Ironsworn: Sundered Isles - Session Zero

[@hollismccray3297]

*All* odd cursed die rolls generate cursed results? Captain, we be setting sail for Ravenloft! I can't wait to see where this goes.

[@thebadspot]

I might have to be a little careful how often I roll on the cursed due with those odds, but I’ve made my choice and I’m sticking to it.

[@markbruno72]

The League of Smoke and Steel??? OMG I love that. I'm borrowing that for my own campaign 🤣

[@thebadspot]

Cool right?

[@SkittleBombs]

Yipeee, i was just looking for starforged how to play stuff to get inspired and this was in recommended before i can even start searching

[@thebadspot]

Glad to be of service!

[@thepackdog]

Just gotta say that you do such an outstanding job at explaining everything. You are truly skilled at this type of thing, and we are lucky to have a resource like you. Thanks for the amazing content.

[@thebadspot]

Thank you so much for saying such lovely things!

[@ArtWithBobClubbs]

I'm feeling a bit of Aladdin inspiration with his attitude and his monkey. Love it!

[@thebadspot]

Absolutely!

[@AmazingAaxor]

I am so very excited for you discovering your Sundering Isles!

[@thebadspot]

Me too!

[@YodraStudios]

Just wanted to stop by to say the Bad Spot is one of my favorite shows of all time. It has inspired me to start an actual-play of my own 😊

[@thebadspot]

Awwww, thanks so much for stopping by to say so, that means a lot. So cool you’ve started your own AP too!

[@Onionkid99]

It's good to back in The Bad Spot!

[@thebadspot]

Isn’t it just!

[@ReneRunsRPGs]

Let's gooooo! Starmarked is such a cool Truth, and I love the Ebb Tide undermining the Ironmongers. Such a cool character concept, full Wraith rolls are going to be EPIC! Can't wait to hear this all come together (and 100% agree, you just can't pass up a monkey!)

[@thebadspot]

Thanks dude! Btw I’m nearly finished your SI run. Loved it!

[@hughboorman]

Looking forward to the high jinks, capers and shennanigans.

[@thebadspot]

Me too!

[@TheLEHaskell1]

What about monkeyshines? Surely there will be monkeyshines!

[@thebadspot]

@TheLEHaskell1 you can never rule it out

[@100percentpowerpoint]

I'm so stoked!!! I love the idea of intrigue on the high seas

[@thebadspot]

Woah woah woah. Nobody said anything about the high seas? Gideon ain’t getting in no boat!

[@errantadventurespod]

Oh man, this is a great setup and I'm so looking forward to your new campaign!

[@thebadspot]

Thanks buddy! Should be a lot of fun!

[@fatmanny1901]

I would absolutely adore you if a podcast were created of your adventures.

[@thebadspot]

The Starforged run has just started to go up as an audio only feed and will slowly drip onto all the platforms. I am pretty certain the Sundered Isles run will be video only going forward, however...

[@seanwasson48]

@@thebadspotI would also love a podcast form of this play through if ever possible

[@thebadspot]

Hi there! The Starforged run is going up in audio only format, but I’m not sure the on camera stuff ever will. There are plugins and apps out there that let listen to KZbin without the video if you really want to…

[@mateofantasma]

Love this, I was looking for an example of play using Sundered Islands, this is spot on :)

[@thebadspot]

Happy to help!

[@s.g.5994]

I am so excited for this campaign!! I backed SI, but am waiting on all the updates to be totally finalized before I dive in. So happy to watch you take it for a spin in the meantime, thank you!

[@thebadspot]

Hope you enjoy!

[@markbruno72]

The final retail PDF files were sent to DriveThru last week so grab a copy and enjoy!

[@s.g.5994]

​@@markbruno72 ty for letting me know!! I saw the drive thru emails coming in but hadn't seen they were the final ones. Appreciate it!

[@carpelo]

Wow, a new adventure starts here, and I can't wait!

