Updated 13 hours ago
Aketon is a revamp of CHAINMAIL, 3rd Edition, by Gary Gygax and Jeff Perren and OD&D by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson. It's lighter-weight, but still sturdy, so its no longer like chainmail, its more like aketon. Get it here: https://ward-against-evil.itch.io/aketon

Dragons BeyondNow that the terrain has been determined, it is possible to select the monsters that inhabit each of the 19 hexes (6 miles across). For this, I am using The Usual Monsters (my as yet unpublished supplement to Dragons Beyond).9 views -

Aketon (Gambeson) - Livestream
Dragons BeyondStarts at 13:24 - the rest is me fumbling around to set up the stream. We are learning to play the Aketon system which is a very cut down version of OD&D + Chainmail. There is a lot of flavor and punch packed into this ruleset. It is available on itch.io at https://ward-against-evil.itch.io/aketon Character generation starts at 1:27:30-ish. Prior to that it is campaign prep. FYI, the comments I made about FMC (what I mistakenly called Full Metal Chainmail) are actually about Fantastic Medieval Campaigns (FMC) which is also on itch. I'm sure the designer is a lovely person, but the rules left me cold.96 views 3 comments
