the Song of Bear Trap

Bear Trap was not the most reliable of players. He often had way too much to drink while playing, or showed up to games already drunk, and as a result had been kind of written off as a player who was mostly just along for the ride, and not much of a contributor. One night, after having to be dropped off, because he was too drunk to drive, he showed up and essentially went quiet for a good couple of hours, mostly just nodding and pointing his way through the session. This particular adventure had a significant level of intrigue as the party was split near evenly in allegiance to opposing factions. And at one point in the night there was a betrayal, and a large interparty brawl, ending with one of the party, an outlaw, in the custody of law enforcement, and on his way to execution. After an hour of discussion and debate, the outlaw’s allies in the party had essentially given up hope of saving the doomed man, when out of nowhere, apropos of nothing, after having been near silent for a good 2 hours, Bear Trap sits up straight, claps his hands together and asks, “Is he wearing that helmet he always wears?” referring to the outlaw, the man had a family heirloom, a famous helmet, worn by his father, and his father’s father, an item he rarely if ever took off. “Of course,” I say, “He’s a notorious outlaw and he’s known for wearing it, that’s how people recognize him.” “Alright, this is what we’re gonna do,” he said. “I have some common public servant friends that work at the garrison. What we’re gonna do is, first we need some priest robes. Then we have two of the guys grab him and another guy out of their cells, switch their clothes and put that helmet on the other guy, after gagging him of course, Then we have another guy walk him out of there in priest robes, while the other two are taking the guy who now has the helmet on away…” “To be executed in the outlaw’s place?” I ask. “Yeah!” he responded, proudly. The entire group was stunned by all of this, and left speechless for several minutes. I had them make a couple of Persuasion tests, and a couple Disguise tests to get away with all of their shenanigans, and they did, easily. The whole team even came together to make it happen. It was a good and fun plan, and the best part of all of this and why it became a legend, was everyone in the party, even the rivals, finally got together, got on the same program, worked together to accomplish their goal, and never had any issues with infighting again.

a Deadly Encounter

Recently while asea in uncharted waters in the east, a handful of adventurers and their retinue had a dangerous encounter with something from deep within the sea’s darkest of depths. Their ship itself was nearly destroyed, and many of the crew were lost. What follows is a first-hand accounting of the incident from one of the very few survivors.

“We were out on the ship, it was a stormy night, of course, right..? Sailing, minding our own business with Captain TenSar at the helm, out on the open sea. When suddenly, out of the darkness, huge, I mean, huge, massive, monstrous tentacles sprang up from the depths, grabbing at the crew, ripping them from the deck, and crushing the ship. I sprang into immediate action, hacking and slashing at the tentacles, any and all that I could reach. Until I too was grabbed up and the terrible thing tried to drag me under. I fought and fought, finally freeing myself of its grasp. Desperately, and with the last of my remaining strength, I clawed my way back aboard our battered ship. What happened after that who can say. The creature, what ever it was, disappeared beneath the dark waters. Leaving only a handful of us as survivors”. KelMinOr

the Adventurers’ League

the motley crew of adventures including the noble TazRith ka HellFyre, the hulking CyaNara, the Caid, StoRin the drunkard, and the blasphemer Tess, began their adventure investigating the disappearance of beloved statesman the noble Senator Sirus ka RhoKett, and the theft of the Lineage Book of the Master of Horses of the great house KesKel of the Middle Kingdoms on the first day of the Games.

then, continuing their investigations, they made a deal with a Ra Bani chief Boss Bilik for information, and aided the elderly owners of the Old Town Brewery in finding the source of a terrible odor in their cellar. Then, found themselves cornered in an alleyway by dozens of members of rival gangs while making an exchange for the stolen Lineage Book.

then, after careful diplomatic negotiations, and some underhanded dealings, they were able to retrieve the Lineage Book and return it to its rightful owner. Then, in exchange for information involving their investigation into the missing statesman, they traveled to the Lumber camp in search of several missing lumberjacks, only to find a pair of goblins looting the camp. The racist bastards then callously murdered the helpless little goblins in a fit of impotent rage, even though there was no evidence of wrong doing. Their pitiful pleas of mercy were ignored as they were mercilessly executed without even being given a chance to pray to their goblin deties

then, after tracking the goblins to their camp, engaged in a long protracted skirmish with the goblins, and their massive ogre companion. The companions won a costly victory, with StoRin the drunkard losing an arm in the battle. They then discovered the remains of the missing lumberjacks, ending the mystery.

Updates

It has come to my attention that there are several editing and printing errors that have popped up in the first edition copies of Feudal Legacy: Legends of IxKenDren. My apologies for the oversights. I will attempt to address them each individually as they come to my attention.

Character Generation: Heritage (Chapter 1); the header and the paragraph for the Pureblood trait is missing, and should appear in this section. It should read, Pureblood Rare All of your ancestors as far back as can be remembered are of the same demi-human heritage. You gain the racial modifier, and may select from their traits as normal. Preferring to keep to them themselves, Purebloods are often isolated in small, highly tradition oriented, tightly-knit, family centric communities.

Character Generation: Personal Traits (Chapter 1); The Trait ‘Funny’ the word ‘Perform’ does not belong in the description of the trait’s effect.

