I suggest a new mechanic, the Epic System Idea: create a history of your “kingdom” and tales of your heroes Mechanic: Every action awards epic points to the figure executing the action The amount of epic points reflect the epicness of the action, e.g. killing a goblin gives little points, kill…

This is an idea I would enjoy immensely, especially with my love for lore/RPG however I am afraid it will not come to conception because Team Radiant probably doesn’t have time/want to deal with making a second core system. Which essentially would be needed to bring this to fruition. But I still hop…

Sounds almost exactly like what I want. I just want those events to be grouped by something like Sagas or the like. And as said put in books one can publish online or print or whatever. Also I liked the idea of the sagas being told ingame around the campfire. And I do hope radiant changes the popul…

However, if you go on too long in a game, each story will be prefaced by the first chapter of the Biblical book of Matthew. That probably should be limited to only tracing back a few generations…

Cinematic moments are on the official road-map for SH. So the books could include “drawings” of the subject by using a sort of wire-frame cinematic shot with a hand drawn effect over a background that looks like old paper.
