big changes STILL coming
{ February 10th, 2009 }
Ben gave me good insights on the phone the other night, and I came up with some tentatively good new battle rules. No previews, though, because then if I change my mind (again), people will have gotten cranky for no reason. So, holding pattern, everyone!

Vincent, I signed up to run Storming at next weekend’s monthly RPG meetup here in DC. If you have something you’d like to have us give a spin, I’d be happy to do it, particularly any “fewer dice” system.

First off, looks great! I really enjoyed the feel of it, playing around with the mechanics a bit. I realize the dice thing is changing, but I’m glad I got to see it as is with the larger pools.
Reading through the manuscript, I noticed you reference three sample towns at the end of GM-Creating a Home Town, but I only saw Ellenheld and The Horsehall. Did I miss one?
I look forward to seeing what all you come up with! Thanks.

Hey, I’m running three sessions of this at GameStorm 11, the annual Portland-area gaming con.
Before I buy 4 blocks of Chessex dice, are you going to be putting out completely new battle resolution rules before the end of March?

I’m running it at the EN World Chicago Gameday XXII and I was wondering the same.

For people who want to play the rules as written but don’t have that many different colours of d6s, consider this option:
Instead of using red/green/blue/white, you could use d8/d10/d4/d6m respectively. Just count even numbers as hits, roll them all together. With d4s as blue dice and d8s as red dice, you won’t need too many of those. Save the more abundant d6s for white and d10s for green.
And if you don’t have enough d4s, you could probably use two different colours of d6s for your white and green or something like that, instead.
Just a thought.

Or, heck, just mix and match any dice, if you’re counting evens. Like, you know, if you have one set of “pearl” dice and one set of “black” dice? Just write down which is which and you’re ready to go.
