Ironsworn G+ Archive

I'd really love to get in on testing Delve, but I've lost track of any shares where docs are up if it's still open. Since G+ dies in 2 months I figure now's the time to go asking for this... Also, beyond Discord where will the community be once G+ shuts down?

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...

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.

Shawn Tomkin I'm guessing you've already discussed this elsewhere, but I haven't seen it. What made you decide to use fixed-length progress tracks with varying-intensity progress (varying numbers of ticks), rather than the [perhaps] more intuitive fixed-intensity progress and varying-length tracks? It's the only slightly puzzling bit to me

Out of curiosity, is anyone using Ironsworn paired with the decks and rules for Archipelago ? The logical centricity of the evolving map and events/factions/peoples on it seemed perhaps a strong argument in favor of this combination...

I haven't even statted her out yet, but really liked where my backstory was going for my character Kaylee, so I tweeted a ton of what leads up to her inciting moment. Please let me know what you think if you manage to read it all... Thanks! https://twitter.com/thynctank/status/1028480923401109504?s=09 https://twitter.com/thynctank/status/1028480923401109504?s=09

Is there an official quick start for Ironsworn? I like the summary Basics chapter - it shows in quick succession a few unique/unique-ish mechanics at play and [very high level] a sketch of the Ironlands - but it doesn't feel like I could actually play a session having only read that, especially if I was unfamiliar with roleplaying (or recent rules frameworks like PbtA, Fate, etc) in the first place. I also really appreciate how - on top of the stupendous production values for the book itself - the assets/character sheets/move reference are available separately. I've printed off all of them and anticipate referring to them a lot as I'm gaining familiarity with the tools and as I explore more and more options. I'm going to a gaming meetup tomorrow and will definitely be mentioning Ironsworn if we get to talking RPGs. I know already that I'll be picking up a hardcopy myself when it drops and I have the cash, and it's easy to see myself passing it along even though ...
