Index Card RPG Core: Second Edition

Product Information

This extends to Dungeon/Game Masters too, by the way. Along with advice for making your life easier, you can also buy a series of very cheap, illustrated Index Cards for printing out. These help you create entire sessions much like a Tarot reading. Want to see the adventure location? Draw a random card. Can't decide on a boss? Draw another card. It's perfect if you're a time-strapped GM and ideal for improvisation - in my test session, we had a blast coming up with explanations for the often-bizarre cards we ended up with. It's a thing of pure imagination, and the results are special. TLDR: Bundle of Holding is offering virtually everything that has been officially published for Index Card RPG at a fraction of the normal price until March 22, and you should get it if you’re into flexible, fast, action-oriented d20 action. In celebration of this anniversary, the Runehammer fan community invites you to join in an unprecedented online gaming event—RuneJammer 2023—an entire week of ICRPG play opportunities and live workshops, with over 50 game sessions offered by our fantastic community contributors.

As the book says, no amount of reading teaches as much as putting rubber to the road, so a mate and I ran through it last night. Index Card RPG Core Master Edition is an update to the Index card RPG cCre 2nd edition that I reviewed in 2020. This game that is derived from Dungeons & Dragons and is reasonably intercompatible with it, but it's rules are so streamlined, and in places innovative that it is by no means the same game, and is released under its own license. The RPG is popular and has spawned numerous supplements and fan-made resources as you will see below and is published by Runehammer. ICRPG Character Sheets on DriveThruRPGWhile icrpg RPG core Master Edition offers plenty of settings, the game itself is not setting bound. It can easily be adapted almost any genre with only a few simple design choices. The addition of classes has made it a little more labor-intensive to write a new setting for the game, but only slightly so. Warp Shell is a science fantasy setting inspired by Warhammer 40,000 and, as with Alfheim it has been significantly expanded with new races, classes and abilities. Age of Snakes: Adventures in a Fallen Alfheim: Here’s my promo video of this book. This is one of the ones I wrote myself. Brandish Gilhelm (ICRPG creator) illustrated all of it. The book has a variety of plothooks, players tags and region descriptions that riff off of the WORLDS supplement. And it also contains three full one-shots. Everything is focused on the fall of the fantasy realm of Alfheim to so-called the Snake Men. Blood & Snow: Here’s my video review of this supplement. This was the first review I ever did on my channel.). I got to play in an extensive, multi-partied parallel campaign using this supplement as part of the basis, so it’s near and dear to my heart. Basically it’s Caveman ICRPG with some fantastical Neolithic elements. Like a lot of the smaller ICRPG supplements, it’s written very concisely and leaves you thirsting for more. That’s both good and bad, of course.

For anyone planning to build content sheets, one-shots, settings, classes, loot tables, adventures, and the like, please include this badge on any material you put on the ‘net! In March 2021 we presented the Index Card RPG Bundle featuring the fast-playing, modular DIY RPG toolset from Runehammer Games. This has removed the level-less and classless element from the game to some degree. Characters now have abilities innate to them that cannot be lost or taken away. These remain less significant than the abilities one can gain by finding rare epic level Loot. Bearcats: Here’s my video review of this supplement. This is a pretty wildly imaginative one. You play a member of an ‘80s-style high school, like a student or a teacher, but you’re on a domed settlement on an asteroid or alien planet, and very deadly aliens have begun to invade your sleepy town. It’s inspired by the movie Red Dawn. Again, it leaves you wishing so hard for more of the awesome illustrations and unique world.Altered State: I think without a doubt the most important aspect of this cyberpunk supplement is the smattering of cool game mechanics that it comes with. Those were heavily playtested and stood the test of time. If a character loses all of their gear, they're left with only a few character class abilities, some of which are gear dependent anyway, and so a character can be reset to nearly beginning level of ability whenever it suits the campaign, which ends itself to a greater level of campaign longevity.
