Hello all! I'm a long-time GM, most of my GMing experience is with various versions of D&D as well as some experience with more indie titles like Dungeon World, Apocalypse World and FATE, and I've been sitting on a copy of The Burning Wheel without having been able to actually play it. I'm looking for an existing group with a spot left in their game for a new player, but with fair warning that I live in Finland and due to my employment situation I'll generally only be available for gaming on the weekend. OR failing at finding an established group I'm more than willing to give this game a shot with an all new group, with me taking the seat of the GM. With The Burning Wheel not available as a PDF this would mean that players having a copy of the game would be a must, as it would ease my burden as a GM to have my players on call to help me answer rules questions (I've read the book cover to cover like a hundred of times, but there's just so much to digest I think I can be forgiven for not having all of it in my mind yet). If you'd be interested in joining a new group playing The Burning Wheel on Roll20, I've got a few basic pitches set up from which we can choose one that interests you the most. Do note that basically all of these pitches assume that the characters will not necessarily be working together and their relationships with each other may even be antagonistic. I've no interest in running The Burning Wheel as another "You're an adventuring party that adventures and stuff" type of game, because that I feel doesn't play to the real strengths of the game. The campaign ideas I've got thus far are: The Kingdoms of Men Courtly intrigue and politicking in the fractious human kingdoms. Plenty of room for players to build characters of common birth with ambitions above their station or for noble characters with an interest in maintaining the status quo. For a historical frame of reference, think the Holy Roman Empire and its multitude of internal conflicts including the Thirty Years War, England and its civil war and the War of the Roses, and going a bit further in the timeline the French Revolution. The point is that the political situation is volatile and the characters (and their beliefs) are basically sitting on a powderkeg with torches lit. Also, depending on how fantastic we want to make it, characters of Dwarven and Elven stock may be acceptable, probably as outside forces with vested interests in driving the conflict one way. The Game of Dwarfs Highly similar to the above, but with all player characters as dwarves. I haven't quite figured out what the exact conflict here is, but due to the extremely interesting psychological traits given to dwarves in The Burning Wheel I feel that there is a lot of potential in a campaign based on political intrigue within the mountain halls of the dwarves. Especially given how good dwarves are at bearing grudges and coveting the riches of others, I feel there might be something in a major political conflict between two great noble houses of dwarves? Should this idea catch on, we can flesh out the details of the dwarven political situation, but again there should be something in the setting that immediately says drama and demands action. The Legions of Orcs And then there's the comedy option. Well, not really, since The Burning Wheel's orcs are quite a far cry from Warhammer's football hooligan orcs. The orcs most obviously lend themselves to a volatile game where it's easy to imagine conflict within their society: they're a society controlled by hatred and violence, where positions of leadership are granted to those most willing to kill those above their station. Of the three pitches, this is probably the one that will see the most direct applications of violence, but given that orcs in The Burning Wheel also have access to some of the game's most interesting social skills (including Poisonous Platitudes) it should offer plenty of opportunities for base intrigue. So, if you'd be interested in giving The Burning Wheel a shot with me, drop a line here! By the way, related to my timezone and availability for gaming, should this become a thing I'll most likely be running this on Saturdays between the hours of 12 AM and 12 PM EET. There's really no chance of me going any later than 12 PM due to the fact that I live with my partner and don't want to keep her up through the playing RPGs online.
