itch.io

Hey I just ran this as a session 0.5 since one player missed session 1. It was great! I used it as a sort of “tutorial” scenario and it really does everything I could hope for a started adventure. Some highlights:

• I had to scramble and read it like 20 min before getting together and it was no problem, it reads very well although some bullet pointing might help it a bit in that department.
• The monsters ARE tough but totally fair.
• The creepy miniatures gathering on the table idea is freaking genius and my players loved it, it was VERY creepy. I also loved the little circle for watch-tracking, it replaced the one I crudely made myself in an instant haha.
• On that same note, it would be nice to have a separate print out with just the minis, I had to print the page with them several times to get more than 3. :p
• The hedge maze mini-game is ALSO freaking genius, we loved it, totally stealing that for the rest of the game.
• ABSOLUTELY LOVED the moral dilemma at the end, my players were locked in with the murderous fae waifu assasin gang and ended up destroying the relics after some serious conversation and badass roleplay. One of the players became a Witch of the Woods acolyte too!

So I would say it’s great except for some understandable errors like d6 tables being labeled d8 and such. I would also say this is on the longer side for one session but fits very sleekly for two sessions. We ended up playing for around 5 hours + character creation, and I did skipped/changed the catacombs part to make it shorter as it was getting late. Can probably run it just fine as a two-session adventure.

Thanks a lot! Great stuff.

why.is.this.so.good I love it! tysm!

LOL!

wow this pack is extremely good! it has it all! absolutely perfect for 1st sessions/one shots I adore it! Incredible and diverse art really good tysm

seeing the site down, I really hope you keep doing this, at least the art. It was extremely popular with my usuals!

loved the booklet-ifiable pdf! really excited for faction codices for this!

This was a beautiful experience, I got the true ending! (truly horrifying to wake up as the other one lmfao)

Excelente para one-shots, la idea es tan bizarra y agarrada de los pelos que funciona perfectamente.

Le doy un Fua el diego/10

I clicked on this accidentally while on splore, I ended up plying for 2 hours. 10/10 this game is crazy good and hilarious!

this is sublime tysm I laughed so much I farted

Linux user here, would love to see it for Linux too! ;_;

🤗

This is a thing of beauty! The witchy theme very much enhances the stale genre of fantasy dungeon crawling! This also pairs beautifly with it’s inspirations and settings like Woodfall. Absolutely lovin’ it for quick halloween one-shots.

Hi! Just wanted to say these are absolutely awesome and extremely cute. They give off a really cool JRPG vibe!

I do want to ask how do you handle the traits section? I assume you are using the 1e’s details tables?

Also, the coins section says 200 coins but in the Knave 2e rule book it says you can carry up to 500 coins before taking up a slot :p

Tysm for this again they are awesome!

Está muy bueno el juego y bastante completo! Lo único que me parece que puede mejorarse es la forma en la que está redactada la mecánica básica del juego. Por ejemplo, asumo que los atributos básicos se suman a las tiradas, pero no lo dice en ningún lado de forma explícita.

This collection is incredible, so vibrant and diverse! Thank you thank you thank you so much for sharing this! Some pieces are truly amazing and I want them all over my home haha <3

Yep, you can hit me up on discord! I’m on The NSR Cauldron and the Carin RPG servers! “nimlouth” is my username too! I stopped working on alternate rules for a while because year-end student grind got super crazy. Hopefully I’ll come back to RPGs after the holidays and see if I can make the “projects” rules for long play and re-think the wealth system so it’s easier to teach to newbies.

Welp, somehow this game became my main fantasy system for both GMing and solo-play during this time lmfao. I actually started making a hack/expansion for it. I’ll probably upload it to itch once it’s done, if you guys are ok with it. Here’s an early draft I made if you want to check it out. It includes like a bazillion new spells and a couple new archetypes and variant rules I use. Obviously, some things are way more cooked than others, the completed new Archetypes and the Spell list i.e. have seen table play already haha. The skills thing and the wealth system need WAY more work tho.

I’m also planning on running a Dungeon Meshi (ish) campaign with this, so expect things like cooking mechanics too :p

ALSO, I wanted to ask how do you guys feel about a fan translation to spanish? I’ve already translated some things for table play (I have non-english speaking players) so it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to finish the whole player’s guide at least in markdown format.

