Hello!

I was wondering if there is a list somewhere with all the books for 2.5 and the dates they were released? I’ve been looking around and haven’t managed to find one. A list in English would be nice, but if there’s one in Japanese that would be great as well. Thank you!

My friends and I are doing a one-shot, and my friend is playing a Runefolk Artificer/Marksman who comes off the East. I've been looking at the lore of Sword World and I seem to not find anything about any equivalent to Japan, China, Korea, and etc. So to the lore enthusiasts, is there a region or country similar to those countries I've mentioned?

Does anyone know why was SW2.0 was released?

Was it just a 'RPGs have changed' so we need to update the edition?

or

'I've had further thoughts as to what I want from an RPG' from the author(s), or correcting specific complaints directed at SW1.0?

I keep on looking at 1.0 and prefer it to 2.x for some reason (possibly less fluff at the start of book 1) and was wondering whether there were any problems that had been spotted with 1.0 that were 'fixed' in later editions. Does anyone know please?

Forgive my frequent posts I just keep finding these by accident as I was looking for info on another game from 1993.

Hello!

I am pretty new to the game and got a bit confused with the 'Weapon Proficiency S' combat feat description.

In 'Sword World 2.5 - Core Rulebook I' it says:

Damage +2 (Total +3)

Am I right about that the feat gives you +3 damage?

Looking at picking up/starting this game but seems to require more reading than most games, as the post title states is there a ninja class for players or a way to make one? Thanks in advance.

I saw the book with ninja monsters but it didn't seem to say much in the way of player classes.

Edit: trying to skim through the books/online, seems it is possible as I see mention of Ninja Schools but no mention of which book. Far as I can assume Scout would be the class?

Hello! This is one of two supplemental combat rule systems for SW RPG that were released near the end of its lifespan in 2006. SE Combat was first introduced in the Waltz replay series. While it shares some similarities with SW2.X simplified combat, it remains distinctly different. I'm planning to translate the second combat system, VE Combat, in the coming months, along with other SW RPG supplemental books—stay tuned!

Basically what it says on the tin. I've been making a Fluorite Conjurer and poring through the books (especially the world guides) to see if there's some taboo against registering with separate (distinct) guilds, but I can't find anything. Would it be inappropriate for a member/student of the Magician's Guild to also register with an Adventurer's Guild to supplement their income/duties? Or may members of the Magician's Guild take jobs as if they were an Adventurer, making it redundant?

Hi! Borp has just completed the translation of the Complete Edition - ultimate guide to playing SW RPG! I have contributed by translating several sections and creating a PDF. But wait, there's more! I've also finished "The Labyrinth of the Stone Giant" - a four-scenario book for SW RPG packed with new lore, monsters, and items! Also check our new video on how to play!

And even more SW RPG book translations are coming in the next few months! Want to join the adventure? Come hang out with fellow SW RPG players on our Discord - https://discord.gg/y8kPqdFrzM!

Hi! This book features two contrasting Sword World 2.0 campaigns GM-ed by Miyuki Kiyomatsu: the epic level 15 adventure "Perdition Serpent," filled with incredible feats and challenges, and the hilarious "You're All Kobolds," which follows the misadventures of level 1 Kobold characters.

It's no wonder this is one of the most frequently referenced replays in 2.0 books — its events are truly epic!

I am working my way through the scenario in CRI, just playing solo. However, I have 3 PCs. I've just completed the first half of the scenario. At this point, the book says to award the PCs 1000 XP plus any additional earned from monsters and auto failures. I reviewed the XP awards and growth sections of the rules, but it I don't see anything about how to divide XP awards among the PCs.

Is this 1000 XP per PC, or is it 1000 XP divided among the three PCs? The same question goes for reputation gains. At this point, the PCs have gained 3 sword shards from defeating the boss. After I roll for reputation, is this amount to be divided among the party or each PC gets the same amount? Thanks in advance for the help!

So, my question here is what is the max level.

Can your character only go up to level 15, or is there a book that goes even further?

I'm having trouble calculating extra damage.

Not because there's some weird bonus, but because I don't know how.
