Amusing filename quirk: the Booklet file is named Solo Toolkit Booklet.pdf.pdf (.pdf twice)

BTW, I really appreciate there being a Booklet version! I like the idea of pocketmods, but my not-so-young-anymore eyes have trouble dealing with their tiny text.

I think it’s Free Troika Quickstart Rules under “Demo” on the main page.

itch.io doesn’t seem to let Demo files also be Purchase files.

About how long do you expect it to take to play this?

(More to the point for my purposes, could it reasonably fit into 30-40 minutes?)

I appreciate that there’s a black&white version, but would it be feasible to have a version with no images behind the text at all? It would help with contrast.

Re: feats – on my campaign sheet, I’ve added checkboxes next to the Knowstones for the ones that need feats.

Maybe add the ribbon-badge icon there for those ones?

I might be overthinking this, I just like having “There are other requirements here” graphically represented.

Layout idea:

If you moved Channel above Loadbearer, you could mark all the “Requires [Ability]” with lines/arrows between their checkboxes.

Then again, that wouldn’t help with the Feat requirements. I checked if those could be lined up side-to-side with the pamphlet part-folded, but it doesn’t look feasible.

In the Human Clubs Consequence, are “human” and “dragon” accidentally swapped?

I saw this in the credits…

This game uses mechanics based off the Oracles Gasp, designed by René-Pier Deshaies-Gélinas of Fari RPGs.

…so I looked that up, and I see a Risk Oracle here: https://keeper.farirpgs.com/resources/fari-rpgs/breathless/the-oracles/

Reset also resetting my upgrades is counter-intuitive and senseless. Make it just reset the grid

I was only mildly surprised by the upgrade-reset, but I kinda wish a grid-upgrade would autoplay with the previous cells selected with more space around them.

Neat idea! A few notes:

Boat does not get recognized on 4x4 (or not when attached to the lower-left, I’m not sure which)
I don’t think the points-per-minute estimate should be affected by upgrade purchases: generally buying something should only increase PPM, but often it goes negative for a bit after buying something.

Wild guess: Affinity lets you declare a variable stroke-width patterns (probably not the right term), so it might be that?

I see the variations are identical between different instances of the same size, like perks/quirks/afflictions.

Thank you for including a printer-friendly version!
I don’t suppose you could upload a middle-ground version: same as the 2-page main version, but no background? For printing at home in color, but without needing to crop the white off the edges.

I still see Cairn_2E_Wardens_Guide_Spreads.pdf on this (player’s guide) game’s downloads, and not the players-guide spreads.

Edit: I sent you a tweet with a screenshot.

It looks like you mixed up the Player’s Guide & Warden’s Guide when uploading Spreads to each.

When upgrading with Attack=5, Defense=2(?), the attack option was visible but the Defense option was not.

Pressing 3 still let me upgrade defense.

Can I push a card from the Top 7 back into the deck?

Or can I only rearrange the Top 7 cards without pushing any of them out of the Top 7?

I too am wondering what all the blanks are in there for – leaving yourself room for expansion? “Unchanged Starforged asset goes here”? Something else?

I’m not actually in the bundle (I don’t really have anything to contribute), but two questions:

Do you have any contacts at MAP? I wonder if they’re taking a while to respond to questions from itch.
Just curious, is the expected bundle end-date still the end of the month, or do you anticipate it moving out a bit at this point?

I’ve downloaded this, but haven’t read it yet.

Suggestion: consider using a common prefix for all the game’s downloads? Otherwise, BA_ChSheet and BlackAcre_42 might not be next to each other in an alphabetical Downloads folder.

How would you feel about a player-made online, mobile-friendly character sheet & die-roller? And maybe a bit of a noob-card for the basic game loop, page references, etc.

(I haven’t made anything yet. KS backer, I finally started reading it tonight and started thinking about streamlining the record keeping)

(I also thought about map-handling, partly because I forgot to print a map sheet, but that would be a much bigger lift; would be a separate question later)

I mostly ask because it would include the equipment/perk/etc. tables, kinda like Datasworn & Dataforged, and I wouldn’t presume to release something like that without your blessing or a CC license)

The “ZINE” files seem like they were booklet-printed… twice. Or booklet-ordered and then exported as Spreads?

Like, page 2 of the PDF has pages 1,14,13,2 all in a row.
