In the taverns of Lustria, from the storm-slick docks of Cremulon to the smoke-dim warrens of Hidun, there’s a game that travels faster than any ship: King of the Table. It looks simple—one battered hundred-faced bone (or brass, or carved obsidian if the house is fancy), a scarred tabletop, and a loud crowd—but fortunes, free rooms, and even grudges have turned on its rolls. The rules are nearly the same wherever you go: the highest thrower is crowned King, and stays so until someone else matches or beats their cast. The moment the stone stops, the tavern roars or groans, and the current King either keeps their place or is dethroned to jeers, slung ale, and sometimes a mock “coronation” where a greasy bar-rag becomes a royal cape.
In Lustrian lore, the game is said to have started in a dockside dive where mercenaries once used it to decide who would claim a risky contract—and who would walk away. Over time, the tradition of counting “crowns” emerged: every time you dethrone a sitting King, you earn a tally, carved into the table, your tankard, or your belt. In some cities, earning five crowns in a single night is treated like a minor omen from the fates; barkeeps swear that anyone who pulls it off is on the edge of either great fortune or deep trouble within the year. Because a King cannot roll again until they’ve been dethroned, the game has its own rhythm: long stretches of tense silence around a reigning high roll, followed by a flurry of hopeful challengers, each praying the hundred-faced stone shows them kinder numbers than it did the poor soul above. Among Lustrian sailors and sellswords, there’s a saying born from the game: “You’re King only until the next hand touches the die.”
How to Play
On your turn, roll 1d100 (using the forum’s dice roller) and post it.
The highest roll in the thread is the current King of the Table.
If your roll is lower than the roll directly above your post, you bust and are out of the game until someone later rolls lower than your busted roll or ties it.
If your roll is higher than or equal to the current King’s roll, you dethrone the King, gain 1 Crown, and become the new King. add this ♚ to every one of your roles after you dethrone a king to count how many dethronements you have.
You cannot roll again while you are King; you must wait until someone dethrones you.
The first player to dethrone a King 5 times (earn 5 Crowns) wins the game.
Ties against the King still dethrone them, so matching the throne is just as dangerous as beating it!
