NOTE: We are now experimenting with using Heroquest instead of TROS with this game. See The Story of the People for info.

SUGGESTIONS ON USING THE WIKI:

  • make sure you have an RPG.net account and are logged in.
  • make sure that your "watchlist" includes all of the key pages. That way whenever a change is made (either to the page or discussion) the "My Watchlist" link over on the left will tell you about the change.
  • use colons to indent your discussion when you reply (i.e. ":" indents one stop, "::" indents two steps) so that we can tell which bits are replies.
  • use horizontal rules "----" to make a line whenever you are starting a new section on the discussion page.
  • mark minor changes as "minor edits", and put a summary in for major edits.
  • Sign your contributions to the discussion with four tildes (~)

Let me know if this all seems like a pain in the butt. I think it is cool, but YMMV. Skalchemist 12:40, 23 August 2006 (PDT)

TROS in the Hammer[edit]

This is a space set aside for the campaign of the Riddle of Steel taking place in Hamilton, Ontario. Seneschal = Hans. Players = Justin, Pete, Ryan, Vic.

NOTE: Stuff in PURPLE is stuff that is still in doubt, requires input, etc.

NOTE: Instead of sending a lot of emails back and forth, I propose that we discuss this stuff through the discussion pages here.

Setting[edit]

The setting of this game is a post-apocalyptic milieu that the people who live in it call the World. An apocalypse of some variety, known only in legend now, brought the World to essentially a stone age level of technology. Some cultures of the World have now achieved a late medieval/early rennaissance level, after thousands of years.

Map of the World[edit]

Political Entities in the World[edit]

A full description of The People[edit]

Religons in the World[edit]

Relationship Maps for People and Tribes[edit]

Magic[edit]

There is magic in the world, incredibly powerful but compared to some fantasy milieus somewhat limited. All magic essentially arises from the contacting and commanding/befriending/imprisoning of spirits.

Spirits and Spirit Magic[edit]

Characters[edit]

NOTE: Each character can have an additional number of skills at their best packet rating, known languages, or -1 to other skills, based on their Mental Aptitude. For this game, I am also requiring that a person use one of these points to be literate, if you choose to be.

(DECEASED): Thunder's Rumble[edit]

Justin's Character: Kronkite[edit]

Vic's character: Night Hawk[edit]

Pete's character: Peregrine[edit]
