I've brought quite a few AOS rpg books but still can't get my head around the game world. Can anyone recommend any good books that would fill in my blanks? Im looking towards the range of fiction books.
So, I'm currently feeling a little bored, so I thought, why not start a little discussion? Tell me about the most memorable Soulbound campaigns you've played. It could be any of the established ones like Shadows in the Mist or Blackened Earth or it could be something of your own making. Hit me with it all and spare no details, friends.
Does anyone have homebrew for the Helsmiths of Hashut for Champions of Chaos? I'm running a campaign and one of my players (and also me) is a big fan of dwarfs. I'm mostly looking for archetypes but would more than welcome a custom boons and punishment table for the Father of Darkness.
How far do you think it's okay to remove archetype prerequisites for talents and equipment?
To clarify, I'm planning to run this system in a setting other than fantasy, which is why this question came up. I'm wondering whether these restrictions actually affect game balance, or if they're mostly there for thematic reasons.
For example, would it be a balance issue to let an Orc use and forge UR-Gold runes, allow a Human to use Kharadron equipment and talents, or even let an Aelf take talents from an Ossiarch Bonereaper archetype?
At what point do you think these limitations stop being about mechanically balancing the game and become primarily a way of defining and reinforcing each archetype's identity within the setting?
Hey folks,
My name is Emmet Byrne. I was the producer and lead designer on the Age of Sigmar Soulbound corebook and various supplements until the wonderful Elaine Lithgow took over (and absolutely smashed it!). I left Cubicle 7 two years ago to found my own company, Old Oak Games. Our first release was an Irish-inspired fantasy setting for 5e, and really helped establish the company. However, I've always loved creating my own games and wanted to move away from 5e and get back to designing my own system.
Today, I am incredibly excited to announce Ink Ribbon, a survival-horror TTRPG inspired by video games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Alan Wake, and more. Ink Ribbon uses a d6 dice pool system, and if you're a fan of the Soulbound system (especially the Grim & Perilous rules), I think you'll really like it.
You can follow the campaign here, which will give you access to a free 100 page PDF with all the rules, plus a nice chunky adventure.
Lastly, I just wanted to say that seeing how active and passionate the community is about Soulbound and what we created always makes me smile. Despite how things ended with C7 I will always love Soulbound and I'm incredibly proud of it.
Thanks for indulging me, and apologies for the shameless self-promo!
Hi, I'm new to Age of Sigmar and recently got my hands on a number of books and have gotten interested in the game. I'm still reading through stuff, but there was something concerning character creation I wanted to ask about:
What's the general advice for human archetypes? I had wanted to make a wandering knight errant esque character as a test drive under the assumption I was making the most standard fantasy character imaginable- guy with a sword. But when going through the Archetypes I couldn't quite find any that could fully.... match that. There's Corsairs, but that's a fairly specific group doing a fairly specific thing and Warpriests have a devotion thing that, while cool, I didn't really picture this guy as the paladin type.
So, how does one go about making a human Guy With Sword in this system? Do I need to just go and immediately use the Archetype modification rules or Point Buy? Or am I missing something?
As well as just generally advice on how to deal with the seemingly low options for human PCs on the Archetype front.
I picked up the Laundry 2e books, and I'm excited to run it for my friends. However, we only play online and the Laundry 2e system is not available as a Foundry system yet. (I hope it will be eventually!)
I own the Soulbound system modules for Foundry--the Core book, the Starter Set and a couple others available. The Laundry 2e system is very similar to the Soulbound system. Combat and skill rolls seem to work in almost the same way.
Does anyone think it might be possible to kluge a Soulbound character sheet to function as a Laundry character sheet? Basically, the Skills would not match by name, but maybe translate each level of skills 1:1 and give my players a translation sheet. When rolling for X, roll Y on the Soulbound character sheet.
Does anyone think this could work or is it just wishful thinking? Any roadblocks you can think of to pulling this off?
Hello
As a hobbie, I've made a few tools to ease the life of TTRPG players. For example, NPC and encounter generators for Warhammer Fantasy RPG, a world generator based on Worlds Without Number, etc.
At this point, I'd like to create something new, but I'm not sure what to do. My ideal is something that hasn't been done before, the creation of which can save people time/effort (for example, I have a 40k Space Marine chapter generator based on the Deathwatch TTRPG which automates about 25 rolls and table comparisons to a single click).
I pray for the wisdom and guidance of the hive mind :)
