Pic related, the aftermath once the gang had returned to town.
Last week, they traveled to a small hobbit town to pick up a suit of armor that Jack commissioned. On the way back, they destroyed a camp of Orcs that had been rounding up dinosaurs. Jack rode a brontosaurus, befriending it and crushing many orc houses. They discovered a temple under the camp, dedicated to one of the apostles of Bagogi the Earth Monkey that was sealed in stone 200 years ago. Of course, they had a hard time with the temple guardians, a pack of chimps and the legendary orangutan known as the "King of Swing". Ed tried to loot a chest in a small pond during the battle, and met a large Snid who had been trapped there by the King of Swing for 30 years, who, gaining confidence, beat up the great ape with a tree.

Fucking hell. I finished Tordek. I hope my name doesn't show up and that whatever pdf reader anyone who downloads this uses supports the little notes things.

I was hesitant to include his magic gear, because A) Fantasy Craft characters aren't dependent on magic items to stay relevant and B) they are really boring items. However, deciding to recreate the items mostly faithfully, I included four of them.

There are 6 unspent proficiencies and 2 unspecified Interests, as neither do I know nor does the archive provided show what those resources might best reflect Tordek.

Ran a one-shot of The Cleansing of Black Spur last month for my brother and his roommates, none of whom had played a tabletop RPG before. Made a couple dozen premade characters, with several race options for each, and let them pik what they wanted and fill in the details.

Wound up with a party consisting of (in order from most to least serious):
>Arathorn, the Hart Nation Archer Soldier
>Mal Reynolds (yes, named for the Firefly character), the Elf Ranger Scout, specializing in javelins and bolas
>Pech Cleric Paladin, whose name I can't remember
>Bolbi, the Orc Barbarian Soldier
>Taylor Swift, the Unborn Guardian Bloodsworn

T Swift was the most ridiculous by far. The guy played the character as an incorrigible slutbot, flirting with anything remotely male (including wyverns), and writing cheesy breakup songs during rest breaks.

GM is offering FREE RACIAL FEATS to encourage mixed races and heritages for his campaign world. So of course, he got two humans.

Human one is three parts steppe nomad, two parts viking, one part scottish highlander. She's proud, stronk, uses a greatsword to sever people from their existence, and despises backing down. Human [sturdy] Barbarian background and Soldier class.
She's also six feet tall, covered in red scales, and breathes fire. And conspicuously lacking on armor. Didn't wear much to begin with, and what there was kinda got slagged when she received some fire-oriented divine intervention.(It was so hot though.)

Human two is much shorter, from civilized lands. Ex-military, though she never got too high. She uses revolvers, loves being lauded and respected nearly as much as the halfdragon, and hates having the responsibilities that come with authority. She's also got a pair of moth-wings growing out of her back, and her own feywild demesne, where time progresses at 1/144th the pace it does in the real world. She also has a minion/secretary/adjustant/groundskeeper inadvertently trapped there who manages her demesne while she's away. She's absolutely terrified of her fey mother, who, to be fair, can do some *really* unpleasant things to people. Fey.
Human, [agile I think?] and Burglar.

We are occasionally followed by barbarian's minion, beastfolk shaman (think jaguargirl) who owes the barbarian a lifedebt. A very nice crossbow, an aversion to melee, and the only source of healing in the party other than action dice and sleep; a pretty good medicine skill. Might be making another showing, but she was MIA for a while and subjected to some serious mind-molestation.

I started GMing to a group today.

This game is so fucking underrated. We played through 3 (2,5) scenes without a single encounter and everyone was able to do something viable for the group.

To be on subject, i have a combat oriented explorer, a sneaky scout sniper, a kinda social burglar and a wannabe dragon disciple priest.

If i ever found a lamp of little wishes, i'd wish that DnD would disappear forever and be replaced by FC .

I really want to try out running fantasy craft games, but I'm still having a few doubts and problems.

First off, how much of the meta game story 'mechanics' do I need to use and learn? These are things like campagin qualities, scenes, reputations and all that kind of stuff. I usually am very wary of games that make these mechanical gameplay elements instead of leaving then ambiguous and up to GM control, but I kind of want to give them a try here to play something really crunchy, not my normal forte

Secondly, how easy is it to give characters strange abilities, mutations, or incorporate other strangeness unto character creation? I ask because I enjoy letting players start with characters who are in a firm class or niche, like a fighter, but they have the ability to control ghosts or some other minor magical ability.

