The GLOG - Brunch Edition

A.K.A. The BLOG

By Wayne K.

Introduction

This ruleset is for my personal games and most everything in here has been recycled, stripped, and/or outright stolen from many different
sources, but is primarily a copy-paste of Arnold K’s OG GLOG found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxVHEMMjLlZ4Z0c2aG9ZbnpKUlE/view ,
and Skerples’ Spiked Goblin Punch found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wOAkBOCUSjnthMEnIsPVT1LSOCQzd88j/view?usp=sharing editing
to my liking. It owes itself to the GLOG scene (specifically Pandaemonium, Many Rats on a Stick, & The OG GLOG), the White and Black Hacks,
TROIKA! By Daniel Sell, B/X D&D, 5e D&D, and a couple of ideas from Into the Odd . This whole document can be seen as an effort to piece together
many of the scattered elements of the GlOG-osphere for ease of use, a few additions from other sources, and maybe a handful of original ideas.
I’ll attempt to credit and link to where some of the more unique things were taken from, where appropriate. If there aren’t credits assume that it’s
stolen.

For now, while an attempt has been made to make this as friendly as possible to newer players and GM not familiar with Old School Gaming,
explanations may be brief, and many assumptions about knowledge of TTRPGs made. If this is being handed to you, ask the Game Runner/Master
for further explanation on topics unclear.

The first 3/4ths of this document are occupied by character creation and classes (so many classes). The rules themselves are placed behind all
that so you’ll have some abilities and what-not followed by some context on how they can be used.

In general, while many of the rules listed here, including combat, aren’t designed to emulate real-life. It's not about being as close to real-life as
possible. To me TTRPGs, and the GLOG-osphere in particular, are about fun, exercising imagination, and elegance in simplicity. In my experience
and observations I’ve noticed that the closer these kinds of games attempt to emulate reality the more bogged-down they become. Besides, this is
a game of fantasy, who cares about realism? If something doesn’t follow the laws of physics A Wizard Did It.

Looting only counts when you’ve hauled it off and safely stored or spent it,

Race List

Rather than giving an in-depth description here, I find it more fitting to allow GMs to describe the place of these races in their setting. Listed here are some standard-fare
fantasy races, and few less-common ones. If a stat reroll is specified use the higher roll. GMs, as with anything else in the GLOG-o-sphere are welcome to substitute these
races and their abilities with whatever they like.

(As a side note for the GM: most other GLOG stuff doesn’t give out this much race stuff. If you feel having players write all this down you can just toss it out the window, use
something from somewhere else, or make up your own stuff to better fit your idea of a race.)
