Scranford's Savage Iron Kingdoms - The Witchfire Trilogy (Inactive)

Game Master scranford

I'm going to attempt to run a game again on here. The last one ended quickly, but I think that additional time, and using Savage Worlds rules might just make this one work. Will be running the Witchfire Triology Revised, then seeing where things go from there. I've got several players interested now, and will PM some others that I have experience with. If needed I'll open up for recruitment.

Бери́сь дру́жно, не бу́дет гру́зно - [If all of us] take hold of [it] together, it won't feel heavy.

A slightly off-kilter halfling checking in with his Khadoran something. Will shape around the others as to whether he is loyal to Khador or a defector or what not.

Checking in.

Worth noting I know next to nothing about the Iron Kingdoms setting. I once had the rule book for the tabletop wargame, but I never actually played it.

scranford - where does the Witchfire Trilogy start out in IK? - that way I can start figuring out how to put together my guy as well as giving mikeawmids a bit of a steer.

You will all be escorting a Caravan on the way to Corvis. I'm ruling that the Caravan began in Five Fingers, so anywhere along that route is acceptable.

Decent enough primer on IK

Having now found out about the ushkuiniks of Novgorod... I shall be makink Russian pirate da? Da!

Checking in.

Welcome. Google search "Savage Worlds Iron Kingdoms", and you'll find a pretty good conversion wiki. At least good enough to get started.

Checking in. I have a bit to do to come up to speed.

Checkin in.

Unsurprisingly thinking of a plaid wearing Trollkin with broad Scots thrawn intae the mashie :)

I'm thinking about a Llael alchemist, specialising in blackpowder / demolitions. :D

Looks like you got good interest already. Thanks for the invite, but I am going to be an initial bystander. I will read along and watch the setting unfold as my introduction. Down the road, I will see about getting my feet wet if you need somebody.

Are you running Savage Worlds rules in the Iron Kingdoms setting? I'm very familiar with the IK rules but have never heard of Savage Worlds. Anyway, I don't want to take your time as this is invitation only. I'm just interested because I only got to DM IK and desperately wanted to play it.

You might be in luck. One of the original spots has been put on hold for a while, so if you want to read up on the Savage Worlds rules, we might have a spot for you. Let me know after you review the rules. If the other player decides to play 5 is no problem.

So for an initial interest run we've got:

• Mark Sweetman - Khadoran Pirate
  
• Black Dow - Trollkin ?
  
• John Woodford - ?
  
• Mikeawmids - Llael Alchemist
  
• Hilde Alfvorne - ?
  
• Meowzebub - May join later after they see how much fun we're having
  

Da, is good for me.

Hoots Mon! Lookit like a richt bunch o' quality bams ;)

Andrej Bulavin, Kossite hunter. Still some work to do on character setup (and rules work), but at least I have a starting point.

Am in the same boat as John - have a notion (detailed above) but still a load to do regards getting my head round the character gen and system.

Getting scraps from here and there, but will take a wee while to get my head round a new approach...

[mikeawmids] Here is my Llael alchemist, still working on the stats/background.

I'm fairly proficient in Savage worlds, so if anyone needs any help, just let me know what you're trying to accomplish, and I'll help.

Good afternoon everyone and thank you for the invite, scranford.

I am totally un-proficient in Savage Worlds. Read the rules for the first time last night. I have a copy of the revised rules is that okay?

It may take me a while to decide about this due to being half way through a move across the English Channel. It could take me a week or two to sort a PC, but you said the start date will be September.

What sorts of roles have people taken so far?

Cheers

Waves to French Wolf - discussion thread is live, so I'll respond over there :)

Thanks Mark. I would have said the same thing. I've got a pretty easy (
Read no travel) work week, so should be able to get up some more background stuff, and begins discussing options later this week.

Thread bumped for one more player.

Interest is piqued !
It's been a while since I cracked my IK books, so I'll have to take a look see this evening.

Dig them out, and let me know.

OK wavering between an Ogrun or a sorcerer/wizard type. Busy day today, will think it over and get some crunch together this evening.

Spazmodeus...do you think you can get your character up this weekend. If you need some assistance I'll be glad to help... Now is a good time to work in a new character.

Here's Spazmodeus' Orgrun, Gorrum.
Please let me know if I messed anything up.

Can any of you guys assign avatars to your profiles....I can't seem to .... I've sent a message to customer service.

Close...You are only allowed to take up to one Major, and two minor hindrances at character creation. So you need to drop one of your majors, and it's accompanying bonus (Either your edge, or one of your ability die increases).

In addition you get half your Smarts die in Knowledge skills for free. (3 unless you choose to lower your smarts). Knowledge skills are standard Pathfinder, plus IK additions. See Campaign Info tab for more options These can be chosen as three different skills at d4, or one one at d6 and one at d4, or any other combination.

We are also using the multiple languages option, so you get half your smarts die in additional languages as well. I'll list them in the campaign info tab as well.

The wiki conversion says I get the Code of Honor automatically as a Ogrun ( no points awarded tho)

ok i'll get the knowledge figured out.
