Yes, that seems like a solid start. I like the concept & the direction, and it provides a lot to work with. He doesn't start with the Noble trait, "Mark of Privilege", but achieving his place & restoring his ancient family name might allow him to gain that trait through play. It would be a fun...

Some understanding of Mouse Guard is helpful since the MG is a modified version of the Burning Wheel. You should be familiar with concepts like the fact that the River is Rising, and the concept of Scripting for Fights & Duels of Wits & Chases. ................ For everyone, one more thing...

You could run the Realm Guard hack for Mouse Guard. Instead of heroic mice, play Dunedain Rangers in the Fourth Age of Middle Earth. Realm Guard: Rangers of the North (v1.6)

Faith & sorcery have interesting mechanics in Burning Wheel... they aren't the DnD system, anyway. Priests are measured by their Faith, which looks at that character's relationship with their deity/power... and in turn, that relationship informs the sort of thing that happens when the Priest...

Linkages... The introductory chapter of the Burning Wheel system (free to download), which includes basic task resolution concepts, and a simple description by the author. The Burning THAC0 compilation. This is a collection of message board posts, personal notes & ideas for running BW in...

[Burning THAC0] B2: The Keep on the Borderlands System: The Burning Wheel Setting: Mystara, the Grand Duchy of Karameikos Number of players: 4 (plus the GM) "Level": 3 lifepaths, more or less equivalent to D&D lvl 1 No system knowledge is required. What I do want are players with opinions & ideas.

Welcome back to the old school. With the Keep on the Borderlands, there's a lot that isn't in the lines of the rules & the old sandbox module. You have to be able to see between the lines to get your US$0.02 out of it. The entire style of B2 is totally different than the more heavily scripted...

Back again... got what I wanted from Santa because I had to pick it out for myself ;)

I'll be out of town over the weekend... although I suspect I won't be the only one. Merry Christmas!

As before, Eva directs the beam of light from her lantern towards wherever her comrades ask (presumably, the spot on the ground). She is not very interested in looking at the spot on the ground, and begins humming one of her favorite Hymns to Pelor. Her ear for music is not very good, however...

Eva directs the beam of light from her bullseye lantern wherever her comrades ask, but she pays relatively little attention to scanning the darkness for evidence of the gnolls. Talking to no one in particular, she says "I wonder what that dog meant about other people being here... who else has...

"I agree with the magician... now that we've started the fight, we should end it. Those creatures will come for us. As for Mayhem... she is nothing, not with Pelor on our side. But she'll have to wait for now. I am certain those dogs will come for us again..." Her sword back in its sheath, Eva...

Eva averts her eyes from the wounded gnoll and its dead companions. Though she cares little for her enemies, she would rather not be reminded of her own mortality... and also of the gnolls' humanity, no matter how slight. She dutifully picks up the greatsword that the gnoll was using. "This was...

I think the periodically plan makes the most sense for XP. When there's a logical "End of Chapter" or something - any time where we might close out one phase, get some rest, and move ahead. Otherwise, it's too much bookkeeping for my tastes :) although I know some people like tallying up XP as...

Eva mouths a word of thanks to Kiera as she catches her breath. The heavy blows from the Gnoll have left Eva's ribs sore and still bruised, even with Kiera's healing prayers. Still breathing with some difficulty, Eva bows her head and remembers to thank Pelor for His help against the Gnolls...

Ok, no problem. Wasn't sure if Eva had simply missed the previous round, or if she hadn't acted... so it's good to have this clarification. In any case, it's safe to assume Eva will be conducting the same attack until this particular gnoll is down and/or a pulpy mess on the ground. There's a...

Eva continues to aim savage blows at her opponent until it stops moving or the haze of combat adrenaline unclouds her eyes, whichever comes first. ooc: Continuing with the theme of Power Attacks... just to show that she is attacking wildly. Power Attack -2 to hit, +2 to damage... One-handed...

Though her heavy armor turned the blade, the gnoll's greatsword bruises Eva heavily, leaving her gasping for breath. Through clenched teeth, Eva replies, "You'll take nothing but what I give you, dog! And all I have for you is Pelor's judgement!" With a silent prayer to Pelor to give her...

Though she was willing to find a way to avoid a fight against the Gnolls before this battle began, Eva continues her single-minded charge until she is certain that these Gnolls will not fight back. "The time for regret is after the fight is over..." If the Gnolls are both incapacitated, she...

Eva continues to charge, and screams at the Gnoll that still has fight left in it, "Pelor have mercy on you! For I will not!" She is anxious to strike at her enemies with her sword (ooc: one-handed). EDIT: changed from nearest Gnoll to the one that might still fight back... not sure if it's...
