The Adventurer "player-character" archetype in my fantasy world. I suppose you'd say this specific example is a "fighter" if you use D&D terms.
Anyone can become a ventour, and anyone can lose ventour status by being a murder hobo, becoming "outlaw"
Color drawing a woman knight in armor, looking tired from battle, a bit lost, holding a necklace in her right hand Her armor has some leaves and thorns shaped engravings She has dark red hair and a green light hits part of her face and armour
βIβll never stop looking for youβ
Five knives. 1. The Gilt Reaper, an ornate dagger with a long, nimble blade and a bejeweled pommel. 2. Harvest, a pitted and discolored sickle. 3. Gutspiller, a long, broad, simple weapon not unlike a chef's knife. 4. The Elder, a flint blade adhered to a thick wood grip with a face carved crudely into its side. 5. The Shattered Hilt of Elf-Terror, a richly decorated dagger with a broken blade and an ellipsoid, disc hilt and claws at the pommel gripping a pear-shaped briolette-cut jewel. The image is in black ink with grey-brown inkwashes.
Baby's very first ink washes...

I'm glad everyone banded together to preserve free speech and kink rights by *checks notes* harassing a trans woman until she deactivated her account.

happy new year!! and i definitely agree, iβve kinda moved away from βi need to finish/100% every game i playβ towards getting what i want to get out of it, whatever that is

i kinda like it when my characters die :3
ooo very cool! would love to see how this goes!

ooo very cool, thank you both! i will definitely check this out :))
honestly the weird morale system was maybe the biggest thing that put me off of Chainmail, so this sounds kinda perfect!
oh, i think i remember seeing that on his blog a while back, but never checked it out! my curiosity is definitely peaked tho, is it based on Chainmail or its own system?
im also definitely interested in how it interfaces with od&d! iβve sort of had it in my head for a while that i want to run a campaign centred around a mercenary company, using some combination of both systems
i liked it! it definitely took a bit of figuring out, but once we did i had a lot of fun. im not sure how it holds up compared to other wargames tho, since my main frame of reference was playing warhammer at a freindβs house a couple times as a teenager.
i really should start painting minis and stuff,, have kinda wanted to for ages, and recently got to play Chainmail using lego figures, so ive been way tempted to do more wargaming type stuff lately
