Preorder Bakto's Terrifying Cuisine, the next official adventure for The Vanilla Game!

Need a dungeon map in a jiffy? What about a city? Or a village?Need a free adventure?Here's a random character generator by my friend Robin!I made you a character sheet! Nate made you one too!There was a really awesome jam! Go check out the cool stuff people made!

- Update 2/5/21: The Vanilla Game is now "feature complete"!
- Update 2/6/21: Fixed some small typos and formatting issues. Replaced the "Laborer" extra with something more permanent.
- Update 3/6/21: Updated morale rules.
- Update 3/10/21: Updated time rules to acknowledge time outside the dungeon.
- Update 3/12/21: Added armor degradation. Adjusted encounter distance.
- Update 3/18/21: Updated morale rules again.
- Update 4/1/21: Added a missing spell.
- Update 5/22/21: Changed armor encumbrance.
- Update 6/21/21: Fixed various typos and such. At the risk of proving myself wrong, I believe the core of The Vanilla Game is at a fully-stable point in its design, and is unlikely to see substantial changes moving forward. I would, however, like to make a more substantial treasure table. We'll see.
- Update 7/3/21: Clarified miscast table.
- Update 9/6/22: Adjusted costs for armor and repairing armor. Added spell description for Phantasmal Force.
- Update 12/8/22: Added Lock/Unlock spell because apparently I forgot it. Adjusted Animate Dead.
- Update 9/7/23: Added in some more spells that went missing, fixed a bit of templating in the spells.
- Update 9/12/23: Changed the miscast table a bit.
- Update 2/3/24: Inserted the updated treasure tables.
With thanks and apologies to a whole lot of people, including James Spahn, Johnstone Metzger, Daniel Proctor, Logan Knight, Brian Ashford, whoever made the backgrounds table for Dungeon Crawl Classics, Zzarchov Kowolski, Arnold Kemp, Matthew K, and everyone who listens to me whine about games on Twitter and Discord.

Did you spot a typo or something? Did you write an adventure for The Vanilla Game? Want to get in touch?

Players' Rules

Attribute Checks

If you have neither the necessary skill nor proper tools for the task, you cannot succeed.If you have either the necessary skill or proper tools, roll 1d20. If the result is equal to or less than your most appropriate Attribute, you succeed.If you have both the necessary skill and the proper tools, you automatically succeed.

Saving Throws

To make a Save, roll 1d20. If the result is equal to or less than your Saving Throw (ST), you succeed.

Grit and Flesh

When you take damage, subtract the damage from your Grit.If you have no Grit remaining, subtract the damage from your Flesh instead.If you have no Flesh remaining, Save vs death. If you succeed, you pass out—wake with 1 Flesh after 1d6 Rounds. If you fail, you die.

Rest and Healing

If you have taken no Flesh damage and spend ten minutes resting, heal 1d6 Grit. If you have taken Flesh damage, you cannot heal Grit.Flesh damage can only be healed by a surgeon. In most settlements, it takes 50gp and a full day of rest for each Flesh damage healed.

Carrying Things

You have 10 inventory slots. Your weapons, armor, and treasure take up slots when you carry them.Weapons take up slots equal to the number of hands required to wield them. Armor takes up slots equal to half its maximum AC. Each slot can hold up to 200 coins and gems.Mundane adventuring gear takes up no slots—just be reasonable about how much you carry, please.

Gear Bubbles

You have 5 Gear Bubbles.At any time, you may fill in a Gear Bubble to add any piece of mundane adventuring gear to your inventory, as if it had always been there.While in a settlement, you may pay 25gp to empty all of your Gear Bubbles.

Melee Weapons

  • Small, 2gp. 1d6-1 damage. -1 enemy AC.

  • Medium, 6gp. 1d6 damage.

  • Large, 12gp. 1d6+1 damage. Two hands.

If dual-wielding one-handed melee weapons, +1 AV.

Ranged Weapons

  • Small, 2gp. 20’. 1d6-1 damage.

  • Medium, 6gp. 40’. 1d6 damage.

  • Large, 12gp. 80’. 1d6+1 damage.

Readying or reloading a small ranged weapon takes no action.Readying or reloading a medium ranged weapon takes a move action.Readying or reloading a large ranged weapon takes an entire Round (cannot move or otherwise act).

