I really love the WOT setting, have reread the books multiple times, and would love to join some others in playing an RPG set in this world, either freeform or using an established ruleset. I am happy with either building a community or just having a classic adventuring party game, I'm not picky. PM me if interested!

I'd also be interested as a player, though I've only read the first three books in the series so far. I do own the Wheel of Time rpg (d20/3.0 from Wizards of the Coast), if that helps.

Make that three interested. Last two games of it ended rather early on sadly. Would love a chance to have a long term game in the setting.

I did enjoy the books when I was younger, though it has been pointed out later on in life that there are some 'issues' with some of it. The tv show is...interesting, though different than the books. The d20 RPg was...interesting, though everyone seemed to want either have powers or be Aiel the like...twice I tried playing in one.

Shrug, but if a game starts up, I'd be at least interested.

I'd be happy to run the introductory adventure in the Wheel of Time Role Playing game published in 1990: What Follows in Shadow

The rules are D&D 3.0 with minor variations to match the setting. The feel is very Old School. The details are based on the books rather than the current TV adaption on Amazon Prime (I'm going to watch it all, but it's not what I had hoped -- see my comments about this at the end of the post).

The Player Characters will all start as young (Level 1) visitors to Caemlyn at the time Rand al Thor arrives there and sneaks unwittingly into the tree above the royal gardens to catch a glimpse of the False Dragon. It is likely that the PC's are also there to see the False Dragon, but I will accept another explanation for their presence in the city at this time, as long as it makes sense in the context. The PC's do not know one another. It is quite by chance that they are all staying at the same inn on the outskirts of the city.
  • None of the PCs are residents of Caemlyn -- you all came from somewhere else (not the Ail Wastes!)
  • None of the PCs are Aes Sedai.
  • None of the PCs are Ogier.
  • None of the PC's are Aiel.
  • None of the PCs are Seanchan.



I will consider character submissions for Atha'an Miere or Tuatha'an, but there will be a higher bar for acceptance than more likely backgrounds.

The most likely classes for Player Characters include:

  • Armsmen (fighters)
  • Nobles (upper class, not aristocracy)
  • Wanderers (merchants, opportunists and entertainers -- by far the most likely class)
  • Wilders (female only, untrained in the use of the One Power but with some Weaves -- and frequent drawbacks)
  • Woodsmen (hunters and rangers)



Please note I have used male centric names for these classes, drawn from the source material, but they are all open to female characters. I will not be accepting male Wilders, however, as they bring along a slew of baggage with the Taint that I'm just not ready to address in this game.

In considering your character's homeland, I will require a very good explanation of why they are here if they do not come from:
  • Cairhien
  • Illian
  • Midlands: Andor*, Murandy, Ghealdan
  • Tair



* Emond's Field is in the far western reaches of Andor

The PCs are all fairly normal young people gathered in the city at a moment when historic events are unfolding.

While I am hoping the players will all have a certain background knowledge of the setting (it will take a long time to explain who Aes Sedai are if you don't know already, or Whitecloaks, Tinkers, etc.) I'm not expecting you to be walking Wikis. And my telling of the story may be subtly different from Mr. Jordan's. (Hey, if they can do it on TV, I can do it in my game!) If you read any of the books, you will be fine.

Here's the linK:
