    [IC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    The news that barbarians from Neo-Assyrian Empire have landed on the island is grim tidings. The Neo-Assyrian Empire has long cast covetous eyes at the polis colonies on the eastern shores of the Aegean Sea. Raiding is common. Occasionally wars have been fought, mostly won. The Neo-Assyrian...

    [5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

    Did the army make any attempt to hunt down Ariamhodary after they discovered his forces had retreated further into the swamp? If not, I will amend my earlier post. Scratch Groaning Forest as a home for the Iothanthe. I have no idea whats going on. Frost would be up for being a companion on...

    [5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

    The months after the retaking of Leeds Crossing and East End were hard. Long range patrols into the wilds fruitlessly chasing rumours of Lord Ariamhodary. Long nights sentry duty watching the darkness as the army protecting the masses huddled in Bit slept. Long days on foot, scouting ahead as...

    [5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

    Thanks. I was reading a SH and kept getting two characters with similar names confused. I think that is what triggered the question. "Morning frost and the smell of cold after a clear autumn night before for the first fall of winter snow" written on a whim, but has kind of grown on me. I...

    [5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

    A bit of character conflict can be good fun, so long as it s good fun for everyone. I tend the other end of the spectrum, I don't care to much about the mechanics (so long as the character is reasonably effective). I play for the interactions - between characters, between the character and the...

    Cool. I will get a RG thread started so we have a place for characters. At this point I think I am going to throw it over to you to rough out the Inciting Incident. Remember, important, imminent, and simple-ish. For example, a slight reworking of TI's concept. The idea behind this was to...

    Both characters are looking pretty near compete. Their Background Vows both share a focus on the polis in the region. But they have distinct differences, which is good. Certain courses of action will serve to advance both, but others may only serve to advance on or the other. Which could be...

    The Last Three Months I have read a bit of the IC thread and the summary and come up with a couple of ideas as to what Sariel may have been up to over the last three months. Of course, this is assuming that you want to have some degree of overlap so that the characters have some knowledge of...

    When you put it like that ... I'll see what KahlessNestor has to say. But I am inclined to agree. Perhaps the best way ahead will be to play as written, and see how we go. thotd