Third, how easy is it to create and/or change races to fit a custom campagin setting? I'm an avid worldbuilder, and I appreciate all the races included in the base game but I want to know how by the books the game is about this kind of thing.

TL;DR Really crazy homebrew rules lite GM here, how can I make FC work for me?

One, she's kinda insane, due to having been trapped there for a couple subjective centuries.
Two, she might die if she left- having been trapped there for a couple centuries, well beyond nominal lifespan.
Three, we're travelling through faux-China. Middle and lower class are kobolds, middle and upper class are halfdragons like barbarian, and if you aren't one of those, you're a slave. If nobody has claimed you, that means it's open season. Unless she wants a nifty set of tattoos/brandings identifying herself as one, she's gotta wait until the way (Burglar, since she's the one who can open the way,) is in a different region.

Campaign qualities, scenes, and many other things are nearly purely up to GM control. Rep can be given out when the GM wants, but is a reward of finishing an adventure.

Several campaign qualities will give your players' characters some very interesting things. Look into alignments and paths for giving them some flavorful stuff.

Races are built along a point buy path, and you could switch them out if need be. Species creation guide in the OP.

TL;DR: FC is SUPER geared toward homebrew and modularity.

Really? I had no idea. I thought that was what prevented you from entering or exiting at will.

...fuck, you're right. Huh.

It still seems like having rage but no acrobatics skill is VERY dangerous, since all someone has to do is trip you to force you out of your stance, at which point you're fatigued.

The metagame type mechanics are pretty essential, but they're pretty open-ended for the most part.

Campaign qualities are more like a menu of officially suggested houserules you can use to tweak things to fit the sort of tone and themes you prefer. You can pretty much ignore them entirely starting off if you want, though since you say you like worldbuilding you'd probably do well to look through for ideas of how to tailor the game to your world. They're basically giving you ways to mechanically support certain intended styles of setting and gameplay so you don't have to do all the system-hacking yourself.

Scenes are pretty much just using the natural flow of the story to ration limited-use abilities and set durations for temporary effects. It's entirely up to the GM when a scene begins and ends, as long as the breaks coincide with natural shifts in the flow of the story. Most likely, you've been running campaigns on a scene-divided basis already in whatever other systems you use even if you haven't consciously been thinking about it as such; the only difference would be that FC uses that natural storytelling tempo for actual mechanical purposes. For the most part it's a way to adjust pacing; you can have really big scenes covering a whole prolonged bout of adventuring to build a sense of tension and attrition as scene-based resources dwindle, or you can have short scenes, barely more than an encounter or two, to give a fast-paced action-packed feel.

Reputation and Renown are pretty vague and are fully intended to be subject to modification by the GM. They're not really something you can remove, but they can be adjusted to fit pretty much however you like your campaign to be. They're pretty abstract mechanics, and the GM has a lot of influence on how players can acquire and use them. The same principle of being abstract and easy to adjust to fit your campaign applies to most of the more "metagamey" mechanics in FC, really.

As far as giving players unusual abilities to start, the system fully endorses making whatever tweaks you like to the character creation process according to what fits the game you prefer to play. There are several campaign qualities for just such a purpose (though generally more simple than the kind of stuff you're talking about). Depending on the sort of abilities you have in mind, it may be tricky to come up with how to frame it in a mechanical way that isn't overly exploitable, but you can do quite a lot by giving bonus feats or Prizes, or by adapting various character options. For example, your "control ghosts" idea could be represented by giving the player a Step on the Path of Spirits, giving them a little resistance to damage from spirits and some minor at-will spells fluffed as getting help from spirits. Or you could give him a variation on the Ranger specialty's Animal Empathy ability, giving him an automatic Disposition bonus with spirits. Or a Contact or Personal Lieutenant who's a ghost. Or any number of various things.

You might need to adjust encounter design to account for the extra power players have from the bonus abilities you provide, but encounter difficulty adjustment is more of an expected part of the GM's role in FC to begin with. There's not really a strict "by the book" rule for how you must design encounters.

Races in FC are designed according to a point-based system that's been reverse-engineered by the fans, so tweaking races or building new ones from scratch is a breeze. There are links in the OP to guides for homebrewing races.

