First game at an open table of #wolvesUponTheCoast. Overall I quite enjoy it.
It's definitely interesting going to it from Cairn, vs probably the other games people usually go to it from - it feels mechanically rather complicated, which is probably not the usual reaction.

The words, diegetic advancement, got stuck in my head.
Inspired by Into the Odd, Apocalypse World and Swords Without Master and Wolves Upon the Coast

The Brimuxi's crew goes raiding on behalf of the people of Sicara. While the regular squabbling betwixt crew members still occurred, the job itself went off flawlessly!
This will be my last recap for awhile. The party was kind enough to turn this into a pickup game, so there may be some intermittent updates when we're able to get together. Thanks to everyone who's been reading and following along, it's been a lot of fun!

First session report from my #Starforged #WolvesUponTheCoast #soloRPG campaign. I actually played this last weekend. Shipwrecked on the small island of Rhus, Estrid leads her warband against some marauding merfolk.

Estrid sails with a band of Norse raiders. Their leader, Jaran, is a cruel man and much hated by the company. One night, a huge storm batters the ship and from the crashing waves a band of merfolk attack the desperate crew. In the chaos, the ship is dashed against the rocky coast of the island of Rh
I wrote about starting Luke Gearing's acclaimed hexcrawl campaign #WolvesUponTheCoast, using @shawntomkin's #starforged. Not an obvious choice...

New(ish) #ttrpg blog, by the way. I'd like to blog more. I worry about it all - layout, writing skill, name, etc, so much that I frequently stall out.
It seems as though I'm incapable of running a system without tinkering with it, or even running a campaign setting in the game it was designed for. To whit, my latest project, running the dark ages hexcrawl of Luke Gearing's Wolves Upon the Coast with Shawn Tomkin's fiction-first sci-fi pointcrawl,
