Will you be the first to find the lost Dwarven citadel of *Thrumi Zud*?
Why does the herpetologist Otto Aggenbaucher want to study Thunder Lions?
How will *Krutus Schneps*, known as the Jolly Fat man in Red and
White, screw up the summoning of the demon Ashgorat?
Is Oxnard, the Immortal Bone Man sorcerer even on the level?
Why is it lucky to rub the foreheads of Dwarves and *why don't they drink ale*?
Zharillia, that place where if you fall off the edge of the world,
you'll probably starve to death before you hit something. Ancient
beyond belief, with continent sized shards of a broken, shattered
world floating about in the Ether, Zharillia's strangeness only begins
with the surface details. Life is cheap on a 5000 mile wide floating
rock and it's hard to tell what's more dangerous: the people or the
monsters. Only the lucky will survive.
I can be contacted at +Roger Burgess (my avatar is a shocked-looking
Pip-boy). Bring 1st level FLAILSNAILS compatible characters of the
following classes: Fighter, Dwarven Vaultguard, Magic-User. Other classes and
races will be unlocked through play. If you want to be a priest,
worship a god and tithe 20%. No clerics, only five-year olds get their
boo-boos kissed.
“The Player's Companion extends the core rules by adding a series of new classes, the dwarven machinist and spelunker, the elven ranger, and some human classes - mystic (monk), shaman (druid), and priestess. I'll come out and say it though, the thing that got me fired up with the book-love was the extensive list of templates. (I think they claim there are 144 of them). An ACKS template is basically some pre-selected options that speeds up character generation and gives the character a bit of early flavor. ACKS supports the old school roll-and-go - it's got basic 3d6 in order for abilities and simple classes, like classic D&D. The templates take it the rest of the way, by adding a preconfigured set of starting equipment, starting money, and suggested proficiency selections.”
"Only five-year olds get their boo-boos kissed." That's awesome.