Generally speaking, not very. The rulebook is a pain in the ass to get your head around on an initial readthrough, since it's laid out in a very convoluted and user-unfriendly way, but each of the various components is pretty simple and intuitive, and it all fits together neatly once you get the whole picture.

All the various "metagamey" subsystems you're concerned with are pretty simple and straightforward, and aren't really major complications to a natural storytelling style at all. You can't really outright ignore them entirely, since there are a lot of things that use them, but they're pretty unobstrusive and won't bind your hands from running the story in a logical fashion.

Reputation is simply a resource used to buy things mere coin can't. Mechanically, it's just a form of currency, and the GM has plenty of control over its flow. It's also pretty abstract, so just what is represented by earning and spending a given amount of Rep is completely in the hands of the GM and players to determine as suits the campaign and characters. And you can certainly acquire anything bought with Rep by logical means aside from actually spending Rep, just like you can acquire things you might buy with coin by other means -- as loot, as a gift, etc.

Similarly, Renown is pretty much simply a gating mechanism on how freely you can throw your Rep around. It also is fairly abstract; aside from the three tracks indicating what sort of circles you're known/have pull in, the details are entirely up to you to determine, and even the Renown tracks can be changed to suit your campaign.

And so on for the rest of such things. The mechanics for these things are fairly minimalistic and open to adjustment and interpretation as necessary for your campaign to make sense.

Oh and here is one more question.

How easy is it to remake magic users and magic systems? I ask because I like a lot of types of magic users, and often like magic systems that don't even use mana points in the same way, such as a negative like chaos energy that manipulates further spells or folk Magick that has no casting cost beyond time, materials and knowledge but whose effects are incredibly specific and mystical instead of big and flashy.

Out of the box, there's a very distinct mechanical divide between arcane and divine magic. There are also a number of campaign qualities to modify each type, so you can have a variety of different styles simply by applying different campaign qualities to casters of different (in-setting) types. For instance, you might have some arcane casters use the Corrupting Magic and Potent Magic qualities (more powerful spells, but whenever you cast you have to make a Will save or become Tainted), while others use normal casting rules.

Might not be quite as robust a set of tools as you might like for the level of variety you're looking for, but it's a decent start. The upcoming Spellbound supplement is supposed to have a whole bunch of new guidelines and options for customizing magic to your setting, but God only knows when that'll be released.

The game is really good about letting everyone be able to pull their weight in areas outside of their primary focus. If you're familiar with the class tier system in 3.5, basically every class is a tier 3: Awesome at their main schtick, able to pull their weight in a fair number of other things, but not trivializing challenges unless they've really stretched to put together a monster munchkin build or the challenge plays directly to their main strength in a big way.

The skill system really encourages and enables you to have a well-rounded spread of capabilities: Everyone gets enough skill points and options of skills to invest in that you can easily have a nice, broadly-applicable set of skills with enough ranks to be useful at them. There are 20 skills in total, the lowest amount of skill points any class gets is 4 + Int per level, and the point buy system is inclined more toward well-rounded rather than highly-specialized stat spreads so a 12 in Int is pretty easy to get. So you can easily max at least 1/4 of the skills in the game even with a low-skill class, or since the typical skill check DCs and NPC skill bonuses are low enough that you can get away with not fully maxing out skills, get some more breadth by spreading your points out a bit more. And since the skill list is so condensed and the game is designed around skills as much as other kinds of character abilities, any given skill you invest in is fairly broadly applicable, including many skills (including social skills) having useful combat applications.

It's also really easy to pick up extra versatility through your Specialty, often just as an extra coming along with a package you picked for entirely different reasons. For instance, the Gladiator specialty gives free ranks in Impress when you buy ranks in Athletics, which is a good skill for a combatant to have anyway -- both for the intuitively obvious purposes, and because in FC, Grapple and Bull Rush are opposed Athletics checks.

I am the person you answered to, but >>43308904 answered awesomely.

I will put my input too. For the skill system, i have made a major change to make it look like the 5th's one (the only part of 5th i like) with few fixes.

To give exact examples. The game has the interests system, which basically is knowledges or extra languages that the character knows. The fightery explorer invested in a specialty which granted him extra interests, and he put the studies "history" "archeology" "geography" and "geology" in them. So, from the moment they entered a dungeony area, he was able to (and continually did) check the glyphs on the walls, and played the part of the scholar of the team (yes, the "warrior").

