Duelling in a Dead Game: The Riddle of Steel

Image
Introduction The Riddle of Steel is an RPG by Driftwood Publishing from the early 2000s which apparently became pretty popular on its release, generated a lot of interest and then faded away into obscurity. From what I can find online it seems the designers made some bad choices in terms of expansions for the game and the company went under. It's very gritty and brutal with rare but powerful magic that prematurely ages wizards who fumble their spells, and a very  detailed combat system that reminds me of real life fencing. A bit like what I've heard about Harnmaster. The game is long out of print and very rare, and the company's website has disappeared. Luckily the Quickstart Rules are still online, so let's make a couple of characters and have them fight! Character Creation We're going to make two noblemen from the land of Cyrinthmeir, a rich feudal state ruled over by its king and the Gathering of Lords. The dastardly Count Ofrich has insulted Count Ansert's ...

Adventures in a Doomed World: Session 5

The Maze of Mothric, with characters' starting locations. I'm playing  Basic Fantasy RPG  with a few supplements to turn it into a solo fantasy hexcrawl in the world of Eilobar, a doomed land entering its end times. I'm using the  Level 0 Character Tumbler , Hexcrawl Aventures and also  47 Critical Hit Tables to Spice Up Your Game . Starting with level 0 characters I'm attempting to keep them alive long enough to level up from -100 to 1 XP and become actual heroes. Introduction After the second TPK last time I looked into using Scarlet Heroes . It sounds like it boosts the player characters in strength quite a bit and makes them much more deadly against enemies in order to be playable with a smaller party of 1-3 heroes. This means it's not ideal for a level zero character tumbler adventure (since PCs are much less squishy), so I decided to use BFRPG for the tumbler and then level up the survivors into level 1 Scarlet Heroes afterward. Let's get on with it. The m...

Hostile: Alien - Character Creation Part 1

Image
  Introduction Hello! I haven't been very active on the blog lately due to spending time making the Dungeon Crawl Classics campaign videos for the YouTube channel . However there are some gaming projects I want to do that are probably more suited to this written format, like learning to play Hostile from Zozer Games. I'm already learning DCC while making the videos for it, so I'd like a break from taking long pauses on camera going "Errr... Let me just find the page for thief criticals". I've been thinking for a while about doing a playthrough of the film Alien in Hostile. Why Hostile and not the Alien RPG? Because I already own it, and I am broke. A couple of years ago I randomly found a Reddit post by a guy who adapted the film into a scenario for Alien RPG and ran it for his wife and son who weren't familiar with the film. It was really entertaining and I haven't dug it up in preparation because I don't want it to influence me. More recently Pau...
