Happy anniversary “Swords Without Master”!

Happy anniversary “Swords Without Master”!

I fell in love with you when I first heard of your tale. Had then pondered your mysterious texts, and traveled to the City of Fire & Coin with two brave companions.

I have little to repay you with given the wonder my mind’s eye now beholds. Here is one small token of my appreciation, play aids designed by my own hand for any to enjoy.

Herein I have included:
• character creation outline
• overtone and rogue tone
• playing cards depicting our tricks

Perhaps others will be inspired as I have.

But this weekend marks the 4th anniversary of the official release of Swords Without Master in issue 3 of Worlds Without Master.

Folks, I'm so grateful for all the support I've seen for this, let's face it, weird little game over these past 4 years. No small part of that is this community.

You're all the rogues of my 💚🧡💜!

As I was playing some games of SWM (and my own hack) recently, I've made up some cards for Tricks & Styles (in french). But I've also made what I think is good-looking Motifs sheet. And Motifs is written Motifs in french too.

I think it's normal to share this with you.
Scroll down the post to get the download link for the Motifs sheet (inside a PDF with the cards). The post talks (in french) about the Motifs and how great I think this tool is for SWM and how I (plan to) use it for my game.

The scribus file is available on demand if anyone wants to make such cards in another language.

Keith Stetson up too late for an early Sunday game. Wishing you much adventure.

Rogues!

Rogues!

I have a new player interested in being inducted into our arcane order tomorrow morning via the ritual of #SundayMorningSwords Are there two more would would lift sword or staff to trek with him? I would like a semi-strong commitment so I can advise this wastrel what his future holds.

Oh wait!

Oh wait!

Here I was, rolling Glum, and dreading the prospect of writing up a half dozen or so pre-gen rogues for BreakoutCon on top of all the other work I need to get done before the trip. Then it struck me: there's a place I know where the rogues gather themselves!

Folks, link me to your favorite rogues (ones you create or those created by someone else, or even ones you've just created for this thread)! I need them for adventures in the north!

Going to BreakoutCon this weekend where I'll be participating in a gamestorming session.

Going to BreakoutCon this weekend where I'll be participating in a gamestorming session. Sort of a speed dating for games thing. I'll be running perhaps a total of 4 one-hour long Sw/oM snippets. There's a hard out after an hour, and though I've played quite a few games of Swords in less time, it doesn't happen that often when you're teaching it.

To hit the ground running, I'll be using pregenerated rogues, but I want to leave a little something for folks to decide on to make the rogue their own. What do you folks think? Should I let players…

Ran City of Fire & Coin for a couple of buddies a few weeks back, then immediately bought core rules.

Ran City of Fire & Coin for a couple of buddies a few weeks back, then immediately bought core rules. Great stuff but lots of new things for me to digest.

Part of my learning process is creating references and play aids, have just finished some tone cards for both overplayer and rogues. Next up we cards for tricks, a play sheet and maybe a character sheet.

Will post it all out to my google drive when complete.
