I have had this for a while but hadn't read it. (You know how that goes.) Wow was I missing out. THIS zine is amazing. It is clearly a labor of love and you knocked it the hell out of the park. I love zines. I love compact rules sets. Often they are really vague or not well organized, but I love them anyway. This zine IS well organized, and in its mere 16 pages it feels very clear to me and fairly complete given the scope. Would I like some vehicle rules? Sort of (though you manage to hint at them in the Beast scenario). Do I want a little lore? No, not really, I can make up my own. Do I want campaign rules? That might be sweet, but not really necessary and maybe a subject for a sequel, if you have it in you. Anyway. Thank you for this. Now I just have to decide which minis I'm going to use for my squads. Though, to be honest, I'm sitting at work drawing some on my iPad so I can use them right away in plastic stands when I get home. 
 

YUP! You are welcome.

Yep, that's me. I took everything offline a while back in a fit of paranoia and frustration with modern uber-reaching, privacy invading connectivity. (Like I have anything to hide! lol. I am so f'ing, boringly "normal.") Anyway ... uh, yeah. I am putting things back up. I'll do that one first. So check back when you read this: plundergrounds.itch.io

DUDE! This is so great.

Thanks! Yeah, I think the idea of "logical" magic isn't very swords & sorcery. That's more in the tradition of Merlin or Gandalf (and ultimately magic-users in D&D). It makes for a different feel to tie it to passion.

So many good thoughts! As this was a year ago, I hate to dive in. Sorry I'm so bad at reading and responding to these comments. I need a better notification system. 

I never saw this when you posted it! I'm so sorry. :) If you are still interested, email me - rayotus at gmail. 

Haha. That sounds kind of funny. Probably as "awkward" to play as the real life events.

Sorry it took me forever. I need a better alert system to see these new comments faster!

Sneaking. That's what I would use. 

Wow. Really nice stuff!

AWESOME!!! I love these little guys. Any chance for more? More gobbos or paper minis of any kind I mean?

I play through this tiny zine periodically as a way of shrugging off depression. The mechanics and play are ridiculously simple, but I would suggest you resist adding anything mechanical to it. If you want to go heavier on the fiction, name your rats and describe their quirks. Ditto for your ship and the carp godling. Give each site 2-3 horrifying descriptors. THEN - maybe - give yourself one extra or one fewer die to roll if some of your flavor lines up in favor for or against you. But mostly just roll the dice, look at the pics, and do what the zine tells you to do. It's cathartic and fun.

WHOA! Dude. Share those pics. I want to print them out for when I next play this. :)

And now it's fixed in the devlog post. Thank you, Rufus383!

YEs. Sigh. LOL. Thankfully it's right in the zine.

The instructions were in the download screen, but I moved/copied them to the main description as well. Thanks!

I think they do mention a cut (two actually), but I'll double check. Once you fold you have to either staple then trim the outside edge (longarm stapler) or trim and then staple (regular stapler). Then you have to slit open the top edge folds. 

Haha. Yup, the possibilities are endless. Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you for posting this.

This is a cool little pamphlet game!

The license is CC-BY-NC-SA. So you can share it (and derivatives of it) - with credit - for non-commercial (can't sell it) - under the same license. As long as you follow those rules you can do whatever you like. I have funny feelings about bringing in rules from another Tolkien inspired game. I'm still sorting that out. I requested access to your doc and will probably have a clearer mind once I read it. But again, the license allows you to do stuff, regardless of what I think. :)

Little ones.

Oh, and included the markdown file ... chef's kiss.

Really nice presentation. Super clean. You pack a lot of flavor into it too! My only complaint - while I like the little doo-dad filler graphics I want them to be bones. :)

absolutely!!

That’s awesome to hear!! Thanks for sharing. Of course the real credit I’m sure goes to you as the GM. :)

Ummmm. When were you going to email everyone and tell them you had a book coming out!!!!!!!!! Gah. I just stopped by Games Omnivorous and saw it. Insta-buy.
