1 00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:16,540 Hello and welcome to the Weekly Scroll Podcast. 2 00:00:16,540 --> 00:00:20,260 My name is Ryan. And I really only take passage 3 00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:25,780 on ships with luxury quarters. And, and today we're going to be 4 00:00:25,780 --> 00:00:32,000 looking at Off Worlders from Chris P Wolf, A science fiction 5 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,160 role-playing game about adventurers, outlaws and guns 6 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:39,400 for hire making their fortune on the rough end of the Galaxy. 7 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,240 That's what we're doing, the rough end, not the smooth end. 8 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,600 Yeah. So. 9 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,400 So this is a game that I wanted to do for a while, mostly 10 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,240 because it's the system that I pretty much love the most. 11 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,680 Ryan Ryan 2D6 game, you know. Yeah, yeah, it's very much. 12 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:06,640 We'll have a brief discussion on Powered by the Apocalypse, but 13 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:15,640 yeah, brief as as we do all things but but yeah, I don't 14 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,800 think we got anything going on for those that are are not 15 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,680 catching other stuff. We have started our first 16 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,600 campaign here on the show in the in the light of a setting sun's 17 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280 coming in every Monday. We got 2 episodes out, a zero 18 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,040 session and a first session. So make sure you go check those. 19 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,280 If you like westerns, that's been fun. 20 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,280 We'll run that for a couple more weeks, but other than that, 21 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,960 we're just going to try to what's up. 22 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,080 Well, it's only really a campaign if it comes from the 23 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,040 campaign region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling 24 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,480 adventure. There you go. 25 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:49,600 There you go. Yeah. 26 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,120 So we have a sparkling adventure of Ghost of the Sierra Verde 27 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,760 from John Davis. So check that out. 28 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,280 Check John out. And it's it's been fun. 29 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,040 I because I have to use my TDVS glass. 30 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,840 I'm going to pour it. Downstairs. 31 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,720 There we go. Boom, look at us. 32 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,040 So yeah, let's start with the game just a little bit. 33 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,360 So I held up already. This is off rollers. 34 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,880 It's a it's a big little book. Yeah, it's a big little book. 35 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,400 Yeah, it's very tall and skinny. So it's 8 1/2 by 11, and as far 36 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,480 as the book goes, it runs to about 24252620. 37 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,520 It's like 2728. It's like 28 pages all the way 38 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,400 through. So at 8 1/2 by 11 for 28 pages, 39 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,000 we're going to write this as a book, not as Zine today. 40 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,520 Because if this was, you know, A5, it would probably be like, 41 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,520 you know, 4050 plus pages, if not longer, which we would 42 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,880 usually do as bigger than Zine. And it's kind of stuff and 43 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,600 enough art and enough everything that I think it it, it warrants 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:02,120 being, being, getting the full treatment as opposed to a Zine. 45 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,160 And also because we want to. You know, because we fuck it 46 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,800 because we fucking want to. I mean, I do want to talk about 47 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,280 the value score. That's important. 48 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,040 I think so. Yeah, I think for this one that 49 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,600 is important, so. We can make sure is. $400.00 for 50 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:19,600 for half a print of this so. Yeah, which is incredible. 51 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,280 You can only find it on eBay. So. 52 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,120 So yeah, talk about the game a little bit here. 53 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,840 Off Worlders again by Chris P Wolf. 54 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,680 Offer Holders was published on Drive Through RPG on November 55 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,880 2nd, 2018 and released on Itch on June 4th, 2020. 56 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,960 I think the print runs started in like 20-19 maybe on drive 57 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,520 through based on some of the comments and stuff and there has 58 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360 been some updates. It sounds like it originally 59 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,240 came out in a four column layout. 60 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,520 It's a three column layout. You'll see, you'll see that in a 61 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,720 second. The people that are are that are 62 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,000 watching and some small live dates from there, but it looks 63 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,160 like I said it was on drive through before it hit itch. 64 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,600 So it's it's built on the foundation laid by world of 65 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,920 dungeons by John Harper, which is one of my favorite games of 66 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,280 all time. It's one of the, I think the 67 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,000 three games that kind of like like changed the way that I 68 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,680 think about games and. Dungeons really early on, I feel 69 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,360 like, you know. Yeah, I love it and I don't 70 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,160 think it's a PBTA and we'll get into that. 71 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,000 It says like World of Dungeons, Off Worlders is designed to be 72 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,800 heavily interpreted in play, hacked to bits and customized to 73 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,840 taste. And on Itch page, it does say 74 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:37,000 100% of the money we make from Off Worlders for the foreseeable 75 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,800 future will be donated to bail fund organizations and other 76 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,120 organizations aligned with the current protest movement in 77 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,920 support of Black lives and police accountability. 78 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,240 Thanks for your support. So it's still on this page. 79 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,920 I assume that's still happening. So that's that's awesome. 80 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,800 Yeah, that's sick. And sure, we'll get some fun. 81 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:02,960 More leftist Fox comments. We haven't had one of those in a 82 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,440 while. We've talked shit about cops 83 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,240 multiple times I think, so maybe that person. 84 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Off of them away, you know, those weird right wing OSR guys, 85 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,320 come on. And like, this is cool and like, 86 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,720 yeah, hey, fuck the government and the police. 87 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,720 They're like, not for me. Yeah, Yeah. 88 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,200 Well, I mean, we're definitely in the fuck the government phase 89 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,320 again right now. And you know what? 90 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,600 Go ahead and fuck the police too. 91 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,000 And ICE. Especially ice, Yeah. 92 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,720 So let's just fucking hop into the game. 93 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,520 Let's do it. Let's. 94 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,800 Do it all right, Offworlder. So the cover is very yellow. 95 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:47,200 Let me get let me get a zoom to page level so we can see the 96 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,520 whole cover at one time. I so the cover is yellow. 97 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,240 There's a skyline in the back slightly above halfway that has 98 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,960 like a black like halftone. And it is a picture of an 99 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,320 astronaut in a space suit, you know, with the whole glass top 100 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,960 and everything, gun holding a crate of something looking away 101 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:16,200 from you in like A at like 7:00, seven to 8:00, you know, Wait, 102 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,960 wait, wait. 9:00 to 10:00 away from you. 103 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,960 It's an interesting angle of a person. 104 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,480 Yeah. Not not even just the cover of a 105 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,160 book, but like just in general of like a person angle. 106 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,640 Yeah, I love the shadow and like the very obvious light source. 107 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,600 I really enjoyed the art throughout this. 108 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,040 The August is Olivia Gulin Golin. 109 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,080 What should we decide? GULIN, let's say, let's say 110 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,400 golin, a little bit of both, like a mix whose. 111 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,760 Name I don't recognize but I did enjoy this. 112 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,800 Yeah, the arts. Fantastic all the way through. 113 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,360 All the way through. All the way through the spot 114 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,880 arts really good. I love a lot of the there's like 115 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,240 a page of like what you need to play the game and I really liked 116 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,160 the journal and pencil specifically on that. 117 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,160 Like there was like a lot of time spent coloring the front of 118 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,160 this journal, and I don't know why, I just appreciated it. 119 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,720 But yeah, art's great, so. Yeah, it's so good. 120 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,200 I love the. Texture of the background on 121 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,280 like the cover and a couple other pieces as well. 122 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,360 Yeah, yeah, there's a halftone. There's like a really, I'm not 123 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,680 calling it halftone, but like, I don't know, because I don't know 124 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,920 what else to call it. Like when you have like very 125 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,000 closely done circles that creates like a texture across 126 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,440 the entire thing. I believe that is like halftone 127 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,400 all the way through. And it's very consistent and 128 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,000 it's really nice. And it's a game that uses like 129 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,760 one artist all the way through which it's. 130 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,200 Stippling used. Stippling. 131 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,520 Is a technique of creating an image, texture or pattern using 132 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,080 small dots. Yeah, but that's, I mean, I know 133 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,640 it's stippling is Yeah, that's right, not. 134 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,800 Quite that. So I would definitely call this 135 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,880 going on. There's dots. 136 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400 We all like it. So I definitely call it like 1/2 137 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,600 tone a little bit so. So getting. 138 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,160 Into it. Welcome to Off Worlders. 139 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,840 I'm going to read this because it's it's the core narrative. 140 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,640 It's in the entire game. So we'll talk about that. 141 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,400 Yeah. Offworlders is a science fiction 142 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,160 role-playing game about adventurers, outlaws and guns 143 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,400 for hire making their fortune on the rough end of the Galaxy. 144 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,160 It is designed to be straightforward enough to pick 145 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,480 up and be ready to play in just a few minutes as a one off game, 146 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,480 but with enough meat to play short campaign as well. 147 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,400 The player characters and off world lawyers are the owners of 148 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,280 a small Starship in a time when humans have spread to many 149 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,080 worlds. Together they explore the 150 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,600 universe, completing A profitable jobs and overcoming 151 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,799 dangers. You'll fly between planets, 152 00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:36,000 taking on the dangerous work that no one else wants. 153 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,200 You'll fight ruthless pirates, explore drifting derelict and go 154 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,360 toe toe with weird alien monsters. 155 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,640 And just to make enough credits to keep your ship flying, you'll 156 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,840 overcome these challenges by the skin of your teeth and come out 157 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,240 stronger on the other side. Along voyages, your characters 158 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,760 will learn about each other and grow together. 159 00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:55,240 The first part of this book describes the general rules that 160 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,040 everyone at the table will use to play. 161 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,120 The second part is dressed directly to the Game Master and 162 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,520 contains rules and guidelines for running off worlders either 163 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,400 as a single session or as a campaign. 164 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,040 So let's go to the credits page and then talk about some parts 165 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,280 that are that are interesting. I think. 166 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,080 So credit due off Worlders of the game by Chris Wolfe, 167 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,520 illustrations and a book design by Olivia Gulen. 168 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,800 Off Worlders is inspired by World of Dungeons by John 169 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,280 Harper, which we talked about. It also has some inspiration 170 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,960 from Dungeon World, from Sage Latorre and Adam Coble, which 171 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,120 obviously fell out of, you know, but we're not going to bring 172 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,560 that. But off as well as Traveler by 173 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:37,920 Mark Miller, obviously, Yeah. And stars with that numbers from 174 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,440 Kevin Crawford. But obviously Traveler stuff. 175 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,760 Anyone that knows Chris knows Chris is the big Traveler fan 176 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,360 so. Doesn't want to be traveler 177 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,000 stuff, yeah. If you play off Worlders, please 178 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,760 let me know what you think. I believe that should be up. 179 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,400 I don't know if Chris still is on Twitter, but I know we 180 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,720 interact with him on Blue Sky, so you can check them out there. 181 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,520 And then Offworlders is licensed under Creative Commons and 182 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,960 there's a link to the license, which is great. 183 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:07,840 So go into the index real quick and yeah, we'll talk about this 184 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,640 and then we'll talk about what I was going to say. 185 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,560 So nice. I mean, layout wise it is two or 186 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,160 three columns. The index is 2 columns versus 187 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,360 white, but it's black, it's black and white. 188 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,640 When you do go to the drive through print, we'll bring this 189 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,280 up again later. It is like premium color, but it 190 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,880 just I guess makes the paper and quality better. 191 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,000 Even though it's a black and white inside, a color on the 192 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,360 outside, but it is all black text on white background. 193 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,480 There is a index here playing the game and then all of the 194 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,720 sections for playing the game. There's a Game Master section 195 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:43,000 and a sheet section, and then it is hyperlinked, which is 196 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,720 fantastic. It's completely hyperlinked. 197 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,880 There are in fact bookmarks, which is really great to see. 198 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,320 It's really interesting. So obviously, like I said, this 199 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,960 system speaks to my heart. But it's funny because, you 200 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:04,400 know, we've only like, I've chatted with Chris recently and 201 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,520 this game came out long before we ever even started the 202 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,120 podcast. And this version of the game 203 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,800 come out long before we ever started the podcast. 204 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,200 But it has so many of the things that we love, which is funny 205 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,080 because like as I was going through it, I was like, oh, this 206 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,320 is this. If I was writing a game, this is 207 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,600 very close to the system that I would write and it has, and it's 208 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,920 fully hyperlinked and it has complete differentiation between 209 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,680 a player section and DM section. I was like. 210 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,160 I thought exactly that going good. 211 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,360 I was like, look at this is a proper fucking tabletop game 212 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,160 right here. I was like, introduces the 213 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,080 rules, then does character creation, then expands it on the 214 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,160 rules that, yeah, game Master section partitioned off. 215 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,440 Yeah, I was like, good, this is good. 216 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,720 It's so funny. Yeah. 217 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,680 It's so funny because it feels like, again, this came out long 218 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:49,920 before we ever started the show, but this feels like someone, 219 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,080 like, listened to our critiques and was like, all right, I need 220 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,080 to make sure I hit all these points. 221 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,720 But they just did it on their own. 222 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,280 So obviously love the way that they did this, I think. 