Ovviamente, molto bello 💜

PS: typo in Carnival 3.9.1 pag.47 primo titolo "trattativ"

PPS: a pag. 87 le tabelle chiamano "d10" ma ci sono solo 8 valori. Siccome è bello avere tanta scelta, io ti suggerisco di aggiungere:

• Fisico: Ordinario, Morbido
• Capelli: Acconciatura complessa, Raccolti
• Volto: Severo, Sereno
• Pelle: Diafana, Ambrata
• Vestiti: Pratici, Succinti
• Caratteristica: Un occhio bianco, Una voglia (questa è quella che soffre di più dall'avere poche voci, anche nel generatore si nota che diversi PG finiscono per avere la stessa, e la cosa può portare ilarità non voluta - io suggerisco di farne una tabella a parte con molte più caratteristiche, e magari insistere meno sui termini che, per dei personaggi del circo, che probabilmente vivevano delle loro abilità fisiche, possono risultare troppo estreme).

Se posso darti feedback: io scorporerei la creazione del personaggio dalle regole "generiche". La metterei all'inizio, seguita dai Tratti, dai Profili Tematici ecc. Poi, a seguire, le regole, gli esempi, e via con la parte del GM.

Page 18 still have a phrase in Portouguese (also, the filename of the maps are):
Ao ser derrotada, a criatura deixa para trás

Honestly, I feel that the original one is better. Maybe, it could be improved with:
"Quick character creation from random rolls"

The one you proposed is wrong, in English.

I saw an update days ago, but the files in Download are the same (~2024). Is that correct?

Niiiiiiiiiice! They are pretty variegated!

Hi! First thing first, great work on those additional stuff. I bought Mystic Marginalia minutes ago on Drivethru, very nice  collection of tables.

PS: may I give some feedback about the nice "New and Updated Handouts"? 

• A quick reference near the playbook or the teambook name could be interesting to hunt them down (for example, in the "Playbooks and Teambooks Menu", near Action Scientist you could put something like "SSK 8" (ie. Slayer's Survival Kit page 8).
• Some playbook in the Menu are missing from the Hunter Playbooks Consolidated, for example Hardcase, Exile, Meddling Kid, Sidekick, Summoned.

Pag. 19, text says Animal Companion (SMALL) or (LARGE), while statblocks say SMALL and MED.

Fantastic, go on with it! I think they are a really good exercise for you, something like a daily speed-painting, from what I can suppose.

Nice!

Hi! In the Playbook file:
- The first playbook has "signature gear" written differently than the other ones.
- The second one, Beacon, has the Playbook Gear misplaced, so the text goes on the graphic below. Also, "How could I find ____ ?" is written differently than the other ones.
- The Scrapper's Tech Belt has the text overflowing the graphic below.

Mamma che bello. Grazie! 
MORALE ALTO (quando sono tanti), MORALE BASSO (quando restano soli) - questo è un documentario, non è un gioco.

E come sempre... meglio porco che fascista! 🐷❤️🛩️

Nice!

If there's a survey about the choice of fonts, I'll vote for replacing the usual (almost unreadable) Werbedeutsch font (or clone one). IMHO you can still keep the "medieval" look even with a more friendly font. For example, from Googel Fonts, let's say BOKOR, or PIRATA ONE, GRENZE GOTISCH maybe.

Impressive package!

Nice work!

This is really nice, and totally in the spirit of the source videogame. I think it's fantastic doing back-tracking, rolling for extra encounters in the previously visited room. So the past room aren't turn "empty" after the first visit, but they are enriched by following exploration and journey.

I didn't find the definition for Damage Advantage / Disadvantage. Is that rolling 2 time the damage die, then keeping the best / worst?

Ma allora rimpicciolisci leggermente tutto allo stesso livello 🤣 altrimenti quelli ossessivi compulsivi come me vanno via di testa 🤣

Immagine EPICA (PS mi pare ci siano grandezze di font diverse per i vari paragrafi)

Comprensibile. Anche se personalmente non condivido il pessimismo che sembra trasparire dal commento.

