Belated many thanks to Tad for organising this and to all the players and GMs. It worked wonderfully.

we do not have many examples of real societies that would be as technologically and culturally advanced as the Empire and practice polytheism in some of its major variants, so the question of realism might be invalid from the very start. This is forgetting India, at the very least. There's no direc...

Do the opposed rolls. You know you want to.

This is what our GM in an online 2e game is going. It works just fine.

The invites seem to expire after a few days. If this doesn't work for you in a week or two, I'll generate a new one.

Apparently fewer than a few - you posted this on Wednesday and it's already invalid on Friday! Sorry - I'll make sure to check back every day.

"Invite invalid" :shrug:

I'm happy to run something for the con. I'd probably want to do it "theatre of the mind"-style over video chat.

We'd also have to make allowance for those of us on CET. So 2-6pm and 7-11pm, UK time, would make the most sense, IMO.

TBH, I think if we do do an online version, it should be timed to allow at least some play from the US.

A shame, but not unexpected.

Not necessarily: Qin was so badly managed that product which had been promised for - literally - years never appeared before they abandoned the licence.

Thanks for the updates. C7's project management has been piss-poor for years, so I guess the unreliability doesn't surprise me. Still disappointing, though, given the quality of the stuff they do get out the door.

I first played TEW about 30 years ago, and I've played or ran it more than twice since.

I only yesterday realised that Josef's boat is called "The Beer-Belly".

WFRP: surprising you with awful puns since 1986.

Any idea of when the print version of the first Enemy Within volume is going to be out?

Thank-you!

I'll be there. Put me down to GM twice.

The main news this week has been Ian Miller's Kickstarter for a tarot deck featuring his art (including the opportunity to get a signed print of the DotR cover image. I posted about that twice because it's ending this coming Tuesday already - if you're interested, you have to pledge now! Otherwise, ...

Since Wim's opened the gates to horn-tooting, I'll point to my scenario, A Bitter Harvest. You can get its original, 2e version from the Daily Empire website (link in sig), but it was considered grim and perilous enough to be converted and made into the intro scenario for Zweihänder's core rulebook....

Just one post this week with any meat in it. I dug out some notes I made about using the Law skill in 2e, lightly edited and posted them. IIRC, I'd posted them to StS back in the day, but with that forum gone, I figured I'd give them a home on the blog. Comments welcome! Link in the sig.

It could be worse. You could've agreed to GM a Zweihänder campaign in the Kingdoms of Ind...

I updated twice again this week, once with a video reconstruction of a sixteenth-century castle, and again with a look at the overly-taxing 4e damage system.