223 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,040 It's a statement on the fact that the industry is moving 224 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,360 backwards. Actually, things are getting 225 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,200 worse. Oh I I could not. 226 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,800 Like I know you're joking, but I'm not. 227 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,320 And I completely agree that the entire industry for in various 228 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,760 ways has gotten worse since 2018. 229 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,160 So. That's OK, don't worry, when the 230 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,320 MCDM game comes out it'll fix everything. 231 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,800 Oh, you mean the game that made two and a half million dollars 232 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,960 that never still doesn't even have like a name and has had no 233 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,320 updates or anything in years? Yeah, we'll see if that ever 234 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:30,720 comes. Out. 235 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:37,280 No, don't worry, it's coming. Yeah, zoom to page level again. 236 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,640 There's a couple pieces of like full page art here. 237 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,120 That again is just fantastic. Oh, this is. 238 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,440 Let me see if it if it will go together here. 239 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:50,840 Good spreads, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 240 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,640 Let's see if I can if it if it's the right number of pages. 241 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,560 No, it's not. Nah, it's too bad. 242 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Yeah, I mean, I could just throw in a page, but I'm not going to. 243 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,880 But this would be a two page spread. 244 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,320 I'll just hold up in the book to start playing the game section. 245 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,320 Solid, nice big spread of zoomed in on hands, kind of looking at 246 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,680 a table. Yeah. 247 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,680 And that's got like a grid across it and some maps, some 248 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:29,280 coins, a controller for a submarine, you know. 249 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,440 But we get the playing the game section, which again, I yeah, 250 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,520 you got it. It took a second. 251 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,000 You got. That guy, when you said it, they 252 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,040 just as it marinated, it continued to get funnier, yeah. 253 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,800 So, so playing the game and again, I, I, I fucking love that 254 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,360 there is a hard differentiation between the playing the game 255 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,680 section and the GM section. Yeah, like so many games should 256 00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:58,600 have that. Like Speaking of John Harper, 257 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,120 like fucking Blades in the Dark. Did you see Blades in the Dark? 258 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,680 Deep Cuts is coming to back her kit. 259 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,120 It's like an 50 page expansion of the setting in the. 260 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,720 World no fucking way. You were kids longer. 261 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,880 If any game does it, that's so funny 'cause that's my exact 262 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,000 reaction. If any game doesn't need anymore 263 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,360 and could actually use much less, a Blades of the Dark does 264 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,920 not need another 150 pages. It needs to cut out 150 pages 265 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,240 long. But you know what? 266 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,480 Some people are very excited for it. 267 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,760 Deluxe edition of that game is they actually cut out like 120. 268 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,080 Yeah, make a Zen. Yeah. 269 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,640 Did you just have blades in the dark of the Zen? 270 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,960 Not even that, just like all the parts that repeat themselves. 271 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,560 Just clip that shit right the fuck out. 272 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,320 It's funny because I'm so like I am so critical about like, you 273 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,320 know, more isn't act necessarily more, but like we just went over 274 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,000 liminal horrors new project and that ones actually more in like 275 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,040 a meaningful way. And that one I'm like, okay, 276 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,600 well, that expansion of size, I want those tools, you know? 277 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,880 Yeah, I mean, I, I do and I obviously we we love Josh and 278 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,520 and Golden, our cousin Zach on the show, everything. 279 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,000 But like when they were like 350 pages, I was like, well, I'm 280 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,400 sure we'll have an opinion on that, but we'll see how it goes. 281 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,200 Mostly a toolbox. It's fine. 282 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,040 Yeah, mostly a toolbox. And like I said, I do love that 283 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,680 you can't. You're getting the 284 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,480 investigator's edition with it, which is just all you need to 285 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,920 play to. So you don't need all of those 286 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,760 things. So getting a book knowing it's 287 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,120 just a toolkit is way different than getting a book and going, 288 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,080 oh, I need all 400 fucking pages of this. 289 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,240 And we also know that they are separating it into appropriate 290 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,560 sections and everything you know and like plug in. 291 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,200 A different episode. Yeah, I mean, that's a good 292 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,320 game, but but again, speaking real quick before we get into 293 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:43,440 this too deep World dungeons for those don't know is a 2D6 game 294 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,400 from John Harper. And for those that also don't 295 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,960 know, we, we kind of beat up on blades in the dark here on the 296 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,920 show a lot because honestly, in my opinion, it deserves it. 297 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:03,040 But it's it's never going to not blow my mind that I that the 298 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,760 same guy who did blades in the dark dead world of dungeons, 299 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,680 which is my favorite games and lasers and feelings, which is 300 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760 another one my favorite games and lasers and feelings is like 301 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,880 a one page. Game they'll have not read 302 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,080 lasers. I know it's very short. 303 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,520 Literally like a one page game. Just fucking read it like it's 304 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,920 fantastic. You basically you have like 2 305 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,080 stats, it's lasers or feelings like and like that's kind of and 306 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,480 and then World of Dungeons is literally like a four four to 307 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,520 six page game If you don't like the character sheets in it, 308 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,640 which is crazy, but it is at its core A2D6 like mix success game. 309 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,800 It's one of the original kind of like Pbta hacks, quote UN quote. 310 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,920 But I've said this forever, once I really knew what Pbta was, I 311 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,160 don't personally think that World of Dungeons is a PBTA 312 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:55,280 because it basically just uses the 2D6 mix success dice 313 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,560 mechanic and slaps that onto basically like a a super 314 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,240 streamline dungeon BX ish kind of game. 315 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,480 Right? So there's no narrative 316 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,599 scaffolding, there's no moves, there's no any of that stuff. 317 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:11,200 It's just the dice mechanic, which I don't think makes a 318 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,560 PBTA. I've said this over and over 319 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,680 again, what I think makes a Pbta is the narrative scaffolding, 320 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,599 which is why you can have a thing like Dreams Askew and 321 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:23,000 Dream Apart or Masters. Well, yeah, because those games 322 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,200 literally like no dice, No Masters doesn't even have a dice 323 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,040 mechanic. But it is still Pbta because it 324 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,480 has narrative scaffolding. It has movements that is 325 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,760 pickless. It has all of those things. 326 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,280 Which again, I think personally for me is what really defines 327 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:39,800 the game, is the way the game is scaffolded narratively and the 328 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,880 way that the players in gyms interact with that kind of 329 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,560 conversation, which World of Dungeons doesn't have 330 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,720 realistically. And this game is really built on 331 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,360 that. And it's funny because I asked 332 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:58,880 Chris, is this a PBTA? And he was like, you know, like 333 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,600 my answer would be no, because but again, I also don't think 334 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,720 fist is a PBTAI don't think World of Dungeon is the PBA. 335 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,200 I don't think this is the PBTA. If you want to call it anything, 336 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,000 I would say it's a Dungeon World hack because you just take a 337 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,920 mechanic of it. But again, PBTA quote UN quote. 338 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,840 Like quote UN quote. Per the website, Powered by the 339 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,240 Apocalypse was just supposed to be a brand that they published 340 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:31,160 under, per Vincent Baker. It never was meant to like be 341 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:35,280 the name of a whole system or anything, even though that is 342 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,320 what is obviously evolved into what people see it. 343 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,200 As but anyway, lineages of games, I mean everything so many 344 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,680 things we that are hacks of other things I could just look 345 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,520 at and be like that's a BX hack, you know, I mean like yeah, 346 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,960 yeah. Yeah, so I personally just 347 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,160 hitting the same 2D6 mix success on its own does not necessarily 348 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,240 make thing APBTII don't think that this is 1, but this is the 349 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,120 page you were talking about with the What you need page. 350 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,040 Look at the little journal bro, isn't that sick cover on that? 351 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,120 Journal's cute. It's got a little. 352 00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:05,680 Is that? Is that an orange slice? 353 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,200 It is a little. Orange slice. 354 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,160 Got some dice. I think that's an. 355 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,560 Is that an eraser to you off to the side? 356 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,360 Like what? It's a little little thing, yes. 357 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,400 So, yeah, so two things on this page. 358 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,120 And again, you'll notice now we hit this three column layout. 359 00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:23,360 This has two columns. It's got a left column and a 360 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,160 middle column and then like a blank column to the right. 361 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,080 But it's got the art across the top, which is really, really 362 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,600 fantastic. I love the layout through this. 363 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,560 I think it's really, really great three column grid layout 364 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,200 with a very simple, straightforward text. 365 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:39,160 What you need stuff rules, pencils, people, things like 366 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,760 that. There is a section here. 367 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,160 I didn't want to say that it's the, the book is mostly 368 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:44,760 hyperlinked all the way through, which is fantastic. 369 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,040 But there is a section here that says off rollers character sheet 370 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,000 for each player 1 ship sheet and you can get these at 371 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,480 crispywolf.com/offworlders. But that is not hyperlinked. 372 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,640 So obviously you can just copy paste that. 373 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,760 But like, if you're going to hyperlink anything, copperlink 374 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,160 your own website where people can find stuff. 375 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,800 Absolutely I. Agree. 376 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,080 Yeah, what's that? Pretty good. 377 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:13,240 The conversation is one of my favorite parts in this entire 378 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,280 book, and I'm just going to read through it too. 379 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:24,360 Guys can hear this, a lot of games kind of touch on this, but 380 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:27,600 not in the way that Chris explains it here in these couple 381 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,960 paragraphs, and I think it's such a fantastic way to do it. 382 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,400 It says a game of Off worlders is a conversation. 383 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,280 The Game Master will describe the scene around the player 384 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,280 characters, populating the details on people. 385 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,840 The players will respond to that world, describing how their 386 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,640 characters interact with it, asking the GM about details and 387 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,240 saying what their characters say to each other and the NPC's. 388 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,280 Basic like, yes, of course, right? 389 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,960 But then it says you'll take turns, but you'll take turns 390 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,760 like you do in a conversation. Sometimes you'll speak for 391 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,680 longer to get something done, and often you'll step back to 392 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,800 let someone else have the spotlight. 393 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,120 Unlike many other games, you'll never split up into a specific 394 00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:06,880 order to take formal terms. Just let things flow naturally 395 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,280 and let whoever the action is centered on describe what the 396 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,560 character does. If you've been in spotlight for 397 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,200 a while, invite someone else to speak up. 398 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,360 I love that. I love that like when 399 00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:20,520 something's happening, if, if there's still like a rise to the 400 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,840 action, you just kind of let the action rise kind of like you 401 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,360 would in a conversation. And when it's time for someone 402 00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:28,360 else to take that, you can. So everyone just kind of knows 403 00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:31,040 that sometimes someone will have the, you know, the, the 404 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,760 spotlight for a little bit and then you'll pass it to someone 405 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,440 else. It's just a great way to write 406 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,000 that out. And, and I really, really love, 407 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,360 I really love that basic terms. I will say we're getting into 408 00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:44,320 basic terms. This is a page like there's only 409 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,560 I think 2 pages throughout the entire book that I'm like, just 410 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,800 like, not quite like. The biggest fan of this is one 411 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,880 of them. Basic terms is 3 columns, about 412 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,400 half the page, the bottom half the page with nothing across the 413 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,640 top. The fact that the top half is 414 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,320 just empty in this page, it's. Just empty, which is fine 415 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,320 because like the way that the the the grid layout is done 416 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,520 throughout the entire book. Like there are spaces that work 417 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,720 for this style of layout, but I I wouldn't have minded like just 418 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,640 a little something here on the top of this page here you just. 419 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,440 Entered the terms like, I mean, maybe a little, yeah. 420 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,920 It's like up into a little bit yeah, but but it's it's fine. 421 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,440 Like it's not I would wouldn't take a big Ding against it. 422 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,400 It's just they took everything they needed and and put it and 423 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,000 it's interesting, but with the amount of spot art in the book, 424 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,040 like one more tiny little piece would have been totally fine. 425 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,480 I. Kind of agree with that, yeah. 426 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,720 But basic terms, these are terms in the game. 427 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,520 We're not going to go over them. But if things like what is a 428 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,520 player, what is a game master was an attribute, it doesn't say 429 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,840 what is. It just says like player 430 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,120 characters or and then gives you a little thing for all of them. 431 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:45,320 So non player characters help XP, just an explainer. 432 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,560 So for people that haven't played a bunch of games, that's 433 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,560 fine. This is like the kind of best 434 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,200 way you can do what is a role-playing game, Just give the 435 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,840 terms that people might need and that's it. 436 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,760 And then we get to rolling the dice. 437 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,280 So this is the core mechanic of the game basically. 