Non crei un gioco per poi lamentarti del fatto che lo scaricano in cinque. Crei un gioco perché hai la necessità di comunicare qualcosa al tuo gruppo, e soprattutto al mondo, quando lo rilasci liberamente su portali come questo. Se quel gioco ha qualcosa da dire, risuonerà in altri e verrà giocato o condiviso.

Sicuramente, oggi c'è una sovrabbondanza di materiale, in un hobby che è già molto di nicchia, ma non vedo questo come un difetto o un problema. Qui non stiamo costruendo un prodotto che deve rendere; stiamo facendo qualcosa di bello che ci piace.

Per concludere, se mi permettete, vi suggerisco di non rispondere ogni volta in modo pessimistico, sbrigativo e respingente. Io continuerò, così come faccio per ogni singolo gioco che compro/scarico e leggo, a dare feedback e proof-reading. Se saranno utili, e se in futuro avrete voglia di rimettere mano ai documenti, meglio. In caso contrario, nessun problema. 

Kudos per il vostro lavoro e soprattutto per le epiche guide ai giocatori e al GM.

Bravi! Bella iniziativa e ambientazione originale.

Layout e scelta dei font un po' da rivedere, a mio modesto parere. Infine, qualche errore facile da sistemare (vedi ad esempio le tabelle tutte in grassetto a pagina 161-162).

Ok, I understand. Surely, "unwind" communicates unroll, relax, loosen up etc. In the Italian version, we had a flatter translation, which I could re-translate in "Describe how the fiction provides you with an opportunity to recover".

That generic "recover", coupled with the apparently very short-timed actions (take a pill, turn up the volume, punch the wall...) suggests the idea that you simply need a cool cutaway/flash-cut of just a couple of seconds, in which your hero, cornered, takes a painkiller and shouts a one-liner before running back into the enemies; or the chased driver puts his favorite song on the car-audio system, turns up the volume, before attempting a dangerous stunt etc.

I think that it's very easy to misunderstand the idea behind those rules (also, they are so compressed... 😁). The game can heavily change its whole tone based on the interpretation of that single phrase.

Clearly, the previous "Once per run" gives a very precise instruction on how much Stress you can hope to recover in the whole mission.

On the contrary, removing the limit and implying that you only need a quick flash-cut action make it seems as though the heroes have an almost infinite quantity of Stress at their disposal.

Apparently, though, the "standard" behaviour seems to be related less to a hard limit and more to the availability of a downtime scene (either because there's time for it, or because the party actively works to create an opportunity for it).

🫂 from a friend that has three rescues saved from life in a shelter, three problematic dogs that no one else wanted. They are older now, but I hope they'll stay with me for a few more years ...

Logoro, Penny and Mou send their love to Cy!

First of all, thanks for the attention.

Then, yeah, I like the latter proposal (it reminds me the core mechanic on which the Breathless ruleset is built).

However, in my pamphlet physical Augmented version I have no "Once per Run" text... I have to say that (sadly) I chose to buy the Italian version, however I feel somewhat baffled 'cause there are several typos and bad choices for the translation. I'd need to compare it closely to the english version, but I don't want to "buy it again"... :(

EDIT: I'm also checking online text here: https://cbrpnk.cabinetofcuriosities.games/docs/en/runnerfile  But I can't find that part you mentioned; is that an older version of the rules?

Hi! I'm curious about the Take a Breather action. Of course, it's the main pacing mechanic of the game... but we have not much text to understand it deeply.

My biggest concern is: the examples provided picture this action like an easy/fast one (take a pill, turn up the volume, punch a wall...). Does it mean that the players could spam the move several times even in heated action scenes? 

