Ironsworn G+ Archive

Just realized I hadn’t posted my ongoing game over on RoleGate! Things are getting pretty exciting as the gang faces down a Broken invasion led by a mysterious and deadly Shaman. Check it out and feel free to leave your thoughts in Public Chat, I’m sure everyone would love to see what you think! https://www.rolegate.com/ref/A554551N/ironsworn https://www.rolegate.com/ref/A554551N/ironsworn

My hardcover Ironsworn came in the mail today but I wasn’t home to get it! My fiancé is teasing me with these pictures D: She says the print quality is great though. I’ll put it use when I get home this weekend! Thanks Shawn Tomkin!!

The latest version of the Chartopia Oracles is live, some major changes in this release to bring the digital charts up to date with the official release of the core rulebook. As always if you find any issues in them, please let me know! https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/ https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/

Chartopia should be updated to match the latest revision of the Moves. I've added a first pass at a waypoint generator and I'm thinking idly about how to do a region based random encounter generator Suggestions for new content always appreciated! https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/ https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/

Whew, long time no see everyone! My workload is finally backing off a bit and I wanted to see if anyone was interested in doing some play by post Ironsworn over Rolegate. I can take on a few players, so let me know!

Just some general G+ fu for you guys, if you want to search this community for something you've seen before, you can add the following to the search bar at the top to limit your search to this community only: in:104501626579912652597 (stuff to search for) I added an example image so that it's easier to see what I mean.

Just keeping the signal up here, there's an Ironsworn Discord! If you're looking for people to play with, there are worse places to start looking :) https://discord.gg/6QMvmJb https://discord.gg/6QMvmJb

The Pay the Price table in the Ironsworn Play Aids collection has been updated to be compatible with the most recent rulebook release. If there's any other generators you'd like to see added, let me know! https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/ https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/

Mechanical damage is boring, make your fights HURT!

Wherein I practice turning favorite fictional characters into Ironsworn characters. Eventually "Developing Character" is going to include custom assets and such, but I wanted to start off easy!

I've updated the Ironsworn Oracles collection with tables for each type of Foe (Ironlander/Firstborn/etc) if you need to choose randomly, as well as a weighted master table that will produce a completely random foe based on some probability (the Ironlander Raider or Wolf is most common, the Leviathan and Primordial are least common). Here's a link to the new table, and it's available in the collection I've posted previously as well. If you try it out, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know how you feel about the weighting and whether the foes you expect emerge from the charts at roughly the right rate! https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/chart/2031/ https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/chart/2031/

Originally shared by Justin Gordon Some thoughts on how to use Oracle rolls in Ironsworn to drive the story

Wardens! It appears that I'm setting up a game of Ironsworn this Friday around 1pm EST over Roll20/Hangouts. If anyone else is interested in venturing into the wilds of the Ironlands with us I can accomodate one or two more adventurers (any more and our supplies will be spread too thin on such a dangerous journey!) I know not what trials we shall face, but I know that with stalwart companions by your side either victory or defeat will be a tale sung through the Ages!

Some setting thoughts on a sci-fi Ironsworn. It's very high-level, but I wanted to create the same kind of scarcity and low-population density that makes the Ironlands work so well for the kind of stories Ironsworn does so well. I'm hoping to explore it soon with a few Vows to test out the Roles rules.

I spent some time tonight thinking about different methods of handling conflict in Ironsworn, influenced by other PbtA games that I've played. I doubt there's anything really new or original here, but it might be helpful for people that haven't played a PbtA game before! Also, I realized that I'd like to have a place to keep all of my Ironsworn related thoughts in one place, so I created The Ironsworn Diaries to keep my AP reports and musings on rules mods and stuff (it's easier than digging through old G+ posts when I'm trying to find something I'd said :P) Lastly, do we think there's any market for an Ironsworn Discord group or something? A way for community members to communicate in realtime, set up games and stuff? (I'm just a sucker for discord) https://ironsworndiaries.blogspot.com/2018/04/snipers-sneak-attacks-handling-conflict.html

I've possibly got a game coming up that's going to take place in a magitechnical Aztec society (all of the sacrifices and bloodshed power an almost futuristic society, but all of the tech is magic). My group has suggested using Ironsworn to play it, and I'll be honest I just have no idea what kind of Assets and such I should bring to the table to make it a reality. Any thoughts gang?

Shawn Tomkin Here's the playlist link to the Extended play example. Listening to it I can tell that there's some spots where the audio wasn't great (we were sharing a mic and pretty far apart). It was my first try at playing a game live on camera, so it's a bit shaky, lol. Hopefully though it helps people who have questions with seeing how to (or at least the way that I) play Ironsworn. If you'd like to sticky this playlist that's great, but I'm hoping to have something with a little better presentation available soon! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnqDgLQGJJB_vMVyTUxJfD8rq2C06mv_x https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnqDgLQGJJB_vMVyTUxJfD8rq2C06mv_x

While I'm waiting for the rest of the play example to upload, I decided to work on a different tool to help the community play Ironsworn. I have converted the Oracles from the core book into rollable tables through Chartopia, and created a few new tables that use the existing tables to generate interesting play material. To really get a feel for what these tables can do I recommend testing the "Ironsworn Settlement Generator" it combines data from Oracles 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 to randomly generate an entire steading with a single click. Shawn Tomkin these are available pending your blessing as it uses material from the core book. If you say it goes then I'll make it disappear immediately. https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/ https://chartopia.d12dev.com/en/collection/50/

The first part of an extended play example for Ironsworn with Lysa Clarke is posting on Youtube as I write! The whole session is done, but I'm uploading it in 30 minute chunks to make it a little easier to render on my system. The whole thing should be up by tomorrow afternoon sometime. I know from listening to it that there are a few awkward pauses and it may not make for the best listening. We definitely had fun making it though, and hope it helps people with any lingering Ironsworn questions. Please let me know what you think, good or bad so that I can make the next one better!! https://youtu.be/eSmtF8lf9QI https://youtu.be/eSmtF8lf9QI

Working on upgrading the way I present characters during my APs!
