Amazing! Any chance for an English version?

I've got a group, with room for 1 more player if anyone sees this and wants to join! We're using discord voice and playing biweekly

If you're interested, my discord is Slantio Pink#4743

I'll also check the replies here

Anyone here on discord or roll20? I'm head over heels for this game and would love to get to play in a session, but would be happy to run a one shot or short campaign as well

My thinking was, these could be used for populating setpiece locations, supplementing treasure and loot boxes, and for "searching the body" so to speak (especially on the Personal Items table)

I come from an OSR background but have been smitten by this game. These equipment tweaks also allow a gamemaster to add a little more difficulty re: inventory management. Rather than picking "tools" you'd have to pick a single tool. Just makes things a bit grittier and granular I feel, if that's your preference.

Hope y'all can find some use for these! I've got some more lying around here somewhere (an expansive d100 occupations table and a WIP "trucker hat" table)
I'd also highly recommend Esoteric Enterprises by Emmy Allen for boatloads of resources for a modern crime campaign. Happy gaming, all!

Design Notes:

Assigning size categories is tricky, but the way i rationalized a small item was by thinking "could you put this in your pocket without notice, or wear it?" Deciding if something warranted a large OO rating, I thought "would you need two hands to carry and operate this?"

My dark secret is that I only think in terms of tables haha. I'll post them in another thread!

Additionally Jason, are you active anywhere on discord? Is there a Copperhead County community hiding somewhere? I have some small tables and other bits that might be worth sharing. Is this the best place?

Hey all, just wanted to say that after stumbling back upon this game in a MUCH more complete form after a couple of years, congrats! This game has come so far compared to when I saw it as a small hack years ago.

I love all the rules tweaks and honestly the design ethos of limiting Subsystems really fixes a lot of the personal nitpicks I had with BitD.

I desperately want to get this game to the table, but alas I'm stuck in quarantine. Let me know if there are any online games happening, I'd love to get in! And keep up the good work!
