Sunday Morning Swords: 31 August 2014

Sunday Morning Swords: 31 August 2014
#WhileTheWizardsAwayEdition  

Good morning!

blatantly stealing Eppy's text

Here's our organizational thread. Comment here if you'd like to play this morning. Also mention whether you might want to be an Overplayer, and whether you've played Swords before.

When we get an Overplayer and three or four Rogue Players, those players will run off and start their hangout. For now, let's focus on getting everyone into a group. We'll probably wait until 9:15 or 9:30 EDT to start the last group.

Feel free to enjoy some breakfast or brunch while playing.

Also, feel free to use the hashtag   #SundayAMSwords  should you desire to chat about your game on the social medias.

P.S. Got some tips on how to do this and links to useful files here: http://www.worldswithoutmaster.com/blog/2014/7/14/sunday-morning-swords

Epidiah, are there any online actual play examples with you as Overplayer?

Epidiah, are there any online actual play examples with you as Overplayer? I think it would be a useful learning tool.

Barring unforeseen obstacles, I will be serving as Overplayer (first time!) for #SundayAMSwords this Sunday, August...

Barring unforeseen obstacles, I will be serving as Overplayer (first time!) for #SundayAMSwords this Sunday, August 31, at 9:00AM Eastern. I hope to see several of you there.

If you're thinking of playing, and have a link to the rogue you think you'll play, post it in the comments. You are perfectly free to change your mind and play a different rogue, or find yourself surprisingly awake on Sunday morning and leap upon the game unheralded. I'd just like to let That Which Must Be Named percolate through my subconscious for the next day or so!

Thanks. See you Sunday!

This place struck me as an interesting location for some Rogues to encounter.

This place struck me as an interesting location for some Rogues to encounter. Perhaps a nice isolated place for worship or sorcery. Imagine the bells ringing out over the gardens and orchards.

This one's not a question, it's more of an offering =)

I like some visual aids when playing via hangouts, so I made this google Draw document. It has space for threads, Rogue summaries, a reminder of tones and basic phases and counters for dice and tone. The screenshot below is in French, but here's a link to an English version in case it's useful to some of you.

(Edit: thanks to Renato Ramonda, its a template now.)

2 Players?

2 Players?

A session of S/lay w/Me with my wife crashed and burned yesterday, and I started talking to her about Swords Without Master. We're planning to look over Swords's rules tonight, and see if we can adapt it to two players, and if we'd rather play SWM than S/w/M.

I remember you were working on a 2-player variant Epidiah Ravachol, has there been any more progress on that? Anything we could test for you?

I know about this thread down here: https://plus.google.com/112165300112510479765/posts/C77f7cqnRDM
