Ah, I think it just meant that it wasn't reasonable that the test (to see if someone was being ripped off) wasn't something you could try again after a little while. Y'know, going for a smoke break, then trying something again. I don't think Luke was implying smoking had a mechanical effect, though might be cool to include that for grotty swyvers!
In my mind it would look like this: "If a swyver fails a test, and the GM agrees, they can 'go and have a smoke' and try again. Mark off one dose of tobacco. Test Con. If the test passes, they are 'newly fortified' and can try again. Smoking takes between 2 & 10 minutes and so cannot be done in combat."
The 'Swyvers Companion' is out later this year with lots of new rules, so maybe there'll be smoking rules in there? :P
Amazing! I am a tran contemporary of yours and I too remember the exciting freedom promised by ZZT and its editor! ^_^
Great little zine, have recommended. Also, ironically, given your words, the first time I've been caught out by the UK's so-called 'Online Safety Act' - I just VPNed and pretended to be Swedish instead :P
I noticed in Chris's video on the Jam, the fonts for these knights weren't displaying properly in his PDF reader. Has anyone else had this problem? They should display consistantly as the fonts in the book, and do for me both in my PDF publisher and in my browser when I view them that way. If anyone else has the same problem as Chris, please let me know and I'll see if I can fix it.
minor edit made.
Having published this I just had a new wave of ideas of what to include and changes to make, but I'm going to wait to see if anyone actually uses these (and I hope to get to use them in my home game) and see what works, what doesn't, and what changes might be worth making in future :)
