Last time on Song of Swords: Jimmy's anime girl reaction face folder dumped Rat fecht repost Why SoS is the way it is Rules for the upcoming Tournament and a few character submissions!
Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. Kickstarter is happening NOW we are kicking ass baby!
Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
MEGA folder containing current version of the game and all supplementary materials. Note that the latest version of the game is v1.9.9 but with additional supplements. It's NOT what's currently on Opaque's website, because Jimmy is Jimmy. mega.nz/#F!S89jTT7J!ozFi9GvzaFGHfBa59Ik2-Q

Submitting my tournament character for lore review before I build him.
An Orredin nobleman who, long ago, was a high up in the Imperial army. He commanded, led, advised the Emperor, and was generally a pretty fucking big deal. However, following his retirement, he spent literally centuries throwing debauched orgies and absurd tournaments. By the time he was approached with a request to back a coup against the Emperor, he had forgotten most of the things that had made him valuable to the Empire in the first place. When the coup failed he was shoved off in a pointless position that would never support his way of life. Now (relatively) impoverished and having forgotten most of the things he made his fortune with in the first place, he has done the unthinkable and left Helion to remake his fortune. As it turns out, this involves hand to hand combat in the arena. Oh, well. He fought once, he can fight again.

>someone is trying to argue that maille armor wasn't widely used in europe and is just a meme Someone give me sources, I need to bludgeon this person.
Jacob Sanchez
It's okay. Today, because of For Honor, I had people try to tell me that A) katanas could cut through late-medieval plate B) katanas weren't made of steel, but they couldn't tell me what they were made of, and c) plate was super heavy and made you slow.

Literally any medieval illustration. Is this somewhere on Veeky Forums, or a retarded person you know from elsewhere?
It's all true though Katanas are the greatest weapon ever made You can even cut through T-72s with a katana. That's why the USSR didn't invade Japan after WW2
Caleb Hall
They probably also think that samurai armor was made of wood.
