Hello, thanks for trying our game!

"Will there be Aptitudes in a future update? (E.g. Mile, Turf, Front)"

A: We tried including aptitudes early in development but it resulted in unfair races. If a runner had a favourable aptitude for the current track it was certain that they would place well. This spoiled the results for both them and their opponents because everyone knew they would do well even before the race started.

We tried nerfing aptitudes, but unfrortunately in order for them to be fair we had to make them so weak that they might as well not exist at all.

For those reasons we decided not to include them, but don't let that stop you from homebrewing aptitudes in your games if you want to have them!

"Can the campaign be run with emulated training as an alternative for stats?"

A: The game master has the power to create rules and ignore any rule. With that in mind, you can totally increase the amount of training points it takes to max a stat from 240 to 1200 and grant your players training points when training with their partners. Having fun is the most important thing so do what you and your group think is most fun for your table!

And if it's a bit unbalanced ehhh who cares? Just adjust the rules and let your players know you've done so. No worries.

"How long is the limit on the Campaign, is it the first three years of the players careers?"

A: The training point system is currently balanced such that a runner will gain around 33 tiers over the course of 3 years. That's what we consider to be the standard in-game time frame for a campaign.

However, If you want your campaign to take place over a longer span of time, then I would suggest increasing the amount of training points needed to advance to the next tier. So, for example, instead of 20 it could be 40. That means that over the course of 3 in-game years, your players will gain around 15 tiers. 

You can adjust this number until you feel satisfied with the pacing of your game.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask!
