Ironsworn G+ Archive

Having fun in post apocalyptic Viennese metro network. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/29/vienna-2033/

Another battle. Leaning ever more towards pure Ironsworn. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/27/240/

Hacking my way to another playtest. Ironsworn just keeps delivering drama - very nice. Not happy with my own changes to the game though. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/22/anatomy-of-a-firefight/

Finally finished summer of 1493 and hit page 2 with my map. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/14/summer-1493-4/

First test. Trying to combine Ironsworn with skillbased advancement. Hacked character sheet shows regimental commander and the three battalions. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/19/systems-test-colonel-proprietor-the-game/

As I am accepting more misses now and finally forced myself to let my story take a turn towards being grim and perilous, I noticed something with the endure harm move: If your health is 0, suffer -momentum ... Then, roll +iron or +health whichever is higher. //My health is at zero. Is it ever possible for my iron to be negative? Feels to me like i always should roll +Iron.

Shawn Tomkin I wrote a little bit about how i mesh Ironsworn/Mouse Guard and Perilous Wilds on my About page. I have to say, I am more enamored with Ironsworn every time I play. I only have one gripe with the system at the moment: Opposition never acts as long as you throw Strong hits. The flow chart states that after a Strong hit you ask "What do you do next." I know it is statistically unlikely, but sometimes I feel like I could kill a dragon with a knife by: Strike -> Strong hit -> Well I strike again -> Strong hit -> Strike -> ... I fell like really dangerous foes would do something even IF the hero suceeds... not sure whether the rules could just be interpreted differently (which I would gladly do) or if it's a design choice. On that point: I am rolling 10s again and lowered the stats of my character. Thanks for the insight! https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/about/

Originally shared by Bernhard Lutz As summer begins one expedition heads north while the other sails south. One of them finds something that might save the colony while the other observes something truly frightening. I had fun again with Ironsworn and Mouse Guard. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/05/summer-1493-1/

Things are picking up speed in Merenranta. While one mouse prepares a power grab, another mouse slays an owl. I did slightly more narration this time. Feels like I am slowly building my ability to put down to writing what happens inside my brain :). https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/end-of-spring-1493-2/

Next chapter in my mouse guard mesh up. Things develop slowly this time, but nice setup for adventures to come. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/02/end-of-spring-1493/

Originally shared by Bernhard Lutz Weather: mild, overcast, drizzle Overnight, while every mice curated their honey hangover a murder happened. It’s a known donogood and thief. A murder among criminals? Bully the local crime Lord into telling the truth about what happened? Compel. +1 iron… http://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2018/01/01/march-17th-1493/

Ironsworn + mouse guard. Exploring a new land during the holidays. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2017/12/31/16th-march-1493/

This isn't really Ironsworn discussion content, but some of you already know von Eisenhut. I am kinda sad to have "lost" the game so fast, but it was fun all the way. I'll do whatever gets most votes. Originally shared by Bernhard Lutz What should I do with von Eisenhut?

Von Eisenhut's company broke in a snowstorm :(. Later Von Eisenhut himself went insane as he couldn't convince Count Etehlo that an ottoman army was approaching. Not sure what to do now... https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2017/12/17/26th-october-1683/

Another session in my great Turkish war campaign setting using Ironsworn. Resolved a campaign this time. Things are getting appropriately grim for my little troop. Fun times. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2017/12/17/25th-october-1683/

I went with the flow and played another session of my great Turkish war campaign. Successfully defended a bridge, it was close though https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2017/12/16/24th-october-1683/

First entry in my little journal about a company of Austrian foot in the great Turkish war. At the moment they are tasked with defending a fortress town from an approaching ottoman column. English is not my first language and I am by no means a great narrator. I am writing the journal mostly for me to remember what happened last time and to stop me from cheating 😂. So you are warned, don't except a readable story. Really enjoyed playing Iron sworn once again. https://voneisenhut.wordpress.com/2017/12/16/23rd-october-1683/

Played my First Session today. My company of Austrian infantry in the great Turkish war reached it's first milrstone and promptly liberated 2 villages from the evil Turks and lawless (probably just as evil) militia. I thoroughly enjoyed playing ironsworn. after reading the rules it didn't fall into place immediately, but playing really made it click for me. Great game. Question: I don't understand how multiple enemies work. Sry I don't have the rules on me ATM. But from my recollection: if I lose initiative they complicate my life by doing something. Does every enemy act or just one of them? Do the others just wait until it's their turn? On the other hand if all of them act to complicate the situation the hero could be overwhelmed rather quickly. Thanks in advance for any answers, ideas.
