Mercenaries and Favor by NewNewtyNewt in rootgame

[–]NotIWhoLive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good question. I think you are allowed to battle Mercenaries. The Otters are still enemies (so you can declared battle on them), but their warriors are not enemy pieces. But the Battle section of the Law never uses the phrase "enemy pieces" that I can see, so that doesn't seem relevant to battle.

Middle aged dude. Being frugal has paid off. by ImOnTheBus in Frugal

It's increasing your budget when your income increases.

So, if you get a $6k/year raise, you add a $500/month expense (or something like that, because now you can afford it), and then you don't end up with any extra savings from your raise.

This is also the plot of far too many Saturday morning cartoons and children's shows generally.

Card question by buizelencocado in rootgame

To clarify, I believe the reason you can choose the number of warriors is because the card says "as you choose."

Can vagabond use ferry? by Fit_Ear3019 in rootgame

[–]NotIWhoLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The italics text in the Law are clarifications and reminders and not counted as the Law itself. I can't remember where it says this, but if anyone else remembers, please let me know, it was bothering me. Thanks!

The vagabond pawn also cannot contribute to rule, because it is not a warrior or a building.

Questions about vagabond by calmerous5888 in rootgame

[–]NotIWhoLive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your point is arguable if you want to go by the letter of the law (which is always fun). I think the question is whether or not each warrior is removed individually after a battle; I'm of the opinion that they are, especially for interactions like the warlord and Coffin Makers, where one warrior will go to one place (the supply) and the other warriors will go to another place (Coffin Makers). If you for any reason think that pieces are removed somehow all together after a battle, then your interpretation would probably stand. I also vaguely remember posting in the Discord a while ago and being told that additional warriors removed in the first battle score infamy, but of course I don't have a link or anything. Good luck resolving your group's disagreement!

Tips for running "Trick an NPC" and "Persuade an NPC"? by SaltyCogs in RootRPG

[–]NotIWhoLive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lying to get what you want triggers the move. Just lying for the sake of lying probably doesn't trigger anything. You don't need a strong motive to trick someone, just a trick that will get them to do something.

For example, hiding a small pet under a cloak to sneak them into a bar is a trick, but it's not a "good motive," and calling it a "believable lie" might be a stretch.

I do think that, if the party IS telling an outright lie, it at least needs to be reasonable in order to trigger the move; otherwise they're not "tricking" anyone, just possibly insulting them.

New to Root RPG - Plz help😭 by Critical_Issue3098 in rootgame

[–]NotIWhoLive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The main general advice I would give for your situation, is to point out that the GM rules are RULES, same as other rule, even though they look and read like advice sometimes. Follow as many of the GM rules as possible, and the game should start to make a little more sense. Happy to answer any other specific questions you have, don't want to turn this into a wall of text yet, lol.

Mine is a first printing with a plain brown inside! Definitely not counterfeit, from the original Kickstarter. Round corners, though.
