Re: Markdown Version of SRD

If you meant my version, sorry about the hard breaks. I have a habit of putting two spaces after a period *and* doing manual word wrap. I'll be careful next time. ... if there is a next time. I just want to make sure doing so would be legal. P.S. I recently learned how to power-use Word (sort of), b...

Re: FTL File Formats

Another bump.

I actually posted this very question (more or less) in the pinned FTL thread. Just now. So we'll see.

Re: Feedback Thread - The Year Zero Engine Free Tabletop License

Maybe I'm just being dense (or "gun-shy") here, but I have questions about this language: Free League hereby grants you a worldwide, perpetual, non-exclusive right to copy, use, modify, translate, and distribute the YZE SRD in printed form, as a PDF, or as a virtual tabletop module (“VTT”)...

Using Levels of Difficulty?

After having read drafts of the core book during the Kickstarter, I (belatedly) started reading the final published version and saw the section on Levels of Difficulty (p 41). First off, I didn't remember seeing this in the prior drafts, though I didn't save them so I can't go back and check. Anyone...

Re: Nations in the Mythic North

Re: languages in RPGs: maybe you could make an argument for listing which languages a character speaks, perhaps rated by fluency. Since a tabletop role-playing game is basically conversation punctuated by die rolls, it's kind of counterproductive to make part of that conversation contingent on a goo...

Re: Nations in the Mythic North

As I was looking into the history of 19th century Scandinavia, I also followed some historical threads that made the other regions interesting places to visit, e.g. the Northern Crusades against pagans in the Baltic States, and how those crusaders, notably the Teutonic Knights, founded the state of ...

Nations in the Mythic North

The (draft) Mythic North map includes territories that in our 19th century belonged to an independent Denmark (halfway through the century), a semi-independent Norway (which consciously uncoupled from Sweden shortly after century's end), and the Russian Empire (Finland and the present-day Balkan sta...

Re: Why Vaesen exist, a bit simple?

In our world, Vaesen are a reflection of human beliefs, because they don't exist. In the original folklore Christian symbols repelled or destroyed them because Christianized people thought that their new god had power over the (possibly demonic) spirits of the old religion. Same with vampires and ot...

Year Zero Engine OGL in HTML

As part of a project to use the OGL Year Zero rules, I created a "clean" HTML copy of the rules, with some minor fixes and edits. The results are here: Year Zero Engine OGL I also put a "making of"  post (of sorts) on my blog at the same site. It details the small changes I made ...

Re: VAESEN in videos or podcasts

It confirms my suspicions that the Linnea hook isn’t such a good hook to begin with. (I'm not that keen to wade through four hours of video, so I'll take your word for it.) If/when I run Vaesen , I'll probably make the butler Algot Frisk the hook, as part of a "session zero". He approache...
