House rule - Add base attack to AC. Armor = Damage resistance. Slightly more work for armor wearers, but it does mean people don't have to wear plate to not get hit.

I don't know about any game demo. Some people dislike the playing peasants thing. Instead of that, think of 'unlikely heroes triumphing' or 'unlikely heroes dying to horrible chaos minions.' So you play Ratcatchers and charcoal burners to begin with; as time goes by they turn into great...

Wow, when I first read the description I was quite shocked. Cards? Special dice? No percentile rolls? No playing camp followers or rat catchers? I had a thought that maybe this will be more board-gamey, 4ed style. And then I thought - I can understand the reason why. On the surface, playing a...

In order - 1. Call of Cthulhu. I was blown away that you could even use roleplaying for horror. 2. Godlike. Gritty ww2 superheroes. Nothing like playing Australians for once without feeling at all out of place. 3. WFRP2e. Just started reading and playing. Wow. So very awesome. And there's a...

Things seem a little tense. Let us all become one with the force and all that. What someone on the other side of the world says is interesting, but shouldn't be inflammatory. Also, deliberately telling people they should not game anymore is something that would make me slightly upset, even if...

Overhead, large and heavily armed skyships armed with magically enhanced cannon float through the grey mists, navigating by the skill of their pilots who routinely sail high to get bearings in the mist. Cloud Riders often face many terrors, such as hungry fliers or pirates who lie hidden in the...

First adventure idea - I want something nice and violent to begin with, so PC's really feel at home. I'm thinking an attempted murder of them. Using the Madman template - Barking Wilder i'm going to call him - as a villain, He is going to attempt to kill the PC's. After they deal with that...

I wouldn't say wizards can't be involved in combat. It's a part of the rules that injuries take a long time to heal. Time to heal is bad for wizards because they can't really do anything else (!?). Regardless, being injured is for grogs. Now, you could make a wizard who can do well in...

Privateer Group The Sorrowful Hearts Motley are a group of winter Changelings operating as a cell in and around the Toowong area and its local graveyard. There are five members in this operation, and they report information about the local area and changeling activity to their handler, who is...

Funny you say that about the rules. My group really wanted to play it but had issues with the rules. Anyway, it's actually not that bad. Stamina + Form + Technique is pretty simple. It just requires you have a good knowledge of what the Forms do. Basically each magus isn't going to have high...

Feel free to ask any questions about my language! As I said, its basically a brainstorm session for me so I might not be 100% clear. Also I'm Australian, so I might occasionally refer to Aussie things without explanation. Also feel free to take the Toyman. For some reason he doesn't scare me as...

Thanks for the answers! I have another question for people who know about Changeling. The first and second dots of the Smoke power let you change your tracks and then make them disappear entirely. Now, I understand this as a very traditional fae thing to do. But does it stop ALL tracks? The...

Keeper The Archive Not so much an individual being as a place, The Archive is a moldering bookshop that is always larger on the inside than the outside. From the outside, the rather normal-seeming shop is close to Arcadia but still technically in the Hedge, and is never guarded. Changelings...

Hey, if anyone has any cool ideas, be sure to tell me! PC Steadfast Tim Court: Summer Seeming: Elemental Kith: Metalflesh Recently escaped from the Hedge, Steadfast Tim was a captain in the Australian Army. Tim was a good soldier and a good officer who upon embarkation to Afghanistan was...

Keepers 1. The Toyman. The Toyman lives in his great, 19th-century style toyshop where he carves, molds and plays with his 'toys' until they break. The Toyman plays incredibly complex and elaborate games with his toys, and if they break the labyrinthine rules they are 'remade' until the...

Spring Court Ruler 'Princess' Jewel, Elemental Metalskin. The Spring court are located at The Beat in the fortitude valley, at least most of the time. Spring courtiers can be found anywhere where things are happening, from raves and nightclubs to swarrays to the functions with the...

Winter Court Ruler: Mr. Ced, a Darkling Mirrorskin. The winter court operate like a conspiracy, with a large number of small cells operated by handlers, who report to Mr. Ced. The Winter court specifically work to cover investigations into the fey or lead them astray. They also keep tabs on...

Note on Summer, above - The Summer court resides permanently at The Center, a MMA gym. Hard Harry was the old 'coach', Quick Donny the current 'coach'. They are only referred to by titles when in the presense of other changelings. Most Summer courtiers have an unspoken understanding of who has...

Summer Court: Ruler - Quick Donny, a Wizened Chatelaine. The Freehold of River Haven (Brisbane) has recently overcome a ten year drought, brought on in part by the hold that the summer court had over the city for that time. The old Summer king, Hard Harry, believed totally that the only way to...

I'm setting up some ideas for a Changeling game; if anyone wants to add or anything please let me know, I'm very much in brainstorming mode at the moment. Notes - Brisbane is a warm city on the coast of Australia, north of Sydney. It is for the most part a fairly quiet place where families...