Let's say a runner is behind a wall, pinned down by several sec guards shooting at him. Player describes the runner spitting, gritting his teeth, inhale a drug shot and... BAM! Can he activate the Take a Breather?  If it's "Yes, sure, do it" then I feel that there's almost no meaning for the whole Stress-related mechanics. That's doubly true if, seconds later on, he briefly remember tender moments with the lost loved one, and trigger the move again.

If the answer is "Well, no, you should do it sparingly, mainly in some sort of short intermission scenes between one action scene and another one", then I feel the text doesn't transmit the right requirements.

How do you use the Move? Is there an official take about it?

Hi! Is that white part on the left high third part of the page fixed/OK in the paid version?

L'immagine del ratto qui sopra è epica. Dovresti trovare il modo di metterla nell'avventura, magari trasformandola in una 2-pages adventure.

Whooops, I'm a moron. I was really too rushed in writing that message! I mean that (sadly!?) we have too many games to try; so, while conceptually I LOVE Sheperds (and its pillars, included the JRpG bits that you included), PROBABLY I'll never have the chance to play it with my groups... We have a whole spreadsheet full of titles we want to try (and "try" could fill months / years of real life), so I'm enjoying to simply read it. Also, I'm not a youngster anymore... In my darkest moments I start to mumbling about "how many RpGs/TV series/books that I love I will play until my mind turn to a stale old goo?" 

Again, I'm sorry I made you sad 💜

I'll probably never use the stuff, however I love that the money will go in donation, so, shut up and take my money. Have a great year, Michael. See you around here or on Reddit! 💜

This look REALLY rad. Very clean and curated presentation. I hope I'll have the chance to play with it, sooner or later...

Anyway, kudos 💜

Hi! I know, it's really a curiosity... However, in the text I read: "The AGENT is materialized with an avatar that mirrors their real body, armed with a semi-automatic revolver fitted with a corner-shot attachment."

Wow, semi-automatic revolvers are really unusual and (imho) unpractical. Also, the picture shown a standard semi-auto pistol like the usual Colt M1911, Sig Sauer P230 etc.

About the game. It feels interesting, I feel that could be even more interesting with slightly more structure and more table inspirations (a-la 24XX, maybe?). Anyway, thanks for your effort! 💜

The game seems nice. Thanks for the effort you put into it. I read the various (aparently) balanced and linked mechanics: they all seem to suggest a sort of tabletop studied mechanism built to give a specific experience at the table, but at the end I'm baffled by this:

"The spider will continue to grow and return until its power source is destroyed. The power source has no damage track; how long it takes to destroy is up to the GM. Do what works best for the narrative you have created!"

This part, IMHO, jeopardizes the whole rest of the mechanics, turning the whole game into a sort of railroaded play pulled by the string of the GM. I feel that it's a missed occasion to have an honest game that could have the play to fail, or succeed, thanks to the actions of the players and, of course, to some luck/unluck with the dice.

What do you think?

I love your effort for the community. 🫶

PS: in your file, in the first phrase about student creation, you should add "." or ":"

In the following page, under End of Mistery, correct "remove its weakness"

First things first: thank you. Man, I love the communities built around the games. Also, I love all the stuff that Richard Woolcock does, starting from his massive effort in the Savage Worlds community back in the day. He was like a virtual brother, in those far away days.

Now, about the file. If you accept feedback, I'm here for some typo:

- in the first tables, the titles are TALENTO and EFFETTO  🇮🇹💜

- one of the talents is called CopycaPt

- Infamous: reeeealLy

- Chaos Inoculation: a.  (remove the dot)

-Several commas have extra spaces before them; some sentences in the table are missing the final period "." 

- pag. 11: "the PC can one of the companion’s Perks" I suppose "use" or similar verb is missing.

- pag. 13: "Pick a Perk representing a limit or other form of weirdness" is that a Quirk, maybe?

- No comments about the general text or the choice of words. I know this is a work of love; there's no need to chase perfection.

Thanks for your work. PS: pag. 26 "Roll d20 to see what you" then probably the rest of the phrase is missing.

Nice!!

It looks very nice!
