By This Axe I Rule!: ACKS Ability Scores
http://www.bythisaxe.co/2015/07/acks-ability-scores.html
By This Axe I Rule! Thursday, July 30, 2015. For a campaign rule I am developing, I wanted to identify the ability score most likely to be given short shrift by a player when creating an ACKS character. I had a notion based on play experience, but I thought I’d specifically survey the rules (as written) to see where each ability score comes into play. Having done this, I thought I’d share my results below. Page references are to ACKS core, Player’s Companion (PC) or Domains at War: Campaigns (D@W:C).

By This Axe I Rule! Friday, April 5, 2013. Designer’s Q&A with Alexander Macris (continued). Continued from Designer’s Q&A with Alexander Macris. ACKS Player’s Companion. CDM: The ACKS Player’s Companion provides eight pre-generated templates “ready for adventure” for each character class in the core rules and the Companion. How did templates develop as an important feature of ACKS? APM: There were a few factors at work. Randomness is also a great way to introduce flavor and setting material into the gam...