The burglar has taken a specialty and talent that allowed her to have some social abilities. Thus, when they tried to spak to an inkeeper and a guardsman earlier, she was the one initiating the speech and used her charming abilities on them.

Alright here's some discussion to have, I need help coming up with ideas for my session.

So in the past 6 sessions the lads found out that the Snid King of the East is planning to invade the eastern land settlements. They have gained the trust and cooperation of the cyclopes, merfolk, and several other allies, For this session they're planning on assaulting the Snid's supply lines to fuck them over - there will be hopefully lots of stealth (so the slimegirl burglar can shine) and a naval combat sequence for the pirate soldier to show his skills. I'm also planning on making it have some non-combat encounters.

What I need is ideas of some skill related things they can do, to break up the combat heavy monotony I have going so far this campaign. So what are some good things I can throw in? Lots of sneaking obviously, they'll negotiate with pic related to get a boat (he's selling it for a lot, hopefully they don't just kill him), and some ride checks for sure during the naval fight.

Give ideas.

It's moving along as best they can spare the resources for it. They have a lot of irons in the fire to keep the company afloat, including Spycraft 3.0 and starting up some new card and board games, all aimed for release sometime 2016, so their manpower is stretched a bit thin.

According to the most recent reports, it's pretty damn near finished, with all the rules content drafted and almost entirely (or perhaps by now completely) edited. Aside from maybe some last bits of editing, the main thing left is putting it all together into a publishable finished product. But since they don't have the luxury of a staff large enough to dedicate people to that task as a full-time priority without holding back other projects that also really need to get done, it'll most likely be sometime next year that the releases start rolling out.

Going by the updates they've been giving on the forums, a Kickstarter probably wouldn't be much help at this point, as the major hangup is manpower rather than funding. And a Kickstarter requires some manpower to set up and manage, and even if it did raise enough money to hire on some new people to work as dedicated staff for finishing Spellbound, the time it would take to complete the Kickstarter, vet prospective hires, and acclimate the newbies to the way things are supposed to work probably wouldn't be particularly faster than just plugging away as they have been, given how close to the end it is.

Like, instead of meeting up with some buddies and having fun rolling dice and telling stories, you're meeting up with someone who hates your guts and spending a few hours trying to viciously put one over them without letting them do the same to you, all while they hold absolute rule over what actually works.

That's the kind of game where pleasure is derived from making some utterly broken character and tearing up the GM's rails rather than actually playing the game.

So, I've been thinking of a campaign.

There are two continents. One has recently been fully enveloped by the most powerful empire in history: The Empire of Man.

They have started to lay siege on the second continent. They employ dwarves and giants in their military in specialized roles. For example, they retro-fitted the golem technology they used to fight the giants to create what is essentially power armor for the giants(They had to use giant steampunk-like robots to fight the giants).

They've already conquered some elven nations on this new continent. The empire is pretty much Ancient Roman Empire mixed with British Empire. But there are some imperial scholars from the Imperial Colleges of the Metaphysical, attached to the military, who believe a great power lies deep within the continent.

It just so happens that the players are after it to(because money).

My problem is what is it? I was thinking some thing like the Star Forge from Kotor; a infinitely powerful and infinitely complicated machine that can create(or destroy) enter worlds. Possibly made by ayy lmaos.

Thoughts? I dont think it would be too interesting.

It doesn't really need to be anything that outlandishly powerful. The exact nature of the MacGuffin in this scenario doesn't much matter, only that it's something people are really motivated to get their hands on for whatever reason.

Something with the godlike power you suggest would certainly do the trick, but you could easily go a lot smaller-scale and still get the same effect. An arcane power source that can turbocharge spellcasting to hitherto unheard-of levels, a magical WMD, a powerful war-construct that could singlehandedly crush entire armies, an Ark of the Covenant type relic that ensures victory for those who bear it into battle, a scrying device that would change the face of military intel. Even something on the really mundane end, like some kind of artifact that produces incredible amounts of food would do the trick; there are numerous examples of such magic items in traditional legends and folklore, and if it's sufficient to feed an army the military implications in terms of liberation from normal logistical/supply-line constraints would be huge.

