Ironsworn G+ Archive

Good evening. I need clarification for Endure Harm (I'm sorry if it was asked before, I've searched the group and have't found it). "On a miss, also suffer -1 momentum. If you are at 0 health, you must mark wounded or maimed (if currently unmarked) or roll on the following table." Does the extra effects for being on 0 health apply only on a miss or always regardless of miss?

Greetings from Indonesia! i really hooked up with Ironsworn, a rules light and fascinating system that combine Pbta and Mythic, and the most interesting part is the flexibility, i can craft my own ironland version! Now i still learn the whole book and try to do a solo session, and soon i'll invite my wife to join co-op play. The world must know this great game. I mean really, i can't believe i can even get it for free. You're awesome Shawn Tomkin 😀

PS Sorry for reposting. I made some changes to the pdf and the link was no longer valid ... Greetings iron sisters and brothers! I made this for you.

Ack! This is another, "I rolled 0,0 again!" post. First time to End the Fight, this time to Fulfill Your Vow. Last week was in a fight against a bear, which put us into the hands of some elves since it was in their wood. This week, after we threw the evil idols from the cliffs into the sea for the elves, and escaped some form of haunts, we found a hidden community in a hidden cove. We were unprepared at that point and luckily we sojourned very well with them and, as they were a bit of a backward people, we offered to aid them. They asked us to kill a dangerous fish which had taken their best fisherman. We did this. It was not easy. Our veteran was badly wounded and even lost his sword, but we did it, we killed it and brought it back. When I rolled to complete the vow: 0, 0. facepalm Now the Hidden Cove community has been rounded up and is being led up to the monolith to be sacrificed by the same haunts (bonewalkers or iron revenants, we're not sure, but there ar...

About Sojourn move. The Rulebook says "When you rest, replenish, and share fellowship within a community, make this move." and "Make this move once when visiting a community." I am not good with English, when I read "once" I understand that I can not repeat the movement in a community, unless I am revisiting it. However, in my gameplay I ended up zooming to much, and my char is in a village where some villagers are hostile and others are friendly. I already used SOJOURN in a tavern to recover health, and then I suffered stress damage in the next scene. But two of my votes will take place in this village, it would be cheating if I use Sojourn again in the same tavern after fulfilling one of the vows (which is directly related to the owner of the tavern)?

What are your recommendations for additional books of random table generation? I see Toolbox, Ultimate Toolbox pdfs and I see Tome of Adventure Design. Which books do you use to help flesh our your Ironsworn adventures? I'm leaning towards downloading both of the Toolbox books and having them printed at the local shop (they are out of print and too costly to buy on Ebay). What say you?

Hi everybody, I saw (in this G+ group I guess?) a video showing the process of Shawn Tomkin creating the cover picture. But I can't find the link to the video anymore, does anyone have the link please ? :)

Guys, now that me and the players got caught in the fun of the Pathfinder: Kingmaker videogame... how would you play an Ironsworn campaign with domain management? This means, having your own piece of land?

In order to hack the game, I wanted to understand which moves used which stat, and what did it affect in terms of mecanics, so if I modified something I could understand what it would also modifiy. So here it is: - Moves flowcharts - Stats flowcharts - Tracks and debilities flowcharts - Travel flowchart - Combat flowchart - Vow flowchart Link: https://www.draw.io/?lightbox=1&highlight=0000ff&edit=_blank&layers=1&nav=1#G1v5qzhc97OX6JfjjzkSURUtmUTZNwST9E Imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/qA8zJ7V PDF version: https://drive.google.com/open?id=17eUMRKwqKlxg_sXOIFFCjZWlHnkMd0e6 Maybe it could be useful to someone? https://www.draw.io/?lightbox=1&highlight=0000ff&edit=_blank&layers=1&nav=1#G1v5qzhc97OX6JfjjzkSURUtmUTZNwST9E

I've finally got most of the details nailed down for the crowd-sourced "progressive" solo play of Ironsworn for #SGAM2018! FINALLY, right? Sorry. Anyway, I've got a Google Group set up for this, and a few documents/sheets in Drive shared out to the group. This should cover most of what we'll need to track for the month. I'd like to see how many people are interested in doing this, so I can kind of feel out how many days we need to set aside per "chapter" of play in the game/story. The original thoughts I saw here were to put a 4-day limit on the play turns, but looking at how many days there are in November, that may not allow for everyone to have a crack at it. How many people would be up for this? We're talking "I'm in"s, not "That'd be kind of neat"s, here. :) I'll be opening up the group shortly, though I've still gotta figure that part out now... invites? Maybe I'll ask anyone who wants in to the grou...

We played our 4th session last night. We're playing with 3 players and a GM and having a blast. I've only posted the first summery. I suppose I should really post the others. I just wanted to post about the fight we lost. We were in the Deep Wilds and had been warned not to hunt here. So, we were foraging; doing well. We were loading up on barries and even found some honey when a bear attacked us. The fight wasn't going too badly for us when I used Turn the Tide and expended my (maxed at 9) Momentum so I could end the fight. After my strike with my hammer, the bear had 9 boxes filled and I rolled to end the fight. I rolled: 0, 0. Yep, it actually happened like that. My only consolation was that roll would've doomed any fight. Luckily for us, the twist was that the elves intervened because our Shadowy character's been playing them against our enemy and they wanted us to steal their iron idols from them and cast them into the sea.

