I haven't used foundry in a while, so I can't quite attest if that works, sorry!

That's so nice to hear, thank you! I'm really pleased with how the 'write down the roles' thing came out. I like having big twisty gimmicks in my modules. As for layout - I've only started doing layout myself recently (and my skills have a long way to go), so I'm already surprised it hit as well as it did. So yeah, thanks for the kind words and the review!

I'm so happy to hear that!

Sometimes, creating a sick mission is as simple as adding skeletons and doppelgängers. The idea of stacking parameters is also really cool!

I love how the Prime Directive dynamic is overlayed - really makes the Island a character in and off itself. Mixed with the NPC motivations, it's a really inspiring sandbox!

The layout and presentation is absolutely stunning. However, what's remarkable is that the text is at least as evocative, with really creative use of FIST mechanics. Amazing work overall!

That's amazing to hear, thanks for the comment!

I anticipate releasing the base rules under CC-BY! It's not finalized yet as it's still the work in progress version, but that's what I'm leaning towards, at the moment :)

Those are listed in the files!

• The complete pdf (that you can get printed yourself)
  
• Lightweight PDF
• Career/Skill Reference Sheet
• Rival Adventurer Generator
• Coin Price List reference
• Career guide to share with players when making characters
• Player reference document for the rule

I sent you an email on the 19th of January - maybe check your spam folder?

Lulu does not give me the option to give discounts. If I were you, I'd Google a local print shop that also does books/thesis documents, and have it printed there. The only thing you'd miss is the back blurb 😊

Hey there! Purchasing the PDF allows you to print what is essentially the Lulu version yourself (it's the same file, minus the cover).

I used the default Black Hack rules!

Thank you so much!

Yes, it's linked under the free files!

Thought was put into which weapons have which properties, but the idea of “balance”/“overpowered” is a bit antithetical to BDP’s entire design.

Sure, it’s flashy in combat, but it might also means foes won’t risk taking you alive anymore, and villagers fleeing from your terrifying reputation.

I can’t get over how efficient, slick, well-written this is. It’s like I have 5 goblins in my head sitting at a table, arguing about how to best flesh out various ideas, when a 6th comes in holding this document, slams it on the table and just starts aggressively pointing at it.

Sure! If you post the final result online, I can link to it, too!

You can also shoot me an e-mail on larshuijbregts@gmail.com - I just need to be able to directly send you something :)

Hey there, thank you for your purchase! I’ve endeavored to make the PDF/digital edition its own value-for-money; it includes essentially the same file that Lulu uses for printing, and a bunch of extras - as opposed to the Lulu version, which has a low markup for both sizes.

That being said: reach out to me on discord or Bluesky, and I can see what I can do!

This is a very, very big download, so I figured, for those curious, I’d write down a bit about what’s inside, following the primary folder structure. I by no means mean to disparage the effort that went into collecting this; I’m just trying to contextualize the utility for other people like me.

• Art: Various images. Not very big, not super useful.
• Battle Maps: A big selection of maps, sorted by theme. Quality/usability varies, but overall, likely to have something useful.
• Character Manager: Didn’t open this, separate zip with what I think is a Dark Heresy/Only War character sheet tool.
• Character Sheets: PDFs for Black Crusade.
• Fonts: Typefaces commonly used in 40k stuff.
• Gameplay Reference: Excel files containing weapons/equipment for the FFG games.
• Graphics: A big collection of various images. Some seem to be files used in programs, like HUD elements. The Ship Graphics list is cool/extensive. There’s also some useful templates for dataslates.
• Handouts: Various images that mostly serve as inspiration, as they seem to be made for specific adventures.
• Hive Maps: A few variations/big photoshop files of the same hive image; I think you can overlay your own images?
• Org Charts: A few charts that lay out the Imperium’s structures, which can definitely be useful.
• Planetary Maps: 2 examples on how to make sleek, relatively minimal hex maps for planets, and Photoshop/Paint.net templates.
• Props: Big collection of PNGs that can be used on maps. Pretty good quality, pretty big selection. Mostly assets from deZigner, as far as I can tell.
• Space Maps: Various sector/space maps
• Tokens: Big variation of tokens, for every faction imaginable. Top-down, circle-stamped, and deZigner.
• World Maps: Example of how to make a planet map (single image)

Thank you for the nice comment! I wrote all these modules so fast after each other, that I’ve forgotten most of the contents myself. Your comment made me go back and read it, and go, “well damn, that IS solid work”.

Thank you so much! I love the framework you laid out - the rest honestly wrote itself!

Yesss, I just did so!

Thank you, glad you like it!

Thank you!

Oops, you’re right, fixing that!

If anything, it’s really topical!

A discount for the print version? I’m currently not planning on it.

The markup on the print version is already quite low. Printing is, simply put, not very cheap in this day and age.

The PDF (on Itch) can also be printed by anyone who wants to, and includes the additional bonuses/digital tools and such I’ve released over the years, so I feel like that’s fair value. Anyone who purchased an earlier edition/version automatically has full access to the current full release PDF.

It is! I’ll say that I find the A4 font size quite big, and the A5 font size a liiiitle on the small side, but not extremely so. That is to say; it’s not a normal A4 font size shrunken down.

I’m awaiting my test copies from Lulu - if those are good, I’ll open the PoD!

Since both use Cairn as the template, the overall compatibility is quite high! You can check out the SRD for edition 1.32 for a general idea of the contents :)

❤️ Thank you!

On behalf of the entire team (which is just me), thank you very much!

This one came first, and is a bit more of a lineair/narrative approach. HARD DROP is more open ended/hexcrawl based.

I didn’t do that on accident - as to whether it makes complete sense, I’m not sure yet either. The HTML file is a bit fancier (imo), so I figured I’d put that behind the purchase. The PDF does showcase a bit more about what BDP is about :D

Thank you!

1. Yes, initiative/DEX is rolled each round!
2. Sure! That would likely require quite a bit of Fatigue, so it's not like it's something you're pulling off all the time. It sounds like really burning up some reserves to perform a very impressive feat - which I think is balanced!
