    [OOC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    I have been thinking through how this plays from here. This is the question I have been considering: Getting everyone safely to the mountains is a formidable challenge. Why is it formidable? What is involved? What needs to be done? What are the challenges? Challenges (i.e. potential...

    [OOC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    They are all combat moves, but other moves can be triggered within combat depending on the fiction. Face Danger is a fairly common one. Good question. I am going to say no. You can acquire a bow at the cost of 1 Supply. Note: According to the rules, when adventuring as a group, you share the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Free 60+ page Guide to Sword & Sorcery for 5E D&D

    I haven't read the whole book in detail, but this caught my eye while scanning through the character generation system. It made me laugh. I thought that it was a meta-game joke at first. Then I realised that it was just how the Summmary points were written. I liked it better as a meta-game...

    [IC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Book 2)

    I'm pretty sure I was speaking in Common. Perhaps she is a little slow. Or maybe hard of hearing. Most likely hard of hearing given that frog. "I am Snow," says Winter, a little more deliberately this time. And making sure that she is speaking in Common. "That's Tifi," indicating to the little...

    [IC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    The two raiders are dead. For the moment, you are out of immediate danger. Their features are truly beast like; fur covered and dog like, including wicked sharp teeth. Limbs wrapped in black linen. Light armour. Bare legs ending in clawed paws. For a moment, Pallas is transported back to the...

    [OOC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    Drawing a weapon is not a move. Characters don't have moves, they make moves when trying to do something risky or uncertain. Drawing a weapon whilst engaged with an enemy is risky, so drawing the weapon in this situation means making the Face Danger move to see what happens. I am still getting...

    [IC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Book 2)

    "Oh for the love of root and branch, she has a family," mutters Winter under her breath. Doesn't she? Winter realises that she does not know. I should find out. The solid tome welded to the young woman's non-greasy hand is a dead giveaway, Winter concludes. Wizard. The Iolanthe have their...

    [IC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Book 2)

    "If we do this, we could well stir up a storm of trouble. It might pay to let the army know first. It might also pay to get a couple of the local lizard folk as guides ..." Winter looks as if she is going to say more, but stops. She pushes herself to her feet and heads over to where Tifi is...

    [IC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    Pallas launches as blistering attack on one Raider. Meanwhile, Penelope swiftly counters with the arrow in her hand, turning the tables on the the other Raider. Both Raiders are bleeding and wrong footed, their quarry has slipped from their grasp and snatched back the initiative.

    [OOC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    Nice save. KN: To draw a weapon during a melee sounds like Face Danger (with speed, agility, or precision: Roll +edge). That's ok, Penelope still has a arrow in hand, so she doesn't need to draw anything. She can use the arrow as a weapon to inflict 1 harm (vice 2 harm with a sword). Which...

    [OOC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    I have been thinking about this over the course of the day. The book says use a single Progress track for a shared/common vow. I think I will run with this approach until I know enough to make an informed decision about changing it. You can write your own outcomes based on the move. I will...

    "I have asked. But the army command is reluctant to send people deeper into the swamp. "But perhaps if you ask, Swithun, with a group of volunteers behind you, the answer may be different. "I am up for it."

    [OOC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    Nice call. Going all in. I was also only counting the change in momentum, not the running total. But, yep, I missed the +1 momentum to Pallas from the Loyalist Asset. And I didn't count the +1 momentum from Pallas's Swear a Vow move. Both Pallas and Penelope rolled for Make an Vow. Only one...

    [IC] PbtA Ironsworn - PbP in Ancient Greece

    Pallas throws his support behind Penelope, giving her courage for what she has to do. Then setting his spear, he prepare to receive the charge. Penelope raises her bow and swears her vow to Apollo. Instantly she feels her thoughts clear. The way ahead is clear.

    "It was my time to Travel." Winter pauses for a moment before continuing. "I was passing though Bit. I heard what was happening. I offered my service. I scouted for the army. They ..." she starts, but pauses. "They don't need my assistance now." Bob? It is not the first time Winter has...
