About the adventure

In Cordaya the Road Guard is highway patrol, roadside assistance, and anything else the King needs them to be. With two weeks of training, and a goal to make the roads a safer place they are sent out into the world. Characters don't need to be fighters or wizards, anyone can be assigned a year on the Road, some to avoid punishment others at the King's demand. Adventures will revolve around trying to fulfill the King’s order despite complications and confusion along the way.

About me

I've been GMing for over thirty years. I've run and played in MSH, DC Heroes, Palladium, Rifts, Champions, a little bit of GURPS, and a bunch of random one-offs. My preferred system is Risus. Allows for fun without a bunch of rules getting in the way.

Character creation

Creating your character

Standard 10 Dice Risus Characters. Characters can be the fighters, wizards, clerics, etc. you'd expect in a fantasy game. They can also be regular people from the countryside or city; farmers, merchants, scribes, etc. The discord is the place to ask questions and refine the characters clichés.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Join the discord. Ask questions. Make a character.

What Bryan brings to the table

Very little will be needed. I run games in theatre of the mind, there will rarely be maps or handouts. The world is also mine and I'll be giving relevant information as we go through the countries and cities of Cordaya.

Homebrew rules

Technically I do use homebrew rules but it's more for one-off equipment, and bonuses for dramatic moments the character has created. Risus isn't big on rules.

How Bryan creates a safe table

The Discord is the place to note your nopes and nays. During the game feel free to throw at an "X Card' by saying, "Stop."
