House Rules/System Hacks

I'm reading up to start a Symbaroum campaign trying to familiarize myself with the system. As with any system there are things I like, and others that give me pause. I've read a number of complaints in various places online that the system lends itself to min-maxing and over-powered characters, that...

Hi Barbarianbob,

Not sure where it is in the books, but you can find a "Degrees of Difficulty" table on the Symbaroum Game Master's Screen.

Childspaly +5
Routine +3

Normal 0
Trying -1
Hard -3
Difficult -5
Absurd -8

Calculating Crew Income?

Getting ready to kick off my first Coriolis campaign. Curious how other GMs addressed player/crew income management. There's not a lot to go on in the books that I have seen. I've also seen other posts in various places with people asking similar questions so don't think I am alone in needing guidan...

Re: Damages on ghosts

Well since we are only after a coherent narrative explanation that helps players suspend disbelief in the context of the story, a plausible rationale might be that fire is elemental and as such transcends the physical worlds in some metaphysical sense.  Many systems of arcane power are tied to the e...

Re: Damages on ghosts

I'd be inclined to think a torch would be a pretty weak club, especially given the fact that fire would likely deteriorate its structural integrity.  But I've never been hit by one, so can't say for certain. ;)

Re: Q: What is Sturkas doing in The Hollows?

I'm getting ready to run this adventure, and had a similar question.  The background to the Hollows says the location was settled by "a number of Ailander free-thinkers".  In my reading of the canon material it seems to me a Rust Brother would not ordinarily be received in a community near...

Re: Anyone started a character sheet for roll20?

Some feedback from my group on our initial use of the die-roller(s) - for what it is worth.  The consensus seems to be that they prefer the presentation of the dice on the default roller but the functionality of the Pro/API roller (particularly the Push feature).  They like the way the dice are clea...

Digitized Initiative and Combat Cards?

Has anyone made digital images of the initiative and combat cards for Forbidden Lands, for replicating the deck in VTTs like Roll20?  If so, where may they be found?

This was done by someone, apparently with permission, for the Coriolis Icon Deck.  Hoping that is the case here.

Re: Anyone started a character sheet for roll20?

@sefnerr,
Prepping Roll20 for my upcoming campaign and started playing with this.  Well done, sir!  This is fantastic!  From both myself and my gaming group, thank you very much for doing this!
