Demeanors Card Set (for Ironsworn & Starforged)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Denote your character's personality and be rewarded when roleplaying them

This set comprises 36 demeanor cards, each representing archetypical personality types. Using them lets you detail your character and give them depth and a unique feel. Playing with a demeanor will also serve as a compass and incentive to roleplay as appropriate to the narrative, and be mechanically rewarded by doing so.


The premise

Your demeanor answers to how I interact with the world.

Each demeanor is composed of the virtue, the vice, and the buyoff.

  • When you act aided by your virtue, you add +1 to your roll when implementing your demeanor into the description of your action.
  • When you use your vice to get into trouble by paying a great narrative cost, you take up to your momentum maximum.
  • When you act contrary to your demeanor as per its buyoff, you discard it and take +5 momentum.

Further insight is given about the composition of the cards and how to use them in other roleplaying game systems.


System-agnostic

The Demeanors Card Set comes with universal guidelines to be used in any tabletop roleplaying game system.

I don't understand how momentum maximum works. In Ironsworn would I add 10 to a roll? Or increase my momentum to 10?

If the prompt tells you to "take up to your momentum maximum", it means you take +momentum up to its maximum, naturally, 10.

In the Ironsworn ruleset, "when you have positive momentum, after you roll your move, you may cancel any challenge dice that are less than your current momentum value. This gives you an automatic hit."

In the Ironsworn: Starforged ruleset, "when you have positive momentum, after you make an action roll, you may replace your action score with your current momentum value to improve your result."

Either way works.

In what way does this differ from Motivations?

Hi, Eric.

Motivations define drives and grant +momentum according to how intensely you act to fulfill them. They answer to "what are my interests?"

Demeanors define personality inclinations and add +1 when making a roll by playing them in your favor; when using them against you by paying a great narrative cost, they grant up to your momentum maximum. They answer to "how do I interact with the world?"

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
