TROS in the Hammer

Back to TROS

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

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

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.

Magic

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.

Characters

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.
