Tales of the Iron Lich

The skull of the Iron Lich with a dead star's light in their eye sockets. 

As created on Midjourney with the terms: skull of the iron lich in the style of raymond Swanland + ornate + highly detailed + concept art

My friend Judd posted a premise about The Iron Lich. He’s going to run a few sessions. I will run sessions with a different group and different game systems. Then we’ll get on the podcast to talk about our games. Afterward, we’ll play our own sessions against the Iron Lich. So this month’s one-shot is Troika: In the tombs of the Iron Lich. I’d eventually like to run this premise with other game systems.

Troika is billed out as a rules-light, science-fantasy RPG. I know it gets a lot of indie game love, so I want to get it to the table and see what’s what.

Tales from the old lands speak of the Iron Lich and their manufactured tombs. There has been a strange construct found just south of your town in the Starfall Hills. A scouting party sent a week ago has yet to return with news.

28 Aug 11:00 AM EST Troika - In the Tombs of the Iron Lich.
