Dear all,

It’s with a sad heart I have to tell you that I will no longer be running this game. I’ve run it for more than 40 turns in almost three years, but I can no longer muster the energy to continue.

It’s been really fun. I’m very grateful I’ve had so many great players creating fantastic storylines and events. I really wish it wasn’t so hard to moderate, because I’d really like to see where it would take us.

I will probably return to Glorantha soon, but as a ttrpg campaign, and without the stuff I’ve added in Boldhome Heroes to make it work with the En Garde! rules.

Thank you very much for playing with me.

Example Character Creation

Post by Puckohue »

Ok, I decide I want to play a male character named Sarotar.

Following the process in the Rules and walk-through post, step 1 is "Roll 3D6 for Strength, Expertise, and Constitution".

I test the Dice Roller first, so I know how to use it.

Then I roll:

H3d6
p3d6
3d6

My Endurance is STR x CON = 110, which means my Endurance Class (what other players will see) is 3.

Then I roll 1D6 for Battle, Power, and Trade:

L1d6
p1d6
d1d6

Wohoo, I forsee a glorious career in the military.

Let's move on to family background.

I decide that my significant parent is my father, and decide his name is Gaath.

I then roll for Father's Class, my Sibling Rank, if I'm an orphan, and finally Standard of Living:

FHL1d6
L1d6
pH1d6
ddFL1d6

My father's class was Cottar.

I am his second child.

He's dead :(

He was a poor cottar.

Reading the table, that gives me 25 Lunars to start with, and my inheritance of 100 Lunars = 125 Lunars. There will be no more allowance money coming from my family.

The Initial Charisma table tells me Sarotar Gaathson's initial charisma is 3.

Even though it's not mandatory, I decide Sarotar's gender is male.