438 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,640 And I love the way that it's kind of laid out through the 439 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,400 entire book where you'll get a header at the top. 440 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,680 It says rolling the dice, and then you'll get kind of like a 441 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,080 bolded little section for for what the section is. 442 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,120 And this says when a player character to something dangerous 443 00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:16,240 on certain or contested, use the dice to find out how well it 444 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,280 goes. You'll roll the dice and add one 445 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,200 of your attributes to get a final result, then use that 446 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,600 result to figure out what happens next. 447 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,280 And then what they do a lot is number sections and then explain 448 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,120 stuff as you go. So there's four parts to this. 449 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:31,000 It's describe what you want to do and how you do it. 450 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,240 Pick the attribute, pick the most appropriate of the four 451 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,840 attributes, talk about the potential outcomes, and then 452 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,400 roll the dice. And when you roll the dice, it's 453 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,040 2D6 plus, you know, an attribute or whatever. 454 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,400 So on a 10 or higher success, you get what you want. 455 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,320 On a 7 to 9 complication, you get what you want. 456 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,880 But if some cost reduce effect, difficult choice or harm, the GM 457 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,560 tells you what and on a six or less it's a miss. 458 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,320 You probably don't give what you want and the gym will make your 459 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,680 life more complicated. They'll tell you exactly what 460 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,320 happens. The good news is you earn one XP 461 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,000 and we'll get to that in advancement later. 462 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,560 If both dice come up with sixes, it's a critical success. 463 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,120 You give what you want and something extra. 464 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,920 If you have a skill relevant to the current situation, you may 465 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,760 choose to re roll one of the dice, but you take you must take 466 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,320 the second roll, use a new total for your result, and then the 467 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,200 game master never rolls the dice. 468 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,280 The the players are always ones that roll. 469 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,920 The game is about them and the risks that they take. 470 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,800 If an MPC attacks a player, the players one that rolls either to 471 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,240 avoid counter attack or something else. 472 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,160 If a player takes damage, it's usually because they roll the 473 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,680 dice and got a complication. I love that. 474 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,600 I feel like my the way I look at games and, and, and this 475 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,800 specific system and the way Chris does is extremely similar. 476 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,240 So, so many things are as we go through this, I'm like, yes, 477 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:46,120 yes, yes, That is how you say that. 478 00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:47,960 That's how you do it. And the rationale behind like 479 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,200 players roll the dice because the consequences are on them is 480 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,680 just great. Love it. 481 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,920 You know, I've never seen you and Crispy Wolf in the same 482 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,440 room, so yeah, who's to say we? Definitely don't look similar. 483 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,200 You can tell he's taller to see more camera. 484 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,120 So only role when it's interesting. 485 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,240 We don't need to get into that like consequences, like if if a 486 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,880 thing can just be done or it would take time to do a thing, 487 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,640 just it just fucking it's a thing. 488 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:14,920 Only role when it fucking matters. 489 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,880 And then nothing never happens. We've talked about that enough. 490 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,600 But it's a great core concept of the game. 491 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,800 And that's the core. That's the core of the game. 492 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:26,040 And honestly, everything on this page is my favorite core of a 493 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,520 game period. Love it. 494 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,760 It is again, it is the core of the world of dungeons, 495 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,600 basically. It is the core of fist, 496 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,280 basically. Like, it's great. 497 00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:36,880 I love it. This is a me game. 498 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,520 We've done a lot of you games for a while, like the ice cream 499 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,600 and everything. Yeah, but this, I love it. 500 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,640 So, attributes. Every PC has four of them 501 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,320 representing different ways they may change their four 502 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,760 attributes, right? They can go from -1 to +3. 503 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,000 The four attributes are Strength, Agility, Intelligence, 504 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,840 and Willpower. They are exactly what you think 505 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,360 you are. Willpower does. 506 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:06,200 It's not just determination, it's also like Charisma. 507 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,120 Yeah. Yeah, and your force of 508 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,000 personality, so you can like bark out orders, manipulate 509 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,040 people with it. I love that. 510 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,400 I think that's really neat. But otherwise, strength is and 511 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,240 agility, intelligence, exactly what you think they are. 512 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,680 I do like the way that they explain it though, like they 513 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,880 say, like what it is and how it can be used. 514 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,840 So for example of one, intelligence, perception, logic 515 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,480 and knowledge useful for analysis, messing with 516 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,440 technology and knowing stuff. So I like the way that they 517 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,960 break that down a lot of the through the entire book. 518 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,000 It's written in a way where it's very concise, but still 519 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,360 thorough. Like when you read it, like you 520 00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:40,880 get it. There's not anything through 521 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,040 this entire book where I was like, I don't quite get what 522 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,600 they're saying. I just think it's. 523 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,760 A wealth it's. A wealth I again I I rather 524 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,840 really like this game skills. We talked about it at the 525 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,560 beginning and again I love this is a thing that we talked about 526 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,920 a bunch right before you. You should have a page like 527 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,440 this, like the rolling the dice page that gives you the core of 528 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,080 the game and and touches on all the parts of what you're going 529 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,320 to run into. And this page does where it 530 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,400 gives you the dice mechanics. It talks about skills. 531 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,080 It talks about all the stuff in a very small way. 532 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,040 And then you get full explanations later. 533 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,160 So you on that very first page, you have a good understanding 534 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,080 entire game. It talked about skills before 535 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,840 and now you get skills here. And what skills does is you have 536 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,160 it or you don't. And if you do have it, when you 537 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,720 make a roll, you can re roll one of the dice and you have to take 538 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,760 that second roll, which I think is a really fucking cool way to 539 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,960 do it. Basically gives you advantage 540 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,960 like at choice for a skill you have. 541 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:43,160 There are 8 skills, athletics, culture, manipulation, pilot, 542 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,120 science, sneak, survival, and tech. 543 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,560 All of which you can guess what they do. 544 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,960 Yep. And also very simple. 545 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,080 They have like a, the skills all have like a very short 546 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,000 description and it just is like a category of things that you 547 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,600 have a specialty in, which means that if you want to make up your 548 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,160 own, it would be pretty, pretty effortless, you know? 549 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,200 Super fucking easy. Yeah, abilities, player 550 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,760 characters and off world will start with two. 551 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,760 You may get more later. And they are special tricks 552 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,160 done, something that you get that bends the rules a little 553 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,640 bit. And those are described later in 554 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,640 classes. When you get to the making an 555 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,680 off world section on the next page, I have a note in my notes 556 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,720 that says, I wanted to talk about this again as we go 557 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,240 through this. I'm like, this is just really 558 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,000 well done because how many times we read through a book that's 559 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,400 like, you'll find this below, but like it's a book. 560 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,760 So it's actually in the page next to you or the above you or 561 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,040 it's not below you. So yeah, this is the way to talk 562 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,360 about navigation in a book. Don't say it's below or it's 563 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,840 above or something. Writing in docs and shit where 564 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,160 it's just it's continue to Scroll down, you know, yeah, 565 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,200 you. Forget when they did physically. 566 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,080 In their hands, that's not. Exactly. 567 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,000 So this is just a small thing where it's like the next page 568 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,720 because it's just the next page, which is great. 569 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,240 Then we get to the making an off worlder page. 570 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,320 So I love this, you know, we love a good numbered list. 571 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,560 There's 6 steps to making a character. 572 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,920 And then on this page you also get customizing classes and 573 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,800 aliens. So why don't you? 574 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,880 Do you want to make one as we just run through this real 575 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,160 quick? I'd love to. 576 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:17,960 Pretty, pretty easy, straightforward. 577 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,880 So number one is pick a class. So there's four classes. 578 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,880 We'll we'll pick whichever 1 you pick is the one we'll go over 579 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,480 when we get to it. So there's warrior, outlaw, 580 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,560 geek, and psychic. Pick one. 581 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,400 Psychic. Psychic, I'm shocked. 582 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,840 Your class gives you a few unique abilities to choose from. 583 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,760 You pick any 2. As we said, you get 2. 584 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,240 So when we get to, we'll run through this a little bit and 585 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,320 then we'll hop in and you'll pick two of your abilities. 586 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,880 Actually, no, fuck it, let's just pick your abilities. 587 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,280 Now. Let's just run down and we'll go 588 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,840 to psychic. So I love the way that the 589 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,920 character sheets are that little things are. 590 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,520 There's two per sheet and there's a piece of art next to 591 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080 each one. So the geek has kind of like a 592 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,720 scientist looking person next to it, the Outlaw does. 593 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,160 And even the layout on the sheet I love. 594 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,320 Again, it's a three column layout. 595 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,440 So the middle and right column have stuff in it and the whole 596 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,600 left side column has art in it and just looks good. 597 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:16,320 It's really good. Yeah, layout layout. 598 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,400 But that's not definitely the word you're looking for. 599 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,320 But. It looks a good grid layout. 600 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,200 It's really well done. So we got Geek, we got Outlaw, 601 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,720 we got Psychic. So all the classes are really 602 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,200 good. They really enjoy each of them. 603 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,000 They have fun abilities. Yeah. 604 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,800 So psychic psychics possess supernatural mental abilities. 605 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,400 Yeah, you're psychic. That's that's the thing I do. 606 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,640 Like in this game, it says at one point or another, there 607 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,120 aren't inherently like aliens. That's a decision that you you 608 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:50,680 make your table and if you want to have aliens, maybe you like 609 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,840 it doesn't give you any bonuses. Maybe like all psychics are like 610 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,760 of an alien race or all warriors are of like a cast of alien 611 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,240 warriors. And I really thought it was a 612 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,440 fun way to do it. But yeah, for psychic like to 613 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:06,640 pick two abilities, right. So obviously I'm going to pick 614 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,200 premonition because I think it's a fun one. 615 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,920 Once per day, you can just ask the GM about an outcome of an 616 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,400 action. And the instance they give is 617 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,080 what will happen when I open the store. 618 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,960 And I just like that I can just, you know, and then James, just 619 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,880 to tell you most likely what will happen, honestly. 620 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,800 So I'll probably take that one because I think it's fun to know 621 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,920 what's going to happen in the section before it happens. 622 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:33,280 And then I don't know, man. I'm thinking maybe maybe jump or 623 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,640 scanners. Jump is like you can teleport 624 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,000 once a scene to a nearby location and scanners, you can 625 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,360 easily read surface emotions, and you have the ability to roll 626 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,040 intelligence to read deeper thoughts like specifically 627 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:49,040 searching for information. What do you think? 628 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,680 What's one of those? It's funny because those are 629 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,760 probably the two that I wouldn't take really, but I'm a combat 630 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,080 boy. I'm a combat boy. 631 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,040 I would take telekinesis or blast I think but forced all 632 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,480 this pretty. Dope I almost shooting with my 633 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,480 brain. Listen, you gotta you gotta 634 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,800 question something. Scanner. 635 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,240 Then we're reading. Scanners are good. 636 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,280 Well, premonition and scanner really work well together. 637 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,280 Yeah. I think it's kind of like, I 638 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,000 don't know if they meant to do it this way, but I feel like the 639 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,080 three on the left and the three on the right are kind of like a 640 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,680 separation. So you got blast, which, you 641 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,720 know, brain blast. You got force wall and jump. 642 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,320 Those feel like very much like, yeah, doing physical things kind 643 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,720 of. And then the premonition scanner 644 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,160 and telekinesis feels like very mental things and it's all with 645 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,440 your brain, but it still feels different. 646 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,760 So premonition scanner think works really well together. 647 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,120 Those are good. You big Jimmy Neutron fan. 648 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,200 I mean, you know, I'm a big fan of Jimmy Neutron's mom. 649 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,520 I don't know, but hey, hey, buddy. 650 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,560 So anyway, so you picked us number one, you pick a class, 651 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,120 you picked psychic and you pick you pick two abilities, Scanner 652 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,400 and Premonition, right? Yes. 653 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:57,440 So then you choose two skills. So we have the list again up 654 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,080 here Athletics, culture, manipulation, pilot, science, 655 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,800 sneak, survival and tech. Which two skills you. 656 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,360 Know so I was going to go ahead and take tech and manipulation. 657 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,120 I thought manipulation would be great for that character, so 658 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:08,680 that's awesome. I'm. 659 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,360 Definitely going with kind of like a sport non combat 660 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:12,800 character. It sounds like it. 661 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially with tech, the you 662 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,680 can kind of, not only are you in people's brains or in machine 663 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,080 brains, Yeah. So a manipulation is great. 664 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:22,600 You can convince people what to do. 665 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,040 Like, I think they all kind of like work together, synergize, 666 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,560 you know, it's usually corporate speak. 