Horses with saddlebags and/or a cart/wagon holds all the stuff they need instead of having to trek back to town.

Mounts (Scroll 2) have slots, but there is a balancing act there as well.

I just dont think for the core loop/main approach to the game, Hirlings/Henchmen are accounted for. Not to say one cannot, as @Whizbang Dustyboots outlined, but yeah.

The cost of mounts is it's own gate, which works the same it has since the 70's.

And if they they are actual mounts, that eats into the slots available, same as if you armour them, and all that. Its another great example of design, imo.

Not a big fan considering one of the core restrictions is gear slots. That said, I've got a few in something I'm working on but its intended to be for a DM + 1 player scenario.

That's intriguing is this scenario SoloDark or some variant?

More a guided tutorial is the plan.

I know we have Pirate Borg at home, but I'm going to look at this one too.

I also grabbed the new DM screen, in for a penny, in for a pound?

You and me both, brother!

Must say, while I have heard a lot of good about the Righteous Vow, it didn't really awe me. Felt somewhat half cooked to me, at least what I read of the previous installments.

Oh really? I didnt pick up the last ones, I kept meaning to, but money is money. I'll poke around for some reviews though, thanks for the heads up.

Hey everyone, I appreciate your comments about the hireling and henchmen SD question. What about if there was class that was based on using henchmen? My business partner and I are working a Japanese-inspired supplement to Shadowdark called Ninjadark. We have experimenting with a class that might utilize henchmen.
