Re: Questions about Willpower Points

OK, given that every table is different, and if everyone is having fun, no-one is doing it it wrong, here are my responses to your concerns: A. I won’t ever allocate WP to a NPC ally, because they are not a protagonist of the story. They won’t be casting spells, or doing anything, unless a PC instru...

Re: Selling loot

For found treasures, I am happy to pay the characters whatever the book says the item is “worth”, unless there is a really good narrative reason not to.

Re: Questions about Willpower Points

Think of Willpower points as a narrative tool, not an in-universe fuel for magic etc.

Re: Are starting attributes final?

I agree with Rymdhampster. And also, because effectiveness is abstracted into the skill roll (for example, you don’t just make your melee roll to see of you hit, damage is also calculated from your extra successes) some degree of physical development, is arguably also abstracted into the development...

Re: Antidotes

I’m leaning towards adding a general talent called “alchemist” which boosts non magical healing and antidote creation.
Cool idea, but “Apothecary” would be a more appropriate name.

Re: Encumbrance questions

1: Given as its weight is listed, I assume yes 2: Weight not listed in gear lists, therefore no. You could argue that spares are light? 3: not clothes as above.  4: no, assume players start off with simple clothes 5: Not hard, there is the pack rat talent after all - yes armour and weapons count tow...

Re: Orcs as Kin, not fodder

Obviously, I agree with you Lupex as regards your reading of the Orcs, and with everyone else too about how to handle it. I had similar thoughts here:  https://fictionsuit.org/2018/09/21/forbidden-lands-kin/ But you mention as specific issue of adapting scenarios from other games where Orc are more ...

Re: Questions about the settings

I would be wary of trying to play an adult in TftL or the upcoming TftF. The system details domestic or “normal, life at home scenes” contrasted with scenes that involve “problems” but not combat. I would worry that a player playing an adult in a situation would be inclined to do what adult PCs do i...

Crafting rafts, or raft crafting

So there are a couple of places where it says you need a raft to cross rivers, marshland etc
But no raft in the gear lists
So what do you need to make a raft?
I think no talent,
Some (but how much?)wood
Rope
To make a raft that carries two doppelgänger and an animal or four people

Re: Days of the week

That’s not strictly true though is it? Wail and Flow are honoured by villagers who might also worship the protector as Wyrm or Raven. And even though there is argument about which of Raven and Wyrm is the actual god, the other had an important part to play in bringing humans to Ravenland. And we Eur...