667 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,520 My solid synergy. So yeah #3 you assign your 668 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:37,600 attribute so you have a an array here and it's plus 2 + 1 zero -1 669 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,600 standard for array. Love that shit. 670 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,400 Think about your class, what kind of things your character is 671 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,920 likely to do, etcetera etcetera. So with your 4 attributes, you 672 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,840 got strength. What was the second one? 673 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:51,440 Agility. Intelligence. 674 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,360 Willpower. Agility. 675 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,960 Yeah, Strength. Agility. 676 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,000 Intelligence. Willpower. 677 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,960 So where are you putting 4? I think we're doing 2IN 678 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:03,720 intelligence, of course, one in willpower. 679 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,480 What are the numbers? I have already blanked and I 680 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,400 have a 0 and -1 right? Yeah. 681 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,480 So we'll go 0 and agility and -1. 682 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,719 Strength, yeah, that's kind of what I figured it'd go. 683 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:14,719 Yeah. And that I mean that fits the 684 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,480 character so well. All that and there there is 685 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,120 options for advancement and we'll get to those. 686 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,280 I will say real quick before we go back down to Oh no, no, no, 687 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:26,440 it's on the next page. So we don't need to. 688 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,440 So so that's number three of six. 689 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,760 Number four is record your health. 690 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,840 Each PC has a maximum health equal to 12 plus their strength 691 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,760 and agility together. So you have 12 I. 692 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,760 Have. 11, you have 11, yeah. If you look at the example I 693 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,520 have, it's your example from the example. 694 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,840 Yeah, it's literally the example because it says if PC with +2 695 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,520 strength in it and plus one agility is 15, but APC with 0 696 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,719 strength and -1 agility, which inflict what you did is 11 697 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,000 health. So you start with 11. 698 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,840 Yeah #5 is get your gear. You start with three supply. 699 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,640 Supply is like my favorite thing in the entire world. 700 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:02,960 Yeah, I. Saw this in here. 701 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,800 I'm like, yeah, this is such a Ryan game. 702 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,480 It is it's in it's in Derf from Boven. 703 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,520 It's in I think it's just what gear in the vanilla game from 704 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,760 Gear Sinclair. It's in a couple of things, but 705 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,120 it's quantum. It's it's quantum inventory. 706 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,920 Basically supply is an abstract amount representing any items 707 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,560 you might be carrying. Gears explained in Money, 708 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,680 Weapons and gear on page 11. Oh, is that hyperlinked? 709 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:34,000 Oh, that's not hyperlinked, so no inline hyperlinks, but it is 710 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,520 bolded and it gives you the page number and it's only like 20 711 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,120 pages. So not, we're not going to, I 712 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,000 mean, we want to deduct anything for that, but just something to 713 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:42,440 point out a little bit. Could use a couple more 714 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,280 hyperlinks in here. So there we go. 715 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,080 Done. Use zeros across the board. 716 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,240 So you get you start with three credits, you start with one 717 00:35:52,240 --> 00:35:54,640 light weapon, describe it. So just whatever the fuck you 718 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,400 want, right? Then choose either an additional 719 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:03,800 7 credits or light armor worth 1 armor and we'll get armor in a 720 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,640 second and a second weapon of any type. 721 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,760 So are you getting more money or are you getting armor and a 722 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:19,800 second weapon? Oh man, I think I'd probably do 723 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,680 more money. That's what I kind of thought it 724 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,640 sounds armor and a second weapon for your for your like non 725 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,400 combat support character doesn't quite fit. 726 00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:35,600 So and credits report. We'll get to that in money. 727 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,000 So you you start with 10 credits, which is crazy. 728 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:39,760 That's a lot. Of ton. 729 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,360 That's actually a ton in this game. 730 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,560 In this game. It goes a very long way so. 731 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,760 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And because it's, again, it's 732 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,920 abstracted, which which I love, yeah. 733 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,600 But we'll get to that in a little bit. 734 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,000 And then name your name and describe your character. 735 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:55,880 Come up with a name for your character and share with the 736 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,320 other players. Come up with at least one 737 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,440 distinctive visual detail, can be clothing, body, possessions, 738 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,160 anything, just to get a, a mental picture. 739 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,960 That's number six. What you got? 740 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:11,120 I got xylon blow bracks because he's named. 741 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,160 Blow. Blow. 742 00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:13,040 Yep. You got it. 743 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,760 Yep. There's no way you would go with 744 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,080 blow Brax because people would just call you blowbacks like. 745 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,400 All the time. Exactly the point. 746 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,360 Yeah. Zylon blows backs, bro. 747 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,880 Yeah. Yeah. 748 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:26,200 You fell with my trap there, buddy. 749 00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,760 You activated my trap card. Yeah. 750 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,440 He's got one eye on his forehead, but it's, it's, you 751 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:40,640 know, it's fucking. What are the words can I say? 752 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,440 So you're so you're Yamcha. Yamcha. 753 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,560 Oh, am I thinking of the wrong one? 754 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,360 From Dragon Ball Z. Oh no, that's the thing. 755 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,840 From Fucking Yu Yu Haka show you. 756 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,720 No, no, no, no, no, no. It's not Yamcha, it's the other 757 00:37:57,720 --> 00:37:59,000 one. Is it Tian? 758 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,880 Oh, Tian, Yeah, it's Tian. Tian is not. 759 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,600 That's absolutely true actually. I fucking love TN too, so yeah. 760 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,440 TN's great, but he's just sideways. 761 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,960 Yours is up and down. Though, Yeah, so you're. 762 00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,640 Like a navigator from from from Warhammer 40,000. 763 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,520 Oh, OK for a second, like you say, navigator from Dune, I'm 764 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,280 like, no, they're worm. No, they're not worm. 765 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,720 Dune. They're like good fishy guys in 766 00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:22,640 the tank. Yeah, do you know TN is like 767 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,800 descended from aliens and shit? That's why he's not. 768 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,840 Is that is that Canon? Yeah, he's his lady. 769 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:30,560 Like he's descended from aliens, bro. 770 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,720 Look it up. TN Shinhan. 771 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:40,080 Yeah, so anyway, while you look it up and and realize that I'm 772 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,400 right that he is in from Aliens, I'll talk about customizing 773 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,680 classes and aliens. So customizing classes, 774 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,200 experienced players may want more flexibility becomes making 775 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:47,840 a kick. Thank you. 776 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,920 If everyone agrees, players can ignore the listed classes 777 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,480 entirely and make a character simply by choosing any 2 skills 778 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,440 and any 2 special abilities. Players should communicate and 779 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,320 make those without too much overlap, which is great. 780 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:00,840 I love that. Basically like you can just go 781 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,720 classless and just make it a pick, Pick and choose which is 782 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:06,760 great. And then aliens, yes. 783 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,800 Thanks what you're saying and I have a minor complaint. 784 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,120 OK, aliens off worlders don't have specific rules for alien 785 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,760 species. As a group you should decide 786 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,960 amongst yourselves if aliens exist blah blah blah blah blah. 787 00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,120 Maybe all psychics are from one species, or all warriors are 788 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,680 from 1. You know, you got you got the 789 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,400 not Namekians, that's why I said the Nietzscheans. 790 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,640 Nietzscheans. So what's your 1 complaint? 791 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,080 So the classes. Yes. 792 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:39,280 In this sci-fi space game, yes, Are geek totally outlaw, 793 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,840 sidekick makes sense and Warrior. 794 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,400 Well, let's read the top of Warrior and see if it says it. 795 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,240 Warriors are soldiers and bounty hunters. 796 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,080 All of their abilities provide an edge in combat. 797 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,360 Play a warrior if you want to be straightforward and violent. 798 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,520 So it sounds to me like your complaint is the word warrior 799 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,040 feels a little bit medieval. It does if it is a very medieval 800 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,080 fantasy class title, you know, I just think that there's like a 801 00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,520 Merc or a bounty hunter or soldier or. 802 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,200 Opposite but it's literally saying that soldiers it. 803 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,520 Like I feel like warrior is a pretty is a catch all for 804 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,320 everything you just said as opposed to just being one of 805 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,840 those things. But I don't necessarily 806 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:20,640 disagree. I think. 807 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,480 I think even Fighter would sound a little bit more sci-fi. 808 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,920 Yeah, maybe. Yeah. 809 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,040 I still think there's more sci-fi than that. 810 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,720 That's my only. It's such a minor complaint. 811 00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:31,400 I do really like this game in the classes a lot. 812 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,480 Very fun and interesting. Yeah, but like. 813 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:35,840 To counter your claim a little bit. 814 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:40,080 So it's it's geek specifically so that it's not saying doctor, 815 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,320 scientist or technician. It's outlaw. 816 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,400 So you don't have to say smuggler, scoundrel, a Jack of 817 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,240 all trades. Like it's, I mean psychic, 818 00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,080 psychic, but then warrior. So you don't have to specify 819 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,600 soldier, bounty hunter. I, I feel like it's, it's, it's 820 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,640 as it is as broad as you could get while still covering which I 821 00:40:54,720 --> 00:40:57,320 which I do like. Because you can then pick. 822 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,720 Bounty hunter or a mercenary? You called it mercenary. 823 00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:02,920 A mercenary could also be a soldier or a bounty hunter. 824 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,640 So I mean. Theoretically, yeah, but it 825 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:05,720 does. I feel like that's just one 826 00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:07,240 layer in. I agree. 827 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:11,080 If you were to go out right now and you went out to like a group 828 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,760 of like, of like members of our, our armed forces and you called 829 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,240 them a bunch of warriors, they would be like, you know, except 830 00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:20,680 the one corny guy who's like, yeah, I'm a warrior bro, You 831 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:21,320 know what I mean? I. 832 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,960 Feel like they would be. I feel like they would. 833 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,880 They would. I hear what you're saying. 834 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,520 I think it's valid. I think it's valid. 835 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,160 I personally don't think I would like zoom in any more than like 836 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,560 fighter. Yeah, but. 837 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,520 I still think keeping it up in the air to be like you're a 838 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,280 thing that's encompasses several things, yeah. 839 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,200 Yeah, but I mean, I don't necessarily the warrior thing 840 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,960 doesn't bother me. But you're right, in the context 841 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,160 of tip top role-playing games, warrior does feel a little bit 842 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:54,800 fantasy, but but that's valid. I think that's very valid. 843 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,360 So after the making an off roller thing, there is a 844 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,760 character sheet here. Well, it's like a it's like a 845 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,880 Gray box that says player characters, the crew of the 846 00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,880 Quiche Lorraine, which is a ship and we'll say that again later. 847 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:16,720 And it gives 4 basically like character sheets for four, like 848 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,280 fake characters, you know, like example characters. 849 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:23,800 So there's K the Warrior, Ria the outlaw, Imani the psychic, 850 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,320 and Trixie the geek. And it lists all of those 851 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,720 things, including the gear they chose, their appearance, things 852 00:42:28,720 --> 00:42:31,240 like that. So their psychic was Imani, 853 00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,400 their appearance was their body covered in biomechanical 854 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,160 implants. They also picked scanner and 855 00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,400 premonition, and they also picked manipulation, but they 856 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,080 only, but they pick culture. And they did strength -1 they, 857 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,440 oh, they did willpower too, instead of intelligence too, 858 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,440 because willpower is manipulating. 859 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,120 So that makes sense. And the health 11 so. 860 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,680 And they're the so very similar to the character you made. 861 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,520 So yeah, interesting that, you know, you you kept kind of true 862 00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,960 to at least what the game intent was for for their example of 863 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,120 like. Credits instead of taking a 864 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,480 second weapon. So you, I think that that's neat 865 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,640 because it makes sense to be like the way that the designer 866 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,720 thought about Psychic is what you got from Psychic 2, which I 867 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:16,520 think is good. I think there's only space for 868 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,680 making a bad like a battle psychic though. 869 00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:20,480 Like there's definitely room for that in this. 870 00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,480 This absolutely I wanted to do. You know, yeah, but no, I think 871 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,160 if you took like the armor, the weapons, you took blast and 872 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,280 force wall, you know, put it all into strength and manipulation, 873 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:32,920 Yeah, that would. Jump, move around the 874 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,560 battlefield and just, like, fire it. 875 00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,720 Yeah, could be crazy. Could be sick, you know, blast 876 00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:38,800 and jump together to be sick. Just like teleport and like 877 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,880 fucking blast and shit. That's cool but you only get it 878 00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:41,280 once. But. 879 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,520 Lightning. Fighting in damage. 880 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,960 So again, I love the way the book is structured because we 881 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,360 got the rolling the dice page, which gave us like an 882 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,320 explanation of the core mechanics of of the game. 883 00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:53,880 Then we got the rules. You need to understand how your 884 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,200 character works. Then you get to character 885 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,200 creation, which we went over, which includes classes and 886 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,760 skills and everything, and then you get the rest of the rules of 887 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,280 the game. That's literally like the best 888 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,760 way to put a game together, at least in in, in the opinions 889 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,720 that we've come to our. Completely correct and 890 00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:13,640 unquestionable opinions, you know. 891 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:14,800 Exactly. Exactly. 