Title: Iron Kingdoms RPG - Fools Rush In
Post by: Smitehappy on October 08, 2012, 01:14:17 am
Long story short, the launch of the 2nd edition of the Iron Kingdoms RPG has really peeked my interest in tabletop RPGs. RPGs are no fun without players though and before I try to bait my friends into playing the introductory adventure Fools Rush In I'd like to get some experience running a game so I don't fumble at the wheel. A play by post is a little more forgiving to the GM and I'm hoping with the help of the wonderful Bay12 community I'll be able to get a feel for being a GM. So without further a due I present Fools Rush In!

Fools Rush In is an introductory adventure provided free of charge by Privateer Press designed to introduce players and GMs to the 2nd edition Iron Kingdoms RPG. It contains a streamline version of the IKRPG rules to give a feel of how the full game plays and the above mentioned adventure Fools Rush In. Sadly the rules for generating characters aren't included, instead four pre-generated characters are provided for the players. They include:

Colbie Sterling Aka "The Boss Lady

Colbie's Laborjack "Doorstop"

Gardek Stonebrow aka "The Muscle"

Milo Boggs aka "The Specialist"
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Eilish Garrity aka "The Sleuth"
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They are all members of The Blackstone Irregulars, a mercenary group founded by Colbie who are looking to get their Charter signed by the local watch. While the local watch captain has been allowing the Blackstone Irregulars to operate without a charter in exchange for working the odd side-job, getting their charter signed would establish them as a reputable mercenary group giving them first choice on bounties and jobs. Their adventure begins in Fools Rush In with the local watch captain offering the Blackstone Irregulars just such a chance.

Before that though I'll need four players to each pick one of the four Blackstone Irregulars. Just post if your interested and what character you'd like to play. If you are interested please make sure to read the game mechanics in this handy PDF.

Is this IRC or PBP? I'm not sure this belongs in RTD.

Don't think this belongs in the RTD section.

Agreed, but I played a bit of War-machine back in the day.

Well theoretically speaking, an RPG is basically an RTD with extremely complicated mechanics, as well as the use of dice other than a d6. I suppose this would fit more in the forum games section though.

Ah, I had it in my head Roll To Dodge was for any RPGs involving actual dice rolls instead of just straight role-playing. I'll send a PM to a Moderator and see if I can get it moved.

You can move it yourself. The function should be at the bottom of this thread's page.
