Announcements / The Tomb of Aosath Bak -- an FX Quickstart Released!
« on: March 24, 2024, 11:13:52 AM »
A few days after arriving in Na-Kutha, having guarded a merchant on his trip here from Na-Kish, you are approached by Gryglyn, a friend of the merchant you worked for. He wished to hire your team in order to find and explore the tomb of a noble woman from the very early days of Anwyn, one of his ancestors. The tomb has been lost since shortly after her death, but he thinks that he has finally found the location.
The Tomb of Aosath Bak is a classic dungeon delve type of adventure! You are off to find the long lost tomb of an ancestor of your employer and retrieve some items for him.
Are you brave enough to delve into the unknown?
The Tomb of Aosath Bak is the second in the Quickstart Adventure series. This means that it comes with everything you need to run the adventure, including pre-generated characters that players may use for the adventure. It also has maps that can be used with various VTTs as well.
The Tomb of Aosath Bak is also a sequel to our first Quickstart Adventure, In Search of Jafry, and the two can be played in succession.

Announcements / Effusive Praise!
« on: February 25, 2024, 09:41:01 AM »
Over on rpg.net there was a recent thread asking about high fantasy games that could also be gritty as well. Of course, I offered Fantasy Express as a possibility. The response I got was both very unexpected and gratifying at the same time!
Quote from: Elvish Lore
Rasyr Ok, bought and read quite a bit of FX. I think it's great. I love it. Your game does so many things right. And I can tell you've been around the block design-wise given how polished a lot of the mechanisms are. And what you've borrowed from Against the Darkmaster and iterated upon is superlative.
Love expanding vocations and then choosing two to form something unique.
You've streamlined combat, transitioning from all the phases of the tactical round sequence to an action economy that feels propulsive and dynamic. And a critical option sheet is freaking awesome - I love being able to spend success levels (and for skills and magic too! That's great!) to be badass.
I love skills and rpgs and think many modern games underplay them - I'm super glad you increased from vsD's list - gives more diversity of expertise, IMO.
Great job with magic, scaling spells is clean and spelled out.
Oh and Milestones and Revelations in character advancement -- what freaking terrific idea to bequeath cool traits to the character instead of just more XP!
Anyway, I'll stop gushing. Can't wait to get this to my table and try it out. I'm hoping it plays as good as it reads.
Great job.

General Discussion / RIP Wizard's Lair
« on: February 21, 2024, 10:39:45 AM »
Over the weekend, BOTH of my sites went down, this one and my personal site, Wizard's Lair.
I royally screwed it up trying to fix it, (this was before I figured out WHAT I could do to fix it, which I then did to fix this site).
So, I will have to rebuild it from scratch.
Since I am trying to teach myself Bootstrap for work, I figure I will see what I can do along those lines.
Here is what it current ly looks like.

Fantasy Express / Combat Example
« on: February 19, 2024, 07:39:47 AM »
I am working on writing up a combat example to release as a freebie once it is complete.
I have 5 PreGenerated characters coming across 4 Kobolds.
Some quick thoughts and comments so far.
Round 1 -- both groups were surprised, so all they could do is move in to melee range. The spell caster of the group did NOT advance to melee range.
Round 2 -- PCs fought smartly, most of them putting points into Parrying. One performed a Riposte (since he was the only one whose Init would have normally allowed him to act first. The round ended with some damage to 3 of the 4 Kobolds. One of the 3 received Critical Damage (and 2 of them ended up disarmed).
Round 3 -- a third Kobold has been disarmed, and one has been knocked down to a single hit (plus bleeding which makes him pass out in Phase 1 of Round 4). another has been reduced to less than half their hits, so is now Bruised (-4) to action (this happened before HIS attack takes place), so he cancels his action, turns and runs away.
Round 4 -- the remaining Kobodls also run away. And the PCs let them go, since none of thier folks were hurt.
I should have the PDF ready in a couple of days.