892 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,840 So fighting a damage resolve fights just like any other risky 893 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,920 situation. When a player attacks an enemy 894 00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,880 who is prepared to defend themselves, you should roll 895 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,400 dice. When an enemy opens fire on a 896 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,480 player, the player will be rolling the dice to avoid the 897 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:33,600 attack or counter it somehow. There is no formal structure of 898 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,600 turns around, you simply follow the action as it unfolds. 899 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:37,920 I love this. I fucking love this. 900 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,960 I'm still so much of this game. So when a player takes damage, 901 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,680 it will usually because of a miss or a complication outside 902 00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,720 of a fight. You can take damage from other 903 00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:52,320 things, but again, usually from like the consequences of the 904 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,160 actions that you choose. Which is like anyway. 905 00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,240 When players damage NPCS, they inflict damage as indicated by 906 00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,840 the type of weapon they are using. 907 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,320 For instance, a heavy weapon does 1 E 6 + 2 damage, and we'll 908 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:07,840 get to weapons in just a minute. Someone don't deep into that. 909 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,720 Enemies and hazards inflict damage against PCs in the same 910 00:45:10,720 --> 00:45:12,760 way. Roll for damage and subtract the 911 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:17,960 result from the PCs Health, Health and dying Health is a 912 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,040 measure of how much damage a character can take before 913 00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,280 they're in big trouble. When ANPC reaches 0 health, 914 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,040 they're out of action. When APC reaches 0 health, 915 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,480 they're in serious trouble. They must roll the dice with the 916 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,960 results below. And they add so it's a it's a 917 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,240 roll plus will a willpower. So on A10 plus you're down both 918 00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:37,080 rest and care. You'll make a full recovery. 919 00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:39,800 On a 7 and 9 you will live. But the player must choose some 920 00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,840 part of the character that gets lost forever. 921 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,680 For example, the steadiness in their hands, their sense of 922 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,440 security, or their left eye. This has no direct mechanical 923 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,960 effect, but might make life difficult or complicate 924 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,160 situations in the future. Love that, love that. 925 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,360 Just extract. Away losing self Yeah, my love 926 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,800 from from my fellow man Yep. Yeah, same bro, same. 927 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:02,360 But I love that. I love that that's exactly what 928 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:03,760 you could do. It can infect you. 929 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,160 If you're like a big RP are losing something in RP would be 930 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,760 a big deal. But if you're someone who leans 931 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,680 a little bit more mechanically, be like, well, I use my right 932 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,120 arm and now I can only use one handed weapons or something, you 933 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,880 know what I mean? Like I love the abstraction of 934 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,600 that six or less. The PC is doomed. 935 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,480 They might not die right away and they might get a chance to 936 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,280 do one last thing before they go, but they will not live to 937 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:28,800 the end of the game session. Love that shit, Love that shit. 938 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,080 I also love the idea that they don't die right away, but they 939 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,640 could just be like limping and slowly bleeding out the entire 940 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,520 time. I movies like that, books like 941 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,000 that, shows like that where someone like like they're still 942 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000 trying to save you get all the way to the end and right before 943 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,800 you get saved like you died. Love that shit. 944 00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:43,480 It's great. Yeah, I agree. 945 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:48,080 Very high drama, you know? Yeah, armor medicates incoming 946 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,280 damage. It's in the gear section. 947 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,320 Basically, it's armor one, or armor 2, or I guess Armor 3-4, 948 00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,800 etcetera, etcetera, or whatever. If a character's wearing armor, 949 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,800 they subtract their total armor amount from any incoming damage. 950 00:46:59,720 --> 00:47:01,880 If the damage is equal to or low, it's soak. 951 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,160 It's armor soak and recovering health. 952 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:05,240 There are two ways to recover health. 953 00:47:05,240 --> 00:47:07,640 You have first aid. If you have a few quiet minutes, 954 00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:12,160 you can spend one supply to heal another character for one D6 of 955 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,320 health, not yourself, and then resting. 956 00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,280 If the character gets equivalent of a good night's sleep, they 957 00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,920 recover health equal to half their maximum health, rounded 958 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:19,960 up. That's it. 959 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:25,760 Straightforward, great money, gear and weapons. 960 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,720 So tracking every little piece of equipment and every penny is 961 00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:33,200 not necessary. Most equipment is covered by 962 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,560 supply, otherwise you get credits. 963 00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,040 The currency, the base of currency is credits, and one 964 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,760 credit represents A relatively substantial amount of money. 965 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,200 So that's really all you have to track. 966 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,880 So things worth one credit, A light weapon is worth one 967 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,080 credit. A substantial bribe is worth a 968 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,800 credit. An opulent night out. 969 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,280 I'm a few weeks in a mid range apartment. 970 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,960 So a credit is a lot of money. It's like 1000 bucks in my in my 971 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,160 brain. I went 1000 bucks. 972 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,480 Like so you start with like you start with like 10,000 bucks. 973 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,240 It's crazy. There's a list here of more 974 00:48:03,240 --> 00:48:06,400 expensive items. So a new spacesuit is 3 credits. 975 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,040 Passage to a nearby star system is 12 credits. 976 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,640 A small space station is 5000 credits. 977 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,000 So you can already get passage. You can already almost get 978 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,920 passed into a nearby star system and you're halfway to an average 979 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:25,560 ground car. One important thing that we'll 980 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:28,960 talk about in a little bit is a spaceship upgrade is 50 credits. 981 00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,200 So that tells you how a big deal it is. 982 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:33,760 Yeah. But they're fairly substantial. 983 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,400 You know, yeah, they're big supply. 984 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:40,360 So we talked about those before. Supply is an abstract thing. 985 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,280 It it it off rollers assumes you're carrying all the 986 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,560 necessary shit you have. So instead of choosing 987 00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,040 everything you need you can just abstract with supply. 988 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,000 You begin with three. You can spend one supply at any 989 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:55,400 time to produce a mundane item or item of similar complexity. 990 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,160 You you refill your supply whenever you have some downtime. 991 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,400 Your maximum supply is always 3 and you can spend 1 to half 992 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,040 anything like 50 feet of cable, a blowtorch, a small explosive, 993 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,960 a multi tool. Basically like any of the shit 994 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,240 that you would know if you're a geek and you need your fucking 995 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,920 like sprocket fucking wrench or some shit, you have it. 996 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,480 You just say I have it on me. My supply is 1. 997 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,680 I love that. I will always love supply. 998 00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,120 Better than like having to try to like pick and choose every 999 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,080 fucking thing you have on me. If you have the thing, if you're 1000 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,920 whatever you would need for your character, you just have it. 1001 00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,000 It's fine. Thoughts on supply? 1002 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,360 Yeah, it's always a great role. I mean, it's it's definitely, I 1003 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,680 really appreciate it. I mean, in some systems I like 1004 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,840 having inventories and then some systems I'm like, supply is a 1005 00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,720 way better option. I think this is like clearly the 1006 00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:43,880 latter of those. It is a way better option for 1007 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,200 this. Like, why would you keep track 1008 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,680 of everything? This is so about the fiction, 1009 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:49,640 you know? Yeah. 1010 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,440 Yeah, when when basically everything else is abstracted in 1011 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,640 the game, like wounds, like health is just an abstraction, 1012 00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,720 Credits are an abstraction, like everything is abstraction. 1013 00:49:57,720 --> 00:49:59,520 There's no reason to. Have a real issue with like 1014 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,960 inventory management is in games where like, yeah, like obviously 1015 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,040 a lot of rules are inherently an abstraction to like a, a 1016 00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:10,800 simulating and thing happening. But like, when so much is like 1017 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:12,840 behind the fiction and it's based on that, and then they're 1018 00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,640 like, and then you're going to count all your fucking bullets 1019 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,040 and I'm like, fuck you. Why would I do that in this one? 1020 00:50:17,720 --> 00:50:19,400 Exactly. I'm running OSE right now. 1021 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,640 And that one feels a lot more appropriate to have. 1022 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,320 Like, no, dude, you got 20 errors. 1023 00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,520 Like this is the rule of scarcity in this, you know. 1024 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,040 Yes, Yeah, yeah, because this isn't a dungeon crawler where, 1025 00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:33,200 like, you're stuck and don't have access to just like you go 1026 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:34,480 into fucking sleep or going to the store. 1027 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,720 You know what I mean? Like, makes sense in those 1028 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,480 things. And like, it can be fun in those 1029 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,440 things. Like, you can have a whole game 1030 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,280 literally just built around like, make sure you have exactly 1031 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,760 what you need in the dungeon because you're fucked if you 1032 00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,440 lose all your torches. Like, that makes sense. 1033 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:47,840 But you're right. Like in a game like this when 1034 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:49,200 everything's abstracted is pointless. 1035 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:56,760 So heavy items. Some things are heavy, they're 1036 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,920 large, they're clumsy. PC must take -1 anytime they 1037 00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,240 roll the dice to do something like run, jump or climb while 1038 00:51:02,240 --> 00:51:06,040 carrying a heavy item, and it's also difficult to hide. 1039 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,240 Heavy can cause complications. Boom, love that. 1040 00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,920 Yeah, there's page. This is the other page. 1041 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,200 I was, I was talking about that like I'm like the only other 1042 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:22,000 page I'm not the hugest fan of. So it's the gear page and it's 1043 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:26,360 it's, but it crosses the middle and right column in the three 1044 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,200 column layout, even though it isn't separating the three 1045 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:29,640 columns. And then there's a picture of 1046 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:33,920 the quiche Lorraine underneath, but the entire left column is 1047 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,400 empty. And to me, like even like, you 1048 00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,280 know how on like the what does this need page? 1049 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,960 It did the two columns, but then like the art on the top kind of 1050 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,960 spread into all three. If they would have just kind of 1051 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:48,480 instead of this touching the mid of the page on the right, if 1052 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:52,080 they moved it so it's going across all three, I think it 1053 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:53,920 would just be it would just look a little bit better. 1054 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,680 It just feels like a little bear on this page. 1055 00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:00,280 And it's also, I think one of the only pieces of art that 1056 00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,640 breaks the margin and touches the the middle. 1057 00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,400 What would be the middle of the page? 1058 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,760 Or like the edge of the page that's not a full page piece? 1059 00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,280 OK, I got you. So I think if it is just pulled 1060 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,920 into the margin and spread to the the other margin, I think it 1061 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:17,480 would just look a little bit better. 1062 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:22,240 But that's such AI mean that that's like such a small gripe 1063 00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,680 in the context of like how well the whole rest of the book is 1064 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,440 laid out. I know like all of our gripes 1065 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:28,680 about this are going to be fairly small, like this is a 1066 00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,520 pretty solid, this is a pretty solid product and game, you 1067 00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:33,720 know? Yeah, for sure. 1068 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,800 So gear. There's three things listed. 1069 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,040 Weapons, armor, and ship items. I like the way that the weapons 1070 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,360 work. There's unarmored, light, medium 1071 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,280 and heavy, A list of credits, the damage, and some notes. 1072 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:49,880 So unarmed. Unarmed damage is lower of 2D6. 1073 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,280 Light is 1D6, medium is 1 D 6 + 1. 1074 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,480 Heavy is 1 D 6 + 2. Classic. 1075 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:56,720 You've seen it in other systems. Love it. 1076 00:52:56,720 --> 00:52:58,680 It's great. And then it lists what those 1077 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:00,720 things are like. Unarmed just kicks and punches 1078 00:53:00,720 --> 00:53:02,760 all the way up to heavy with just plasma cannons and shit. 1079 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,440 Armor. Light Heavy and Assault 123 Yes. 1080 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,120 Random thought, what was the game that we went over that had 1081 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,200 like vastly different damages for each weapon? 1082 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,160 Swibers right? Wasn't it? 1083 00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,560 Was it Swibers? I need to go back to it. 1084 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:21,360 I kind of liked it, you know? Yeah, well, cuz Swibers does 1085 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,560 weird shit to do weird shit, which I loved Yeah, but I'm 1086 00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:26,520 pretty sure that's one where it's like you'll randomly have 1087 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:29,920 like it's like 1 is like 2D12 one is like. 1088 00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:32,240 Yeah. Yeah, I think that's what you're 1089 00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:33,720 talking about. There might be something else. 1090 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:36,560 Something's tickling my brain a tiny bit, but. 1091 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:43,520 But, but yeah. And then ship items, there's 1092 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,800 Starship, Dr. fuels, Starship upgrades and hull repairs, which 1093 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,480 are important because we will talk about those in the ship 1094 00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:49,640 stuff just now, right here. So. 1095 00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:50,760 And a picture of the keys, Lorraine. 1096 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,560 So then we get to the ship. Is it is that what you were 1097 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,200 thinking of Swibers? Yeah. 1098 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:00,240 I don't know if that's what you're looking. 1099 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,120 At no, that's not. That's not what I'm thinking of. 1100 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,320 It is. Was it wolf walled? 1101 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,880 No, it wasn't wolf old. Are you sure it wasn't wolf old? 1102 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,920 I'm I'm 100% positive it wasn't wolf old. 1103 00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,200 It was this year was. What's up? 1104 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,000 Was it this year? Yes, it was a weird one. 1105 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,880 Keep reading this I'm the I'll. I'll have the answer in about 1106 00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:23,520 two minutes. I know exactly what what it is. 1107 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,840 You can't think of the name. OK, so the ship so the players 1108 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:29,160 begin with a small spaceship. It's big enough for all of them 1109 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:33,160 to live on with a few additional passengers when necessary, and 1110 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,600 the PCs control the ship with using their attributes and 1111 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:37,680 skills. It's capable of flying between 1112 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,440 planets in a few hours and a flying faster than light to 1113 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,520 traverse the space between stars in a matter of weeks when it 1114 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,040 comes with the spacesuit for each PC. 1115 00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:48,680 So you got a creating the ship section, a ship up, and a ship 1116 00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:51,240 upgrade section controlling the ship travel and maintenance 1117 00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:52,840 here. So quick run through of how that 1118 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:57,080 works. I will say real quick, I do love 1119 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,080 the fact that you start with the Starship. 