Hello! Iā€™ve been eyeing this game for a while and decided today is the day. I have a job where Iā€™m away a lot and was hoping to find something to play in the evenings when Iā€™m away from home. The price seemed a little high (which is why I didnā€™t purchase sooner) but now I understand why. There is so much to this game!

I havenā€™t started yet but Iā€™ve been reading and rereading the rules and had a couple questions:

Is there going to be any kind of rule cheat-sheet or quick start guide? It would be really helpful to have a summary of all of the steps with page numbers laid out for quick referencing.

This is more of a me issue, but is there another way to resolve things without using the fate system? I try and travel as light as possible and so far with solo rpgs have been able to get away with using a cards app on my phone for games that require drawing cards. This is the first time Iā€™ve encountered having to use the discarded cards and Iā€™m not sure how to proceed. 

If you have any advice or suggestions Iā€™d love to hear them. It might just be that I have to start packing cards with me, which is ok. Iā€™m away right now working on a research vessel and canā€™t get to a store for a couple of weeks so I may also have to wait to start playing.

From what Iā€™ve read and seen so far itā€™s a beautiful game. Looking forward to giving it a try, and seeing what you come out with next.

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and for choosing our game! Weā€™re thrilled to have you on board.

Regarding your questions:

Rule Cheat-Sheet or Quick Start Guide: We appreciate your feedback, and there isnā€™t an official cheat sheet. You can find a summary of all the gameā€™s actions conveniently laid out in the rulebook from pages 86 to 168. This section should assist you in navigating the game more smoothly. The quick start equivalent can be found in pg.4. And we are trying to create a cheat sheet but it is not feasible for now due to the amount of content from pg 86 to 168.

Alternative to the Fate System: We understand travelling might not be an ideal situation to keep a deck of cards. Instead of packing physical cards, you can use virtual dice, which can be a practical solution. Hereā€™s a breakdown of how to use them:

d4: Use this when you need to roll for the suitā€™s rank.

d5 (Fate Draw - Simple): Use this for a simpler session. Assign numbers 1-5 as Critical Failure to Critical Success.

3d13 to emulate Fate Draw - you can also use other dice setup such as 3d12 and experiment (Complex): We recommend you to use a 3d13 setup. Assign 2 dice as your base range. The higher die result is the upper base range, and the lower die result is the lower base range. Then, assign 1 die as your Fate Roll. Roll your Base first and then roll your Fate Roll die. Apply the result accordingly.

d52 or d13: You can use these for oracles or tables that require you to draw a card from the main deck. If itā€™s hard to keep track using the d52. Use a d4 to determine the suit and then use d13 to determine the number.

This approach allows you to play the game without relying on the fate systemā€™s discard pile, offering a different but still random gaming experience.

You can use this website or download an app on your phone with it: https://rolladie.net/roll-a-d13-die#!numbers=1&high=52&length=1&sets=&addfilters=&last_roll_only=false&totals_only=false https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rolladie.diceapp&utm_source=global_co&utm_medium=prtnr&utm_content=Mar2515&utm_campaign=PartBadge&pcampaignid=MKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1