Armor and Shields

  • Light, 20gp. 2 AC.

  • Medium, 40gp. 4 AC.

  • Heavy, 60gp. 6 AC.

  • Shield, 10gp. +1 AC.

Unarmored characters have 0 AC.

Hiring Helpers

  • Craftsman, 20gp per week to craft, build, repair.

  • Man-at-Arms, 15gp per week to fight (light armor, medium melee weapon, small ranged weapon).

  • Torchbearer, 2gp per week to carry, travel.

  • Specialist, 100gp per week to perform highly-skilled tasks.

Typically, only Torchbearers and Men-at-Arms will go on adventures. You can hire up to 4 helpers at once.

Combat Rounds

At the start of each Round of combat, the GM rolls 1d6. If the result is even, the players go first. If it’s odd, the enemies go first.On your go in a combat Round, you may move a reasonable distance and take one action.

Free Attacks

If an enemy in melee does anything other than attack (move away, cast a spell, quaff a potion, draw a weapon), you may make a Free Attack.Magic-Users can make one Free Attack each Round. Fighters can make a number of Free Attacks each Round equal to their level. NPC enemies and monsters can make two each Round.

Melee Attacks

When you attack an enemy in melee, roll 1d20. If your result is less than or equal to your Attack Value (AV) and above their Armor Class (AC), then you hit them. Roll damage.If your result is either higher than your AV or equal to or lower than your enemy’s AC, you miss.

Ranged Attacks

Ranged attacks work the same as melee attacks, but at a range determined by the weapon used.When firing at greater than your weapon’s listed range, roll to hit twice and take the worse result. No weapon can be fired at more than twice its listed range.If you roll a 20 to hit with a ranged weapon, you are out of ammunition. Fill a Gear Bubble or spend half the weapon’s cost in a settlement to restock.When firing into melee, determine your target randomly.

Armor Degradation

When an incoming attack roll is equal to or less than your AC (and therefore misses), lower your armor's current AC by 1.While in a settlement, damaged armor can be repaired by a blacksmith. It takes 5gp and 1 day of work for each point of AC repaired (up to the armor's starting AC). If your armor's AC ever reaches 0, it's permanently broken and cannot be repaired.

Special Attacks

If you attack with an advantage (flanking, high ground), you have +2 AV and +2 damage.If you attack an enemy unawares, apply damage directly to Flesh, bypassing Grit.If you hit, you may forgo dealing damage to do something tricky instead: push or trip your enemy, grapple or disarm them, or feint to make two attacks with an advantage next round instead of one without.

Magic in Combat

Casting spells in combat is dangerous.You cannot cast a spell and move in the same Round.If you take damage before your go in a combat Round, you cannot cast a spell that Round. You can do something else, you just can’t cast a spell.

Casting Spells

You can always cast any spell in your spellbook, or from a scroll.You can safely cast a spell as a ritual, taking 1 hour of concentration per spell level. When casting a spell as a ritual, you automatically control it.You can cast a spell quickly (in a combat Round), but you must roll to control it. To successfully control the spell, roll equal to or under ST but over your own AC.If you fail to control a spell while casting from a scroll, the scroll is destroyed. Roll on the Miscast Table.If you fail to control a spell while casting from your spellbook, mark it Corrupted. Take damage equal to the spell's level, and roll on the Miscast Table.

Miscast Table

1d10Effect
1.Take 1d6 damage. If you don’t take Flesh damage, your spell works as normal. If you do take Flesh damage, the spell fizzles.
2.You cast a random spell on a random nearby target, instead of your original spell and target.
3.You cast a random spell on your original target, in addition to your original spell.
4.You cast a random spell on your original target, instead of your original spell.
5.You cast a random spell on a random nearby target, in addition to your original spell.
6.Your spell affects a random nearby target.
7.Your spell has the opposite effect.
8.Your spell is half as effective.
9-10.Roll two results from this table, instead.

Corrupted Spells

When you cast a Corrupted spell as a ritual, take damage equal to the spell's level.When you quickly cast a Corrupted spell (in a combat Round), you automatically fail to control it.If you sleep 8 hours in a relatively safe location, choose one corrupted spell to purify. It’s no longer corrupted.

