Random Starting Equipment for Conan/ZeFRS

It's been a while since posting about Conan/ZeFRS. I'm still plugging away at the second leg of the one-shots. I ran the first one, Mogg's Mountain, four times, even squeezing in a face-to-face game and am still very much in like with the action-packed system.

And of course that like means that I continue to tinker away with variants. (For more discussion on this game boogie over to the ZeFRS discussion board.)

Building off my random character generation system for the game, I put together a random equipment generator to supplement the simple menu choice from the original game.

  1. OT (Big Time) but thought you might find it useful it from the Jackson Gamers' their, Medieval Nicknames, kind of fun for a pre-battle set up

    BATTLE NAMES

    To generate these Medieval Nicknames, roll a D20 for each player. Began the count where the first person’s nickname was. If that nickname already used, go down to next name.

    Examples: The first person rolls a 12 and his nickname is “the Plunderer”. The next person rolls a 10 and so starting from 12 and counting down, we get “The Baptiser”. The next person rolls a 12 again (wrap to beginning if you go off the bottom) and becomes “The Firm”.
