Iron Kingdoms


So I downloaded and printed the sample adventure of IKRPG that PP released on Gen-Con. I've only skimmed through it but it looks like solid and fun RPG. 

I like the idea that the group is, more or less, a unit of mercenaries hired by people to do their dirty work. I've already built a few scenarios and plots in my mind. As far as character creation go there is a lot to think about. Not only do you have seven races to choose from, there's also over 30 "classes"... and to make it a bit more confusing you need to take 2 classes when rolling your character. A shitload of combinations come to mind. 

I haven't been looking at the rules so much (I'll probably wait until I have my hands on the book itself), but it reminds me a lot of the miniature game, which is good. Many of the rules you can figure out by just hearing the name - pathfinder, gunfighter, though and so on. 

We'll probably play the sample adventure this week or weekend. I'll try to give you a better first impression (and maybe some pictures) from our game.

  1. I heard somewhere that you could pretty much use stuff from the tabletop game with some tweeking to the cards. It's gonna be awesome to try it out.
