Ok. Thoughts. As always, feel free to amend, challenge or reject. And, as previously mentioned, I am considering everything to be pencilled in. If its not working, we can change it. My initial response was: "Spymaster! Thats so 20th century!" Then I calmed down and remembered my promise to...

As I understand it, the status is: ArwensDaughter - playing a devotion Paladin (existing PC) JustinCase - playing a drunken master monk (existing PC) FitzTheRuke - playing a samurai fighter (existingPC) Myself - proposing a Wood Elf Ranger Steve Gorak - proposing a Fey Tome Warlock Mark Chance...

After listening to a few of the Ironsworn podcasts, I am considering the following: Add +1 to any two attributes to a maximum of +3. Advantage: This should make successes more likely, and so increase the rate at which events progress. Disadvantage: It may make the game feel easier and thus...

Nice. One suggestion. With the exception of Sparta, Greeks didn't really have career soldiers. All citizens were soldiers. Something along the lines of a town or palace guard could be more appropriate. I want to leave the inciting Incident until we have the characters sorted. That said...

Sariel and the Iolanthe There wasn't really much beyond what was in the post. I was just doodling up some ideas because there was nothing on TV and I didn't feel like studying. So maybe more procrastination than boredom. OK, here we go. I will try and work through my thinking. Sariel's...

Listened to the podcast while working on posts. Skimmed the World Generation again. Sort of skimmed the Character Generation post until about the last 20 minutes (Envision the Inciting Incident). Shawn Tomkin is good. The way he narrates the scene and his character's actions ... Thanks for the...

I got a bit bored so I reworked Sariel's background: Background (Outlander) A child of the Iolanthe tribe, you grew up in the wilds, far from civilization and the comforts of town and technology. The wilds are in your blood. Even in places where you don’t know the specific features of the...

Hummm ... There isn't a great deal more detail at this time. I was thinking of asking you to select one or two of the Ironsworn Worldbuilding "Truths" that you liked for this game. But looking through them, they didn't really translate. But I would like to get some input from you about the...

I do a lot of roaming through wikipedia and other websites for the same reason. And to cherrypick ideas. I don't see an issue. On this - as this is something of a play test for everyone, I am not adverse to changing characters as we play. If something is not working of you, we can discuss...

Cheers. The good thing about the podcast is that it seems to have several sessions of play. The other examples of play I have seen get to where things get more complicated, then stop. Thats what I understand. The devil, I get the feeling, is in the details. But we will work it out. In the...

Thanks for the video link. There are three videos in the series: Generating a World Generating a Character Solo Play: Session 1 I just skimmed the first two. The third video is probably the most interesting. I don't agree with the way he handled everything. But it is interesting to see the...

This will be a fairly loose analogue of Ancient Greece. If you have seen Troy and the Clash of the Titan movies, you would have enough to get by. I will put a little Setting Info shortly. Most of it is cribbed directly from Sean K Reynolds's The New Argonauts, in particular Chapter 4: Culture...

I was looking at ways of hooking Sariel into the campaign, to create an opportunity ofr her to know the other characters, or at least know of them. I was thinking that Sariel could have been working the army that came to Leed's Landing as a scout or ranger. Or similarly with the hunting party...

Character looks good. Odysseus was known for his cunning (trickery). He was also an archer, defetating all the rival suitors for Penelope's hand in an archery competition (which of course was trick in a way). The he slaughtered them all. thotd

Welcome TallIan. So it looks like we have a One Two vote for Greeks or Vikings, and a One Two for Vikings or Greeks. If there is no objection, I would like to try the Mythic Greek setting. There will be a little re-skinning, mostly around linking specific 'magic' to the gods of the pantheon...

Ironsworn does not do big budget FX magic, but there is magic. All the Ritual assets are a type of magic. Most of the characters are martial types in one form or another. The selection of assets significantly shapes the character, and the range allows for spectrum of characters from very...

While I like the idea of the half-orc paladin, didn't really like the way it was built. So I went with the wood elf ranger. thotd
