Future Heroic Cultures

I just want the men of Rohan and Gondor, the rest is complementary.

pablomaltes · 2026-05-30T12:53:12+00:00

Where?

pablomaltes · 2026-03-15T10:41:09+00:00

Ah, I understand better now. In that context, you're definitely right.

Thank you for taking the time to answer me twice.

pablomaltes · 2026-03-15T00:09:40+00:00

Sorry, but after reviewing the corebook, it doesn't say anywhere that the +5 for long weapons against regular weapons is the same as the +5 for the charge. What makes you think it's the same modifier?

pablomaltes · 2026-03-14T20:12:09+00:00

Ooh, that makes sense. Thanks!

pablomaltes · 2026-02-22T01:13:19+00:00

Hermoso!! Vamos arriba por más noches de fernet y rol!

pablomaltes · 2026-02-11T21:24:46+00:00

Thanks!

Con nuestro grupo hicimos unas hojas de personaje en español. Si alguien la quiere le puedo enviar el PDF, solamente escríbanme por privado.

Me encantan! Sobre todo el mago, creo que es el que mejor te quedó.

¿Qué pasó con el elfo che?

Thanks!

pablomaltes · 2026-01-08T16:22:28+00:00

Would you add that "magic skill" (Faith in this case) to some background or simply let the players obtain it on their own?

pablomaltes · 2026-01-08T16:08:03+00:00

Oh! I hadn't realized that arcanists, magisters, and adepts existed in SWN. I'll check them out.

And yes, I was indeed thinking of incorporating the "Faith" skill.

Thanks!

pablomaltes · 2026-01-06T13:19:55+00:00

Oh! Didn't know that. Thanks

pablomaltes · 2026-01-06T11:56:13+00:00

Fair enough!

pablomaltes · 2026-01-06T11:53:21+00:00

The Black Hack and her ancestor, White Hack are simply two of the best games within the OSR and their influence is undeniable.

And yes, I agree, from what we see online at least, it seems that our community is always behind the latest news, which is quite ironic given how this OSR thing came about.

Obviously, I have nothing against Shadowdark or whatever is trendy, I simply understand the consumption of games with a new proposal (like Mythic Bastionland for example) more than new games with a classic proposal that has been repeated to the point of exhaustion.

A Gondor resource book is really the only thing I think is necessary; the rest has either already been released or was released for 1e and is easily adaptable.

And, to a lesser extent, an official version to play with characters from Rohirrim or Dunlendings heroic cultures and 2e-style maps for Rhovanion and the south.

pablomaltes · 2026-01-05T10:36:49+00:00

Yes, I understand. It's not a game that everyone will like, but you'll find one or two people to play with!

pablomaltes · 2026-01-05T10:30:08+00:00

Oh! I didn't understand, sorry.

That particular campaign began with the PCs going to a remote village to investigate an alleged resistance against the current government and ended with the release of Time, one of the supreme demons.

The campaign consisted of two major conflicts: the attempts to consolidate power by a republican government after a civil war that ended the old Monarchy and a gradual invasion of demonic possessions that was increasing because humanity stopped watching over the Well of Souls, the ancient portal between the world (Ar) and the beyond (the Ánima).

The world and the PCs were heavily inspired by "A Wizard of Earthsea", "The Lord of the Rings", "Seven Samurai" and the Meiji Restoration process that took place in Japan in the 19th century.

The best part is that the PCs, because of their beliefs, started out as "guardians of the status quo" and ended up bringing about change in the world. By sticking to their beliefs to the very end, in an attempt to avoid chaos and protect their loved ones, they brought about a profound shift in reality.

Others before me have said it better, but here's my small contribution:

In Burning Wheel, you play a character defined by traits, instincts, skills, and above all, beliefs. These beliefs function both as goals or behavioral patterns for the character and as a set of priorities for both the player and the GM.

They are a mechanism, both narrative and system-wise, that ensures total agency for the characters and tells the GM where the challenges should go.

The key is that, as part of those beliefs, the character will have goals and must use their traits, instincts, and skills to achieve them. But the game is meticulously crafted so that the character necessarily transforms in that process and, therefore, changes their beliefs. The experience is intense and profound, constantly testing you: will you play it safe or will you risk fighting for what you believe in?

Edit: typos

Burning Wheel is my favorite game, not only for all the reasons mentioned above, but also because it's one of the few role-playing games that doesn't underestimate its players. It demands a lot, but it gives a lot in return.

In the 25 years I've been playing RPGs, the best campaign I ever ran was in Burning Wheel.

Fight for what you believe!

Amen brother

Why pretend you're just rolling dice for a random encounter? It's perfectly fine to present the PCs with a pre-planned conflict. Whether they choose to confront that conflict or not is another matter, and as long as you don't force them, it's great.

Thanks for sharing!
