Concepts

Because Evil Hat is amazing, they let us basically cut and paste their rules. So if it doesn’t look like it was written for a MUSHing audience, well, it wasn’t. Please do consider throwing some money at them. The list of house rules and clarifications (there aren’t many) can be found here.

 

We’ve left in all the bits addressed to the GM because anyone on Inheritance Gambit can run stories and the information might be helpful to them.

 

If you see anything that you think Staff should really address for use in a MUSH environment, please feel free to hit the “feedback” button at the bottom to make us aware of it.

 

THE EXAMPLE GAME

All of the rules examples refer to the same example game and setting. The name is Hearts of Steel, a tongue-in-cheek fantasy romp about a group of troubleshooters for hire. They traipse about the countryside and get into trouble at the behest of the various petty kings and fief lords who hire them.

The participants are Lenny, Lily, Ryan, and Amanda. Amanda is the GM. Lenny plays a thuggish swordsman named Landon. Lily plays the nimble, dashing, and dangerous Cynere, who also happens to love swords. Ryan plays Zird the Arcane, a wizard who, by contrast, has absolutely no love for swords.

Check out Evil Hat’s Game Creation to see how this game came about. They’ve included character sheets for the example PCs.
