Last Wednesday I took part in the first session of a new fantasy role-play game. It is being run by a very experienced gamemaster called Paolo and we are using the free version of the core Nimble RPG rules.
These are available online:
Also available from the same website as free downloads are:
- Blank Printable Character Sheets
- Form Fillable PDF Character Sheet
- Premade Level 1 Heroes
- Adventure Maps
Of the available character types, I chose to be a Berserker named Ragnar Shortbeard, and thanks to ChatGPT, I look like this:
My fellow players include:
- A Cheat
- A Shadowmancer
- A Shepherd
- A Stormshifter
- A Songweaver
The story so far:
The richest man in the world has decided to retire, and to mark his retirement he is going to hold a ten-day-long party aboard the largest ship in his trading fleet. I had been approached by his head of security to act in an undercover role at the event, and along with my fellow adventurers, I had obtained an invitation to the party.
On going aboard, those of our party who had magical powers had to wear a special jewelled gold bracelet around their arm so that they could not use their powers during the party. Those of us who were armed had to hand over our weapons 'for safe keeping' although the Cheat managed to conceal a blade in their walking stick.
It soon became obvious that the ship was not an ordinary one. To move from one location to another, all one had to do was to pass through a portal and state your destination ... and you were transported there. In addition, if you wanted anything like a drink or food, a servant would appear with it and then disappear as soon as you had taken it from them.
After going to the main room aboard the ship, we met several of the other guests, including someone who was dealing in recreational magic potions, twin sisters who are singers and who are booked to perform later during the event, and a lyre-playing bard who was performing on a dais in the centre of the room when we arrived.

Fantastic picture of Bob the Barbarian! I don't know the Nimble rules, I'll take a look. Good Luck in your quest.
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteI gave ChatGPT a copy of a recent image of my face, described my role, and asked to be armed with a double-edged battle axe … and this is the image it came up with!
The rules seem to be easier to use that some of the other RPG rules I’ve seen in action, and seem to be the ones other groups at the club are using as well. I’m told by D&D aficionados that they are the best of what is currently available.
All the best,
Bob
Looks like it will be a lot of fun Bob and the AI generated Bob the Berserker is superb!
ReplyDeleteDominic McGibbon,
DeleteMy last character wasn’t allowed to wield anything other than a mace or dagger, and I want one who was armed with something much more lethal … hence the choice to be a berserker.
All the best,
Bob
