Thanks!

I’ve migrated to a new, better version of the website now. It might take a little while to go live.

yeah seems like something is wrong with it… I’ll take a look soon

‘Encumbered’ isn’t a special game condition, you’re encumbered when you’re carrying heavy stuff, same as in real life. That sort of thing can be negotiated at the table (or you can make a rule for it yourself), this text doesn’t address it because I prefer not to use rules for that sort of thing in my own games.

The main reason to take plate armour is that it looks cooler. I think it’d make sense to let it take multiple hits, or split it into discrete pieces of armour that can each break. Again, that’s for the table to negotiate.

thanks!

it’s up to you really! as much or as little play as you like! i usually just do one element per scene

usually i would do distinct scenes for each column, but it could also be beats/aspects of a single scene

yeah, basically every time you roll your stress die there’s a risk of reducing your pool

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thanks! I’d like to revisit this idea at some point.

Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you’ve found my stuff useful.

i’m ozmodeuz on discord

absolutely, it’s CC-BY so you don’t need my permission, but you have it anyway. if you wanna send me the text i can drop it into the layout too.

Player’s choice, losing dice to stress reduced how effectively you can apply yourself (and/or risks more stress).

Soz try again now

Thanks, so kind!

That’s great!

I’m… not sure! I think at my table I’d say inkbound + 1 more to start.

Thanks!

My pleasure, and thanks for translating! I’ll put up a devlog with a link!

Awesome!

Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you like it!

Thanks!

And thanks for the kind words! It was written very much with that prospect, introduction of new players, in mind.

I’ve never given it thought haha but CC-BY-4.0 would do the trick I think! I’ll update it at some point to add that. I provided Sage a little logo for Discordantopia and would happily upload same here for anyone to use.

It gets better once you survive a couple of sessions, but at first, yeah, avoid rolling!

For a starting character, yeah.

BUT the way it’s written all you need is a character background and skills with numbers on them. So you can run it ‘as is’ pretty easily.

Yeah, Pulka! assumes you’re running Troika!, be that just the main book, or alongside one of the numerous other ‘spheres’.

What I’d like to do is a post-Messerspiel text that uses the same dice system, with some add ons for making characters, handling recovery of the pool, advice for flashbacks and other structural ideas about running that sort of gang/heist game.

But I think Messerspiel itself is done now. I might even have gone too far ‘refining’ it. I know some people prefer version 1.x (which is why I uploaded a bunch of old versions).

Cheers! I always intended to bolt on extra bits, flash backs, downtime. But never got round to it. Plus it always felt fairly obviously how to handle those elements (to me anyway).

There’s a channel for #ozrjam on the Pink Square Discord server, a place to discuss minimalist or rules-light RPGs (or whatever really). Join in!

Thanks Sean!

Unfortunately not so far, though I know some folks have pursued printing on their own. Basically I’ve just been too busy to pursue a joint project.

Crikey, not sure what I did there. Try now!

Oops! Should be fixed now!

Thanks! I think that might mean you like FKR though!

My pleasure! I did basically nothing! Everyone else did the hard work!
