THE RULES - I default to Labyrinth Lord, which is free, ... so, get that. It's awesome. Also, I mix in some Mutant Future which is also free from the same publisher... so get that too.
Character Creation Document - and I should really mention Jeff Rients at this point, because we all owe a debt to Jeff... mostly me. He's given us tons of gameable material over the years at Jeff's Gameblog which I draw from endlessly. This character creation document is based on one of Jeff's. He also runs a hell of a great game, so roll some dice at his table if you ever get the chance. Thanks Jeff, we owe you fun.
Character Classes
Fighter - yeah, as is... keep fighters fighty
Specialist - basically Thief, but I'm trying out LotFP skills sorta, so...
Magi - basically Magic-User, but religious... 10% gold tithe for reduced xp chart, I should post that
Prophet - not current, I should rewrite this, but close-ish... non-tithe xp, this needs work

My House Rules Document
Arduin Critical Hits - I use this chart for every natural 20 (splintering a shield will prevent the crit)
Fumble Chart - I use this d6 chart if you roll a natural 1 to-hit
Awfully Unforgettable Fumbles - I use this chart if you roll a 1 on the d6 fumble chart
Setting
Ancient Sumer 3000 BCE. The region is known locally as "Ki-en-gir", which might translate roughly into "The Land of the Enlightened Lords".
20 Quick Questions

Even more ancient campaign idea
Overland Travel - I should fix this
Domain Rules - mostly An Echo Resounding, but altered a bit to fit my version of ancient Sumer

"Ki-en-gir"? "The Land of Angry Lords"?
ReplyDeleteI've seen Ki-en-gir translated as "Land of the civilized lords" and "Land of the Sumerian language". I've never seen "gir" translated as "angry" though. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