[@thebadspot]

Thanks! I can’t wait either!

[@NickMeredith]

Let's hope none of us have to wait too long!

[@thebadspot]

@NickMeredith I’m at UKGE next week, but the week after I’ll have episode 1!

[@NickMeredith]

@@thebadspot sadly I'm not at UKGF this year.

[@thebadspot]

@NickMeredith I’ll be recording the live show and dropping it as a little bonus treat at some point!

[@mikkelandersen2328]

I wasn't aware that there was a new Ironsworn in the making, much less that it has been released. Thanks for the showcase, and I'll be looking forward to the campaign!

[@thebadspot]

Yes, it’s out now! It’s going to be a lot of fun!

[@thebadspot]

Yes, it’s out now! It’s going to be a lot of fun!

[@thepackdog]

Sean Thomkin also stated that he's working on an Ironsworn 2.0, slated for a 2025 release (hopefully).

[@thebadspot]

@packdog70 I believe this is the case, yes

[@brads2041]

Your comments about magic and also the rare navigators give me a druidic feel. But it would be similar to a time when druids were pretty much gone from Europe. And also a little thought that there is a connection between these people and the ancient civilization

[@thebadspot]

Now that’s interesting…

[@theletterm2756]

I love the art piece and the monkey looks adorable with his lil hands up. Love the energy of both characters, they look like they are going to be a riot to play. Really looking forward the campaign and it will be interesting to see how the new stat array affects the game. I normally play with the default stat array but sometimes it's hard to decide what to assign to each stat that still makes sense with the character. I kinda like the idea of one great stat, one bad stat, and the rest are average.

[@thebadspot]

Thanks! Yeah I’m interested to see how it shakes out with the new array. Hopefully not too bad…

[@davidrath7828]

Can't wait for the start Matt. Hearing your most important truth, it's probably a good time to share that I'm getting a Starforged/Sundered Isles tattoo next week. Soon to be star-marked in real life!

[@thebadspot]

Don’t get on a boat!

[@LD-gc4qg]

Looking forward for the new campaign. Thank you for your great solo rpg play!

[@thebadspot]

Thank you so much! I can’t wait to get into it!

[@LD-gc4qg]

@@thebadspot Do you mind to share you pre-defined milestones? I ask, because I suffer in the same way with my background vows. Would like to see how you want to manage it this time. Thanks

[@thebadspot]

@LD-gc4qg I’ll drop these when the campaign starts!

[@LD-gc4qg]

@@thebadspot Perfect, thanks!

[@sweetpotatodato6068]

Thank you!

[@bradleyreed8876]

I'm excited to follow this. You're off to a great start!

[@thebadspot]

Thank you so much!

[@cheevocabra]

I'm so excited to get my book. I'm def going to start a solo campaign that is The Pirates of Dark Water themed, so you know I'm going to take the Monkey asset for his "jitatan monkey-bird".

[@thebadspot]

Be rude not to!

[@unclegeorge5644]

I expect that you drop here and there one "Yaaaarrrr" !

[@thebadspot]

I think it’s a contractual obligation

[@projectM1K3]

Was the blue and orange lighting an intentional choice? #Cinder #Wraith This was great!

[@thebadspot]

No, but now you’ve said it….. yes?

[@luffysh]

love it!

[@thebadspot]

Thank you!

[@benjamingagne8]

OMG CAN'T WAIT

[@thebadspot]

Next week!

[@quinn4986]

instant subscribe when you said the part about CWs. sometimes just being prepared makes all the difference and knowing that i will be able to do that has sold me on following your campaign

[@thebadspot]

It’s really important to make sure people know what to expect when they’re playing, it’s no different for an audience. Happy to have you on board!

[@StephenZipprich]

Hey Matt, just want to let you know that this video is not included in your Sundered Isles playlist. Thanks for linking to it in the session 1 video.

