Forbidden Lands - Rules Summary

Image
Well, turns out i wasn't really up for writing about the characters of our campaign or the online setup we used for our home group. So instead I though I would share a handy little handout for players and GMs learning their way around the Forbidden Lands ruleset.  We used this handout for our home group and revised it a few times over the course of the campaign. It's available on itch.io:  https://andershl.itch.io/forbidden-lands-rules-summary I hope it can help some people to get into this great game. A small shoutout to idleredhands.com and their Forbidden Lands reference sheets. I drew plenty of inspiration from them.

A particular highlight was the events leading up to break-in at Amber's Peak, as well as the nighttime infiltration of the castle that turned violent, real quick. The starting hex Before the first session, I spend several days prepping the map , to allow players to choose their own star

What? why? and how?

What is this? This is a blog for roleplaying content. I'll be using this place to share stuff like:  GM advice and GM content from my home games Session reports from my home games Homebrew documents: adventures, supplements and setting materials Game design documents / self-publishing documents Other random stuff... Why? I started this blog primarily for these two reasons: To spark my creativity and force myself to create something on a bi-weekly basis To share content with others who might find it useful and enjoy it How? Because I have a noodle spine when it comes to sticking with projects, I am giving myself a single rule I need to adhere by: A new post, every week. Focus on creation and it's routines! Roleplaying roots My first foray into roleplaying games was Drager & Dæmoner, a swedish roleplaying game translated into danish. Our group soon transitioned into Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, which would be our staple RPG system for many years to come. In my twenties I took
