    Riddle of Steel...Any Good?

    It won't truly exist until next weekend. It'll be a solo game, gonna be run using the QS rules set for my friend Peter so as not to scare him away (posts here as Corlon), and I'm looking to emulate the feel of the books more than the setting. All my experience with Riddle has been just screaming...

    Riddle of Steel...Any Good?

    The thread starter asked how TROS compares to D&D. In brief, it doesn't. Okay, explanation: they're simply completely different. In Forge-Jargon, D&D is almost entirely gamist-promoting, meaning, just about every aspect of the system that you can find is geared towards overcoming challenges...

    [Riddle of Steel] The Thief of Greyport

    This will be a story hour based on a solo game I'm running for my friend Peter, who posts here as Corlon. The system used is the quickstart version of The Riddle of Steel, using a few modifications (notably, sorcerers go mad instead of aging at a preternatural rate). You can find the rules set...

    Multiclassing penalties

    Multiclassing penalties are so easy to get around that I've never actually played in a game where they've come up. But if they did, I think I'd probably ditch the penalties, or halve them, or somesuch.

    There's Children of Fire. Designer's rather arrogant, but a very well researched and designed game. And it's free, so that's always a plus. :) --Jeff
