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

I was leaning towards a martial type, probably a paladin as they bring a little healing. Half orc outsider (wanderer) great weapon fighting..More likely to be taken for a barbarian than a paladin, and not inclined to disabuse anyone of the misconception. In light of SG’s post, perhaps a...

I am interested. It has been a while, but over the next two years I should be able to check at least 3-4 times a week. I don't have a character concept to pitch. I figured I would take something that filled a capability gap in the current line up. Happy to take suggestions. Meanwhile, I'll get...

My preference would be a couple more players as well. That said, given the level of interest so far, it might be a fairly long wait. I think that we should start working on character and setting ideas. Activity tends to generate attention. Maybe the process with generate some interest. So...

Voadam This is some serious dedication to the undead. I think that in a universe where it is possible, the use of undead as soldiers/warriors would happen. Perhaps it would even be considered a honour to be raised as such. To serve as such. A weird form of ancestor worship? Do you have a...

At this point we have a few options. 1. Wait until we get a couple more players, then select the setting. 2. Wait a week or so until after New Year holiday, then select the setting. 3. Select the Greek setting. Start roughing out the setting/game outline. Start character generation. This may...

Cool. What is your order of preference for the setting? thotd

It looks like I will have regular access to the internet over the next 18 months to 2 years, and looking to take advantage of this to do a little pbp gaming. I'm not really interested in creating new character, at the moment. After 20 years of gaming I have created enough I think. So I thought...

I am going to open this for recruiting and see how we go. Players 1-4 Setting Options (in no particular order) 1. Kore: Kingdom of Harmony (feudal Japan analogue) 2. Ironsworn default setting (viking analogue) 3. To Slay a Dragon (standard fantasy) 4. The New Argonauts (mythic greek...

1. A New Hope. 2. The Empire Strikes Back. 3. Return of the Jedi. /End

Went away. Came back. Went away again. Next year looks like I should be home more often. Thinking about running something. Thotd

I think so. I like the fact that it is classless. That said, based on just the 45 basic assets, there are 14,000+ combinations. Even if 90% are suboptimal, that still leaves 1400 variations. But the real appeal is the way the game engine is designed drive the narrative progression. I am going...

GAME PLAY SHEET The rightful heir to the House Chikuzen has been overthrown. In a short but bloody fighting withdrawal between those loyal to their old lord, and those who have sided with his ambitious uncle, the wife and eldest son are spirited away by boat to the safety of her father's...

So, some looks. No real interest. I did have a run at the system in solo mode. I went with the Kore: Kingdom of Harmony option to see how the game re-skins. I thought it worked quite well. For those who might be curious I will post the character and game run sheet below. thotd

The Viridian Horse seems like a fairly major prize - a larger merchant vessel based on military a design (with all the potential for upgrading that this seems to imply). When I saw the bit about the engines missing, a whole vista of challenges and opportunities opened before my minds eye. The...

Been reading the IC thread while I wait. Great game. A ship with no engines. A really elegant idea. So much potential. I like it. thotd
