Warrior, Rogue & Mage

What is WR&M?
Warrior, Rogue & Mage is a simple, lightweight roleplaying game that allows a group of players and a game master to experience epic adventures in a fantasy world filled with wondrous magic.

No Classes
Although WR&M uses three basic fantasy RPG classes in its name, it doesn't make use of classes. Players are encouraged to create their characters freely without having to fit them into archetypal roles. Warrior, Rogue and Mage are actually the character's basic attributes, which measure their capabilities in combat, stealth and academics respectively.

I am glad you enjoy the game! I usually improvise adventures myself, so I have no written ones you can download. Sorry.

Do you wonderful folks have any interest in continuing with WR&M supplements? It’s the primary system in our household now, and we’ve adapted it for other genres; science fiction, translations of other systems, you name it.

If you lack the time to compose material but are willing to skim through notes, I’d love some feed back too!

Currently no additional supplements are planned. But feel free to share your ideas on the forums.

didn’t these used to be on Drivethrurpg? If not, why not put them up there?
ANd, have you thought about making 1 big book (you’ve got 108 pages there, so a 100-ish page document would work) and then making it available for print on demand?

I’d definitely buy the a POD of this.

@johnkzin: Regarding DriveThruRPG: http://www.stargazergames.eu/2012/04/19/important-announcement/

Regarding making it one big book: That’s not as easy as it sounds, this I have to do a complete new layout, rewrite a few things etc. And at this moment I don’t have the time to do something like this. Sorry.

Since I say this game I felt in love with it, it’s easy to understand and easy to teach, planing on staring a campaign soon with my friends on Puerto Rico. Thanks for making a great game.

We’ve started playing WRM, and came across some confusion last night around touch spells. The rules don’t seem to indicate whether touch spells assume a roll to hit, ala D&D, or whether the only roll required is the casting roll itself.

Did you have a specific approach in mind for those when you wrote these rules?

At the moment our GM settled on a roll to hit using Mage vs Armour. I’m more inclined to do Mage vs. base defense, but was curious what your thoughts would be.

The touch spells are actually an oversight on my part. If I ever do a 2nd edition I’ll need to clarify how making a touch attack works.
The way I’d do it right now would be to let the caster make a casting roll to activate the spell. After that a roll Mage vs. base defense is needed to touch the target and release the spell. If the touch attack was not successful the spell is not lost and you can try again next turn. You don’t need to roll Mage vs. base defense if the target is unaware of the attack.

Okay. Lines up with my thoughts, which is a nice bonus. Thanks for the speedy reply.

I found an old 4 page version from 2010 and immediately made up a google docs character generator. This evening i found the updated version and began printing it. You design some good stuff there. I appreciate the effort. I play the fantasy trip/melee/wizard alot and find this a good alternative. Ill keep you posted on my play progress. Thanks again!
