This story has absolutely nothing to do with FRPGs, but I found it too entertaining not to post here, if only to get this blog up and running again.
AKRATIC WIZARDRY: A blog wherein I scribble about role-playing games (Mythras, Against the Darkmaster, Dungeons & Dragons [esp. old school], Swords & Wizardry, Into the Unknown, Middle-earth Role-playing, Lord of the Rings Role-playing, Adventures in Middle-Earth, Crypts & Things, Call of Cthulhu, etc.) and RPG settings (Middle-earth, Cthulhu Mythos, Greyhawk, Lyonesse, Ukrasia, etc.). I also write about fantasy and science-fiction films, novels, art, TV shows, and the like.
Since we're going with "off-topic" here, I've been meaning to ask you a question: In Savage Swords of Athanor, the author credits the skill system to "Akrasia". First, is that you or is there another Akrasia? Second, where did you present it, if you did, so that I can see it separated from the Athanor background?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm that 'Akrasia', faoladh. (I own SSA, but hadn't realized that I was credited in it!)
ReplyDeleteAll my house rules for S&W are available at this blog. In the upper right hand corner is a link to an index of my house rules (with additional links in the index itself).
The skill system itself can be found here:

(A slightly different version of this system appeared in Fight On! #5.)
Thanks! That system is perhaps my favorite incarnation of skill rules for D&D-type rpgs to date.
