Huzzah!
02/05/2018 at 03:16 #89778OldBen1ParticipantAwesome, you could include that in the “official” rule book.
02/05/2018 at 05:51 #89781StroezieParticipantThat looks cracking!
Cheers,
Stroezie.
02/05/2018 at 16:39 #89808Darkest Star GamesParticipantI think the example is very good, though may need direction arrows or some-such for some people to figure out which box should be read next.
Pack as many examples as you can into your rules, it’ll be very good thing in the long run!

4 all told, but I was just using the core rules.
Had I been using some of the rules from the new expansion she would have taken 3…06/08/2018 at 19:13 #96366greg954ParticipantYessss, good to see she gave those thieves a bit of what for!
Bloody bandits, always skulking around riffing through people’s stuff.
06/08/2018 at 20:07 #96379Darkest Star GamesParticipant4 hits?!?! That’s quite a bit, out of the 6 she started with. I’d call that serious!
"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."
07/08/2018 at 15:22 #96431Angel BarracksModeratorCertainly is/was.
I have added the comics to my website, are the images big enough do you all reckon?
07/08/2018 at 15:28 #96438cmnashParticipantare the images big enough do you all reckon?
They are for me, but it wouldn’t hurt for them to be a bit bigger IMO – say 20-25% bigger
.
07/08/2018 at 15:28 #96439Darkest Star GamesParticipantYa, looks good on the CA site.

Are you getting into making comics as well?
Also I like the new walls, I’m gonna steal the idea.
19/11/2018 at 13:46 #104068Angel BarracksModerator19/11/2018 at 15:02 #104077Darkest Star GamesParticipantReally well done Mike! Especially the bit with Erland standing over the chief, really like how you did that.
Ok, you need to play more games and make more reports, love it!

Cheers dude, I was trying to find ways of making a single figure in a static pose seem more varied and animated..
I have the next 2 games planned, just need to play them and then comicify them.
😀
19/11/2018 at 19:53 #104097Gone FishingParticipantDeeply inspiring as always. Looking forward to the next installments!
20/11/2018 at 00:18 #104121telzy amberParticipantExcellent work
28/11/2018 at 20:14 #104705Angel BarracksModeratorThanks for the kind words travellers!
Book Keeping Time.
So experience in Burning Sands works around the vanquishing of foes.
“After a game add up the total starting Vitality of the Villains defeated. Once this total is equal to the sum of the heroes own three stats you can exchange these for an experience point.
So Erland who has P3, W2, V6 has a stat total of 11. Characters can buy an ability for 4 experience points.”So in “Dinner For Wolf” Erland defeats 6 wolves with V2 which gets him 12 points.
In “Ambushed in the Oasis” Eydis defeats a bandit chief of V3, and 4 bandits of V2, making her total 11 points.
In “A Chance Encounter” Erland defeats 3 bandits of V2 and the bandit Chief of V3, so he gets 9 points, Eydis defeats 6 bandits of V2 each and gets 12 points.So the totals so far are:
Erland 21 points.
Eydis 23 points.Their stat totals are 11, (P3, W2, V6) so for every 11 points they can get an XP.
So Erland has 1 XP and 10 points in his pool.
Eydis has 2 XP and 1 point in her pool.Once they accrue 4 XP they can buy an ability, or for 6 XP they can increase Prowess or Wits.
An average game should see you get about 1 XP.

I wonder what sort of shenanigans our dynamic duo can get up to now…?

27/02/2019 at 17:12 #110019Angel BarracksModerator27/02/2019 at 17:34 #110020RhodericMemberWell done AB, and well done Erland. If it doesn’t get said often enough, this is some very innovative showcasing of products and the genre that goes with them.
27/02/2019 at 17:42 #110021Darkest Star GamesParticipantYa, what he said! Very well done. Loved the flying pottery as well. Some poor fool is going to feel some pain once our hero gets ahold of him!
"I saw this in a cartoon once, but I'm pretty sure I can do it..."
27/02/2019 at 18:51 #110022Gone FishingParticipantMust chime in to agree with the previous two posters. Very well done in every way! You’ve really mastered the comic book style, it must be said, and while the jar-tossing sequence is right up there, my favourite photo is when our hero is first seen standing in the gate – “Ayee, he is strong, this one!”
28/02/2019 at 11:36 #110059Angel BarracksModerator28/02/2019 at 16:46 #110080OldBen1ParticipantI love Erland’s new look. Great read as well.
28/02/2019 at 20:01 #110086greg954ParticipantAnother cracking instalment, very well done. Tell me…….now that Erland has finished sunning himself in the desert. Where’s Eydis all this time?
28/02/2019 at 22:57 #110095Ralph PlowmanParticipant“Or is Simurgh simply living up to its name afterall?”
What does Simurgh mean?
01/03/2019 at 00:08 #110097Angel BarracksModerator“Or is Simurgh simply living up to its name afterall?”
What does Simurgh mean?
Simurgh, like all the names have been chosen especially.
There is no coincidence, maybe there should be a prize to the person that can identify all the names and their meanings?😀
01/03/2019 at 13:41 #110153Ralph PlowmanParticipantUtuseb appears to be a real place in Namibia.
Apart from a restaurant in London, Simurgh appears to be a mythical Iranian bird.
I’m missing something…
01/03/2019 at 13:54 #110155Angel BarracksModeratorSimurgh appears to be a mythical Iranian bird.
Often associated with the Phoenix, which we all know will rise from the ashes reborn, and ascend to glory!
Praise be to Apis!Erland, Eydis, Ekwensu, Apis, Ali Durust, The Tribal queen Oya, Crom Ogun, Kibuka, all names with meaning.
Kalan Al Kishtar however is an old RPG character! 😀01/03/2019 at 16:02 #110160Geof DowntonParticipantA doctor I once worked with used to talk about Ekwensu, usually disparagingly, so I suspect he’s a Nigerian god or spirit of Bad Things. Apis is the Egyptian sacred bull. Other than that I’d have to cheat and use Google!
One who puts on his armour should not boast like one who takes it off.
Ahab, King of Israel; 1 Kings 20:1101/03/2019 at 17:21 #110163Darkest Star GamesParticipantIIRC isn’t Simurgh an Iranian/Persian mytho similar to the Pheonix, but seen as healing bird? I remember reading something about it being a symbol used in Byzantine times as well.

04/03/2019 at 17:38 #110287Deleted UserMemberI’m also wondering where Eydis is. I like these comics, very slick.
