Maybe I need an example of a day or two’s worth of play.

So far, I’ve filled out my play sheet as follows:

World = 0, Demiurge WP = 150 Class: Knight, Level 1

Now, I am treating the Dice Pools/Dice/Drops Drawn rows as a single day each.

So the first line I dated 10/18/2025 (or 2025-10-18 if you prefer), and in the Dice Pools column I wrote “1d10”, and in the Dice column I wrote “d10”, and after rolling the d10, I got a 5, decided not to use the knight’s ability to reroll, and so I wrote “5” in the Drops Drawn column for that row.

Then, I decided to go shopping with that 5. I got myself a Mace Mouse from the Guild of Heero’s for 5 drops, which I noted in the Notes section with today’s date as well.

And then I wrote in the Dice Pools for the next row: “10/19/2025, “1d10, 1d3”, “d10, d3”, and blank for Drops Drawn because that’s for tomorrow, when I roll both a d10 and a d3 to find out how many drops I draw from the Demiurge.

At this point, I should have 0 Blood Drops again because I spent them all, and the Demiurge WP is still 150 because having spent the drops I did have, they go back into the WP.

Does this sound like I am using the game sheets correctly for this first day’s worth of play?

You can use the sheets however feels best for you, but your current approach might become overwhelming after playing for a bit.

What I’d recommend is using a row for each dice pool (or parts of a pool even, if the pool has a lot of different dice).

So currently you would have one row for your class (Knight, d10) and one for your allies (Mouse, d3). Tomorrow you can roll each and write their results in the “Drops Drawn” column before totalling them and adding that sum to your Blood Drops. Then erasing everything from the “Drops Drawn” column ready for the next day.

This way you’re only adding new rows when you acquire new dice pools, and only changing their details as you upgrade the pools.

Ah, great. That makes sense.

I will definitely need to invest in good quality erasers.

Day 2, I have rolled a 7 and a 2 for a total of 9 Blood Drops. The Demiurge WP is now 141. And I’ll figure out what to shop for later today.

And whether or not to roll for the Wandering Emporium, which I understand I only find if today’s d60 roll would be 19, for instance. If I do find it, and I make a stranger laugh, I would add a permanent d5 to a Notions row under Dice Pools?

Thank you!
