Post your mechanical questions about our space opera setting here. Characters should go in Wheel of Life and games in Games and Campaigns.
No. In other words, I actually have a day job, and so didn't have anything written yet. I had hoped to chill out and discuss it with you last night...
Burning Sands, Jihad is our latest addition to the BW canon. It's 80 pages of sci-fi space opera goodness. Brutal, belief-driven and cool as hell. ...
We had a really kick-ass World Burning session last night, in preparation of our Nobles game. I figured I'd put all our concepts here. Everything is...
I feel bad for waiting so long to post this actual play. Because it's been a long while since our last session, it will be shorter on detail than...
Wow, totally hot session tonight! Sadly, lil' Rich couldn't make it as work was especially demanding tonight. :( Since Rich's character is...
Initial thoughts: 1. From a pure player protagonization standpoint, I think we need to reevaluate Atoning for Weakness in the Eyes of God. We had an...
I was re-reading through Burning Sands a few days ago and noticed that both the mid-sized shuttle and the frigate have shields and lasguns (and/or...
Any have a set a generic NPCs burnt up for Jihad?
Hello! I have finished reading of Propaganda section and I still don't know one thing - can circled NPCs roll for maneuvers, or is it restricted ...

It's good to hear that you don't need to have read deeply into the book series to understand BS:J. I was partway through Dune: Messiah when the...
Dune's hot stuff. People are always trying to adapt it for their RPG of choice. Actually, per the advice given in other forums, I checked out...
Hi! Some lifepaths (ie the Noble Born) have two sets of skill points: General & Specific. For instance, in the Born Noble LP it states X ammount...

Ok, I LOVE what you guys have done here. I just need help on translating some of your terminology so that I have a handle on what's what. Do all of...
Easy question to anyone who deals with this in game. We're playing a cyberpunk game so the majority of combat is done via handguns. My question...
So I'm gearing up to start a Burning Sands campaign in a couple weeks, and one the players has been talking about playing a Face Dancer. So I'm...
Would BS:J work if, instead of defending or attacking a planet, the PCs were defending or attacking a warren, and they were all rabbits? I'm...
Hi, I just printed Jihad and while the setting in itself is intriquing and all that I was wondering how well it would work in a period before...

Okay, in the Burning Sands campaign I'm setting up, the players have opted for nobles, and they want to play a black-sheep family of nobles bred as...
Okay, I think I know what element of Burning Sands corresponds to what element of the Dune books. With one exception: "The 9". (That is a numeral...
Just curious if anyone has played a campaign as the Jihadis. I see Judd put them into his one-shot, but no reports of anyone playing Jihadis over a...
I'm a little confused by a couple of nuances of using BS:J shields in Fight. If someone could shed some light on these, I would be grateful. The...