[@thebadspot]

Great catch! I will fix that!

[@JWMet]

Love it, looking forward to this. What did you use to draw your map? Inkarnate?

[@thebadspot]

There’s a website called Inkarnate! There’s a free version and a paid version which has way more options. It’s pretty cool.

[@JWMet]

@@thebadspot Yeah, I edited my comment about Inkarnate before I noticed you replied. I used it for my Navigational Chart as well. Thanks.

[@thebadspot]

@JWMet it’s a cool little site!

[@bobsavage3317]

☮

[@thebadspot]

Indeed

[@salty-nick]

Ooh this sounds exciting. Love the cursed die idea. I wonder if this setting or ruleset might mix well with Pirate Borg. Have you seen that game?

[@thebadspot]

I’ve seen it, yeah. I mean, they probably would mix, but to me they are both separate, distinct games and I’d just play one or the other. But the beauty of things like the oracles are that you can use them for anything, so maybe!

[@davidrath7828]

Do you use an app or website to generate your map? Thx.

[@thebadspot]

Inkarnate!

[@davidrath7828]

@@thebadspot Thanks! And congrats on the great season so far!

[@thebadspot]

@davidrath7828 thank you!

[@redcup217]

Have you ever considered ripping the audio from your videos and putting them up on Spotify or a similar platform? I know Trevor does this and, since I've recently switched jobs to one where I drive more, I have less time to watch things but more time to listen to them,

[@thebadspot]

I have and it’s one of the most requested things, but the answer is sadly no. Hosting that much stuff isn’t free and KZbin gives me by far the widest reach in terms of audience. There are plenty of ways to circumvent KZbin and just listen if that’s what you want to do.

[@ankurnarayan]

YASSSSSSSSSS

[@thebadspot]

Yeeesesesesesesesssss!

[@dirkvoltaar]

Do you plan to use Stargazer for this campaign Matt? Not sure the new Sundered Isles material is ready yet?

[@thebadspot]

I don’t think so. My note taking has got so out of control I’ve fallen back into using google docs again. I’ll probably check out the Sundered Isles update when it does arrive though.

[@dirkvoltaar]

@@thebadspot I’d like to use it, but maybe I’ll just wait. I have other tools I could use. You should look into Miro if you’re a visual type. Not a VTT, but a good tool to gather stuff together.

[@thebadspot]

@eriksalholm I’ve heard it’s good, I’ll take a look!

[@SkittleBombs]

The SaS Smoke and Steel

[@thebadspot]

Snappy rebrand!

[@tylerh2548]

Y'know what's fun, I have an existing character in Neverwinter Nights persistent world named Gideon Trench, who is the near opposite of Finch: streetwise, yes, but a "street soldier" mercenary with an attack dog. A little bit Mad Max, a little bit Guy Ritchie. Come to think, i should translate him into IronForged system: Hound companion, Mercenary, Weapon Master to start. Might just use the stats for the Combat Bot or Rockhorn for the wolf-dog. Combat Bot, most likely. Rockhorn really wants a beefier creature. (On another tangent, when remixing for a Werewolf: Forsaken hack, I would utilize the Rockhorn comoanion as the hybrid wardog "form" with the companion health = the "wolf nature" resilience to really make the werewolf character tough with essentially an additional, separate 5-health track represnting "primal fury" or some such. Imagine something like: Rockhorn [War-Wolf Form]/ Naturalist [Wolfen Nature]

[@thebadspot]

Sounds fun!

[@kvasac123]

Gideon kind of looks like a younger you in that art piece...

[@thebadspot]

It has been said, even though it was wholly unintentional

[@TheLEHaskell1]

On first glance at the character art I thought “Owen Wilson”; on second glance, I thought “Cole Wehrle”. Looking forward to all the bad spots Gideon and Lorenzo get themselves into.

[@thebadspot]

@TheLEHaskell1 Should be a lot of fun!
