I'm going on the record agreeing with this. There's no need. It was something I introduced because a lot of people wanted it. I'd rather a "core E6 rulebook" didn't have anything except the base rules to level 6 (but picking base rules is up to you folks)

I've been mulling this for quite a while. The hardest, most essential part: Give each class an ability that makes some other character cool under some circumstances.

1) Items that require a caster level 7 or 4th level spells (or higher) don't exist 2) When I played I threw the demographic/economic rules out entirely, and just made my items and NPCs and put them into the world. 3) For a game like Eberron with E6, I'd have an active market for scrolls and...

Thanks, guys!

This idea is extremely hot. I love it.

So I have these 4 themes for my IAWA games; Intrigue, Time, War, and Wonder. Based purely on my own preferences, I fished out the elements that I thought matched those, and I printed them off and stuck them in shiny Magic Card protectors (slipping a playing card in the back). So I had 4 decks...

I've e-mailed two admins directly ... no response ... second bump.

Too late! I already bought it. :) I like the analysis in the book, by the way. But it looks like (by local demand) the next game I'm running is In A Wicked Age again. But I'm thumbing through Trailblazer (well, clicking) right now.

Blood & Sex is about human relationships under pressure (often from other human relationships, sometimes by the supernatural) God-kings of War is about war, the people who want it and the people and things caught up in it. The Unquiet Past is about the supernatural but it's also about time...

Hey Dave! You need no reintroduction. I have some free slots in my schedule. Worst part of In A Wicked Age? Well, the flake factor is pretty important. If you're there for the game and the rest of your friends all think 'oh, it'll be fine if I miss tonight's session because IAWA isn't like...

I've wondered before about how to make the best Oracle. I mostly navigate it by feel. But there's some very good advice in this thread on the Story Games forum. Best way to test an Oracle: Imagine your group and draw an oracle, imagine what they'd say. If you know how to basically navigate...

No worries! Here's the 2 minute answer: The Owe list rewards characters (and players) for being protagonists. A person who faces opposition that is tougher than themselves - with a chance of winning - is acting like a protagonist. So the game rules reward someone who puts their character...

I think he's being too modest (he took some flack about the 'voice' the rules use). The GAME is as good or better than Dogs (having played both) but it can't be as tight because far more diverse situations result from a game of IAWA than from a game of Dogs. I've played it with some pretty...

My best answer to these questions are in the Canon Puncture interview I did in February. Off the top of my head, and not doing it justice: 1. No prep (though someone needs to read the game carefully) 2. Anthology structure (play a character for a session, sometimes they come back in a later...

Achan, start a new thread and title it 'Ask Ryan about In A Wicked Age!' and I'll answer the questions there. OK?

bumpabump

I get that 4e's sales figures are controversial, but I think that's a topic that can fork to a new thread. Any other mainstream releases that are particularly noteworthy? What has gotten a lot of play?

ahnehnois, could you give me the one-sentence version of why someone would choose Trailblazer over Pathfinder? Same for FantasyCraft? I'm curious if I should dig deeper.

Awesome! (Huge cred to Rich Rogers for editing out 95% of my "umms" and "yaknows")
