Re: Brassman and Clockwork rules
I backed the companions so I've got the PDFs and at least with the short-ish read I've given them so far it doesn't look like Clockwork gets much love. It seems like there's a lot more on magic and Weird Science, but not anything (that I saw anyway) for the Brassman. Thanks for your reply and your l...

Brassman and Clockwork rules
Hey All! I backed the 1879 Kickstarter to get all the books and I've just started going through them. Am I missing something, or is there very little guidance about what the Brassman can do with Clockwork? If you could point me to the section I'm missing or give me some feedback it would be apprecia...

Companions Kickstarter
I've been really interested in 1879 but was holding off until the Companions Kickstarter. Now that I've backed it (to get print copies of most everything) I'm really excited to give it a go! Unless I can talk my wife (big history buff) into running something it'll have to wait until I wrap up the Ea...

Re: Replacement Talent for Haggle
well, for what it's worth, I took the time to check the errata, and that makes it a bit more clear: "Haggle, Page 152 Clarification: Each side makes all their tests independently, they do not alternate tests." Thanks to Sharkforce! I'm glad someone thought to look at the errata. Last couple of time...

Re: Replacement Talent for Haggle
in the west marches campaign, we have had a great deal of success with using the optional rule "using all talents to advance". when you come across a talent that does not particularly fit your personal vision of the discipline, you can basically just bypass it entirely by using an optional talent t...

Re: Replacement Talent for Haggle
What do you dislike about Haggle? I have two primary complaints. A strict, literal reading of the RAW (4th Edition) is broken as it only gives you a +/-5% change in price, max. A more optimistic (from the Thief's point of view) interpretation of the RAW still relies on a great deal of luck to see m...

Replacement Talent for Haggle
So, back in 2016 I see I started a thread talking about my problems with the Haggle talent and looking through it again I see that I never reached a satisfactory conclusion. I don't remember now what I did 4 years ago but I once again have a PC that just reached 3rd circle as a Thief and I'm still n...

Re: Cavalrymen should have the slowest mounts possible?
The Cavalryman just seems very specialized to me. They work very well for a limited number of campaign styles and also for a very limited number of character builds. A campaign that's primarily in the wilderness and rural outdoor settings? They're going to dominate in many combat scenarios. Windling...

Re: Legacy Namegivers- An Immortalized Identity
I'm not sure what I'll do with this idea in my games, if anything, but I really like it. I agree, with the importance of names it feels like a natural fit for Earthdawn. Just noodling off the top of my head, maybe something like a lahala with each new "Roberts" gaining access to the knowledge of the...

Re: When to add karma
Thanks Mataxes! Yep, searchable PDF's are great. I thought about checking my 1st edition book, but then I'd have to go dig it out of a box. I've got 4th edition in electronic format and both 3rd and 4th in dead tree format on my book shelf. I started by doing a search on the PDF's and then moved to ...
