|
THE PRINCES BRIDE (The Dee Sanction) is Tim's Continuum 2026 Sunday Slot 7 game (26 July, 14:00–18:00, Arkham room). v1.1 convention-ready, built from the January materials at /Volumes/Mac 2TB/Convention/contingency-2026/dee-sanction. Repo: slaguru666/Continuum2026 (shared-folder convention: scenarios/sun-slot7-dee-sanction-princes-bride.md, gm-utility/princes-bride/, art in scenarios/art/princes-bride/); local: RPGS/Conventions/Continuum 2026/03 Sunday/Slot 7 Afternoon Dee Sanction/PRINCES-BRIDE/.
Canon (reconciled — the January drafts contradicted each other): Mary Fletcher made the planted poppet; the real fae charm came from the late Agatha Thorne; Garratt is a persuadable pragmatist; McShay's rejected proposal was to Eleanor Patterson; the Prince is Sigismund (not Henry — PC name collision); the village is Faversholme, Yorkshire, October 1586. Table conventions: pregens are "Meg", "Nell", "Lynton" — never Margaret/Eleanor/Thomas.
Real Dee Sanction rules (the old gm-quick-reference.html was a different game's system — ignore it): roll one Ability die (Physicall/Intellectuall/Supernaturall, d4–d12); 3+ succeeds, 1–2 Falters (success at cost); Expertise steps the die up; Fortune = one re-roll; Unravelling track steps down on uncanny Falters.
Set-pieces: the Trial at dawn on an open Verdict Die (evidence steps it up, d10+ = acquittal without rolling, Falter = water ordeal) and the Bargain at the stones (courtesies; no roll wins the parley). Console: THE SANCTION DESK. Tim runs FOUR Continuum slots: Day One (Fri S1), AFTERIMAGE (Fri S2), Vain Crown (Sat S4), Princes Bride (Sun S7). Related: afterimage-scenario, rpg-skill.
