Welcome!

This is a community for discussing the various Sine Nomine tabletop role playing games which are part of the "Without Number" series. This includes:

Since no specific communities exist for any of the above listed games, having a centralized location to discuss any and all of them seemed appropriate. This is also supported by the fact that each "game" is in fact completely compatible with the others.

Ran my first game of Worlds Without Number today! (self.xwn)

Today was the first session of a new campaign for my party. This is my third long-form campaign, the prior two of which were both 5E games. It's a bit surreal as this is the first time in nearly ten years of playing TTRPGs on a roughly weekly basis that I am neither playing nor running a D&D edition!

The session went great and I think this system is going to be a real breath of fresh air for the party. Combat was moving slowly, as is to be expected when a whole group is learning a new system, when I pulled out a Swarm Attack and a Shatter Shield in quick succession. That quickly changed the whole dynamic of the fight from everyone bumbling through it to the party buckling down and really working together.

It's also a very liberating feeling running a sandbox style campaign. There is so much less pressure on me to have a grand narrative in mind. That combined with a focus on PC backstory-related quests will hopefully make this the best campaign yet!

Here's hoping we can get some traffic going in this community!
