Coming into the home stretch before public playtesting of All Things Under Heaven, my folkloric fantasy game about discovery & exploration in a setting inspired by feudal Japan and dynastic China.
Reviewing the Basic Moves today, and particularly pleased with this little gem…

What is Ironsworn?
In the Ironsworn tabletop roleplaying game, you are a hero sworn to undertake perilous quests in the dark fantasy setting of the Ironlands. You will explore untracked wilds, fight desperate battles, forge bonds with isolated communities, and reveal the secrets of this harsh land.
There are three ways to play:
Guided: One or more players take the role of their characters, while a gamemaster (GM) moderates the session.
Co-Op: You and one or more friends play together to overcome challenges and complete quests. No GM required.
Solo: You portray a lone character driven to fulfill vows in a dangerous world. Good luck!

What’s Next
This is a major milestone in my Ironsworn quest, but the journey is not yet complete. Here is some of what is planned:

– Print-on-demand asset cards
– Ironsworn SRD: The Ironsworn mechanics under an open Creative Commons license.
– Ironsworn Sanctuary (working title): In this expansion for Ironsworn, you will establish and manage an Ironlands settlement. Will your community survive the long, dark winter? What threats will it face? What price will you pay to protect it?
– Ironsworn Frontiers: New worlds and genres for the Ironsworn system.

I’m starting a new AP series for Legacy! In Hostile Waters, a commune of sailors, the artistic survivors of genetic experimentation, and an enclave of stranded aliens find new ways to survive in the drowned Earth of the future. Join us in this setup episode as we build the world and make our families and characters, or jump in at the next episode when play begins.
Thanks to my players: Douglas Santana Laurence Phillips and Dave!

Z-DAY HAS ARRIVED!
Z-DAY HAS ARRIVED!
The Zombie World Kickstarter is now… ALIVE. Come join us for our new card-based tabletop rpg set in the zombie apocalypse. You play survivors hoping to build a new life months after Z-Day, struggling against both the living and the dead to find your place in the world.
The mechanics for the game are a version of PbtA rules that rely on cards instead of dice. When you make a move, you draw a number of cards based on a stat (Savagery, Steel, Soul, or Survival) and keep your highest card. You might get a Triumph (10+) or an Edge (7-9) or… only a Miss. Come check it out!

Hey Gang
Hey Gang,
I just finished some playaids for The Regiment-Colonial Marines and I’d thought they may be of use to others too.
