Update Version 1.3 Released

Bots are Best
A downloadable Mini TTRPG

We're delighted to announce the release of the 1.3 update for Bots are Best! There are a few little tweaks and one major mechanical change around how skill checks work.

We made this change because after some more considerable play testing, as well as other player feedback, it was found it was just a little bit too hard to succeed on a skill check. This had knock-on effects on how items worked, so this has been tweaked too. While a major change on how a core mechanic works, the mechanic is still extremely simple and easy to pick up and understand - something we are very keen on preserving for this cute little system.

Full list of changes:

  • Now only need one success on a roll to succeed on most skill checks.
  • Added text to say that some challenges might require more than one success, if they are particularly bonkers or difficult.
  • Changed how items work. They now give an extra 3 dice to rolls, rather than one auto-success.
  • Removed "Re-Roll 10 on the horizontal dice!" from the deviation builder. This was left in erroneously, as it referrers to draft mechanics.
  • Fixed a typo in Enemy Health section, and fixed the formatting.
