(Note: This is ultra-crunchy. So if you were following along hoping for more world info, you're going to have to wait until the next entry.) Spellcasting All PCs have the Spells class feature. It looks like this: Spells: You can cast spells. Your Spells Known are on Table [x].2: [class name] Spells Known. [ability] governs your spellcasting. Yeah, that’s the whole thing. And here’s the skinny. Divine Spells: You cast divine spells because ...
You Play Your Gender: If you are male, you’re character’s male. If you’re female, you’re character’s female. Things are easier on me that way. Ability Scores: Your ability scores are 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18, arranged how you want. Okay, Jason, so you don’t want an 8. Fair enough. Anyone can instead choose 10, 10, 12, 14, 16, 16.

No one knows what brought this about, but the weather in Fǔshůn has taken a turn for the worse: it rains all the ...
Waclaw The ruler of Waclaw (pronounced VAK-LA) is Duke Pawel Wladyslaw, a dipsomaniacal nitwit who is the plaything of his Council of Significant Persons, corrupt businessmen and landowners whose goals are to squeeze every copper from every pauper, live magnificently on the backs of as many peasants as they can gather, and conquer foreign lands where they can continue doing the previous two things. More than anywhere else, the nation of Waclaw is nearly dead. The land is ...
