It Is Time To Scheme – adding Special Effects from Book of Schemes

Book of Schemes by Dan True is a must addition to any GM’s toolbox for running Mythras. It joins my very short list of essential references alongside Monster Island. Book of Schemes concentrates on running a campaign in a city and brings alive a city that can be placed in a medieval or earlier campaign. More extensive review later on – there is loads of good stuff in the book.

Special effects get several new ones especially suited to city campaigns but useful also elsewhere.

  • Appeal to Reason
  • Force Opening
  • Glean Information
  • Nudge Opponent
  • Slam Location
  • Win Favour

I added the new special effects from the book to two of my GM and player charts. I will update the other charts later on.

Updated ones:

Tactics for selecting special effects

Reference sheets

Later on will update also the one pagers for special effects

It is worth your while to take a look at the Book of Schemes….
