Taidan olla todella järjestelyvimmainen, mutta yhtä perus "keksitäänkö kotisääntö tälle" tekstiä kirjoittaessani päähäni lävähtikin visio kotisääntökeksijäporukasta. Olen tässä lähiaikoina pitkän kotipelitauon jälkeen alkanut pelailla muutamia kotipelejä. Huomaan sen, että asenteeni on muuttunut vapaammaksi kaikkia uutuuksia ja kummallisuuksia kohtaan. Täällä on kuitenkin aika paljon kehitelty varsinkin uusia hahmoja muutamissa projekteissa, joten mielikuvitusta ja kiinnostusta löytynee. Siispä voisimme aloittaa pienen tauon jälkeen uuden projektin.
Kohteena olisi kaikenlaiset pienet ja yksinkertaiset kotisäännöt. Tällä pieneydellä pyrkisimme siihen, ettei pelitasapaino järkkyisi ja näille saattaisi ihan oikeasti olla käyttöä. Vaikka olin jossainvaiheessa innoissani hobitti projektissa mukana, huomasin etten ole pelannut pelin peliä niillä säännöillä. Ekanjatokanajansääntöjä en ole jaksanut edes vilkaista. Säännöt ovat varmasti hyvät, mutta vikana on se, että uusia hahmoja on niin paljon liittyen vain löyhästi aikaisemmin opittuun. Nämä uudet kotisäännöt olisivat vain lisiä, joista saa valita mitä käyttää ja mitä ei, maun mukaan. Päätavoitteena voisimme pitää, että joskus suomenmaalla jotkut vapaamieliset järjestäisivät turnauksen/tapahtuman, joka tukisi tätä sääntöpakettia.
Toimiakseen, tämä tarvitsee suht aktiivisen keksijäporukan[Vinkkaus edellisten projektioiden perusteella ainakin Averrenille, Findalfille, Valtsulle ja Landelle], mutta myös aktiivisen kommentaattoriporukan, joka testailisi ja kertoisi käyttäjäinmielipiteen, joka ei ole välttämättä nähnyt tekovaihetta vaan keskittyisi ainoastaan toimivuuteen[Vinkkaus kaikkiin lukijoihin, joilla on vähänkin munaa ja seikkailukykyä]
Jos ihmettelette mitä kotisääntöjä tässä nyt ollaan tekemässä, miettikääpä itse, mitä haluaisitte tuoda lisää tähän peliin. Noinniinkuin tältä istumalta loisin bannerityylisen soittimen, jonka voisi ostaa rivimiehelle[Haradille torvi, Rohanille rumpu, Kääpiöille säkkipille]. Loisin myös Haradille noidan, joita siellä mustien numenorilaisten keskellä oli.
-Yrittäisin ensiksi luoda siis ns. tylsille kansoille väriä [kääpiöt, haltiat, rohan, mustainmaalaiset].
-Sitten yrittäisin keksiä lisää persoonallisia aseita, kuten esimerkiksi kirvestyyppejä, nuolityyppejä.
-Sitten yrittäisin keksiä käytettävät säännöt säätiloille.
-Sitten ideani loppuisivat ja katsoisin thelastalliancesta joitain huonostitoteutettuja, mutta hyvin ideoituja juttuja ja veisin ne loppuun.
-Tätä kaikkea en kuitenkaan yksin voisi tehdä, sillä niistä tulisi vain yhden ihmisen näkemys asiasta.
Nyt en jaksa enää puhua, sillä ajatukseni alkavat harhailla. Oli tässä vielä jotain sanottavaa, mutta senhän ehtii joskus, jos tämä lähtee liikkeelle.
No innostutteko? Aatteeni ovat usein hieman liian korkealentoisia, mutta tässä saattaisi olla järkeä?

PELITESTAUSTA VARTEN VALMIIT SÄÄNNÖT:
Pelitestaajille, muokattu 11.8.05 klo 13:08:
Nyt mukana nuolityppien ja ruoskatyyppien lisäksi mm. moukari, taistelukeppi, Rohanin royal spear. Meiltä pääsi lipsahtamaan ruoskien yhteydessä overseerhahmotkin, joten työsarkaa on.
Enjoy!
WEAPONS
ARROW TYPES
Flaming arrows
Trough the history, fire has had an important role in wars. The most typical way to take the advantage of fire is to set arrows on flames, trying to burn the enemy alive.
In order to set arrows on fire there have to be a torch in the army.
