Boons and Banes!

Boons and Banes are a currency that you use to get involved with our gameplay. Spend them on items to help the GM or the players. Here is how:

Acquire boons or Banes:
You can acquire boons or banes by (1.) winning a prediction on the Discord server, or (2.) purchasing them during a stream.
1. Winning a prediction:
On our Discord server (Join here), navigate to the Predictions channel. There you can make a bet on who will be the first to accomplish something. For example: Rich will be the first to roll a critical strike, or Olivia will be the first to die. You may only make 3 predictions in a given stream. If your prediction comes true, you win a boon or a bane. You will be DM’d during our livestream asking which you would like.

2. Purchase a Boon or Bane:
On YouTube you can purchase boons and banes through the superchat for $5 each. Simply superchat a message at the $5 amount (feel free to taunt the players or GM with said message) and you will be DM’d in the Discord and asked what you’d like.

3. Boons and Banes Carry Over:
Your unused boons or banes will carry over until the next session if you don’t get to use them.

How do you spend boons or banes?

You can choose from the menu below and simply type in the chat what you would like to spend your boons or banes on. You can simply type, “Buy a healing potion for Eric”. This will trigger our moderator to announce the move and Todd, our GM will award the healing potion. Check out the menu as there are lots of goodies to choose from. The menus below reflect the different game systems we play and we will usually have the one we are currently playing at the top. Your contributions can really affect the outcomes of our games, so have at it!
