Session 2 The crew of the 'Ship Happens' may have escaped the hangman, but they are still a long ways short of safe. Their sloop is docked on the other side of town, and a squad of mounted redcoats are bearing down on them! The Governor's private carriage - resplendent in lacquered wood and...

WORLD PRIMER The Southern Nations ARUSHI: pre-revolutionary France, a political powderkeg TAEVARA: zealous theocracy of militant clerics VERACI: trade hub contested by four powerful merchant houses XOLEN: gnomish nation, highly industrialised ZAVROS: war-torn kingdom claimed by criminal...

I would argue that any story-first system is ad-hoc by nature, and the solution to the problem you posed above would be determined by player action within the fiction. The heroes are moving through a war-torn city, when they are confronted by a group of enemy soldiers - and a tank. Clearly...

You don't have to treat each encounter as a single collective unit. Using the above example of a tank + squad of soldiers, you would field two unique entities; Tank, 3 Grit ATK: Extreme / DEF: Extreme Soldiers, 9 Grit ATK: 2 Critical / DEF: Critical ... and have the heroes decide which they...

How was the lethality in Killing Aliens? Did you have many PCs "left for dead"?

I think the idea behind the art is to visually link the new iconic heroes (Night Talon) to an easily recognisable cultural touchstone (Batman). If I am playing Outgunned Superheroes, chances are it is because I love superhero movies and want to emulate those big screen adventures at my table...

Outgunned/Adventure are both great! The author did not mention that 2LM are currently running a Backerkit for their new genre book Outgunned Superheroes, here: Outgunned Superheroes I really want to unlock the full set of Eternity Shard dice, so the more people who back this project the better! :D

Session 8 While the rest of the party debate how to bypass the remaining gargoyles, Hamar invisibly slips through the mirror door to Medusa's lair. He follows the stream to a cavernous grotto beneath the keep, where a beautiful woman bathes naked in the crystal clear water. Her long hair...

Session 7 The Battle for Burly Point is over, and the Broken King's army has been defeated. The dwarves clear the field of goblin corpses and the wreckage of abandoned siege engines. The damage to the town is significant, but Clan Coppertank vow to rebuild bigger and stronger than ever. Leaving...

Session 6 With war on the horizon and their leaders indisposed, the citizens of Caerfell look to the Runewardens for hope. Tink gives a rousing speech to inspire the common folk. He breaks 20+ on his Persuasion roll and Rosalind gives him a Ring of Unimpeachable Courage (immune to Frightened...

Session Five For reasons, Drezepp changes his stage name to Claus Wunderstrapp. The nude dwarf is Rufus Ambercomb, druidic guardian of the magic honey tree. The Runewards negotiate for access to the hive by describing how they cleared the goblins from Flyspeck Hill waaaay back at the beginning...

Session Four The Runewardens try luring Moira down to fight them on the ground, but she is having none of that and ignores their gentle mockery. It doesn't help that the players of Sir Bruno and Apogee are both absent this week, as it is for those two characters that the Crow Hag holds a...

Session Three Tink and Alistair travel the Path of Petals to rejoin their companions. The Runewardens retreat to the Ruasidhe camp and interrogate their goblin prisoner. The goblin's name is Butte Nugget, and he drops the following points of exposition; The Broken King is allied to a powerful...

Session 2 It is a long and winding road to Kidwelly, nearest settlement to the lair of the Whitebone Sisters. The Runewardens purchase a carriage and horses to pull it from a stable in Caerfell. They pick up Hort Thistlewhip; the boy left Kidwelly on his ill-fated quest to find the Golden...

Session 1 Winter has come to the Runewild. Snow blankets the forest canopy and an icy wind rattles the shutters of Caerfell Keep like a determined burglar. The annual Solstice Festival is in full swing, and a ring of colourful stalls have been erected around a huge tree festooned with tinsel...
