congratulations for this fantastic product. The quality is incredibly high (insanely high if you consider that it's a free product!).
If you want it, I make myself available to translate in italian to make it playable in that language too: the Character Sheet, Oracles Reference, Moves Reference, Asset Cards and Truth Sheet (in order). The Book it's too much for the time I have a disposal : D
Hello! Small question. For the Familiar power Asset, it says when you drain a small animal it becomes your familiar. Does that mean you can only take this power if you also have the Animal Drinker nature Asset which is needed to drink blood from animals from what I read?
I found some typos and wrote down two or three thoughts I had while reading. I put them below. Please know, that they are no critique whatsoever, just some thoughts I had and that I’d like to share.
“She queen also names a keeper for each one of them” p. 62
Page 60 “, basing they hierarchy on the city and its ruler, the queen.”
Page 65 “Astake”.
Page 33 says gain +1 focus on Weak hit, Face Danger move does not say so on p. 44.
What is the stat for the healing action role? p. 34
Character creation is at the beginning, but Lineages change the rules for the creation. That came a bit surprising.
Link inciting incident on page 29.
Thanks again for the fun I’m having with this!
P.S. Oh, And I’d love to have a table of content in the moves reference. That would speed things a bit, especially in the beginning.
P.P.S. “, you gain experience ponts per”, p. 39.
P.P.P.S. The Form a Bond move on p. 52 says, earn XP according to rank, but then lists ticks and boxes as if it were a progress track. Shouldn’t XP be earned in whole points?
I'll fix the typos as soon as my day job lets me, and I'll consider building a Moves table of contents in the next update — it's very reasonable, and I'm grateful for your idea.
Also, it always makes me glad to know someone else is having fun with my little game.
I am planning to have some lore related stuff be translated or take form of an asset, such as connection to people, influence, places or specific items.
Do we still have to spend 3 exp to get them or do the character obtain them when they do obtain them?
I'm bad at judging if something is too OP or not so another opinion would be a really big help for me.
For example, you can't just "learn" to be a Gunslinger out of the blue, you also must frame it fictionally: the character trains hard by herself with a gun, or is taught by someone else, your call — it just has to make sense inside the story.
If I were you, I'd write specific conditions for buying the asset, like "this asset can only be chosen when you gather information about X", or something along these lines.
I've been itching to play WoD/CoD games for many years, but I can't find a group to play with.
Elegy is an absolute blessing, and I can't wait to properly sink my teeth (sorry :p) into the game.
Thank you so much for creating this fantastic game.
**If anybody is interested in giving some of the other WoD games (Mage, Geist, Werewolf, whatever) the Elegy/Ironsworn treatment, reach out and maybe we can collaborate :)

Hello Moro,
congratulations for this fantastic product. The quality is incredibly high (insanely high if you consider that it's a free product!).

What do you think?
Hello, fellow neo-latin native speaker!
I'm up to it.
Check my contacts on the second page of the PDF and reach me however you like.
Awesome, I wrote you an email : )
Hello! Small question. For the Familiar power Asset, it says when you drain a small animal it becomes your familiar. Does that mean you can only take this power if you also have the Animal Drinker nature Asset which is needed to drink blood from animals from what I read?
Animal Drinker is unrequired. You may drain animals anyway you come up with (letting them bleed to death, for example).
Hi Moro!
I had my first read-through. Great Game!
I found some typos and wrote down two or three thoughts I had while reading. I put them below. Please know, that they are no critique whatsoever, just some thoughts I had and that I’d like to share.

Hi, I have a question about custom assets.
I am planning to have some lore related stuff be translated or take form of an asset, such as connection to people, influence, places or specific items.
Do we still have to spend 3 exp to get them or do the character obtain them when they do obtain them?
I'm bad at judging if something is too OP or not so another opinion would be a really big help for me.
Acquiring assets requires two things:
For example, you can't just "learn" to be a Gunslinger out of the blue, you also must frame it fictionally: the character trains hard by herself with a gun, or is taught by someone else, your call — it just has to make sense inside the story.
If I were you, I'd write specific conditions for buying the asset, like "this asset can only be chosen when you gather information about X", or something along these lines.
Good luck!
Ah that makes more sense, thank you.
If you want to create your on assets, have a look at https://effortlessmountain.github.io/ironsworn-asset-workbench/assets/new. It makes creating the cards a breeze. (Not my project.)
Hi Moro!
The link to Elegy Light in the announcement is dead. Is it not available any more?
Elegy Lite didn't die, it became what Elegy is today. The liteness was centered around the one-size-fits-all Action Roll.
Originally, Elegy had as many moves as Starforged. Now, moves are an optional rule.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation!
I downloaded Elegy and skimmed through. Great stuff! Looking forward to a read-through on the weekend.
I hope you have a blast!
I do!
Looks amazing, but I’m a bit confused by both Awe and Lore Keeper. They have “+1 forward” listed as effects. Did you mean “+1 focus” on those?
+1 forward means +1 in the next related action.
Wow! You did such a great work here... Thank you very much!
You're welcome!

A labor of love. Amazing work, Mircale M!
You combine the mechanics of Ironsworn and VtM really well.
Thank you so much!
On a skim this looks like a great adaptation of the Starforged rules (and that's coming from a diehard werewolf enthusiast)!
