# Ironsworn: Bronzebound tags: #game/rpg/ironsworn-bronzebound ![[Bronzebound (cover).jpg]] **Ironsworn: Bronzebound** is an unofficial fan-made supplement for Ironsworn that transports players to a Bronze Age setting inspired by epic poems like _The Odyssey_ and _The Iliad_. Think heroes, monsters, and meddling gods – but with more dice rolls and fewer hexameters. ## Core Mechanic Ironsworn uses a unique dice-rolling system that combines 2d6 with a d10. Players roll these dice to determine the outcome of their actions, adding relevant stat modifiers and bonuses. The d10 adds a narrative flair, introducing unpredictable elements and complications based on its result. For example, let's say our mighty hero, Achilles 2.0, wants to intimidate a cyclopean bully guarding a sacred cheese cave. He rolls his 2d6, adds his Iron stat, and throws in a bonus for his impressive physique. But then, the dreaded d10 rolls a "10," introducing a twist – the cyclops's even bigger, meaner brother shows up, adding another layer of complication to our hero's cheesy quest. ## Changes Between Editions **Ironsworn: Bronzebound** is a supplement, not a full game, so it doesn't have different editions. It builds upon the core Ironsworn rules, adding thematic elements and flavor to create a Bronze Age experience. ## References - [Ironsworn - Bronzebound Download - itch.io](https://edsrlee.itch.io/bronzebound-an-ironsworn-origins-setting) - [Ironsworn RPG System - Official Website](https://tomkinpress.com/pages/ironsworn) - [Awesome Ironsworn - A Curated List of Ironsworn Resources - GitHub](https://github.com/Billiam/awesome-ironsworn)
