General rules for gameplay
Spout Lore is based on gameplay taken from Dungeon World created by Sage LaTorra and Adam Koebel which itself uses the Powered by the Apocalypse Engine.

In general, rolls are made using two six-sided die plus a modifier appropriate to the task at hand, for example attempting to physically destroy something would require the player adds their strength modifier. The result is then weighed on the modified Spout Lore engine, which is never explicitly stated but has been extrapolated as follows:


 * 10+: Unmitigated success. Congratulations! You can do whatever you want, even if it's physically impossible or the DM has said you can't roll for it.
 * 7-9: Partial success. Congratulations! As above.
 * 4-6: Up to three additional player characters, NPCs, enemies, sentient objects etc can assist by rolling all the D6 in a one-mile radius and then adding their highest ability modifier. Add this to your score.
 * 3 or under: This is bullshit. Roll again. Take a point of experience.
