Hi there! Sorry, I don't have a notion template for Befallen. 

I hope you have so much fun with your forge witch!

Thank you for the heads up!

Turns out that the latest inDesign update broke the Table of Contents and Bookmarks. I fixed it all and reuploaded the file. If you download it again, you should see everything back where it belongs. 

Regaring the Cultist, I hadn't updated it, because I had the thought that cultists are used to acting in groups so they would work a bit better as a team. But I did some combat testing and it was a little above the curve compared to the new group rules, so I toned it down a bit and added a note that they use different rules than the standard. But of course you can always use the new standard group rules if you want. :)

Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your very kind words.

If you do decide to publish content of your own for the game, please let me know. I'd love to play through it! 

Hi there! I added a couple more community keys. If you like the game, please drop it a rating. :)

For sure.  The main goal is to find clues that help to resolve your Obsession (the main goal you set for your character during character creation). So the game loop is:

• Travel to a settlement
• Complete short quests to gain resources (this is money or goods you can trade to buy equipment, pay for living expenses and gain supplies to cast Hedge Magic)
• Resolve the Plot (this is a main problem that's happening in the city or town - something like doors to endless hallways appearing around the town). When you resolve the Plot, you'll get some clues to completing your obsession.
• Then travel to another settlement, where you'll do it again with new quests and plots, and investigate the rumors from the previous settlement to see if they are true. 

You'll encounter the Corrupting Powers throughout this process. Once you've encountered one, they mark you, increasing your chances of being corrupted by them, but also giving you the opportunity to corrupt yourself further in return for turning a failed roll into a success. Higher corruption levels unlock special abilities from those powers, but put you in danger of losing yourself to them. 

You'll start with skills and a starter ability from your class, but as you finish quests and plots, you'll gain skill points to spend on more skills and abilities. There is some basic equipment classes you can choose from (light armor vs heavy armor, etc.), but the magic items are tied to these Corrupting Powers. 

As for Journalling vs. Crunchy, you can play this game entirely without journaling if you want, though I tend to play it with some light journaling. The pregenerated settlements tell you what the problem is and what limitations you have, then you choose what to do about things and how you want to tackle the problem. 

Hopefully this helps! Happy to answer any more questions you have. 

Hi there!

Hi There!

I'm not aware of any youtube playthroughs of the game, but there was some chat about the game on Reddit closer to the release date and there are some reviews on the drive thru page: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/339514/Utopia

I always add a few community copies of the game up at the end of the month, based on how many sales were made, so if you're unsure about GMless games or just want to give the game a try and see if it's for you, feel free to grab one of the community copies to try it out. I'm adding the community copies for this month today.

If you like the game and want to throw me a couple dollars, you can always purchase a copy later, or there are physical copies available through DriveThruRPG.

I post more community copies near the end of each month, based on the number of copies sold. I posted this months drop a little early so you can grab one. If you miss it, more should be available at the end of next month.
