d100 – Stronghold Struggles & Castle Hassles

Over on bluesky the peerless Prismatic Wasteland posted some suggestionsfor Blog Content Ideas , and this one immediately intrigued me. There are just so few Resources for the Domain Tier out there after all.

Lamentably, Domain Play does seems a bit rarer these days. It relies so heavily on the Preponderance of Prior Play generated from consistent, sustained Campaigns, that often we don’t really get a chance to see much of it with Contemporary Play Culture. But still, it does serve as a lofty aspiration, and if you’re using B/X or a similar presentation, don’t forget that the Fighter and Halfling Classes each possess a super secret Special Ability that lets them engage with Strongholds at any level, you can always get a taste of this in the lower levels that way!

Some of these might require a little tailoring to taste, but even for those Dungeon/Wilderness Tier games, I can see a few that might just be suitable for hiring a band of Lower-Level Adventurers to investigate or deal with while the Lord has more important things to attend to.

Whilst working on this one, I did dust off another older Table that I’ll now need to finally finish. I feel that having a corresponding “Bastion Boons” Table for Happy Happenstances to counterbalance the Misfortunes associated with these Strongholds might just be in order!
