name: Magic and Minions // Magic and Minions (cont'd)
text: LET'S PLAY:\nFirst, each player describes their character based on the most powerful action or actions they have, including a name and backstory. The DM secretly picks a card from their hand to represent the first encounter, using the name and art of the card as inspiration for storytelling. They note the *Difficulty Class* (DC) for the encounter, which is *6 plus the mana value of the card.*\nPlayers use their actions to try to overcome the encounter. One player reveals a card and describes what their character does, using the color, name, and art of the card as inspiration. Then they roll a six-sided die and add the result to the mana value of their chosen action.\nIf the total is greater than or equal to the DC, the players overcome the encounter, and the DM describes their success! If the total is lower than the DC, the DM describes their failure, and other players may use additional actions, adding their mana value and dice roll to the total until they overcome the encounter.\nAfter the players overcome the encounter, the DM reveals the encounter card and sets up the next encounter using another card from their hand.\nTO WIN:\nIf the players can overcome all six encounters without running out of actions, they win!