Had my first two sessions with the family on the weekend, and although they were fragmented and hurried, we got somewhere. The first session was co-op, the second was a single player and me as more of a rules guide than a GM. The only real mistake I made with the rules was to fail to convert Secure an Advantage into Aid an Ally (because the action was directly intended to release the grip of a Kelder Tree who had another of our number trapped). Wife, kids and daughter's boyfriend grasped the notion of the action-vs-challenge-equals-strong/weak/miss very quickly and the session the morning after with my 8yo worked really well, because her imagination is fresh and uncluttered. Biggest problem: I was so busy helping everyone get the rules/moves/ideas that I forgot to have my character do anything at all. Next time will be better.

Thank you for Ironsworn. I realy love it.

“Roleplaying is a way for humans to interact with our deep, hidden mythological selves. They are a way to feed our souls.” — Greg Stafford Greg Stafford was a genius game designer. Pendragon is a staggering work. Prince Valiant was way ahead of its time. Glorantha is probably the richest RPG setting ever devised. Very sad loss for the RPG community.

Here's a quick one: What's a good die roller app for use with ironsworn?

My current mobile RPG rig: - Lodestar (yes! Glad I sprung for it) - Assets deck in a Card Caddy - Game Master's Apprentice , the ultimate oracle, inspiration, and dice replacement. This is in another Card Caddy. I really love these products, they're solid chunky plastic to protect your cards but also the shell separates and the two halves slot together to form an awesome draw/discard tray so you don't clumsily knock them off your table or bed, like this here moron. - cheapo thin Moleskine notebook for recording mechanics, narrative and dialogue in my uber-illegible shorthand notation, to be reconstituted as type later if I deem it worth reincarnating in a more entertaining format for the consumer. Plus doodles and maps and shiz - 4-panel (8 slot) GM screen with Mythic fate chart/event+description tables , plus most (all?) the Ironsworn moves inserted, though I'll likely swap these out for something else ( Covetous Poet tables or something similar) since I have Lod...

Originally shared by Ben Milton It looks like MeWe is getting public posting, pages, and video chat. Circles and dice rolling are a possibility. This is very promising, as it would turn MeWe into a nearly complete G+ replacement.

Since G+ is (probably) shutting down I thought it was a good idea to create a subreddit for Ironsworn. Shawn welcomed the idea. You can find the place at http://www.reddit.com/r/ironsworn If you have any user created content or other resources feel free to post them there if you dont mind. Maybe the place will feel less barren soon. :) I'll add my own stuff soon and customize the place in a couple of days (on vacation at the moment). Hope we'll find the same great community spirit in the subreddit I've found here if G+ does happen to shut down. http://Reddit.com/r/ironsworn

What does this mean for Ironsworn? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45792349 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-45792349

Good morning! I'm currently brainstorming a super-hero hack for Ironsworn, and would like some input from the community. Superheroics is basically character driven drama with ridiculous outfits and super powers, so vows and bonds can be imported as is. But how would you handle powers? Would they be reskinned assets? Purely narrative? Something else?

What happens to a bond if the person or community it represents is killed or destroyed? Does it get nixed? Does it stick around as a fond (or important anyway) memory? Been wondering this as I foresee one or more bonds disappearing.

Session 004 of my Ironsworn Solo based on "The Great Pendragon Campaign" is available at https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/112704/assets/906768/BEORN_004_SWORD_FEAST.pdf Because I'd written some "GM" notes for the first couple of years in the story, this was a cross between playing a Choose your Own Adventure and a more free-form solo game. It was a lot of fun, but I think for a player who didn't know in advance the possible consequences of their choices (choose the battle or the Embassy mission? choose to wait in Eboracum or go looking for the warzone?) it would probably be even better. The earlier sessions, along with my homebrew Domain Asset rules and the GM notes on running this campaign, can be found at https://igm4u.com/f/ironsworn-pendragon-actual-plays https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/112704/assets/906768/BEORN_004_SWORD_FEAST.pdf

Any plans for translating the game to Spanish? I might help with that.

Greetings I had a question about the Test Your Spirit move : do I have to go through it every time I lose spirit, of just when my spirit is tested in-game ? For instance, do I have to roll to test my spirit when using the Bladebound (Fury) asset, allowing +2 harm in exchange of -1 spirit ?

Something for your next inciting incident... :-) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45753455

Has anyone done form-fillable character sheets? I thought I remembered seeing one at the Ironsworn site, but apparently I didn't. Thanks!

I was just playing solo as a test run for my campaign next week, and hit a question which may have been asked before (sorry, I searched and couldn't find anything): If you earn +1 momentum on a weak hit for a certain move, but burn your current momentum to make it strong hit, do you gain the new momentum post-reset, or is it burned along with your current? I guess the real question is if earned momentum is always applied post-move...

Hello. Shawn Tomkin could you please explain to me your design thought process as to why the characters never gain stat increase as they level up? Thank you!

Hello! Just throwing this idea out here. Has anyone tried using Ironsworn with the Shadow of the Demon Lord world? Do you think the two could go together well? Yours, Deathworks

I noticed someone has started to write French translations for Ironsworn random tables into Chartopia. If anyone would like to do other languages, I'm more than happy to help out with any Chartopia questions/issues. (It's not officially supported, but I can make a Collection that combines authors of different charts into the same Collection if required). Let me know.
