Kickstarter pour l'extension "Hammer & Forge"

ça se passe ici:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/9742092/song-of-blades-hammer-and-forge

ça se concentre sur les nains (bof ...) avec (il me semble) une campagne. Et il y a des figs assez sympa aussi.

Si on est intéressé que par les pdf des règles, ça coute 9$. Possibilité d'ajouter 8$ pour avoir Advanced Song of Blade rules.

Tu as bien fais de le mettre, j'était sur le sujet la semaine dernière et je n'avais pas relevé de date et je venais juste d'en parler

Xavier et moi on va certainement faire notre premier pledge à 18$

d'avoir remonté l'info

Au sujet de Hammer & Forge, oui c'est centré sur les nains, on aime ou on aime pas ^^ Mais cet opus semble aussi ramener pas mal de règles et surtout compétences qui ont déjà attisé la curiosité de certains d'entre nous, et pour les quelles on n'a pas le descriptif, malgré qu'elles soient déjà dans la Warband Builder en ligne  

J'ai reçu un mail d'Andreas avec un descriptif de l'Advenced SBH

What is ADVANCED SONG OF BLADES AND HEROES?


AN UPDATED, MORE DETAILED VERSION OF THE AWARD-WINNING RULES

What content will be in the ‘Advanced’ version of SONG of BLADES being funded with the current Kickstarter and what sets it apart from ‘Standard’ version?

Advanced SOBH is the version of the rules that will be used for all future ‘SONG of BLADES’ expansions. It is the same as basic engine as SOBH but it adds:

1) reactions to opponents failed Quality rolls(optional rule)

2) special rules to simulate weapons and shields, e.g. Block, Long Reach, Flail, etc

3) A detailed spell system with 30+ spells

4) A new 'Staggering" condition

5) Two levels of poison effect.

6) Terrain and weather rules

7) New scenarios

8 ) The troop profile section is small and generic as most of the book is dedicated to game mechanics and trait descriptions.

9) Color illustrations throughout the 90 page book.


Supplements, like HAMMER and FORGE, will add specific subsets of rules. For example Hammer and Forge will add Runecasting, some weapons, cannons, and a few more wall spells. Leaf and Arrow (Elves) will add different types of bows and special Arrows. And so on...

Each supplement is a full color book (which takes a lot of time to illustrate and pageset ) so they will retail for around $10 but be around $8-$9 in the Kickstarter and in some pledge tiers it is bundled with figures.

Standard SOBH will continue to be printed and supported. It is not outdated: it is just a bit less detailed, and it's still the ideal game for those who do not want to bother with all of the new stuff and enjoy their games lighter.

You can still continue to create your own profiles and use your miniatures. The point system is the same, but more options are added.

Each ASOBH supplement will add hundreds of profiles. Special rules are called Traits in ASOBH.

ASOBH supplements will be self-contained: with that book and ASOBH you can play without needing any other book. You have profiles, factions, all special rules needed for the profiles, a background and simple advancement rules.

In the case of Fightin Fungi, the ASOBH core rules are in the Fightin' Fungi book so you do not need to buy ASOBH. It was our first book in the line, and the unusual setting was designed to attract new players. Fightin' Fungi is 100% compatible with ASOBH and we expect players to use it in conjunction with HAMMER and FORGE.

All ASOBH books ideally come with their own range of miniatures and a map of a small area of the world, also used for Tales of Blades and Heroes RPG .

The background is designed to let you play any figures you already have with minimum hassle. It is a highly magical, high fantasy world where competing gods created competing races.

Background is deliberately left vague so you can weave your own narrative in the world without "breaking" anything. We will have classic races ( orcs, elves etc) but also unusual ones (fungi folk, mothmen). We will also do large monsters and steampunk/clockwork cultures, fey creatures and so on.

it is a varied setting and there is an in-background reason for this "menagerie of cultures" approach. The world will be revealed one little step at a time.

Use of the game world is optional. You can continue to enjoy quick, pick-up games without investing yourself in the setting, and you can still use any figures you want.

When we have enough maps, we will put them together and release a large continent map.

All will lead to a big war campaign when we have Armies and Hordes(the big battle version of Song of Blades). But this will take years.

Finally, we have two professional fiction writers on board to write novellas set in the game world, Barry Reese and Davide Mana.  Appendices in the novellas will "stat up" any spell, monster or character used in the story. We will use Kickstarter to gauge interest in these products. Novellas will be available in pdf, mobi, epub and paperback.

Hope you find this information useful!