1120 00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:00,640 Yeah. And like, especially because 1121 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:06,920 like, I've gone through Traveler a few times and like, the 1122 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,320 gameplay loop is so locked into the fact that you get a 1123 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:11,520 spaceship that you're fucking trying to pay off desperately 1124 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,120 while trying to keep it like in shape, that it feels like, I 1125 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,360 like that, but it feels like you're really locked into that. 1126 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:19,360 So it's nice for this when you're like, yeah, you just 1127 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:20,760 start with a spaceship. You just got to make sure you 1128 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,520 can pay for fuel. Yeah. 1129 00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,080 And any upgrades, any damage, anything like that. 1130 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:26,880 Yeah. I mean, yeah, Travellers, I 1131 00:55:27,480 --> 00:55:30,200 mean, the the core loop, it really is just about like you're 1132 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,040 you're so deeply in debt you can't ever stop. 1133 00:55:32,240 --> 00:55:35,880 You know, this one's not quite that. 1134 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,280 You could just. Sad simulator. 1135 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:45,040 Yeah, you could just you could be running with it to to do 1136 00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,040 other adventures if you're a whole ship of Marks and stuff 1137 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,760 like that. So it doesn't quite loop you in 1138 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:51,320 the way Traveller does, but it that is an option to play if you 1139 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:52,680 want to play it that way, which is cool. 1140 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,120 So creating the ship real quick. By default it's a blank slate. 1141 00:55:56,160 --> 00:56:00,440 It has a small cargo hold 1D, does 1D6 damage and has 15 hull 1142 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,360 and has 0 armor and four Max dry fuel and begins fueled. 1143 00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,800 To make the ship, the player simply select 2 upgrades which 1144 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:12,080 we'll get to in just a second. All upgrades will open new 1145 00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,240 opportunities for the players, and the type of jobs they get 1146 00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:19,120 will reflect their choices. The rules represent smaller 1147 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,000 starships like light freighters, frigates, and corvettes, about 1148 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,480 50 meters in length. That's about 150 feet for us 1149 00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,400 fucking Americans. The ship is large enough for 1150 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,160 everyone to live in together comfortably, but no larger. 1151 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,640 And of course, the players should choose a name something 1152 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,560 like The Desert Rose, The Good Grief or the Null Gravitas. 1153 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:41,760 That last one's good, by the way. 1154 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,520 It was Azag. Oh, so this was not this year. 1155 00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:48,200 It was not this year, it was last year, but that's definitely 1156 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,760 the one I was talking about. It does have super weird 1157 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,600 damages, doesn't it? Yeah, Like, lift them off. 1158 00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:59,520 You're looking at lift them off. Yeah, so dagger is 1 D 10 + 1. 1159 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:03,240 A sword IS3D4. Spear is 2 D 4 + 2. 1160 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:10,520 Staff is 1 D 6 + 2. Great Sword 3D6 Mall one D12 + 2 1161 00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:13,960 Yeah. It's weird. 1162 00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:15,960 It is. Yeah. 1163 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:18,200 I I remember liking it because I think we looked at the math and 1164 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:19,520 we're like it kind of mass out, right? 1165 00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,000 It can't make sense, right? With a dagger, yeah, the the 1166 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,880 floor for how little damage you could do is there and but you 1167 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,480 could fucking kill somebody with a dagger and then a mall is 1168 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,400 going to do more damage most of the time or whatever. 1169 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,880 Yeah, there was a logic to it that's off topic. 1170 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,640 How did we even get to that subject? 1171 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,520 We were talking about damage from the weapons being like 1 E 1172 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:40,320 6 + 1 and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. 1173 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,520 So ship upgrades. When you make your ship, you get 1174 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:45,360 2 upgrades marked with an asterisk. 1175 00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,520 May be taken twice, providing A cumulative bonus. 1176 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,440 Otherwise you only get one.

Everything else you can only 1184 00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:20,680 take once that you can. It's a nice spread to be able to 1185 00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:22,840 do really interesting things because if you decided if you're 1186 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,840 a ship full of mercs and you want to do additional armor a 1187 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,920 bunch of times, additional damage a bunch of times, some 1188 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:29,960 extra fuel tank and some high maneuverability for like your 1189 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,320 adventure games, you can totally do that. 1190 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,760 But if you do want to kind of loop in a traveler thing, you 1191 00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,360 could get the extra cargo hold, you could get the luxury 1192 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,160 passenger quarters and you could be more of like shuttling things 1193 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,560 and people around and things, which is really. 1194 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,040 Firefly thing and you can shuttle people around on your 1195 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,000 ship and maybe harbor fugitives and also be fugitives. 1196 00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,440 Yeah, and then also like randomly end up on like western 1197 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,560 themed planets and like, say, and a bunch of ladies and 1198 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,200 chicks.

Something like that, yeah. 1215 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:45,600 Yeah, so anyway, so controlling the ship, other than your 1216 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,160 damage, hull and armor, the ship does not have any attributes and 1217 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,160 the players control the ships with their own attributes and 1218 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:52,920 skill. Love that ship combat works the 1219 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,800 same as regular combat. You just subtract damage from 1220 00:59:55,800 --> 01:00:00,160 the hull and when the ship hole reaches 0, it is disabled and at 1221 01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:04,760 the mercy of your enemies. If a person is unlike enough to 1222 01:00:04,760 --> 01:00:07,640 be hit with the ship's weapon, multiply the total damage by 5. 1223 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,080 There you go. Travel. 1224 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:13,520 You can travel. Real quick, multiply damage by 5 1225 01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,320 means they're gonna fucking die. Yeah. 1226 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:17,200 Oh, yeah. Yeah. 1227 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:19,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1228 01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,680 Travel, you can. Maintenance, you can add a 1229 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,800 suitable spaceport. Hole damage can be repaired at 1230 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,840 the cost of one credit for two points of hole and then drive. 1231 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:33,160 Fuel cost 3 credits per unit and is available in any reasonably 1232 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,480 equipped port. A great piece of art here on the 1233 01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:40,040 side I know we the entire left hand column is basically this 1234 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:45,680 like small slice of like a mech factory or you just like. 1235 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,400 Ant or yeah, whatever. That's a gun probably. 1236 01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,840 Or like a turret. Yeah, that's definitely like the 1237 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,120 arm and that's definitely the leg. 1238 01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:55,240 And then you see these two little people at the bottom, 1239 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,520 like behind a railing. So it goes even lower before 1240 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,920 just kind of chatting it up. So love, love that. 1241 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,240 And again everything is like half toned and and the art is 1242 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,400 again fantastic without this entire book. 1243 01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:10,000 Yeah, I I really enjoyed this book visually so. 1244 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:12,560 Yeah, it's great character advancement. 1245 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,920 So if you play multiple sessions you can have advancement. 1246 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:19,280 And there's there are three ways you can earn XP so you can 1247 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:20,640 advance. One is rolling misses. 1248 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,440 Every time you roll A6 or less you gain 1 XP. 1249 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,600 It's very much I think. Does Troika do like the like you 1250 01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,960 get stuff on fails? I believe it. 1251 01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:36,600 I believe Troika does. Probably, yeah, I can't. 1252 01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,800 There's end of session questions, so like, you know, 1253 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,000 death in space and stuff and, and a lot of free league games 1254 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,480 do that. Or like at the end of a session, 1255 01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,560 you can answer the following three questions and if you say 1256 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:50,080 yes, you get one XP. Did we earn a profit? 1257 01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,320 Did we discover something new and interesting about the 1258 01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:53,800 universe? And did we overcome a difficult 1259 01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,120 challenge or dangerous adversary? 1260 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:57,120 So you can get up to three points at the end of a session 1261 01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,040 for those. And then during long trips is a 1262 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,560 really interesting 1. So basically this is your 1263 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,800 opportunity for RP downtime like a bunch of other stuff. 1264 01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:14,960 So basically the the way it works is you ask another player 1265 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:19,200 a question about themselves, something to learn about your 1266 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:21,200 crew members, your fellow crew members. 1267 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:26,240 And if they answer the question, you earn XP, you earn one XP. 1268 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:31,640 So it really encourages people to have conversations and to RP 1269 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,240 and to learn about each other, which causes you to also expand 1270 01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,120 your character and stuff. I love that. 1271 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:39,480 I think it's really, really interesting. 1272 01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,880 And then spending your XP advancements when APC has at 1273 01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,520 least 10 XP and some downtime, they can spend their 1274 01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,560 advancements. You can pick in any order, but 1275 01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:56,480 you can only take each one once, and that is get a new class 1276 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,880 ability you can take up to three times and then increase an 1277 01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:04,680 attribute by 1, and those are all worth to a maximum of two. 1278 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,320 Those are over 10. And then for 20 XP you can 1279 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,920 increase an attribute by 1 to a Max of +3. 1280 01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:16,840 So yeah, when PCs get close to maxing out their advancements, 1281 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,360 the player in GM should have a discussion about how to bring 1282 01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:22,280 the ongoing campaign to a satisfying conclusion. 1283 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,680 There you go, another dope piece of art which would be a full 1284 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:31,160 page spread for the game. Master of It just cracked me out 1285 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:37,440 that they're in space and the person behind the the ships 1286 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,200 pilot wheel, it's a wheel. It's an actual wheel, has their 1287 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,120 feet up, has their feet up on the dash and they're playing a 1288 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:48,080 game on their phone of the spaceship like blasting stuff. 1289 01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,560 I love that this is such a great piece of art. 1290 01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,600 The art stylist fantastic. The shading stylist. 1291 01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:55,960 Fantastic. Looks great, I really enjoy it. 1292 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,280 It's so good. So this is the whole Game Master 1293 01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,200 section. So we'll talk about a bit about 1294 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,600 parts of this, We'll cruise parts of it, but we're more than 1295 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,880 how we do the game here, the book here, so. 1296 01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,640 Way more than halfway. We're done essentially after 1297 01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:10,200 this. Yeah, we're like 2/3 way 1298 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:13,120 through, so the following sections are addressed to the 1299 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,160 Game Master. If you're planning on being the 1300 01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:16,920 Game Master for your group, you should read it. 1301 01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:19,120 If you're not planning on being the Game Master, you don't have 1302 01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:20,880 to read it, but you might find it interesting. 1303 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,160 I love that. Again, I love the hard fucking 1304 01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:27,360 line between the player stuff and the game master stuff for 1305 01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,680 since I'm not putting the whole spread, I should look before and 1306 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,040 added an extra page in. But that's the full page spread 1307 01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:35,760 and I love that it is like a 8 1/2 by 11, basically a four 1308 01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,960 fucking giant full page spread of art for the player section 1309 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:43,600 and the GM section too. That's you don't see that a ton 1310 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,720 like full book page spread across both. 1311 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:51,360 So as a gmef 3. So first is your goals As a gmef 1312 01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:53,040 3. Primary goals portray dangerous 1313 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,480 and exciting sci-fi universe feather characters lives with 1314 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:59,160 conflict and adventure and play. To find out what happens there 1315 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,600 are things you should do, which is ask the questions and use the 1316 01:05:01,600 --> 01:05:04,760 answers and prompt the players and let things snowball and 1317 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,480 respond to the dice and adjudicate abilities fairly. 1318 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:09,480 Again, some cool art throughout here. 1319 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,000 I love the pages that have like 2 columns and then the third 1320 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:14,840 column is just like a long strip of art. 1321 01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:16,320 I think that really looks fantastic. 1322 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:20,200 And this is a cool strip of the ship inside there's a die of 1323 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:21,600 fate. It's definitely like a whirl of 1324 01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,080 dungeons thing. Basically if you have a 1325 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:28,320 situation where you you are unsure and it could have like a 1326 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:32,320 binary answer like a yes or a no, roll AD 6 low. 1327 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,920 Is about it. Roll AD 6 about it. 1328 01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,720 High roll is a positive result, and lower the roll the worse the 1329 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:38,840 result. Boom, dunzo. 1330 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,040 Love it. Easy peasy. 1331 01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,400 Because in 2D6 makes. Except there's not really like 1332 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,280 nothing never happens, and for the most part you're not really 1333 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,600 going to get a binary thing. But if it really is like you do 1334 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:49,840 or you don't, just roll AD 6 about it. 1335 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,160 Yeah. So I'm not sure. 1336 01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,040 I just roll one anyway and I'm just like, the better the 1337 01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:56,400 result, the better the outcome. And if you're rolling the one, 1338 01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:58,040 something fucked up is going to happen, so. 1339 01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,000 Exactly. And if you're the six and some 1340 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,920 good, good, you got good stuff. So jobs a framework for your 1341 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,920 session. So this is this is kind of like 1342 01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:11,120 the core gameplay loop from like the GM standpoint of how to like 1343 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:15,840 build out your adventure. So basically you it's it's jobs. 1344 01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,120 A lot of times it says that players are troubleshooters, 1345 01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,080 mercenaries and free booters. So they get jobs. 1346 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,240 And a job is a simple list of events and facts centered around 1347 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:28,240 a particular goal or problem. The there's a, an example job 1348 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:29,880 here, it says a special delivery. 1349 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,400 So there's a list of like 4 job events. 1350 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,440 There's a list of two NPCS that have health, armor, damage, and 1351 01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,440 a little thing about them. And there's like 4 questions 1352 01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:44,120 here about the job, like how will they circumvent customs? 1353 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,440 What's in the crate to hire the PCs, things like that. 1354 01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,840 And that's really all you need. And and the bottom part here 1355 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:51,960 basically says like, it should be vague. 1356 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,120 It should only be detailed enough to keep you going. 