Great idea!

Hullo, jp1885,

Any chance that you can post the link to that music video here?

Thanks, in advance. 🙂

Certainly - https://youtu.be/rXW2-qbSKpA

Awesome! By all means join the CONline discord and register on the Warhorn site (though this isn’t compulsory)

Discord voice channel maybe?

The biggest problem I have with GMing the game for RoL newbies is avoiding spoilers!

By way of introduction, I always send them a link to Doc Brown's RoL music video a few days before we start.

Hi,

My local boardgames group is running it's annual convention in May - Here for Games Con, a free inclusive charity games convention raising money for Herefordshire Mind.
For the first time this includes CONline - an online RPG and gaming con. As part of this, I'll be running a Rivers of London RPG online session on the 4th May, 19:00 - 23:00 Uk time.
We'll be playing The Bookshop case file and there's room for a couple more players!

Also got a ‘shipped’ notification - yay!

Thanks!

Here's my latest, fan-written case file for the Rivers of London RPG. An appointment with London's worst supergrass leads to a madcap chase in Bloodhounds of Bermondsey!

From the spell description:

If used in combat, the spell is an attack and is resolved exactly the same as a firearms attack (Combat, page 123), with the attack roll (Firearms) replaced by the spellcasting roll (Magic). If successful, it inflicts 1 damage total.

I can attest that Dangermouse has done a cracking job at this. Bravo sir!

Now I want to have someone throw a tin of beans at my players’ PCs.

Would Fireball be effective against armour? I guess it depends on what the armour is designed to protect against.

Cheers everyone!

Thanks Dangermouse, that’s what I suspected.

Might be a bit harsh on players who want to learn magic later on, but I’ll just have to warn them during character creation.

I'm sure it's somewhere in the rules, but I can't find it!

Can a player save up enough Development points to buy an Advantage that requires prerequisite Characteristics, if they don't meet the prerequisites?

E.g. someone has saved 10 Development points and wants to gain the Magical advantage, but only has 40 INT and 50 POW. Can they do it?

Thanks in advance.

A useful flowchart in the event of a death in your games…

Here's my latest fan-written, free-to-use case file, entitled "Why Was He Born So Beautiful?"

I hope you like it!

I noticed a mistake in 'Lollipop Lollipop', so here's an updated version.

Good luck!

Impressive! Really looking forward to seeing your work.

I’m still ploughing through case file #2. Just need to write the finale, sort the layout, finish the artwork and letter the cover and it’s ready for playtesting.

I only had 2 players for our session this evening, so I ran the Call of Cthulhu one-shot 'The Dead Boarder' and adapted it slightly for RoL It went rather well I think!

What other scenarios do you think would work for RoL, with a little tweaking?

In addition to case files, has anyone tried writing unofficial sourcebooks for the rpg? I’m toying with the idea of producing something about the genius loci of the River Wye - my take on it anyway. Truth be told it’ll be more a source-pamphlet than a book!

I should specify that I’m asking about material to be posted on this forum, the RoL RPG Facebook page, the Discord server etc. for free!

Great stuff! I’m still wrestling with my second case file. Getting ‘difficult second album’ vibes at the moment, but I’ll battle on!
