An earlier #crowdsourcedrogues that didn't get put on G+ yet:


An earlier #crowdsourcedrogues that didn't get put on G+ yet:

All That Deserves a Name
The White Bands of Caramhghas, which bind the soul as well as the body
The Scars of Caramhghas, which can only be seen by those who have worn the White Bands
The Black Hall, where the Bands are used
The Vizier Rowanoak, it was he who imprisoned me in the Black Hall, delighting in my torment.

Feats Heroic
Glum - Wrists together, hands spread open, they thrust their soul towards the foe with deadly intent.
Jovial - The Scars ignite into brilliant light, inflicting pain to both parties in equal measure

All That Deserves a Name

Feats Heroic

The #crowdsourcedrogues party continues over on the Discord. Just add a name and a trick! (https://discord.gg/C7rZcac to join the Discord!)

Things Deserving a Name
The Crows of the Shadow Wood - My Clan, executed for their beliefs
The Vicious Murder - A large group of crows, each housing the vengeful soul of one of my kin
The Waykeeper - A shrouded being who commands and guides me

Feats Heroic
Jovial - I toss my clansman's black-stained noose as a lasso, and pull it with all the fury of the Crows.
Glum: A Waykeeper's whisper and the call of a distant crow foreshadow the demise soon to befall the non-believers.

Hello Rogues!

Hello Rogues!

I am running three interconnected sessions of Swords at Dexcon this weekend. I plan to tie them together using Echoes of the Past, a shared communally created map, and just general good gamemastering. I think that those three will likely do the trick, but I was wondering what feats all of you might perform is undertaking such a task - especially as I see Epidiah Ravachol has been cooking up new phrases, rituals and such!

Swords Without Master; "Anthology" by Dig a Thousand Holes Publishing; presented by Keith Stetson. An INDEPENDENTLY PUBLISHED GAME - Part of the Indie Games Explosion! Sundered from us by gulfs of time and stranger dimensions dream ancient worlds and ancient tales. Take up sword and staff, pen and ink, and inscribe your own tale in the Anthology. These stories written on air will be composed by us over a series of three linked gaming sessions. Play one session to play a short story; play them all for the full Anthology.

So we decided to make a crowd-sourced rogue over on the Discord channel.

So we decided to make a crowd-sourced rogue over on the Discord channel. The rogue has everything but a name and a trick. Feel free to use this as a pre-gen for an impromptu game of Swords Without Master. Come join us on the discord for more Swords! #crowdsourcedrogues

All that deserves a Name
The Silver Sand – An endless desert filled with strange devices of bright metal, capable of wondrous effects
Ancient Chrome - Shiny stain-resistant artifacts of various shapes and usefulness. Sometimes good armor!
The Emperor's Daughter - So beautiful the Chrome Samurai cannot put his eyes directly on anybody else

Feats Heroic
Jovial - The silver of his equipment rings, buzzes, vibrates with a powerful energy, erupting in a fearsome explosion!
Glum - The memory of the Emperor's Daughter fills his mind, clouding his judgement and reminding him how alone he is in the world

Trick
Your Choice!

I have created a SWM "Helper" on RoleGate.

I have created a SWM "Helper" on RoleGate. It is a complete quick-reference you can add to a game on RG, usable as both a play aid and an onboarding tool for introducing new players. If you're already a RG user, it's under the new Helpers ("?") button. If you're not already a RG user, come join the fun!
