FU Sword & Sorcery Hack

Stealing liberally from Barbarians of Lemuria i came up with the following descriptors:

  • Race/Culture
  • First Career
  • Past Career
  • Current Career
  • Edge
  • Flaw
 Conditions: Drunk, Drugged, Hungry, Thirsty, Stunned, Bleeding, Exhausted, Unconscious, Poisoned, Freezing, Heat stroke.

Careers of course stand for the multiple, typical S&S professions that pulpy heroes engage in their eventful lives.

Here is a sample character. Samriel of the Red Hills, a scribe before the recent fall of his country, he was sold as a skilled slave by foreign conquerors and learned to rely on his wits. Making "nothing comes to he who does not take what he wants" his personal motto. Escaped from his masters thanks to series of fortuitous circumstances, he is now ready to face the world on his own terms.

  • Race/Culture: Namoran
  • First Career: Scribe
  • Past Career: Slave
  • Current Career: Thief
  • Edge: Honest face
  • Flaw: Spendthrift
Drives: Samriel was from a wealthy family back home, he will not be satisfied by mere baubles like his colleagues. He is waiting for the big score, meanwhile spending all his hard earned cash to live among the luxuries of the nobles. If only for a night.