Torch[one/army of 500pts.]..................................................20p
Counts as handweapon, but when the wielder wins a fight, roll d6, consult the burn chart and make the necessary modifications. Torchman can set on fire 5 arrows per turn. The torchman sets archers's arrows on flames by touching them at the move phase. When target is hit by a flaming arrow, roll d6, consult the burn chart and make the necessary modifications:
Burn chart
1-3: minor burn: model takes a S2 hit
4-5: 2nd degree burn: model takes a S3 hit
6: searing burn: model falls to his knees because of the pain [models with S5 or higher do not] and takes a S4 hit
Modifications
-1 If armed with heavy armour
-1 If target is used to handle with heat or otherwise thick-skinned
[Dwarfs, Mumakil, Trolls]
+2 If made of wood
[Siege machines, Ents]
+1 If are otherwise subjected to flames
[wights, wraights and wizards]
--- Balrog is immune to flames
Mithril weapons..................................................................15p
[Dwarves have throwing weapons, elves have arrows - Goblins use both.]
In the middle of flaming battles there will be delicious situations when a warrior would sell his or her grandma for one decent arrow or throwing axe. On lands where mithril are usual, heroes may receive a mithril weapon for the points cost indicated.
If target is hit by a mithril weapon, a wound is caused instantly. Fate can be used normally.
OTHER WEAPON TYPES
Attack whip.................................................................. 10p
It's extremely hard to fight with a whip, so the wielder gets a -1 to his fight rolls.
Special Rules: Entangle: Sometimes wielder tries to tie his enemy with a whip and with that disarm him.
If wielder rolls over opponets Fighting value, he can strike a further strike towards every roll that was greater than opponets fighting value. Roll of 6 is always succesful. Of course only if wielder wins a fight.
Etc. Uruk-hai captain fights against Minas tirith warrior and rolls 5 and 6 and wins. He can now use 4 dice when wounding. 2 normal attacks, 2 dice from rolls 5 and 6 both of which are greater than the fight value of the warrior.
Slave whip................................................................... 5p
Evil creatures are often forced to surpass their limits especially when its needed most. Slave whip is the most effective way to squeeze out more power when its needed.
Slave whip can be bought to evil captains and heros. Overseers has a whip automatically. Slave whip is not suitable for fighting. If captain decides to use the slave whip, every orc within 3" from the captain can move 7" on that move phase. Keep on eye who were under the effect for the morale test.
After a move phase when slave whip has been used, test for the morale of the orc group near the captain wielding the whip.
Throw d6, on a roll of
1 the group is fit to be tied. They are sick and tired of all slashing and haste. The user of the whip finds himself surrounded by mob of raged orcs. Every orc under the influence of the whip hits the bearer with one's own strenght.
2-3 the group revolts and moves only 5" ignoring the whip.
3-6 the group moves 6", whip can be used normally
Rod/Bamboo stick...................................................1p [Heroes 5p]
Bamboo sticks and rods are often used especially on Eastern and Western areas of middle earth. It isn't very effective nowadays against heavy armours but rightly used they can be very effective when fighting overnumbered.
If warrior with a stick wins a fight he can make two quick attacks with Strenght value reduced by 2. Warrior with rod can never be trapped and can use shielding rule with the stick.
Warrior with stick cannot be supported by a spear. Sticks cannot be used with heavy armour or with any other equipment. This skill is so rare that you can only give 5 sticks per Harad/Easterling army of 500pts.
Hammer..................................................................2p[Heroes 5p.]
Hammer is a big brother of a two-handed weapon. Warrior fighting with warhammer gets -2 to the fighting roll but also gets +2 to the
wounding roll. Warrior with warhammer never benefits if the target is trapped. The warrior wielding it may hit his fellow fighters too due to the clumsyness of the hammer. If there's friendly models in a same battle within 1/2" from him and they win the fight, the hammer hits them too with wielder's normal strenght without +2 modification.
Wielding of a Hammer takes strenght. Only warriors with S4 are able to use hammers. Hammer has to be presented on the model using it.
Royal spear................................................................3p
Even though the smiths of rohan are not the finest of middle-earth those things that they are specialized on are beyond compare. One of those important areas of research is weapons used on horseback. The most advanced weapon is the royal spear which can be used both as a lance or as a throwing spear.
Rohan royal guards has this option when on horseback. Royal spear works as a throwing spear when shooting and as a lance when in close combat. You can't use it as a throwing spear when attacking.
CHARACTERS
FILTHY CREATURES
Oveseer...................................................................20-30p
Overseers are the backbone of forces of evil. They keep an eye on every creature on their land ensuring that everyone does one's best and a little bit more. If a snap of a brutal whip is needed, they aren't afraid using it
