Let Sleeping Guards Lie

ADD TO WISHLIST >

"I want to sneak up on him while he's sleeping...and go for the instant kill!"

Oh, boy. You've heard THAT one before. I mean, it's just some cruddy 25 XP guard, right? You could just let them do it...

Or you could pull out this supplement and make something weird, whacky, funny, scary, impactful, or dangerous happen.

Let Sleeping Guards Lie is a short supplement that allows you to create strange consequences for seemingly easy kills. The supplement divides consequences into short-term and long-term effects, and divides each of those categories further into irrelevant, inconvenient, or dangerous.

Want a bit of silly flavor? Add short-term, irrelevant consequences. Want to turn a seemingly easy kill into a harrowing adventure? The guard turns back into their Doppleganger form, setting off a massive conspiracy.

A few rolls on this table, and your players will hesitate to go for an 'easy' kill again!

A special thanks to Sebastian (@TheBegginerExp) for bringing up the subject, Grant Ellis (@WisePapaGrant) for first discussing an unexpected consequence for doing so, and Chris Bissette (@Pangalactic) for tagging me into the idea of making this supplement!

inconvenient 2 and dangerous 2 are very similar, is this intentional or?

Yep! The main differences are the range at which the sound can be heard and the damage associated with the Dangerous option.

Short-term, Dangerous #4 and #6 are the same (dropped lantern causes fire).

Is that intentional?

Nope! Looks like an error from when I copied over the working draft document. Thanks for the catch, the file should be updated now!

Hi Alex, very humorous and it certainly sparks some further ideas. One point, you have two headlines titled "Short-Term", rather than Short-term and Long-term as implied in the intro. Hope that helps.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
