I'm sure someone could make a rogue out of this tour poster, and there's more than enough inspiration in the band's music.

tony dowler just released an awesome map on his Patreon that you could run Swords off of for months.
tony dowler just released an awesome map on his Patreon that you could run Swords off of for months. You should probably go back him. If you do it at $5, your mini-fridge could be covered with postcards as awesome as the ones my mini-fridge is covered with!

Good morning, my rogues!
Good morning, my rogues! I am, unfortunately, trapped on top of a mountain and unable to join you this morning. Though I suspect many of you are at conventions this morning, the rest should feel free to give it a go.

“The Acidic Fury of Ancient Bara”
A tale of #SundayAMSwords
Opening eidolon: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/503629170805306548/
Four rogues, clinging to fragment of aircraft carrier, afloat upon a lake of acid. Hooting and hollering from the spiky shores. Taryb: A flurry of motion from stone to stone amidst the hungry yellow acid. The Scythian’s spell highlighting the handholds to climb a carved, rocky pillar. Arvin the Shadow hurling a rope tied to a throwing knife. The toppled pillar, a bridge. Beneath, a banshee machine trapped by height for the good of all.
Walking amidst the sharp-edged badlands. On open ground, a banshee machine, hovering on cushion of green energy. Flails coated in gore. Two red eyes locking on Baltazar. “Felinoid acquired.” Rock shattered into flying shrapnel. The Shadow’s quick blade. A raging machine, blind in one eye. Lurching. A flail cracking open a geyser of acid and spinning it around. The Scythian’s shield dissolved. Baltazar cornered, tossing vial to Taryb. “Use this!” Blind machine turning toward voice. Facing danger, it is sometimes best to remain unnoticed. Taryb atop the machine, dodging flame jets. The vial with no opening smashed. Bright yellow fluid tracing all the seams and inner workings. The sound of machinery grinding the opposite way it should.
Tribe of small figures in slick, black leathers. Examining the banshee wreckage and rogues’ tools. The rogues in small caves, blocked by stone bars.
The Shadow hears whispers of the moon: The ancient Bara empire, builder of fleets of banshee-machines. Machines built to house the ghosts of conquered peoples and to be used to conquer more peoples. Baltazar seeing that the banshee machines had killed his people. Their souls its fuel. The Scythian discerning the sturdiness of this acid-proof rock. Pterosaur alighting with more leather-clads. Examine your surroundings, but not too closely lest you get them on you.
There is some ruckus as the leather-clads come to take the secrets of defeating the banshee-machines from the rogues. Ancient rivalries renewed. Taryb evading the leather-clads. Breaking the storage tank in the heart of the banshee-machine. The souls spilling out, hoisting her aloft. Glum, quiet ghosts. Baltazar laying the ghosts of his people to peace. The Scythian’s MEGATOME to the rescue! The sturdy rock cracking. A geyser of acid! The Shadow, unnoticed, gathering the Ghost Scroll from the banshee-machine. Upon the pterosaur, the rogues safely gone.
The Scythian portrayed by Aaron Feild Taryb portrayed by Keith Stetson Arvin the Shadow portrayed by Richard Ruane And, introducing in his first game of Swords, Baltazar portrayed by Thomas G.

Good morning!
Here's our organizational thread. Comment below if you're interested in playing this morning and mention if you're comfortable being an Overplayer and whether or not you have play 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, and we'll start around 9:15-9:30 EST.
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