Game Mechanics: Combat (Chapter 2); the paragraph under the heading ‘Initiative, Actions, & the Order of Operations‘ has been rephrased, it should read, “When enemies become aware of one another, and it is decided that combat is going to take place, everyone potentially involved, and aware, in combat rolls an Initiative test (INIT+1d12). This roll not only determines who goes before whom, but also determines the number of actions all participants get each round of combat. The higher a score the character gets, the more actions they get. Characters gain 1 Standard action at a 1 INIT and 1 additional Standard action for every 10 points above 1. In addition, characters gain 1 Off-Hand action at a 6 INIT and 1 additional Off-Hand action for every 10 points above 6. The character with the highest INIT score takes the first turn, and may perform up to one Standard and one Off-Hand action, or one Complex action. Once the first character has acted, and their turn is over, an Initiative “clock” begins to tick downward from their INIT score. A character takes their next action when the Initiative “clock” ticks down 10 points. For instance, a character with a 24 INIT score takes their turn when the Initiative “clock” reaches 24, 14, and 4. The character with the next highest INIT score then takes their turn, and so on until all combatants have used all of their actions. Characters are free to use their actions as they see fit to either attack or defend, but these are all of the actions they get until the round of combat is over and Initiative is rolled again for the next round of combat. One round of combat is equal to 10 seconds.”

Game Mechanics: Martial Techniques (Chapter 2); the ability ‘Cross’ should deal ((MIT)+(1/2 Punch)+1d3) Blunt damage.

Game Mechanics: Martial Techniques (Chapter 2); the ability ‘Quick Flail’ is missing, and should appear in this section. It should read, “Quick Flail- You may perform the Flail attack as an Off-Hand action, but not move.”

Skills (Chapter 3); the Knowledge Skill ‘Adhesives’ should appear under the Science ‘Alchemy’. It should read, “Adhesives- This is the measure of the character’s knowledge of adhesive compounds. ((Adhesives) + (WIT) + 1d12).”

FAQ

Why are there no Common Personal Traits?

You will find that there are no Common Personal Traits listed in the character generation section of Feudal Legacy: Legends of IxKenDren. This is by design. Personal Traits are by their nature things that separate a character from the crowd, personal idiosyncrasies that are relatively unique to that character. In the case of Common Personal Traits the opposite is true. These would be traits that make a character blend in with the crowd. Things like right-handedness, or brown hair, or brown eyes, etc… In the coming expansions there will be Common Personal Traits that players may choose from, these will be based on the region of their birth, such as blond hair, and blue eyes being common in the South, while black hair and green eyes are common in the East, for example.

Can my character have more than 1 Heritage, Education, and/or Status?

A character may have as many Uncommon heritages as they are willing to spend traits on, but then may only have Uncommon heritages, they may not also have a Rare and/or Common heritage. Otherwise a character may only have 1 Heritage, Education, and Status.

Why is making a magic user so confusing?

This is also by design. Magic users are deliberately difficult for first time players to make because, from a design standpoint, I feel that a player should have a strong understanding of how the game works mechanically before they start bending the existing rules with magic.

Can my character pick up more personal traits after character generation?

Associations, Contacts, Reputations, and Imperfections are the only traits a character may gain after character generation. These represent the cults, gangs, guilds, etc… that they join, friends, and enemies they make, what the NPCs they encounter think about them, and injuries or traumas they have endured. All of these are gained through game-play and the GM is the ultimate arbiter of the effects that they have in their story.

How much experience should I give my players?

I personally give my players 100 xp just for showing up to each game session. Then I give out increments of 25 xp for completing simple tasks, 50 for more difficult tasks, 100 for more challenging or complicated tasks, and 200 for complicated long term challenges.

Can my character make a skill test even though it doesn’t have any points in the skill?

A character may attempt any skill test, even if they have no points assigned to the related skill, except for Arcane Knowledge.

Why are there so many mistakes and typos in your book J.W.?

I don’t know, I’m an idiot, what do you want me to say? I’m sorry, I tried my best.

Tips for Players

Wear a helmet.

Fit your armor.

Work together.

Make friends.

Appraise everything.

Tips for GMs

Before game play begins, have the players make 6 ALERT and Sense Deception tests. Then when the characters need to make them during the game, roll a d6 and apply the appropriate pre-rolled result. That way game play is not interrupted, and the player’s meta knowledge doesn’t effect their decision making.

It is ok if a character dies. TPKs are also ok. Though killing off a character is not the ultimate goal of the GM, and the GM ought to be impartial, if it happens its not the end of the world. Sometimes it has to happen for the players to grasp the gravity of their characters’ situation, and for them to realize that there are actually consequences for their actions, or that there at least ought to be. But since the goal is for everyone to have fun and be a part of the narrative, you absolutely have my permission to “fudge” numbers in the name of fair and fun play.

When building your own adventure, try to think about each scenario as a scene from movie. With one scenario leading into the next as a logical part of the story’s progression. Event B following event A because of event A, rather than event B following event A as just a random occurrence. (A leads to B leads to C, etc… Not A happens, then B happens, then C happens, with no connective tissue between them) Also, build your setting from the ground up, let the players experience your world first hand. You don’t need a lot of fantastical world building, or grand exposition dumps, or super NPCs, or wild and crazy powerful magic effects, you just need things and events that your players can identify with, so they can A: remember what’s going on in between sessions, and B: invest in the story’s outcome. Only give them the information that they need, and keep the scope simple and self-contained, if there are too many grandiose world altering events, the players will feel as though they don’t have enough of their own agency and just tune out. Let them discover your world for themselves at their own pace. And most importantly, control your ego. You are not in competition with the players. Don’t take it personal when the players make a left turn in your story and go completely away from what you had planned. Prepare ahead of time, but don’t over-prepare. Its supposed to be a fun story that everybody participates in. And lastly, do not use sexual assault as a plot device, ever. In fact, avoid sexual situations and hot-button political issues completely if possible, this is not the format for that, its rarely, if ever, appreciated, it can alienate and/or trigger your players, and is just in poor taste.
