Update to v5


The Ironspheres supplement has been updated  again! This updated includes:

  • A list of several common belief systems.
  • An expanded list of sample paradigm.
  • The description of paradox flaws and how to use them.
  • The addition of several small sections (Sorcerers, Pattern Bleed, Off-Camera magic, etc.)
  • Included an application of the Ironspheres supplement in the Ironlands setting. This includes three magical traditions, ready for your characters to join or to be a backdrop behind your character's exploits.
  • Greatly expanded the Umbral Spirit setting
  • Modified Oracle #17B to make the horrible list of mechanical applications less likely.

Originally, this material was going to be part of a follow-on supplement to the Ironspheres document. The concept was that the Ironspheres supplement was going to be setting-agnostic and anything following up could bolt on a setting. This new document was going to provide the information needed to play in the Ironland.

However, after writing it, I decided that the general topics (sorcerers, ceremonial magic, etc) really belonged in the main document. In addition, since the original document is geared to the Ironsworn game, it should also include information on how to use it in the Ironsworn setting.

I intend to write up an actual-play for the Ironspheres supplement in the Ironsworn setting. This is primarily to provide concrete examples of how the Ironspheres mechanics work. I also intend to write up a document for a modern-day or a futuristic setting, in order to show that this is not just for the "middle ages" settings.
