The DM can always be looked to for the keenest insights: 'All weapons are one-handed, unless they are two-handed.' Mmm, thanks!

The current session of Iron Heroes is going quite well. We've survived a couple of encounters, explored a strange relic of an old civilisation, and found some loot that will help with our mission of subterfuge. As the tension grows with the excitement we must eat more crisps with dip! Bert reaches behind him, where […]

After an introductory week with Iron Heroes our characters have been tweaked a little.

Well, except for Nobility and Royalty, and we are meeting lots of nobility and royalty all of a sudden. But never fear, as […]

The problem with having a goblin in the party when fighting a bunch of goblins is that your priest may mistake ally for foe when deciding where to direct an aggressive action.
