Spectral Domains

Every village has one: a place nobody goes after twilight. Places spoken about in hushed tones: places of murder, execution, and betrayal, where restless spirits still roam, where sinister shades still guard the hordes they acquired during their violent and evil lives, and where dark artefacts await the brave or foolhardy seeker...

FAQ

When facing the Lich King, the rules indicate that an evasion roll of 4 or a successful attack dealing "full damage" or more works.  What does "full damage" mean?

Read this as "normal damage or more." It refers to any successful attack roll other than the 1/2 damage roll.  Basically, a result of 5 or 6.

Hexploring Encounters lists a duration of "passing" or "permanent."  Do creatures disappear?

"Passing" is used more to differentiate from "permanent."  The “passing” doesn’t always mean that the Friend or other encounter left.  It could just mean that you don’t see them anywhere in the hex next time you are there. Creatures will remain in the hex unless something causes them to leave, whereas other encounters such as a stone portal or dungeon entrance will remain for the rest of the game.  One minor exception is the Satyr.

The Lost Noble "Offers you 100g to safely escort them back to the nearest village." I don't see anything in the tables that actually generates a village. Am I missing something? Or is this like the Tinker, and the Noble just wants to go to the next hex?

There is only one "village" at this time.  This refers to the city in the start hex.  In order to collect your reward and possibly advance a level, you must escort the Lost Noble back to the start hex safely.

My party was pulled into a dungeon through the pond, which I assume they cannot go back the way they came. Then when I rolled the number of doors for the first room, it was a dead end. Should I reroll, or is that party lost?

Unfortunately, your party is trapped in the Fae and will starve to death or worse.  Add one year and roll up a new party.

I am going to be playing Twelve Years with a group of 4 people.  Do you have any advice for playing with this many people?

Yes! I do!  I highly discourage trying to play fully cooperatively with more than two players.  The game is intentionally designed to become more chaotic as more players attempt to collaborate. Consider ebbing and flowing among collaborative, parallel, and competitive play.  Twelve Years is first and foremost a solo game, but it works very well in larger groups by making it a race, turning on your friends, fighting and robbing each other.   Consider trying to form allies, pit players against each other, and maybe even a little subterfuge.  Having two parties team up can be great, but once a third joins the group, well that’s a ton of people in a tiny dungeon room! Having two teams of two parties could make for a great competition! Multiplayer games are most fun when shifting between all modes.
