One shot idea for playtest:

I bounced around some ideas for a one shot of Freebooters 2 with my DW players. In the DW campaign, they’re approaching the long lost volcano stronghold of the dwarves. The player proposed that they played characters that were fated to die, and then the regular characters would find their skeletons.

Freebooters seems like a good fit: low hit points and less powers out of the gate. Plus, I’ve never actually managed to kill a PC in 15 years of DMing. This might be my first chance! 🧐

Uploaded a new Basic Rules, tweaking the Level Up move to be less broken.

The big new thing is the Plumb the Depths chapter (separate pdf), which outlines dungeon creation and my initial stab at a random-table-prompt approach.

As usual, feedback is appreciated. I’d love to have someone who’s not me take a stab at dungeon creation using these guidelines and then let me know how it goes.

Jason Lutes, looking at my copy of “The Perilous Wilds” I’m not certain about the license, so I will ask. Would it be allowed for me to create a Discover and/or Danger generator on Abulafia, Hex Describe, or similar engine? With proper attribution of course. I have created such a thing for personal use, but don’t want to share publicly unless I am sure that is allowed.

I’ve been tweaking “Lead the Retreat” for some time. With help from Jeremy Strandberg and Daniel Fowler I think I’ve got something that really works for our game of “Advanced FotF” aka “d12 World”. I present, “Run Away!”

Any recommendations for running Freebooters in an already existing setting?

Any recommendations for running Freebooters in an already existing setting? I’ve been thinking about running something in either Dolmenwood or Hubris (very different, I know) and wonder if exploration of those worlds would be a good fit for the system.

Inspired by discussion of Freebooters v2; I have decided to run a session at Pinecon in October.

Planning to have players create characters at the table.

Not sure if we should do world building; or jump into a story.

Thoughts?