Tysm again for this game and the GM guide. I’ve been jumping around different NuSR systems a lot for the last couple of years but I feel this one is going to be my home for now :)

Well, I wanted to say nice things about this game but I feel I should wait to run it with a group before I review it properly, as I’ve only toyed with the system in solo play for now. In the meantime, I’ll comment on this cool thread I guess haha.

I feel this is probably the CLEANEST hack on this lineage I’ve ever seen. I generally don’t like to run mosnters with save stats but the mind/body reduction makes it work very cleanly and easily to improvise in the spot. I can also say that, even though the fatigue to inventory slots system feels weird, it really makes a whole lot of sense once you start using it. Magic feels great! It’s elegant and it makes me very happy to finally see such a “complete” implementation of GLoG style spellcasting.

But to me what steals the show on this is the clear fiction-first approach and influence. THE PLAYER AGENDA TY SO MUCH! Also the fictional positioning a la blades’ position&effect is super well implemented. TTRPG’s rules & systems can be understood as languages you learn to use, and this one feels so natural. “Oh, that is going to be trivial, so I just go.” “Mmmmmh, that kinda feels impossible because I don’t even have the tools to do it!” It.just.works (?

With such a great toolbox, I would love to see more -content- for the game tho. Like a compilation of magical items, deities, archetypes, an expanded bestiary, etc. But in the meantime I’ll just have some fun making some of my own ha <3

EDIT: also, as a 3rd world citizen, I thank you thank you thank you so deeply for the generous community copies policy ;_;

I don’t have a regular income, but I make an effort to buy my veggies (most of my food as a vegetarian) from a local cooperative eco farm that usually also donates part of the harvest to local food shelters. Tysm for making this game and tysm for the community copy! This world is unjust but we can organize and try to make it better <3

Thx a lot! This is such a treat! I look forward to try it out, maybe I will solo it later <3

A friend pointed me into this beauty. Any chance of community copies? -

Yep, it actually works perfectly when the files have the correct exact resolutions! Tysm for replying, this is a really good tool (love the themes included too!)

I can’t seem to get this to work? I drag and drop my png or ico files but nothing happens? Neither for the web app or the windows app OnO.

This is great! It is amazing how easy to understand you make the FitD engine tbh. Blades is a CHONKY game and this hacks makes aproaching the amazing world of FitD a breeze, specially for people coming from games like Dungeon World.

I’ll be playtesting this shortly. Also if you ever want/feel ok with someone to pull a spanish translation of the game, please contact me (for free haha).

Also, I hope you are doing ok. Ty for this cool thingie!

So glad this is on itch finally! This is an amazing little game and it radiates quality all around. It is also a great introduction to BoB games and GMless ttrpgs in general. One of the best ways to spend an afternoon with your friends.

10/10 would cast a spell to shrink my cats and bring them to class in my backpack again.

That’ll be like seeing a new expansion for a card game and asking it to be “magic the gathering compatible”. There are a lots of tabletop rpgs out there and there is no need for any of them to be compatible with dnd. A hollow knight class for dnd would be an entirely different product to this rpg.

This is an Eru send! The default sheet is okay but this is WAY better… and also printer friendly THX A LOT!

So I started playing the Grim Coast and I’m impressed. It’s actually a really good “tabletop souls-like” game. There are a couple of rules that wheren’t clear to me tho, specifically from that scenario:

-So The Writher can place Spike Pods, but since they are hazards, there doesn’t seem to be a limit on how many of those it can place. Is there one? I first interpreted like it could only place 1 Spike Pod at the same time on a single space, but then I started wondering if he could place several Spike Pods on a single place, accumulating more harm if the player would step on that space. I.e, having 3 Spike Pods on a single grid square would trigger 3 Harm to the player should they enter that space.

-Can you block Harm that comes from one of your weapons? On my playthrough I chose the Shield and the Erupting Flame as starting weapons. The 6 effect on the EF spell deals 5 Harm at the cost of also dealing 2 Harm to you, but the shield can block 2 Harm with a 3+ roll. So if I roll a 6 and a 4 on my stamina dice, I can assign the 6 to the spell to deal 5 Harm and the 4 to the shield to block the 2 Harm that I would get from the spell effect. Is that legal/intended? I Interpreted that you couldn’t block harm from your own attacks and weapons but still had the doubt going on.

tysm in advance, this is a really cool game!

It says in the rules under “Rounds of Combat” > “Step 2: Enemies Move & Non-Harm Actions” that actions that don’t directly deal harm are resolved at that step. So the Writher would place a spike pod during Step 2 i.e.
