the mer-elves control the sea lanes from their underwater Greco-Roman citystates :colbert:

(seriously though props to this game, i barely joined the campaign today and i've already got alot of neat ideas for my elves just from the game's prompting)

So the Harbinger is very much meant to be a forboding, powerful figure, which is good for a Gandalf or an Elric or maybe a Dumbledore if you're stretching things a little.

The playbooks are clearly intended to be broad stereotypes, and I don't want to open the floodgates to anything like the Improved Crossbow Fighter the way Dungeon World had, but I did feel like there was room for a less dire magical-type character. Something along the lines of Aang, Harry Potter, or maybe Edward Elric if you're stretching things a little. If you like, you could replace Harbinger with this, but I feel like they're different enough that they could co-exist in the same game.

Its not perfect, its still a little rough, it still needs bonds and an advancement schedule, but I think its ready to at least get some eyes on it.

This is the Apprentice. Lemme know what you think, comments are on if thats your thing.

neat idea for a playbook! couple random thoughts as i read

the three laws could maybe use a couple suggestions as what kind of things might be forbidden
'...and where to find them' sounds kinda broad? you get to command lore about alot of different aspects of magic, i'd suggest cutting it down abit
i'm not entirely sure what 'interact with a bureaucracy as if it were a person' entails, could need more explanation(or it could just be me forgetting something about the game's systems)
swords should totally count as an animal for friend of all living things, it's a cute idea
there's a grand total of one apprentice move that actually involves a roll and it's optional, on its face that seems kinda weird but for all i know it's fine in-play

looks pretty good for a first draft, this actually reminded me i've got a half-started idea for a fellowship playbook i should get into a showable state

There's not really much more to this, really. I kind of want to run this thing but my friends aren't that big on Zelda, so I'm just throwing this out there in case someone feels inspired by it.

if you offered to run this for goons i'm sure you'd get hit plenty of potential players (hint hint)

Structurally a Fellowship of Zelda game is going to be very different from a traditional Zelda games: not only are Zelda games (mostly) single player affairs, but they also don't really feature Ganon as an active force in the world. A Fellowship of Zelda game would be more of a race against Ganon's forces to try to get the pieces of the triforce or whatever medallions or crystals you chase in the games before Ganon gets his grubby hands on them. Oh, and of course getting the Master Sword, Ganon's only weakness, at some point.

this post now feels kinda prescient now that the new breath of the wild trailer basically makes it look like link is getting one major friendly npc from all the important loz races

Is there any chance of art-free playbooks being published for the expansions, like exist for the core fellowship?

As a more general query, I'm having trouble settling on the wording for one of my Overlord's stats. Currently it looks like this:

She is supposed to be a more subtle, political figure as foil to a very direct fellowship. I'm not sure if the above is really powerful enough, though. Anyone have any thoughts?

do the charming and rich stats not work for your overlord?