1357 01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,200 If you like more improvisation, it should be just enough to get 1358 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,440 you going, but you should never plan what is what is. 1359 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,720 It's a year. What you shouldn't do is plan an 1360 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:07,480 exact story or try to predict exactly what the PCs will solve 1361 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:09,480 the problem. That's what 5 ES for. 1362 01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:11,920 If you want to be a passive player, they just has your 1363 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,120 handheld the entire time, go play that. 1364 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,560 If you want to be a storyteller, write a fucking book. 1365 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,760 But the next best thing, I guess 5E don't do that shit. 1366 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:24,040 I want you to throw a second one in there. 1367 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,600 Start your first session with the first job event and then 1368 01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:28,200 just go from there. I I love this. 1369 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:31,120 I think this is such a great way to do that is to just give you 1370 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:35,240 just enough details to like keep things going and enough events 1371 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,000 that like want, however they decide a thing like these other 1372 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:42,640 big things like could or would happen and and that's it. 1373 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,560 Cash rewards. Basically, it says the average 1374 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:51,640 job you get 30 to 50 credits for, but for highly, for like, 1375 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,840 longer, more dangerous, more important jobs, you have up to 1376 01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,000 100. And don't forget that a ship 1377 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,160 upgrade is worth 50. So when you're thinking about 1378 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,280 how much you're playing the characters, it's not just the 1379 01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:01,760 ship upgrade, but that's a big thing. 1380 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,720 So if you give too many of those, you know, but characters 1381 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,720 also need like, to resupply and things like that. 1382 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:07,840 Yeah. Here's a break. 1383 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,040 Yeah, definitely. Eating away your supplies is 1384 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:14,520 like paying for fuel. And yeah. 1385 01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,160 Hold repairing hole damage, repair like your hole. 1386 01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:21,880 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not playing characters one more 1387 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,640 time. And snacks too you. 1388 01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:27,279 Know, I mean you have snacks. I mean it's not cryosleep, 1389 01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:31,520 you're making the trip, so you got to have them snacks, non 1390 01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,960 player characters. Here's a quick breakdown of how 1391 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:35,359 to do it. Basically you list the 1392 01:08:35,359 --> 01:08:37,000 character, the health, armor, the damage. 1393 01:08:37,359 --> 01:08:40,960 So one thing is like civilians and animals, generally untrained 1394 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,840 people have three health to 0 armor and the lower of 2D6 1395 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,880 they're just normal ass people with three health and, and, and 1396 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:48,399 they're on arms, you know, things like that. 1397 01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:51,000 And it goes all the way up to security guard soldiers, elite 1398 01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,800 units, huge monsters are 16 health, 3 armor and 2D6 for 1399 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,479 damage. So the damage never really gets 1400 01:08:58,640 --> 01:09:03,160 beyond 2D6. Average is like 1D6 plus one or 1401 01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:06,720 one D 6 + 2. But, and I mean, people's health 1402 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,240 doesn't really go above like, but like 15 so. 1403 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,160 SO2D6 that could be that could be bad. 1404 01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:16,240 A good chunk, yeah. I mean it could be, it could be 1405 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,200 half your life, it could be your entire life in one go. 1406 01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,920 Like 2D Max 2D6 would kill you in one shot. 1407 01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:22,000 It would. Kill me in one hit you. 1408 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:28,800 Didn't even take armor starships yeah lists three types of ship 1409 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,080 attack, frigate, science vessels and capital ships and it just 1410 01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:34,160 gives whole armor and damage. Feel free to mix and tweak all 1411 01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:39,359 that kind of stuff. The long game, so the star map, 1412 01:09:39,359 --> 01:09:44,000 factions and timelines. And there's a cool like, kind of 1413 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:45,920 like a university map. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1414 01:09:46,240 --> 01:09:48,359 The map, yeah. Oh yeah, the star map. 1415 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,680 The star map is fucking cool. I love the shit out of that. 1416 01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:54,440 If you play multiple sessions of offworlders, you'll expand your 1417 01:09:54,440 --> 01:09:56,960 games universe beyond a single job and location to keep track. 1418 01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,440 This is how you do it, right? There's the star map. 1419 01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:02,840 So quick rundown of of the 6:00-ish things on how to make a 1420 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:04,800 star map. To start drawing the star map 1421 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,000 for your campaign, follow these steps. 1422 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,680 One after your first session, get a blank piece of paper 1423 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,480 somewhere in the middle draw a star. 1424 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:12,960 There is a star map in the back. I'm going to jump to that real 1425 01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,400 quick for this to see. There is this really cool like 1426 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:23,960 just lined drawing in the back. It it's, it's like, it feels 1427 01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:26,480 like you got one of those those things with a little teeth and 1428 01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:29,360 you're, you know how you do like the the pin where you make 1429 01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,480 designs by sticking the pin in the slots and spinning it? 1430 01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,680 Yeah, but this is cool. You can just start right in the 1431 01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,160 middle. And I like how there's so many 1432 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,400 different things orbiting that you can really follow. 1433 01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,480 It's a great, it's a great little piece. 1434 01:10:40,480 --> 01:10:41,240 It's a great piece. I. 1435 01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,080 Almost, said Compass. And I'm like, that's not what 1436 01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,200 he's talking about, so. No, but you know what I'm 1437 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:46,880 talking about though, right? I do know what you're talking 1438 01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:48,520 about, yes, but. Couldn't tell you what it's 1439 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,520 called. So somewhere in the middle, draw 1440 01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:51,960 star. Draw it small enough so you have 1441 01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,840 plenty of space #2 next to the star draw dot. 1442 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,160 This is the location where the PC's first job took place. 1443 01:10:57,440 --> 01:11:00,320 What is it? Planet, moon, whatever #3 Get 1444 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:08,400 the star a name something like Amaterasu or Hertzprung and 1445 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,080 write it down. Did you make a Naruto joke just 1446 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,880 now of? Course Amaterasu is Naruto. 1447 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,040 Yeah, well, I was thinking of the what's the game where you 1448 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:23,120 plays the Wolves? You're playing as the spirit of 1449 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,280 Amaterasu and the Wolf, you know? 1450 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,080 Is it a video game? Yes. 1451 01:11:27,440 --> 01:11:28,720 Oh well then I I don't fucking buy them. 1452 01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:29,640 Don't ask me. I don't you're. 1453 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,560 So useless bro I was. Thinking amateur obviously. 1454 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:35,800 I was thinking amateurasu like the black flame that fucking the 1455 01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:38,200 best character in all of Naruto uses. 1456 01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,520 Oh call me O Comedy is the name of the game. 1457 01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,320 O Comedy is amazing. You should play it. 1458 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,280 It's one of the best games I've ever played. 1459 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,080 I'll check it out. So get the star name, think 1460 01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:52,280 about who rules the star system. Is it interstellar, mega 1461 01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,360 corporation, whatever. This basically you're building 1462 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,800 the universe out right #4 Consider the other location star 1463 01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:01,600 system. Add one or two now #5 Does the 1464 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:05,680 faction ruling star also rule any other stars #6 Let your mind 1465 01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:06,760 wonder. Think about other factions. 1466 01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,240 I might come into conflict if they control star systems. 1467 01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,240 You can draw political borders if it helps keep track. 1468 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,280 So leave space to add to your map. 1469 01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:15,520 It's never truly complete. And remember, the closest star 1470 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:19,000 systems can take one week and one unit of dry fuel to get to 1471 01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:21,920 factions. They exist. 1472 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:23,880 You know what factions are. Faction play is cool. 1473 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,040 It's a good idea to have it in here. 1474 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:28,040 Space, space factions of anything that's going to have 1475 01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:29,760 faction space is going to have like in factions. 1476 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:31,000 Yeah. Absolutely so. 1477 01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,520 So you have those. The timelines is interesting. 1478 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,680 Basically says time time much like a job as a framework for a 1479 01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,400 single session. Timelines are frameworks for 1480 01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,800 your campaign. You should make one timeline 1481 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:47,640 after you first make your star map and you can add more as 1482 01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,960 universe gets fleshed out. So basically to make a timeline, 1483 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,360 think about the factions on your map and the goals of each. 1484 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,480 What is happening. Jot down a list of three to five 1485 01:12:55,480 --> 01:13:02,040 events that will happen in your area unless the players like 1486 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,160 basically make a sharp detour to get to that and and affect it. 1487 01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:08,240 So basically Long story short with the way timelines work 1488 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,840 though, universe spins even when the players aren't fucking with 1489 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,520 it and things will advance even with the players don't encounter 1490 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,120 them. So the players are not the 1491 01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:19,560 center of the fucking universe. The universe is. 1492 01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,560 It's not player centric. So that's why timeline's the 1493 01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:26,520 stuff that you have there. There's a example here. 1494 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:30,080 Timeline is disunion. In the UDW, there's five things 1495 01:13:30,080 --> 01:13:33,400 listed #1 Water riots in the mining colony hurt sprung 9 1496 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,720 begin to escalate #2 After a terrorist bombing, the Union of 1497 01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,400 Democratic Worlds declares martial law on health sprung 9 1498 01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,960 #3 The UDW diverts fleet resources to hurt spring system 1499 01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:47,400 as violence spreads #4 Sensing weakness, the neighboring 10 1500 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,680 Tanagran Empire seizes a dry fuel production facility from 1501 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:55,400 the UDW, and then #5 war is declared between the Tangran 1502 01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:58,000 Empire and the UDW. You know what? 1503 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,720 Hey, if you're listening to this that timeline shit, you should 1504 01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:03,840 just take that and use it in every game that you play that 1505 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,360 you run because it's a good, good idea. 1506 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,640 It's great I. Read that, I was reading a 1507 01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:15,680 Vaults of Our Adventure after I read this and they also have 1508 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:17,800 suggestions of when you leave this city and come back. 1509 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,960 Like what's changed? It's not a timeline. 1510 01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:22,560 Like having something in the back pocket that shows the time 1511 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,440 moves forward without your players is good, but the 1512 01:14:25,440 --> 01:14:27,680 timeline thing's really very good. 1513 01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,000 Yeah, it's good. And The thing is, like, you 1514 01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,280 could have that listed, but like, if the players show up at 1515 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:37,440 #2 and just fuck it up or fix it, like you just drop off the 1516 01:14:37,440 --> 01:14:38,520 rest of them. Yeah. 1517 01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,120 Yeah. But if they show up at like, at 1518 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:45,560 #5 you can now explain why they're at war, you know? 1519 01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,920 So it's, it's cool. And you're not, again, you're 1520 01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:50,840 not writing a story. It's writing a series of events 1521 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:54,240 that could happen unless the players intervene, which I love. 1522 01:14:54,360 --> 01:15:00,040 So both your others. Say, for me, that means that if 1523 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:02,440 they intervened and then left again, I get to write a new 1524 01:15:02,440 --> 01:15:04,480 timeline. You know, like they can see the 1525 01:15:04,480 --> 01:15:07,160 outcome. Yeah, the outcome of their own 1526 01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,560 actions. Yeah, love that the 1527 01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:12,680 consequences. You know, that's that's the 1528 01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,440 reason I like 2D6 games is the consequences. 1529 01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:17,520 And one of the things I don't like about Blades, give me 10 1530 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:23,920 seconds is that you can you roll and then you so you then get a 1531 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:26,080 consequence, but then you can release the consequence. 1532 01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,560 But then you can also like decide it's a flashback to go 1533 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,240 back to time to also resist the consequence. 1534 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,520 It's like just accept the consequences of your fucking 1535 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,480 actions. So both your star map and your 1536 01:15:34,480 --> 01:15:38,320 timelines are mutable and ever growing etcetera, etcetera. 1537 01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:41,040 You develop goals and interests and things happen and go from 1538 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:42,160 there. I 10 seconds, right? 1539 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:44,600 That's pretty good. You were actually under I think. 1540 01:15:48,480 --> 01:15:51,360 So then we get the inspirational tables which are also fucking 1541 01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,200 dope. So using the following tables to 1542 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,600 generate names, places, and ideas, you can just pick what 1543 01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:59,600 sounds interesting to you and roll 2D6 so it is 6 down and 1544 01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,840 then it is 6 tables of 6 for world types. 1545 01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:09,120 So archipelago, artificial, burning, dark, dead, forested. 1546 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,280 Like you could literally rule 66 real quick about on any one of 1547 01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:16,040 these tables I'll pick 1. So there's world types, themes, 1548 01:16:16,040 --> 01:16:18,440 objects in space, cargo, and names. 1549 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:21,840 And you can roll as many as you want for a new. 1550 01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:27,840 Let's do objects in space. You said 66, first one is going 1551 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,360 to be 6. It's a battle in progress. 1552 01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:39,160 OK. And then two is oh sorry, wait 1553 01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:45,480 did I do that wrong? You just roll 6 dice and then 1554 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:55,760 say what they are in order. OK, yeah, then 6/1 or mine? 1555 01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:58,960 Cool. Oh, I was just. 1556 01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,400 I was just, I know it says 2D6, but I was just going to have you 1557 01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:07,120 roll 1D6 across all six tables. Yeah, I mean. 1558 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:08,600 That's fine. Yeah, well, the first one I got 1559 01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:12,080 is Babble in Progress. Then I got a cryo sleep pod. 1560 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,920 You come across a cryo sleep pod. 1561 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:16,040 Dear, come back in progress, yeah. 1562 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:23,880 And then I got #1 debris filled. Debris filled, yeah. 1563 01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:27,600 Yeah, filled full of debris, so. You're looking for You're 1564 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,160 looking for a cryo sleep pod in a debris field. 1565 01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:33,560 You get there, there's a battle in progress. 1566 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:39,280 Yep, keep going. Next 1A military fleet. 1567 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:48,280 Perfect, perfect. So next one is #6A luxury liner. 1568 01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:53,760 Maybe we're going there to save a rich person that was on the 1569 01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:55,840 luxury liner. They've been a good deal this 1570 01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,280 battle. Exactly. 1571 01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:59,440 So you get to pull the cryopot out because they're sleeping, 1572 01:17:59,920 --> 01:18:02,200 Yeah. Last one I got is transmission 1573 01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:06,440 buoy, so it's. Just it's just out there. 1574 01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:07,680 It's there, yeah. Yeah. 1575 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,200 Boom, objects in space. Love that. 1576 01:18:10,200 --> 01:18:11,840 It's great. Then we get to the character 1577 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,640 sheets. They're simple, straightforward. 1578 01:18:13,640 --> 01:18:15,720 I like them. They just, you know, name class. 1579 01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:18,200 There's spots for all the things you need to write in and circles 1580 01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,480 for the things you can just like select in enough spot for notes. 