Hi all - I thought I'd share an abandoned campaign setting idea I had a while ago while I was playing a lot of Doom followed by a Mad Max and The Expanse session. Yeah, strange mix. This gave me a few ideas on each of the settings, and I came up with The Shift, a post-apocalyptic starfaring horror a...

Nothing major -

Shortsword - 2
Longsword - 3
Greatsword - 4

I'm designing a roleplaying game of my own and I'm thinking of using an idea I've had for that game for Fighting Fantasy. Instead of a weapon chart that generates a random number from a D6, I was thinking of a die cap, a number that determines the highest number a D6 can roll. So, a die cap of 4 on ...

Though if I ran a similar campaign, it'd be less Star Trek and more The Orville...

Now that's spot on!

Hmmm.....

I've been flicking through Starship Traveller, which was my original inspiration for Stellar Adventures, and I was thinking about expanding on the AstroNavy - who they are, what they do, their sphere of influence and what else resides in the galaxy. Alongside this I was thinking of having the Black ...

Come back more often! :) Well then I won't have all this good stuff saved up for me! But yeah, keeping places like this lively is very important. If people considering picking up AFF visit this forum, I hope they'd get the (correct) impression that there is a lively and active community. [And with ...

Careers was one of my favourite things about WFRP 1st Edition (it's my favourite FRP of all time) so having both these occupations options for AFF is just gold for me. I use Fighting Fantasy to introduce players to the roleplaying hobby, so now I can use it to get them into Warhammer, too!

That's really good, quick and easy.

Actually I think that Chalice is a bit the starting place for al adventures in Allansia, so you started from the right place :) I think it would be interesting adventuring in Salmons as well... I've done a lot of adventuring in Allansia and the adventures I'm writing reflect that. I love it there, ...

If anyone has any stories or adventure hooks to share then I'd love to hear them. Possibly doesn't quite fit your request, but I thought that AFF Directors might be able to make some use of the AS&SH Adventure Generator: http://www.hyperborea.tv/uploads/4/4/6/6/44662451/asshrandom-adv-gen.pdf I've ...

I can replace 6 with this:

6 - Run away in a random direction to escape the terror, and you will fight anyone who attempts to stop you including party members.

Hi all - there's something I'm working on that might benefit from a FEAR stat, much like the stat from House of Hell but without the instadeath! It's for horror games and the initial idea i had works like this: A - To generate your FEAR score, add SKILL and LUCK together, halve and drop fractions. B...

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for types of adventures or locations then let me know - I have a few ideas queued up to explore and write but I'd love to hear what people want so that I can create suitable adventures.

Nuvole! wrote:Sounds great!
Hopefully this will be the first of a long list of new Allansian adventures!

That's my plan - there's already a second adventure waiting to go and I'm working on a third, much larger one. Hopefully I'll get a few done this year.

has anyone got any AFF campaign stories to share? I ran a game for my gaming club using AFF and the challenge was that they had to give me the story premise. They decided to make it difficult for me and said 'A body has been found stabbed, and the only suspect is a goldfish named Kevin'. Challenge a...
