Saving Throes # 97 - First Forays: Adventurer Conqueror King System

Red Rooster

Welcome to the Saving Throes podcast! This is my Tabletop role-playing game podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a topic or theme along with my take on current happenings in the world of tabletop role-playing games and semi regular updates on the games I am currently involved with, or new games or products I have come across.

This week I am finally diving into a game that I have wanted to talk about for a long time! The Adventurer Conqueror King System (or ACKS for short) really shook things up in the OSR by providing a game that not only fully embraced high level domain gameplay, but also excelled at it and made it feel like it was so easy all along. Alexander Macris' game is really something to behold, whether you will play it whole cloth or mine it for it's many useful subsystems and rules for domain level play, you are likely to find something that will elevate your game in here either way. Tune in to hear my thoughts on this first edition of the game and the bits of it that got me really excited as I read it.
