Me neither. I must admit I was thinking 'Brunhilde is here to find her sister, so why would she just drop it and run off on this mission?' as the merchant pretty much said it didn't seem like Beatrix had gone with her children. I usually figure there's a certain amount of going with the flow in...

Better hope that whoever is making that Wish is either casting the spell him/herself, or getting it from an unimpeachable source. Cos that's so easy to twist into several degrees of nastiness, they are going to end up wishing they hadn't...

The note you had received had been cryptic, but the intent clear: '...grave threat to the realm...', '...Rositania's finest sons and daughters...', '...all due haste...'. So you had dropped everything and come to this rendezvous, in the bustling market town of Merryvale, on the banks of...

Julius up front with Sir Angus then, and Kain next so he's near the action (so to speak). Renya will take up the rear as she's pretty perceptive

Game conventions and rules OK, here goes with the playtest - at the time of writing this I only have 4 confirmed so I'm assuming 1 group. In case anyone didn't get the link previously, the rules can be found here: http://www.story-games.at/wushu/open_reloaded.pdf I have a couple of thoughts...

I feel your pain, as this is not too dissimilar to a group I have played with before (minus the alcohol, but the general approach was similar). I walked away, as I'm of the opinion that a crap game is NOT better than no game at all. Pbp is at least scratching the gaming itch for me - come and...

Just checking you got my mail as well, JA. I've had some more thoughts on a couple of the options I presented.

'A thousand pardons, I am getting ahead of myself' continued Mustapha, inclining his head towards his companion, who now appeared thoroughly confused. 'The horse in question was a magnificent beast: fully 16 hands high, with a coat that shone in the sunlight like the golden domes of Om, it was...

Characters for the playtest here please. As this is an open playtest to get everyone familiar with the rules, all characters go here even though I might split them into groups for the game.

Professor Dalmatius Gruffle Male Sibbecai Magister Level 5 The Professor's Character Sheet Professor Gruffle is an extremely old Sibbecai. Professor of Magical Studies at Candlespire Keep, he still lectures occasionally, but spends most of his time reading, researching or acting as a mentor to...

When the servant had appeared beside them, it was all Brunhilde could do not to tumble over in a heap on top of Krindorf. She fully expected the man to drag her inside by the ear (as her father used to do whenever she had been up to no good) but he merely asked the threesome to follow him...

The professor nodded at Fernando's reply. He winked at him conspiratorially before quickly glancing at Glida he said with a straight face 'oh you've certainly got your hands full, young man'. Seeing the girl screw up her nose in mock indignation, the old sibeccai broke into a throaty chuckle...

OK, perhaps it will help focus people who are swithering, I will start the game on Monday 14th - there will be a RG thread and an IC for the game(s). I'm going on holiday for a few days at the end of that week but will try very hard to get access while I am away so I can keep the game going. So...

Firefox 3.5.9 on Vista here. I see the line of buttons including WotBs and Space Fight but not the Forums, Blog etc buttons. Also, I can see which of my friends are currently on, but aside from their names, the usual PM and X ('defriend') links have gone. Oh, and the big banner ad at the top...

At Eivan's suggestion, Brunhilde quickly grabs a cloak, slips a small axe into her belt, and sets off after Gregor - he certainly seemed in a determined mood after breakfast. Unfortunately, the big man has the edge on them in terms of speed, so the others have barely reached the end of the path...

I know it's not *quite* like the real thing, but given that a few people have said they like the system but are struggling for a group to try it out, until recently I was playing 3rd Ed Earthdawn as a pbp on the Paizo boards. For some reason it suffered even worse than the usual player dropout...

There should be a Player's Guide to WotBS as a free download at DriveThruRpg. Don't worry about the setting too much - the first game is just a test of how Wushu copes with high fantasy. Everybody will be able to pick whatever they want dependent on what I end up running afterwards.

A very good thought. Why oh why did they get rid of the 'Frequency' entry that used to be in monster stat blocks in previous editions of D&D? That would have been your answer right there. Short of assigning them on the fly, I suppose, if you think figuratively, the 'Challenge' in 'CR' could...

This is one of the situations where not sitting around a table together makes life a bit more complicated as we can quiz the GM and have to rely on written descriptions rather than diagrams and or hand gestures ;) But we're not beaten yet, still a few things to try, and I love things like this...

OK folks, thanks for your patience. So far I've got character ideas from: - Mowgli - InVinoVeritas - Songdragon - TheGreatOne44 With hopefully Boddynock and Dr Simon to come - that gives us 6. There have been a few other sniffs of interest too so if any of them follow it up then that's fine...
