    [4e Setting] No Age for Heroes

    Thanks, bad-ass is definitely what I'm going for with this character. Naming axes ain't about making sense. I just like the way -fang rolls off the tongue more than -talon. I joked when we made up characters that I only ever describe anything at our games so that Storn can draw them better...

    Is 4E coherent, incoherent or abashed? (RPG theory stuff inside)

    Incoherence doesn't mean that there's more than one GNS dingus present, most game sessions blend different bits together at different times. Incoherence means that they are present in an incompatible manner. And we can't say that they are present in an incompatible manner unless we have an...

    [4e Setting] No Age for Heroes

    I have and he reads this, so now you have too. Storn and I are both excited to play and we'll definitely be talking about it on Sons of Kryos, without a doubt. We're excited to take 4e out for a test drive.

    [4e Setting] No Age for Heroes

    My roommate, Bret, is Dungeon Mastering a game of D&D and hit us with this one sheet that has inspired all manner of awesome chargen: Once the characters were made and we'd fleshed out the world between us a bit, he hit us with this bit of awesome: And my man, Storn drew up the following as...

    How does Burning Wheel play?

    Man, this was over a year ago. I think they were riding their wolves, so I seem to remember that the wolves or one wolf who made the roll with helping dice. I know one of the orc had elf-wise (and the other had dwarf-wise).

    How does Burning Wheel play?

    So, here's how Let it Ride worked at our table (well, okay, it was a skype game so there was no table but such is life): The orc are traveling north to the Seven Kings Mountains, where a dragon has a horde of orc as part of her armies. War is raging between the Dwarven kings and the dragon...

    Getting into the Underdark

    It was an homage to a classic. I reckoned some fighting and conflict would go into any one of the above choices.

    Getting into the Underdark

    They could... ...talk to a Dwarven King whose son was just killed by Drow poison. Many believe the assassin gained entry into his keep via an abandoned mine. ...visit a lost Elven citadel where the original rebel elves went into the tunnels, their prophet matrons following the whisper of a...

    You could pitch these ideas to him, see which one tickles him and then he could make his character to fit the adventure concept.

    7 Dwarven Kings

    I reckon what the PC's do with the information they get. I honestly have no idea what they'll do and that's fine. The game is Burning Wheel, so no levels for us. If I was using D&D I'd certainly want to think about some fun PrC's for a few of these fellas, without a doubt.

    7 Dwarven Kings

    Wanna know what, Whimsical, I agree with ya. I thought Dwarven kings was more indicative of the Tolkien inspiration of the setting. If you look over the descriptions, women are definitely a part of the society, an important, vital and pro-active part. If it had been a Dwarven based campaign...

    7 Dwarven Kings

    I thought I would grab some pictures of the various kings from WotC's Character Portrait site and write a few sentences about each. Thought it'd be fun to share. Comments, ideas on statting them out and further thoughts are welcome. The Dragon has waged war on the 7 Dwarven Kings for nearly a...
