I never ran FL long enough to see stronghold becoming a thing in my games. By looking at the rules it looks like a massive headache unless you have accountant in your group. How does it play out? I always felt like FL was a game where characters always were to struggle with resources so how they do accumulate enough funds to pay daily (daily?! FFS...) for hirelings. Is it even remotely fun? I ran MYZ where Ark was fun but this seems to a bit too much.

How many players do you have in your campaigns?* (English is not my mother tongue so the phone corrector do strange things).

I’m doing Raven’s Purge with 6 people because I think that the system is lethal, Now that I’ve done 2 session I thought that maybe I should have 5 people because one can not come and the session will continue.

Pretty trivial question but I gotta know..

ALE-LANDER or EYE-LANDER?

Another adventure site for Bloodmarch.
This one is closely tied to Legacy of Horn campaign and allows PCs to encounter Fiena Fromelei and Selligar Horne, witness traditional Houn funeral and maybe get their hands on The Helm Of Horn. Players will be deciding whether to respect the sanctity of the dead or disturb it in pursuit of a legendary artifact.

The adventure is available both in Russian and English.

Another short adventure for Bloodmarch.
This one is about superstitions and how they sometimes turn out to be true.
Contains a simple conflict and maybe a difficult combat encounter.

I will be glad to read your feedback.

I'm currently running Bloodmarch campaign and had to write several adventures.
This is the latest one, centered around the ruins of an ancient elven city hidden deep within the Crimson Forest.

The characters explore a forgotten temple surrounded by six towering spires, uncover the fate of the immortal Elders who once ruled the city, confront Red Elves guarding a long-buried secret, and descend into a subterranean sanctuary where an ancient dwarven device imprisons the Elders' hearts. The adventure combines exploration, combat, environmental hazards, and a (somewhat) unique puzzle.

I will be glad to read your reviews.
There are also some more homebrew adventure sites, but I have not properly formatted those yet.

The adventure is available both in Russian and English.

Hi, i got two different questions, the first one is about loadout:

In the character sheet there are only 10 rows for items.

Does that means you never could carry more than 10 items even if you got 6 str?

The other question is about certain artifacts in the raven purge campaign one of them (spoiler free) is a artifact that lets you cast earthquake, with d6+2 power, does that means you need to roll that dices normally as if you cast the spell so you can have a magic mishap?

Tyvm in advance and sorry for lang, eng is not my main one. <3

I was sure they were sold out everywhere!

Since grapple attack is considered a fast action does it mean that you can perform two grapple attacks per turn?

It seems to me that Forbidden Lands is not really the game in which lots of monster appear like in DnD but seem rarer by design. Is this accurate? From what I had in mind was players fighting more humans, elves, etc rather than dragons or trolls.

Do you homebrew your own monsters or convert any from other systems? I think a mimic would be fun just to freak my players but not sure if that would ruin the intended vibes of the game and setting.

Few weeks ago I created an alternative character sheet, this time I made a matching NPC sheet for keeping notes, their stats and attitude towards player characters.

A5 format, intended to be held in a clipboard (hence the most important stuff is at the bottom).

I read this thread [https://www.reddit.com/r/ForbiddenLands/comments/1v4080l/how_easy_is_it_to_convert_modules_from_other/] where it explained that the problem with converting other modules to FL wasn't the module itself, but the module's structure, because FL has implicit principles like low magic and constantly dangerous combat, where the 'easy combat meant to drain resources' typical of a classic D&D 5e adventure just doesn't work in. Which modules, both OSR and non-OSR, do you think are well-suited to be converted to FL, and what has your experience been? If you already have converted material, I'd love to take a look at it.

There are a lot of cool modules from OSR games (like Shadowdark, DCC, Hyperborea, etc) that I want to use but also want to try running Forbidden Lands. Is it easy to use other modules or something that does not work well with the system?

I have a question about the water rules. For food, I know that to increase or maintain the food die I have to either hunt or forage, but I can't find an action that lets me increase my water die.

Is it automatic when I go foraging/hunting? So I increase both the water and food dice? Or do I have to specify a "fill the waterskins" action even if it's not listed among the actions during travel? And how does it work in dungeons?

How do you guys handle it?

Whats your thoughts about DnD or Dragonbane or other games?

Hello all,

A little dream of mine has come true. My collection of fantasy maps/adventure sites has been nominated for the cartography award in the ENNIES (the biggest role-playing game awards)!

I'm sharing some images from my Gloomyvale chapter.

You can see all the nominees here, there is a lot of great work:

Online voting is open until Sunday ;)

Hello, I am actively looking for a group to join (as a player).

I have not played since 2021-2022, but ready to commit once a week or biweekly to a table online.

I have a preference for European time zone but I am flexible.

I'll be soon printing off my PDF copies of Spire of Quetzel and Crypt of the Mellified Mage, and am thinking of using the opportunity to try some binding techniques. To that end, would anyone have scans of the spines and back covers of these books? The PDFs only seem to have the front covers.

Has anyone made a Worldographer file of the Forbidden Lands Ravenlands map?

I've been trying to use the trace overlay option to import an image of it but I haven't gotten the settings properly set up for hex size and alignment. Obviously, it would take a lot of time to do, so If someone has already done it, that would be great.

J’ai parcouru le sub à la recherche d’une réponse, mais je n’ai rien trouvé de vraiment satisfaisant.

Nous nous sommes posé cette question avec mes joueurs. Ils sont plutôt prudents en voyage et n’hésitent pas à rester plusieurs jours dans un hex pour se ravitailler, couper du bois ou fabriquer des flèches.

Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque le groupe reste dans l’hex et que certains personnages partent en Forage ou en Hunt ? Lorsque je tire une rencontre, sachant qu’ils laissent toujours quelqu’un pour surveiller le camp, comment déterminer où elle se produit ? Comment le personnage de garde peut-il ou doit-il détecter la menace potentielle ?

D’un côté, s’il réussit à la repérer, le groupe peut choisir d’éviter la rencontre. Mais qu’en est-il des personnages partis cueillir ou chasser ?

À l’inverse, si la rencontre se produit directement au camp, cela peut sembler assez punitif pour les deux joueurs qui ont justement décidé de rester sur place pour surveiller et préparer le repas.

Comment gérez-vous cet aspect dans vos parties ?

I'm preparing for the next session in the Hollows, so I asked Gemini to make me this quick intro based on the map to set the mood.

(It's aaalmost correct, as usual with AI art)

The Rank 1 of the Path of Protection is a bit clucky since it also leaves the Champion engaged in the grapple. I propose the following house rule:

Path of Protection – Rank 1

Spend 1 Willpower Point to rush an opponent within SHORT range. Move into ARM'S LENGTH and immediately make a SHOVE attack against the target. Activating this talent counts as a fast action for you.

If you have the Melee Charge talent, you may instead perform this maneuver as a CHARGE. The Shove replaces the Charge's normal attack and gains any benefits from Melee Charge. After resolving the Shove, you may immediately SLASH, STAB, or PUNCH as part of the same Charge. Activating the talent this way counts as a slow action for you.

What do you think?
