G+ is fading into the west at the end of this month, but the Swords community is not!
Folks, over on the Discord Without Master, we're doing a March of Swords--putting together a bunch of rogue-made material for the game. Join us and share your own experimentations!

Folks, I'm so happy about this. This weirdo idea of a tabletop roleplaying game printed on a record jacket is about to become real!

Folks! I've got a Kickstarter on the horizon! I'm publishing Wolfspell in a physical form. In a completely metal 🤘 physical from. It's being printed on the inside of a trifold album cover, gloriously illustrated by the amazing Shel Kahn!
We're launching the Kickstarter late on a Sunday night because THAT'S WHEN THE SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON is. And I can't stress that enough. SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON means metal roleplaying!

Rogues Without G+
Rogues Without G+
The auguries have been read, and this world is destine for an apocalypse. Where then should rogues such as yourselves find the adventure you crave?
Discord Without Master is a great place to find a game to play in: https://discord.gg/7RWbHM5
It's also got its own alchemical laboratory.
I'm on Facebook, but only rarely, and I'm not super comfortable with its interface. I'm also on Twitter (@Epidiah): https://twitter.com/Epidiah There's no centralize community over there, but that's nothing a few hashtags can't solve. #SwordsWithtoutMaster #SundayAMSwords and #Eidolon are a good place to start.
There's also a bit of a indie gaming community over on dice.camp. I'm over there as well.
If anyone has other suggests of where to find like-minded rogues, please leave them in the comments below.

Below are images of my simulacrum, the map of the astral sea Emily Care Boss made that is the cover of my scrying journal, my scrying implements, and the final result of the scrying. You can follow along in my Twitter thread here: https://twitter.com/Epidiah/status/1022475319972962305?s=19
One thing that surprised me was how much my seer was developing into a full fledge character with desires and a personality. I must ponder this phenomenon more.

Around 11 AM EDT this morning, Misha B, R Shel Kahn, Stras Acimovic and I will be making our 4th attempt at the #SwordsWithoutMaster Speed Run Challenge live on the Actual Play Twitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/actualplay
Join us if you can!
Sean Nittner will be hosting and monitoring the chat, and I believe some of our Rogue Players will dip their toes into the chat as well. I'll try, but I'm an old wizard who is confounded by these new was. So there's no guarantee there.
Many fine seers will be watching our rogues' activities from afar, scrying for clues to what fate has in store for them! You can join them with the Ritual of Scrying: http://www.worldswithoutmaster.com/blog/2018/5/30/to-craft-an-enthralling-short-story

I just wanted to give a shout out to Josh McGraw for setting up the Discord Without Master and this community for embracing it.
It's been an absolute delight watching folks organize games and share their eidolons, threads, scrying, & whatnot on there.

Warning: Rambling Thoughts
Warning: Rambling Thoughts
I've been thinking about #Starward and #GammaThrones recently, and starting to stretch those old Swords design muscles again. (This is in no small part due to the wonderful reception the speed runs have received.) I've been thinking of them as campaigns that are essentially collections of thematically appropriate rituals.
But in truth, #GammaWorld messes with some really fundamental aspects of the game. It adds a new phase and thread, it changes the whole timing mechanism aspect of the motifs, and it eliminates the end game altogether. That's perhaps a bit more substantial than a campaign.
That World Phase and Map Thread are pretty nifty, though, and wouldn't be too out of place in Swords as an advance phase and thread, like like the Lore Phase and Thread or the Mark Thread.
What's really happening here is that I'm starting to think real earnestly about what a stand-alone Swords Without Master rulebook would look like and contain. And how to think about things like additional threads and more thunderless phases. Because there's a couple more I want to introduce.

Rogues!
Rogues!
Thanks to Josh McGraw , the enterprising rogue who set this up, the Swords Without Master pack now has their very own Discord to organize and play games on!
I'm a bit of a Discord neophyte, but I'm eager to learn its ways. Join us on this adventure using the invitation link below!
Rogue Tip: Typing "/roll 2d6" will get a bot to return a roll of 2d6 to you. The bot will add them up for you, for the arithematically curious, but it will also list the roll on each of the dice. Our convention is to assign them to tones alphabetically. So the Glum roll then the Jovial roll in the basic game. Or the Glory result then the Hell result if you're playing a Tale …of War. Or the Beautiful dice followed by the Glum die if you're playing an Unparalleled rogue who has substituted Beautiful for Jovial. You get the picture.
