an enabling.

Is there a default table we can look at, and use to modify or as a base template? Sorry if I'm asking any dumb questions here.

[bayne7400]

My recommendation is to buy it try it and if you don't want it ask for a refund. You have 30 days.

[Bearded Wonder]

I very much like the extension. I have a few players that take their chances regularly and everyone at the table seems pretty entertained by what happens. I do seem to get the same roll results a lot in terms of narrative outcomes. They've gotten the one with winning the "luck" potion a couple of times along with a couple of others. When I click on the custom table entry for both boons and consequences the table that pops up doesn't show any of the current entries and it throws an error: Script execution error: [string "CoreRPG:..n/scripts/button_stringcycler.lua"]:73: createChild: Invalid argument 1

Not sure if those 2 factors are related or not but I would love the ability to look at the stock results, boons and consequences tables to adjust them slightly and add additional lines to better match the specific campaign setting.

[bayne7400]

I'll take a look today at both. Thanks

[bayne7400]

So is this the one you are rereferring to?

"[Lucky Night] You cleaned out everyone in the tavern playing dragon dice last night. Not only are you 2d6 x20 gp richer but you won a potion off of a local wizard. The label on the bottle says 'Luck'\n\n Note:This is obviously some sort of luck potion. DM decides what it does"

That as a 1% chance (only hits on a roll of 25) There are some that have a 4% chance but this is not one of them.

Can you tell me what exactly on this picture you are clicking on for the error?

Those blanks are for custom tables to override my internal table. You CANNOT edit the included tables inside FG. You can make your own roll able table. If your link button is showing then that is weird. Hit the clear button and see it if resolves it. the idea is to drag and drop your own table into this spot. I did this on 5e if you using a different ruleset then let me know.

[Bearded Wonder]

Okay, I am running 5e so same ruleset. The Lucky Night is one that has come up a few times. I want to say 3 times out of less than 40 rolls but I didn't keep track. Enough times close enough together for it to stick in my mind as an example. To the right of the horizontal line under Boon and Consequence there was a link to a blank table that I hadn't created and clicking on that is what threw the error. When I hit clear the links disappeared.

Sounds like custom tables can fully override both the boons and the consequences, is there a spot that overrides the Carousing Result as well? I don't really want to fully override all of your hard work because the results have been entertaining so far. I just want the ability to add to it or edit slightly to make it fit my Eberron campaign world. For example I would link the inheriting the mine example to some additional tables with dwarf clan name, location in the Mror Holds and what used to be mined from it.

[bayne7400]

Yeah it only overrides the boon or consequence tables. The positive negative and neutral outcomes have a 33% chance modified by charisma and amount spent.
