POPULARITY
Swords Without Master er et sword-and-sorcery rollespil af Epidiah Ravachol. Det er i høj grad et narrativistisk rollespil, hvor det omdrejningspunktet for systemet er at afgøre scenetyper, der angiver hvem der har fortælleretten og hvad der overordnet skal foregå, og så hvilken tone en given scene skal fortælles i. Alle scener skal nemlig tage udgangspunkt i en af to grundtoner, enten Dyster (Glum) eller Munter (Jovial). Tonen dikterer ikke udfaldet af en scene - et mægtig kamp mod overmagten kan sagtens vindes på en dyster måde og omvendt, men netop vekselvirkningen mellem de to typer humør, og det undgå en lidt udtryksløs midterposition, er et af spillets hovedværktøjer til at fange dynamikken i sword-and-sorcery.

Our cup runneth over this episode as we were graced by the amazing Zack Garth (of the Heart Points podcast) and together we play the equally amazing Swords Without Master (by the, you guessed it, equally amazing Epidiah Ravachol). Hopefully this can serve as a primer to those new to the game and for those more familiar just sit back and enjoy!
The Rogues approach Coilspite's lair, but can they defeat the power that resides within and overthrow the devastating force of the serpent sorceror's will?
Confronted by the sorcerer Coilspite, the mystery of an empty cage and a panoply of peril, the Rogues must find their way through the mysterious realm to free the prisoner therein if they are to continue their quest in the real world.
Akashobya showed them the way, Grizzard manifested the path and Sir Leonard lead the charge. Now the Rogues find themselves in a different realm, one where their hopes and fears may be made manifest, even as the sinister power of Coilspite pursues them.
Four rogues, or more accurately three rogues and one rogue sword, have made a perilous journey from the Mirefort through the mysterious swamp-savannah to the edge of the forest where the hermit Akashobya may offer them respite on their urgent mission to warn the bastion-city of Foothold of a dreadful impending danger. But a new danger awaits them, along with the opportunity to right an ancient wrong...
It was the broken age, an age of disaster and peril, a time where the only way to survive the brutal onslaught of endless chaos was for each person to know their place. Who they could trust, who they would follow, who could protect them. Only a few brave rogues had the wherewithal to live outside the strict laws, to forge their own path and fight alone. This begins the story of four of these celebrated rogues, the notorious yet admired swords without master.
Here's the finale of our Swords Without Master session. The source of the Blood Elves' magic is revealed and our heroes know what relic the are after. But which of them, if any, will make it out unscathed? System: Swords Without Master by Epidiah Ravachol from Worlds Without Master, Issue 3 CAST: Jordan -- The Overmaster Jeff -- Randall Prouse Jeremy -- Rindesh Tel Johnny -- Minkus Furhaven
The battle has taken it's toll, and our heroes are offered only a brief respite before a new threat, from above, presents itself. The players get a bit creative and use their tricks to seemingly gain the upper-hand. But will the Overmaster let them off that easy? System: Swords Without Master by Epidiah Ravachol from Worlds Without Master, Issue 3 CAST: Jordan -- The Overmaster Jeff -- Randall Prouse Jeremy -- Rindesh Tel Johnny -- Minkus Furhaven
Things start to seem a little bleak as an army of Blood Elves prove themselves to be a bit more relentless and ruthless than originally thought, and our heroes find themselves about to be over-run. System: Swords Without Master by Epidiah Ravachol from Worlds Without Master, Issue 3 CAST: Jordan -- The Overmaster Jeff -- Randall Prouse Jeremy -- Rindesh Tel Johnny -- Minkus Furhaven
Well, it wouldn't be Bone Throwers Theater without the occasional flashback, and hints of weird magic going on. System: Swords Without Master by Epidiah Ravachol from Worlds Without Master, Issue 3 CAST: Jordan -- The Overmaster Jeff -- Randall Prouse Jeremy -- Rindesh Tel Johnny -- Minkus Furhaven
Here's a new one-shot adventure for you, as we try out Swords Without Master. In this first episode we meet the characters, find out what fuels their fight, and quickly get to see them thrown into peril against Blood Elves and the fierce beasts they have tamed.

Volor investigates the rumors of the apocalyptic prophecy. Dakkary quiets the darkness with song. Bronya comes face to face with a nemesis. Joccob discovers the effects of the "milk of paradise".
In der ersten Rezension dieser Staffel sehen wir uns Epidiah Ravachols One-Shot Epos Swords without Master genauer an. Wer DREAD schon kennt, kann vermuten das auch dieses Rollenspiel keine Alltagskost ist, aber ist es auch gut darin Sword & Sorcery Geschichten in einer Sitzung zu erzählen?
A very special bonus episode of No Rangers Allowed. The gang is together! Like in the real life! We take the opportunity to play a one-shot of Swords Without Master, a wonderful system of narrative manipulation. Turns out we are all just as ridiculous face to face as we are on the internet.

This session is scheduled for 3 hours. It will also be recorded and accessible on YouTube. We will be playing Swords Without Master, a story game of sword and sorcery. Being able to attend both sessions is not required. You must RSVP to each session you wish to attend. This series will be two one-shots set in the world of Sidereal Tenets. Think esoteric sword and planet instead of straight sword and sorcery. The tone of the game will be discussed. We will be using the X-card and an open door policy. We will abide by The Gauntlet’s Inclusivity Policy.