Acquiring Spells

When a Magic-User gains a level, they roll a random spell to add into their spellbook, or choose one from a scroll they own.If a Magic-User studies a spell scroll with a mentor (as Specialist Helper) for a number of weeks equal to the scroll’s spell level, they may add that spell to their spellbook.

Getting XP

You gain Experience Points (XP) for overcoming monsters and accumulating treasure.For each gold piece you bring from the wilds back to civilization, you gain 1 XP. Monsters give an amount of XP equal to 50 x their HD, whether killed or avoided.All XP earned is split evenly among the party, but not among Helpers.

Gamemaster's Rules

Time

In a dungeon, time is measured in Turns and Rounds.A dungeon Turn is approximately ten minutes of in-game time. Most things characters do in a dungeon (outside of combat) take one Turn: an Attribute check, a short rest to regain Grit, searching an area.Every Turn, roll 1d6. On a 1, the party has a random encounter. Roll on the appropriate encounter table. Use 1d8 instead for especially empty areas, or 1d4 for especially busy areas.In combat, time passes in Rounds instead. A Round is approximately 1 minute of game time (therefore there are ten Rounds in a Turn). In a combat Round, a character can move a reasonable distance and take one action: ready a weapon, attack, make an Attribute check.Outside of the dungeon, time passes in 6-hour Watches. In a Watch in the wilderness, characters can travel one hex, explore a hex, or make camp and get some sleep. In a Watch in a settlement, characters can walk to and interact with an NPC or location, or find a place to get some sleep. Roll for random encounters each Watch (as for Turns), using appropriate tables for the location as necessary.

Light

A candle, torch, or lantern lights a room. When a player lights a torch or a lantern (with a pint of oil), roll its appropriate dice and mark down the result. Lower the number by one each Turn, when they do something especially strenuous, or when they drop the light source. When the number reaches zero, the light source goes out.
- Candle, 1d6.
- Torch, 2d6.
- Lantern, 3d6.

Surprise

When combat begins, determine (according to the fiction, and common sense) if one side surprises the other. If so, the surprised party takes no actions in the first combat Round.If neither side is surprised, they encounter each other simultaneously.If the encounter distance isn't immediately obvious from the fiction, you can determine it randomly. If indoors or underground, the encounter happens at 1d6 x 10 feet. If outdoors, the encounter happens at 1d6 x 10 yards.

Reactions

Unless it's otherwise obvious, roll to determine an enemy's Reaction when they encounter the party for the first time.

2d6Reaction
2-4.Violent
5-6.Hostile
7.Neutral
8-9.Friendly
10-12.Helpful

Morale

When there's a chance that an enemy or group of enemies might lose their nerve in combat, roll Morale.- In combat with a single enemy, roll Morale at the end of each Round in which the enemy takes damage to their Flesh.
- In combat with a group of enemies, roll Morale at the end of each Round in which one of them dies.
To roll Morale, roll 1d20 equal to or less than the enemy's best ST. If successful, they continue to fight. If they fail, they run at their first opportunity—they might regroup and strike again from a stronger position.If an enemy is especially brave, roll twice and take the better result. If they're especially cowardly, roll twice and take the worse result.

Magic Weapons

Weaponry enchanted to grant bonuses to AV and damage—the listed bonus (+1, +2, or +3) applies to both. Some magic weapons have greater bonuses against specific enemy types, and grant the larger bonus against the specified enemy. In all cases, a weapon's magical properties only manifest if the wielder knows the weapon's name. Otherwise, it is identical to a mundane weapon of the same type.Each magic weapon has a 1-in-6 chance of possessing a special power. Roll a random spell effect. Anyone wielding the weapon can use that spell without rolling to control it, up to 1d6 times each day.

Magic Swords

Each magic sword possesses an ego, and a special purpose. The wielder must, at the GM's discretion, roll under their ST and over the intelligent sword's Ego to resist doing its bidding. Only a character of a level equal to or higher than a sword's ego can voluntarily put it down.Roll on each column of the following table.

1d6EgoSpecial Purpose
1.1To find a stronger warrior to wield.
2.1To slay only the most fearsome opponents.
3.1To protect the innocent and infirm.
4.2To enact tyrannical justice.
5.2To slay what is unnatural.
6.3To draw the blood of kings.

