Re: Fan Websites

I'm not sure what happened to the Wordsmith's stuff. Which is a shame, there was some good stuff. And one of my players submitted several short stories, good stuff from our campaigns. I'm probably looking at another messed up personal site. I don't have the time or energy to do a huge project. I wan...

Re: FS Encubrance

Our Vorox favors wielding a 2 handed sword and two one handed swords. He likes to mix it up, though. Sometimes he wields the 2 hander with both arms on one side, other times he wields it high or low. Mere humans have to make harder choices. I tend to agree, encumbrance is something you might have to...

Re: Fan Websites

OK, that's kind of what I thought was happening. Luxifer's old site still has an archive page, but other stuff seems to be lost forever, unless a copy was posted to the Yahoo site. I might create a Wordpress page. Or possibly post some stuff on DeviantArt. I have some maps, some old stuff, and some ...

Fan Websites

Ok, I know some folks who actually work for FASA are on the board, so I am going to put this thought out here. What web sites are there with game resources? I know there are the two official sites, FASA and HDI. I know there are still a couple of fan sites. Years ago, we had lots of fan sites with h...

Re: Looking for weirdness

I like ghost stories myself. Or you can inflict some sort of unkillable husk that can only be prayed away, not physically destroyed. Some of the short stories from the book intros have good ideas, if you are willing to take one of Alustro's vignettes and re-skin it so the players don't recognize it....

Re: FS as Passion Play

I'm running a Passion Play right now, but we aren't doing a review after each session, just talking about the setting. The Grand Theme is Qualities of Leadership - I wanted to explore peoples motivations and what they look for in a leader. The noble in the group is playing a Shelit noble. We are hav...

Re: Empress of the Known Worlds

For a historical example of what I am talking about, see Queen Victoria of England - she was firstborn and should have also been the heir to Hannover, but Hannover had laws dictating the firstborn male is heir, so that country went to her younger brother. It led to some very interesting political is...

Re: Empress of the Known Worlds

I would run it a bit differently. If Alexius marries Salandra, their first born could be heir to both the Empire and Cadiz. Or, it could be fun if their firstborn is the Imperial heir, and their second child is designated the heir to Cadiz. Alexius would be Duke of Ravenna, but he abdicated his hous...

Re: Mass Combat

So there are my current notes. I'm a bit dissatisfied with the d6 choices for tactics, and I think it could be improved in other ways, but thus far I have run two skirmishes using these rules; a husk attack on a fief (they shamble forward. They shamble forward. The necromancer in the back uses his e...

Re: Mass Combat

Example Sir Miguel Eduardo Castillano de Vera Cruz has raised an army of mercenaries and disaffected freemen, and together with his retinue (the rest of the player characters) deems the time ripe to retake his ancestral holdings. The usurper, his cousin Baron Javier Kinsey Eduardo de Castillo Keep d...
