Quick update

Just a quick small update to not fail to post on only my second day.

RpgaDay #9 What is a good game to play for 10 sessions?  I think any game can be a good game for a set number of sessions as long as you have a plan for them. Dungeon world and Dungeons and Delvers black book all have 10 level caps that mean you could level up each session for fun. Also the old Eden studios Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a serialized story plan built into its rules.  Plus it doesnt use levels at all, isntead players by individual upgrades with smaller chunks of exp.  This allows for a more organic growth even in a constrained number of games

Also continuing on the "if its not broken should you fix it" topic I am moving into the area of classes.  Enchanted Kingdoms will have six classes in the core rule book, with other classes planned for future releases.  The six classes are:

Enchantress/Enchanter

Hunter/Huntress

Knight

Messenger

Minstril

Thief

I have chosen to use these classes in part because of how their names affect your approach to the class and the world. Honestly the classes in a game can greatly inform a player about the feel of the world and game system. Over the next few days/posts I will discuss each one of them individually.

Character Lineages and Nintendo games

Characters in the “Dice Pool” rules base are made by choosing a race and class and then choosing specific talents from those.  In Enchanted Kingdoms races have been replaced by “Lineages” in the core rule book. Your “Lineage” is the bloodline that you are able to use the powers from. However, this does not necessarily mean that it is the family that you are currently in. The bloodlines that you choose from are hundreds of years old and a person may manifest different abilities from their current family.  This can make for interesting interactions and motivations.  Also some Heritage talents could also be a curse that has been applied to the character. Either a monstrous beast form, or a small (mostly) harmless animal form, that the character transforms into could have been forced on your character. Or they could be magic inherited through their bloodline, it’s up to you; the player. Currently there are 14 Primary Lineages that you can choose from. There is also the “Anci...

A brief history/description of the Enchanted World

This probably should have been my first post but I am still new to blogging and planning in advance is not really something I have applying to my blog writing.  If you have read any of my past posts, you know that Enchanted Kingdoms is going to be a tabletop rpg. It is intended to be a light hearted rpg that blends concepts from our world’s folklore and fairytales. It will be a manual that includes the rules to play the game, as well as detailed information about the world in which the game is set, or the campaign setting. The Enchanted Kingdoms, also called the Enchanted World, is the “prime” or “mortal” realm. As I have previously mentioned there are the fae and shadow realms; which are reflections of the Enchanted World. The Enchanted World and its Reflections each have a “resonant element” or material they are connected to.  The Enchanted World’s is metal, the Duskfalls’ is crystal, and the Brightwylds’ is wood.  This is important to the history of the world as i...

Eating my words and a bunch of pictures

Super nerdy post this week, most of my time is going to packing and studying.  But some cool stuff happened that I am excited about. There is some Enchanted Kingdoms art at the end if you want to skip to that. A little over a week and Nintendo, and their friends, are making me eat my words. So in light of the recent announcement of the extension of the production of the mini SNES systems I have been proven wrong. Also they have announced Octopath traveler, a Square Enix game that I am trying to keep my excitement for under control.  At this point I am back on board wanting a Switch, and SNES mini.  Dang it Nintendo. Going to have to save up for those. Unfortunately, I dont have time to fight with blogger and get the images to line up the way i want, so i am sorrry for then all lining up in the center.  Last week Hasbro showed off the newest Optimus Prime toy. It can transform into a cartoon accurate Orion Pax:  which can combine with the trailer...