Magic Armor

Armor enchanted to grant a bonus to AC (+1) beyond that armor type's normal AC.

Amulet of ESP

Every amulet of ESP has a twin, identical in every way. Those wearing paired amulets can communicate telepathically across any distance, even from different planes or dimensions.For each pair of amulets of ESP, there is a 1-in-6 chance that there is a third, secret amulet in the set.

Apprentice's Glasses

Minuscule lenses set into impossibly fragile frames. They allow the wearer to read any language, magical or mundane.

Bag of Horse Holding

An otherwise ordinary bag, able to hold any number of horses, donkeys, mules, oxen, llamas, or any similar beasts of burden. While inside, the animals roam free in an idyllic pastoral setting perfectly suited to their particular tastes in grasses and herbaceous plants. The weather there is always perfectly temperate.Any inanimate object or living thing not sufficiently resembling a horse, donkey, mule, ox, llama, or similar beast of burden that enters the bag is lost forever in the Platonic aether.

Bag of Money Holding

A small coin purse. Can hold any amount of precious metals and precious gems, as long as they fit through the opening.

Boots of Levitation

As the Levitate spell, but with unlimited duration, and no limit on height.

Boots of Speed

The wearer can run as fast as a horse for up to one full day at a time. No matter how far they travel, they collapse from exhaustion and must rest for a full day afterward.

Bumblebrod's Wand

A completely unique object in all the various worlds, this wand has killed every person who has ever used it, including Bumblebrod himself. The wielder can cast any spell they can name, without rolling to control it. Every time they do, roll 1d20. If the result is equal to or less than the number of time's they've used Bumblebrod's Wand in their lifetime, their heart instantly stops forever.

Champion's Belt

A simple belt with a huge, tacky buckle. Anyone wearing it treats their Strength as 18, and has +2 AV and +2 damage while fighting without a weapon.

Crystal Ball

Allows the user to view another location up to 102 miles away for one Turn, after which they must lay down and rest for 1d6 hours. Very fragile.

Elven Cloak

Black Elven cloth, light as a feather. Makes the wearer nearly invisible.

Elven Boots

Black Elven cloth, light as a feather. Allow the wearer to move in complete silence.

Flying Broom

A semi-intelligent broom, it comes to its owner's call from up to six miles away. It flies as quickly and nimbly as an adolescent dragon, and can carry up to one rider.

Flying Carpet

A semi-intelligent rug, it comes to its owner's call from up to six miles away. It flies as quickly and nimbly as a turkey buzzard, and can carry up to four riders, or an equivalent amount of equipment.

Horn of Josa

Blown with conviction, the horn emits a silent but powerful sonic wave, collapsing any man-made structure up to 20' in front of it. Has no effect on organic matter or natural structures.

Ogre Gauntlets

Bulky hide gloves, dyed red. They grant +4 AV and +4 damage while using them to wield any oversized wooden club in both hands.

Phase Cloak

A nearly invisible lace cloak. While the wearer is completely still, they appear 1' away from where they actually are, granting +5 effective AC and ST.

Panic Drum

A huge kettle drum the size of a rain barrel, and nearly as heavy. Playing loudly upon it for one Round forces all enemies nearby to test Morale at -2 at the end of the Round.

Scarab of Protection from Religion

A gaudy, golden brooch in the shape of a beetle. While it can't protect you from an actual god, it does make the wearer immune to all rhetoric and magic wielded by a holy person.

Suitor's Mirror

An ornate silver mirror with a doily attached and lightly draped across its face. The first sentient being to remove the doily and gaze into the mirror becomes trapped, body and soul, inside the mirror. From inside, they can peer out of the mirror face, and communicate with the outside, as if it were a window. 1-in-6 chance there's already someone inside.If the mirror breaks, the being inside is released immediately and unharmed. If the spell Remove Curse is cast upon the mirror, it becomes merely a mundane mirror, and any being trapped inside is lost irrevocably.

Tumbler's Pantaloons

Loose pantaloons that end just below the knee, in wide stripes of purple and green. Anyone wearing these always counts as having the proper tools for tasks involving physical speed or agility, and has +4 ST when physical speed or agility is relevant.

Note: You can definitely use any list of spells with spell levels.
These are just the most Vanilla ones I could find.
