Due some recent events I am not so much in the mood for heist/rogue games at the moment but would like to playtest some ideas I ahve for my Wilderness Hack. Any one interested to join?
I would finish this hack somewhat next month and start going to playtest via hangout. You can sign in here.
Happy Holiday Season to you all!
Sounds awesome.
I love the compass for stats! Very, very well done.
Oh my gosh. I love the sheets. Incredible work
📍
That’s beautiful
that is awesome, yes
Thank you all. I like this too, it combines several interests of mine into one form.
Crawl-Westmarches-Exploration meets Blades Factions-Tiers-Characters-Rolls.
Any one want to playtest 😀 ?
Oh, yes, absolutely
I would be interested, but I know very little about Wilderness in general. Would not knowing those sorts of things prove to be an issue?
Nope, no problem.
But I am GMT-1 Timezone and prefer Sundays for playtest.
Around 1-2 PM New York City Time
You can choose:
Sellsword (Merchenary)
Loreseeker (Ressearcher/Mystic)
Shadecloak (Rogue)
Magistrate (Cleric & Medic, no magic)
Later Options planed:
Artificer (Smith, Clockwork, Gear, Traps)
Conquestor (Tank, Explorer, Fighter)
Gunhound (Long Range, hunter, ranger)
Courtier (Slide, Bard)
Those times sound very good for me (almost ideal)! I am unsure what character option I would pick until I see a little more, but I like all of those options (except probably magistrate).
We have an expedition financed by a council of nobles and scholars into a dreadfull deadland/wasteland. You have to keep the Sages and the expedition leader alive while hoarding riches.
Actually you can play the expedition leaders yoursel or an independent group of looters. Your choise.
Sounds cool. I still would probably delay any choices until other playtesters joined so we could talk :p
Vandel – that is one GORGEOUS sheet.
Also let me know if you have a seat for Sunday ^_~
Ok now we have 4 volenteers
Cornerstones of the Playtest:
– Magic is a mysterious and rare power, mostly forbidden and feared. Gaining magic knowledge/abilities is very Dangerous and can lead to physical and mental corruption and mutation. (warhammer style chaos)
– Demons and Undead are known enemies, shrouded in mysteries and legends and supersttious lore. They are not cannon fodder but more like cosmic horrors a la Lovecraftian Lore
– Society is on the brink of the industrial age, still you start in a backwater kingdom and gunpowder weapons are still rare. (LotFP)
– Goal of the characters is to gain enough riches to be able to retire to a decent life / explore ancient places / build up reputation for their expedition company / Survival
– Players receive a Trophies sheet. From game to game, character death to deaths, you can earn trophies with your participation, which giving you boni on creation of new characters (more starting gear / inheriting olg gear / more coin to start / blessings / Patrons / Stats boni / special skills / special items / curses / etc
– Serving the Gods as Magistrate, gives a defacto power over the population, who are ruled by the Theocratic Goverment. Gaining the right tools and lores, you can access the gods gifts in Exchange for dreadful pacts.
I would love to playtest and all my games got washed away by the tides of Christmas break. That is to say, yes, Sunday is fine.
ANYTHING I HAVE TO DO TO FILL IN THE BUBBLES IN THAT BEAUTIFUL COMPASS. I WILL PAY ANY PRICE. I WILL TAKE ANY DEVIL’S BARGAIN.
Dont complain later. What you like to play?
That sellsword looks pretty sweet to me.
I dont mind double choices of class.
Magistrates sound interesting to me actually. Always liked clerics. You’ve got obvious motivations and people usually come to you with problems that need to be fixed (broken arms, broken hearts, moral dilemmas)
Yesssssss. I somehow have a hard time to find people interested in Magistrates. But they are rad. You can be anything between a travelling medic to a bloodthirsty Inquisitor
Stras Acimovic the sheet is nearly done. You can spend 4 dots on the compass (3 total max per Attribute) and 3 points on background and abilities.
If you like you could even spend 3 points on a super weapon. Or 3 abilities.
Can you take Signature weapon multiple times? Because you had me at superweapon.
Backgrounds can only be choosen at character creation. Abilities by spending points
Yes
Will this be available to watch later? I would love to. Sadly, I have Really Real World gaming that day. For what it’s worth, the premise sounds amazing and an Inquisitor does, too.
If there is still any spots for Sunday playtesting, I’d be incredibly interested in helping out. This theme is really exciting and I finally have enough time to get back into gaming. Though this Sunday I couldn’t help (yay New Year’s Day stuff).
Ben Liepis i have to ask the others if I can put that online
Logan Shoup sure but it will not be THIS sunday so don’t worry.
I really need to build an online-gaming rig…
Its any compie with a camera and a mic Ben, you don’t need any cutting edge anything really.
Yeah, I just do it on a standard issue Dell.
Vandel – just confirming – we’re on for this sunday, probably using roll20, around 1pm NYC time, and we’re hoping to play for … 4 hours or so?
Stras Acimovic , I don’t even have a computer, I use an iPad! 🙂 My career has nothing to do with computers beyond our timesheet and the AWFUL training each year, so I’m waaaay behind on quite a bit, from lack of need, honestly. That will change soon, though. I really want to do some gaming with far-away friends and Blades has inspired me to learn the stuff needed to create hacks and the like. I see all these incredible things you all create and it makes me want to take a stab at it, too.
Stras Acimovic not this sunday, sorry if that was confusing. I am still setting up the other playbooks.
That’s a shame 🙂 was hoping to start the new year right with a playtest. I’ll be around other sunday’s though. No worries!
We can still meet and do the character and discuss the hack. I am having some time, but not enough for a game
I’d like that, maybe. Might be sort of abrupt to be like HIEVERYONENICETOMEETYOUFORTHEFIRSTTIMEBUTENOUGHOFTHATWHAT’SYOURBELIEFSDRIVESHERITAGEBACKGROUNDVICETRAUMA
Plus it looks like from the character sheet there’s some unfamiliar mechanics too that I’d like to get introduced to.
I think I should be able to make it tomorrow if we want to do some introductions and small things. I am in a weird timezone (on vacation atm) so I might be a little late though.
Old Sports, I am at the Gatsby Party now. 35 minutes till tje year ends!!! Its party time. So I will post an update when I am sober.
Gonna burn some vice tonight!!!https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/I8JQCL6NQChaTLFlgEUxJ4Rtjs7S7jPUvdpn1ghyJ08iAPmvMIw-KVAZM-3fN4rPsAlfC8GrkVCG1U89c0gDti1IYKuL5Yi1VrGk=s0
Vandel J. Arden Have fun!
Splendor and beouty
This is more near to the time, real parties happened.
Ok in approximately 2 hours, I will be available.
Got it!
Sorry, just woke up. Let me go to my computer
Adam Sexton (tossed you a hangouts invite to our chat – check that)
Vandel J. Arden how did this turn out?
I’ve been gathering material for a hack about explorers and strange expeditions (along the lines of Journey to the Center of the Earth, Disney’s Atlantis and The Lost City of Z) for a few weeks and I only just thought to look if someone had already done something similar.
Renaud van Strydonck Since Vandel might be busy or missed the message and I just saw it, I guess I will give you an answer :p
We had a couple issues playtesting it. Although the campaign was really fun for some of us that got a chance to playtest and the mechanics seemed good, situations prevented us from testing it fully.
