At the moment, I do not have an ETA on 2nd edition. However, I have just made community copies available! Thank you for reaching out :)

Awesome! Glad it has more clarity for you. I hope you have fun. Kyle Latino drew that map like a master!

Yes, I think I see. So, on pg 4, when a character sustains a Wound, reduce Rank. Monsters are considered characters. If a Demon Boar takes a Wound, it is reduced to Rank 8, etc. On a Complication, it states, deal weapons Harm, not just 1 Harm. Monsters are reduced in Rank until 0, then dead. Wounds reduce Rank. Harm chips away at the current Rank. Monsters are not impacted by Fear or scars, those are indeed player facing effects. 

On pg 29 it says: at 0 health, adversaries are removed from battle. So once at Rank 4, if it takes a Wound, it is dead. Or if it takes a total of 4 harm, then it is dead.

Does this help?

Hello! Thank you for the question. Sorry you've not been able to find an answer to this. I'm unable to find in the book where it says monsters are not impacted by wounds. Would you mind pointing out where that is mentioned, please? Regardless, I can understand the lack of clarity.

If you are playing the game, I say this: On a success, you do 1 Harm, reducing the creature's rank by 1 step. Same as with a PC. 

There are a few clarity issues in the book, that I intend to adjust in the future. 

Please reach out if this doesn't do the trick or if there are other questions.

All best,PR

thanks so much! appreciate that :)

Hey thanks so much for the note! Glad you are enjoying it. 

1) In White Box, it's all d6 dmg. You can alter monster strength if you want by doing d6-1 or d6+1, but typically all monsters all d6 dmg

2) It's your game. Typically the monsters don't level up. But seeing as a GM isn't creating the encounter you can either, just always use Tier 2 or make the baddies have more HP or variable damage (d8, d10) to simulate a harder level.

Hope this helped!

Cheers!

Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate that and very glad. 

Thank you so much for picking up the game! This is something I missed when distributing (didn't occur to me to include a world worksheet in the physical books)  - but it's just the image on this page here (the bottom grid map image with numbers) - you should be able to right click that and save the image, or send me an email at perplexingruins@gmail.com and I can send it that way.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

All best PR

Thank you so much for the comment! I hope they do serve you well. I will be adding a number of new pieces over the next few weeks too, so keep an eye out for updates

It did - so sorry about that! Thank you for letting me know. This is what happens when trying to work too fast. All there now :)

Thanks Jelly Cult! Really appreciate it :)

Oh excellent! I hope the sheets allow you get in some good gaming. They're designed to be used with a game like Basic Fantasy or White Box, for sure, so good choice. Thank you for checking them out! Safe journey

Ah! thank you so much for that - appreciate the note! Cheers

Thanks for checking it out! Hope you have a good time

thanks for checking out the game! I wrote this in a few hours to try and make the Jam deadline. It needs quite a bit of refinement to be considered a polished game. I plan to do that though, as I think it has some good bones here :) Stay tuned!

Yea I figured that out, thank you. Initially I was confused, at the idea of having 4 spells. But only one of the 4 can actually be used. Cheers

appreciate all the variations here! Thanks Matt

I am curious about Magic Users. Per their table, they have 1 level 1 spell. But Starting Spells give them d4? Am I misreading? Thanks

Thanks for doing this Matt!

Hey thanks for all the feedback! You make some excellent points. It was written in about a 7 hour single day push, haha, so bound to have numerous faults. But I agree, some tidying up, expanding, clarifying etc, It could be fun little pamphlet game. Cheers

Thanks, that means a lot! I just shared the link to this on Blue Sky! I hope more folks pop over to have a look.

excellent question! Yes, 2 Fuel. Also, i see I didnt mention where you start. I'd say begin at a random place with a Market. I plan to flesh this one out a little bit soon. Thanks for checking it out!

Yea, this is nice! I like what's going on here. Will be happily following along. Clever use of the dice pips to mark increased skills. I think this will make a great game to use with my Solo Sheets.

Dig it! the gazette is perfect for this

Hey thanks so much for checking it out! I too find the IS dice very cool, and have wanted a way to use them! Hope you enjoy the game

Can a printed edition still be had for those who missed the KS?

Awesome! I'll post an update here when they are available

Hey thanks for the kind words! Appreciate it

Done!

Hey, thanks so much. I will try to get something out by Monday!

thanks!

Oh nice! this looks awesome - congrats :) I backed those 3 zines, but wondering if this moves and there's left over copy of Sun Sutra, I'd be keen to pick up that one!

oh thank you so much for leaving your comment! I'm glad your table had fun with it :)

Thanks so much! I hope you have fun with it :) Awesome gaming to you