Pick whatever you like, really. All that really matters is that people want it badly enough to stage military expeditions and/or hire murderhobos for a ridiculous fee to get it.

As far as whether the premise is interesting or not, it all depends on how well you flesh out the competing sides and work the PCs into the issue. The premise as described isn't super exciting on its own (though giants with steampunk power-armor sounds pretty rad), but it definitely has potential. It's a pretty generic "conquering empire is after the MacGuffin" setup, but there's nothing wrong with a generic foundation if you build some interesting personalities and adventures on top of it. I could see a reasonably interesting campaign where the PCs are working for a basically neutral third party just after the MacGuffin for sale to the highest bidder, and caught in the middle of the conflict between Empire and natives.

Dwarven mercenary captain leading the merry band of murder hobbos in a mongol wintery nation (or group of nations/clans).

Working for drug smugglers to take out shipments for their rivals in the frozen wastelands before hanging around too long looting and mending so a bear smelling the spilled blood turns up and mauls the captain to near death.

Get back to the capital after bluffing past guards that we were traders attacked by a bear en-route. Get stopped by some batman type figure asking us not to deliver the goods.

We are kind neutral good and to fulfill the contract we needed to just destroy the shipment, not deliver to our employer so we torch it in the slums and escape into the night with some samples of proof.

Get our gold, brand the horses from the stolen coach as our own and take up a contract with a dwarven mine owner. Miners have all downed tools and won't go back to work until the mine is cleared of gribblies.

Find down one tunnel a cloud of gas, dwarf captain volunteers to check it out. Shrugs off the poison to find a few dwarven bodies surrounded by spiders. Guys made last ditch defence before gassing themselves and the spiders (mad respect for dwarf-bros).

End up in showdown with large spider, initially sends many of the party fleeing, martial artist tells us to run and that he will hold it off. Some manage to gain their nerve and come back to help. Martial artist manages to grapple massive spider while others wail on it. Mission Accomplished.

Goblin flees into a sewer while other guards one of the party members ran off to get turn up and then accuse us of murder in the middle of the city.

Talk our way out of it, suspect greenskins sent by the person we stole the drugs from initially. Get a message our original employer has a job for us.

Hello fellow Fantasy Crafters, been lurking through the threads for months and I've run a few short lived campaigns of the game. So far my only gripe with the game is the vitality bloat towards higher levels and especially with higher level opponents. I was trying to think up some way to homebrew different rules for it rather than just increasing the threat level for weapons which just kind of bypasses the issue without dealing with it. any opinions on the matter?

All you really need to do is cut down the vitality gains per-level, pretty simple math tweak. Use the Fragile Heroes quality and apply it to NPCs as well, or otherwise cut down by whatever proportion seems appropriate. If you feel this makes characters too squishy in the early levels, give normal vitality for the first level or two and then cut down after that (not unlike how 3.5 has you gain the maximum possible hp from your HD at level 1).

Avoiding high Health grades for specials in higher levels also helps in general.

That's not a bad way to do it, given that the high vitality totals for special NPCs are mainly because of the fact that special adversaries will usually get ganged up on and thus need ot be able to absorb a fair bit of punishment in order to put up a decent fight.

It works great, because I only have two players. Without doing that, fights would take years. Though I still do x 3 to account for the guy who spends all his rounds shooting guns.

>Let's see your parties

I haven't actually played this yet. I shown my group some other games to get them off Pathfinder and they choose to play PTU instead. So here's some characters I made for shits and giggles:

>A courtier/keeper Guy Fieri parody
>A giant cat burglar that leaves 45 pound boulders as his calling card/ weapons
>A dwarf cleric/martial artist pacifist that deals non lethal damage to his foes and believes anyone can change
>An unborn with enough species feats to be literally a talking car.

I just love how I can make whatever stupid idea I want for a character and not worry about whether or not it works mechanically.

I'll be making a courtier for a game coming up in a few weeks, and I was wondering just how much a courtier have to offer his party in the way of support.

Is there a hard limit to just how much a courtier can ask of a contact? How useful have you found contacts in your game?

Also, how good of an idea is it to try and start with as much appearance as possible? If I understand it right, then appearance will only help with impress and bluff tests.

Have any of you played a/with a courtier before, and how did that go?

Every adventuring party needs one. Best part is you technically still have hands, so you can be a car with a gun.

You can even have a light cannon before you get those feats.