1581 01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:23,440 Love it and some advancement at the bottom. 1582 01:18:23,720 --> 01:18:26,320 The ship is the same thing. Anything that you need to write 1583 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:27,760 that could change is a little box. 1584 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:31,480 Anything you can just fill in a little circle for scantron style 1585 01:18:31,480 --> 01:18:33,480 is listed there and there's enough notes at the bottom. 1586 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:36,600 We got the star map and then a great page in the back. 1587 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,760 Love this. It says break this game and it's 1588 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:41,480 the same font as was used on the playing the game, the game 1589 01:18:41,480 --> 01:18:43,840 master, but it's like it's fucked up now. 1590 01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,200 It's all like all broken up and and and everything staticed out, 1591 01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,000 which makes sense because it's break this game. 1592 01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,680 It's very thematic. I love that it's cool off 1593 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,160 Worlders is designed to be extremely open to 1594 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:55,600 interpretation, remixing and hacking, negotiating specific 1595 01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,400 uses of abilities and making small rulings about dice rolls 1596 01:18:58,400 --> 01:18:59,560 at the table. As part of the fun. 1597 01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,720 I encourage you to come up with new classes, abilities, aliens, 1598 01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:04,720 a weird, weird gear for your game and talk to Chris P about 1599 01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:06,520 it. And that's the game. 1600 01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,560 That's the fucking game. Woo. 1601 01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:13,840 So now we're going to these scores. 1602 01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:19,240 Let me expand some stuff here. So we said we're going to call 1603 01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:24,160 this a book because again, it is only what is it like 28 pages, 1604 01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,280 but it's 8 1/2 by 11 with three columns. 1605 01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,080 And if you you broke one of those columns off the animated 1606 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,480 Zine size, I feel like this would be closer to probably 45 1607 01:19:31,480 --> 01:19:33,560 to 50 pages at least. So it's book size. 1608 01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:37,840 It's got enough stuff to be called a book, so we do here on 1609 01:19:37,840 --> 01:19:41,720 the show quantifier terrible opinions with numbers. 1610 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:46,000 We do so by using 5 metrics worth up to 10 points each. 1611 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,280 Those five metrics are as follows. 1612 01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,160 Art and layout, which is the quality, quantity and style of 1613 01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:57,120 the art and the layout visually all the way through usability, 1614 01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:02,520 which is things like hyperlinks. Table of contents, bookmarks, 1615 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:07,240 book ribbons, if you got them, if things are in good order, if 1616 01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,360 the book it reads well, how usable it is? 1617 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,480 Is it at the table? Rule set is? 1618 01:20:12,480 --> 01:20:13,920 If it's adapted rule set, how well is it? 1619 01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,440 Is it adapted? If it is a new rule set, do we 1620 01:20:16,440 --> 01:20:18,480 like it? Do we think it's good on a first 1621 01:20:18,480 --> 01:20:22,600 read? Originality is is originality 1622 01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:24,560 like are the are the mechanics original? 1623 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,280 Is a system original is a setting original, anything like 1624 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,200 that. And then value is bang for your 1625 01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:33,280 buck, not just the cost of it, but how much you get for it. 1626 01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:37,280 So are there adventures? Are there digital tools? 1627 01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:39,240 Are there character sheets? Like what all do you get for the 1628 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,000 money that you spend? Each are worth up to 10 points 1629 01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,760 for a total of 50. No one's ever gotten A50. 1630 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:46,480 No one's ever gotten less than a 25. 1631 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:51,200 So we'll see how we do so art and layout. 1632 01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,760 What are your thoughts? You know, I like a lot of things 1633 01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,240 about it. I think there's a couple of 1634 01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:00,080 hiccups in the layout. Nothing major, very serviceable. 1635 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,880 3 columns. I really like the art. 1636 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,480 I really like the just style of it for this. 1637 01:21:06,480 --> 01:21:10,000 It feels really good in this kind of like 2D6 sci-fi game. 1638 01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:15,680 And yeah, I'm I'm into it. Yeah, I'm into it, I think. 1639 01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:20,120 I think the art's fantastic. Yeah, I think the use of it is 1640 01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,360 really interesting too, because with the with the with the three 1641 01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:25,960 column grid style layout, it really gives you opportunity to 1642 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,400 have things in any of the three columns and then art at the top, 1643 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:30,720 bottom or sides. I'd love the side art. 1644 01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:32,520 It looks really great. I think the three column grid 1645 01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:36,200 style layout also fits the sci-fi theme really well. 1646 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,680 Font choices are good. Again, there's only like like 2 1647 01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:42,840 pages that like, I was like, this could be a little bit 1648 01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:45,200 better, but it's not bad by any search of the imagination. 1649 01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:48,760 And that's, that's me being as picky and fucking pedantic as 1650 01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:52,040 possible to be like, I wish the art didn't touch the page and it 1651 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:57,520 was into the margin. But I think, I think this is I, 1652 01:21:57,560 --> 01:21:59,400 I, I, I like it, I think it's good. 1653 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:01,520 What do you think? Yeah, I think it's good. 1654 01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:05,000 I think it's good. I'm really good. 1655 01:22:05,440 --> 01:22:06,920 I think it's really good. I think it's really good. 1656 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:08,800 I think this is really good. Yeah. 1657 01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:11,800 I think it's also interesting to pick 8 and half by 11. 1658 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:15,080 You don't see thin 8 and half by 11 a lot, which I think how. 1659 01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,160 Big it is. Yeah, I do. 1660 01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,400 And it's well also realistically too. 1661 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,560 Like it it, it makes it good for the table too. 1662 01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,080 Like it really lays. It lays open well and stuff. 1663 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,960 And you get like, yeah, well, one thing that I really love 1664 01:22:27,960 --> 01:22:32,960 about it too is 8 1/2 by 11, you get 3 columns, but it breathes, 1665 01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:36,520 you know what I mean? Like nothing feels like, look 1666 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,520 how beautiful. Also like when you just look at 1667 01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,400 that kind of abstractly, like it just looks good. 1668 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,520 First of all, great. I mean, you know, great. 1669 01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,920 But like the margins are nice, size, there's plenty of spaces 1670 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:49,040 between all the chapters. None of it feels busy at all. 1671 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,000 Like it looks and feels really, really good. 1672 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:53,760 I like it. I like it a lot. 1673 01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:57,560 Yeah, I think it's really good. So we think like A7. 1674 01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:06,040 Yeah, I think so. Open folder Yeah, 7 on this. 1675 01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:09,320 What the fuck did we give a three to? 1676 01:23:13,400 --> 01:23:16,120 Usability. So it has basically everything 1677 01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:16,840 that we want. It has. 1678 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,480 It is hyperlinked. I think the table of constants 1679 01:23:19,480 --> 01:23:24,000 is really well done. I think the headers and sections 1680 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,640 stuff are really well done. I love the differentiation, the 1681 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,200 hard line between the player section and the GM section. 1682 01:23:29,200 --> 01:23:30,920 So keep your GM shit out of my player stuff. 1683 01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:32,920 Keep your player stuff out of my GM shit. 1684 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,400 Again, bookmarks, hyperlinks. There's one or two things that 1685 01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:39,080 like you could put a couple more hyperlinks in. 1686 01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,720 I think those are like really like one or two page references, 1687 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:43,600 but they are listed as pages. So that doesn't really bother 1688 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,640 me. And then I think it's always 1689 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:47,600 important to hyperlink your own website when you throw that in 1690 01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:49,240 there, but I'm not going to take any points from that. 1691 01:23:49,480 --> 01:23:51,960 I think the minus. Five points for that so. 1692 01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,600 Yeah, for, for not hyperlink in your own website. 1693 01:23:55,760 --> 01:24:00,040 I think that it is laid out really well as in like the order 1694 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:03,160 of the sections, like it's exactly how I want to read it. 1695 01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,280 There was never a question of what was going on because if if 1696 01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:08,480 something did pop up, it was like the next page and it told 1697 01:24:08,480 --> 01:24:11,200 you where it was going to be. I strongly agree with that. 1698 01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,320 Honestly, I really like I it's funny because like, frankly, 1699 01:24:14,480 --> 01:24:18,080 this is a pretty light game in terms of what's in it, you know? 1700 01:24:18,440 --> 01:24:22,640 And so if Chris had been way sloppier with where where things 1701 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,640 were, it would have, I mean, not that it wouldn't have mattered, 1702 01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,520 but it would have mattered The I see games way more stuff that 1703 01:24:28,520 --> 01:24:31,840 need the division or need this, this layout. 1704 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,720 And I'm just like, fuck, you guys need to be doing this. 1705 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,880 So yeah. Yeah, I just love how like it's 1706 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:43,240 a, it is a pretty light game. I just love how thorough 1707 01:24:43,440 --> 01:24:45,720 everything is done throughout, you know what I mean? 1708 01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:47,120 Like I mean. A lot of that has to do with 1709 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:51,800 Chris's writing ability, though, his ability to communicate, like 1710 01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:55,640 through written word. He's really good at it. 1711 01:24:55,920 --> 01:25:00,680 Yeah, like again, like it's concise. 1712 01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,960 The writing is concise, but like you never not to the point of 1713 01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:06,880 feeling like you're missing something or that something 1714 01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,800 isn't fleshed out enough or that it's not explained well enough, 1715 01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,760 which is really great. But I also think that like 1716 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:18,520 obviously Chris has a really good understanding of like the 1717 01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:20,000 reader side. You know what I mean? 1718 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,200 Because there's books that we've gone over where you can tell 1719 01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,600 that the creator wrote it and they spent their like, they 1720 01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:30,040 looked at it too long and it's written so that they understand 1721 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:32,240 it. And I feel like this book is 1722 01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:36,160 incredibly well written for the reader to understand and laid 1723 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:37,680 out for the reader to understand. 1724 01:25:37,680 --> 01:25:39,800 And like even like with the numbers and everything like 1725 01:25:39,800 --> 01:25:42,040 that, the numbered lists all the way through. 1726 01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:47,240 Like I just think it's a good product to again, to like 1727 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,120 understand what is being communicated. 1728 01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,640 And I think that really benefits to usability as well. 1729 01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:56,280 So what do you think? No, you picked this one. 1730 01:25:57,280 --> 01:26:00,120 I I mean, I think it's good for for how short it is. 1731 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,280 And then here's the thing. If you added 50 pages, I think 1732 01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:03,920 it would just continue to be the same, you know what I mean? 1733 01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:05,200 Like it would still be all the way through. 1734 01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:08,760 I agree. I'm probably, I'm probably gonna 1735 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,080 aid on this. I think it's like, yeah. 1736 01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,520 I think the usability is definitely a strong point of 1737 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:16,120 this. Yeah, rule set. 1738 01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,560 So it is kind of a light rule set, but yeah, I love it. 1739 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,560 I think in the GM section, I think, which is obviously still 1740 01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:24,960 part of the rule set too. Like the way that the job 1741 01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:30,520 framework works, the way that the timelines are explained, and 1742 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:35,840 also the what is there is more than enough. 1743 01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:40,400 And there is also like not only permission and encouragement, 1744 01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:47,440 but a blank canvas for people to run with it and and make things 1745 01:26:47,440 --> 01:26:49,000 on their own. And we already talked about how 1746 01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:52,320 easy would be to to take this as a core and go for that. 1747 01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,840 And that is like literally in the description of the game on 1748 01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,080 the itch and drive through page and in the page in the back of 1749 01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,160 the book, it literally says, like, this is more than enough 1750 01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:01,760 to play. But I encourage you to use this 1751 01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:03,720 as a foundation to build the game that you want. 1752 01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,760 And I love that. And I know there's there's like, 1753 01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:08,680 there was like one comment on the drive through page where I 1754 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:10,640 was like, Oh, you're a person who has no imagination 1755 01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:12,640 whatsoever. And basically like, it's the 1756 01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:13,720 same people that are like Merkborg. 1757 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:15,880 It's barely a game. It's like it's way more than 1758 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:17,840 enough of a game. I'm sorry that you need every 1759 01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,000 single fucking possible thing laid out for you, because you 1760 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,400 you can't take it in any, any fucking way in your own 1761 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:23,840 imagination. That's crazy to me. 1762 01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:26,960 It's like I was watching YouTube videos on Classic Traveler a 1763 01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,800 while, not that long ago, talking about, since we're 1764 01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:32,160 talking about a person very inspired by class Traveler who 1765 01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,000 writes about it kind of popped in my head. 1766 01:27:34,200 --> 01:27:36,640 And one of the person's critiques is that unlike D&D, 1767 01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,920 like it doesn't hold your hands, all the things that leaves a lot 1768 01:27:38,920 --> 01:27:41,120 of things up to the game Master to decide. 1769 01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:42,960 And they were talking about how that's a weakness. 1770 01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:47,960 I'm like. Yes, yes. 1771 01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,800 For playing the game, damn it. People, people I understand to a 1772 01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:57,400 point that people like some people want their hand held and 1773 01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,920 some people like I don't like Pbta because I don't like 1774 01:27:59,920 --> 01:28:03,800 feeling that like my choices are kind of like a little bit like 1775 01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:05,760 narrowed down. But I know a lot of people 1776 01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:10,160 really do like that because they they want, yeah, but I, but so I 1777 01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:11,360 understand that there are differences. 1778 01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,640 But I also think that like, I do also think that tabletop 1779 01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:17,400 role-playing games and like the style of games from like a 1780 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:20,200 medicines is a little bit of a journey kind of like music, 1781 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:21,960 right? Like, yeah, you don't, you don't 1782 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:25,160 immediately go into like the hardest, weirdest part of a 1783 01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,120 genre. You, you have like an intro into 1784 01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:28,920 it. But like, some people stay, some 1785 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,640 people are Top 40 people, some people are radio pop people. 1786 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:33,960 That's fine. I don't understand. 1787 01:28:33,960 --> 01:28:35,800 You can enjoy that. I like digging deep to find the 1788 01:28:35,800 --> 01:28:37,960 weird shit fine. They're just less than me, you 1789 01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:38,600 know? Yeah. 1790 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,720 Right. So I think tabletop role-playing 1791 01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:43,960 games are a bit of a journey and people, people starting with 1792 01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:47,080 something like 5 where they're handheld and there's so much 1793 01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:51,240 scaffolding and structure to it. Like eventually, I personally 1794 01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,480 think it's a good idea to start moving away from games and let 1795 01:28:53,480 --> 01:28:55,520 that scaffolding fall off of your playstyle. 1796 01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:57,360 And eventually you get to games like this. 1797 01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:01,040 Like I, we talked about this a bunch, like the lighter a game 1798 01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,080 is does not mean it's an easier, Sometimes it's harder because 1799 01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,440 you lose that scaffolding, you lose the structure. 1800 01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:12,040 And for some people that never understood that they were on a 1801 01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:16,120 journey or on a pathway towards that or need that scaffolding 1802 01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:18,640 and aren't really able to play without it, they don't they 1803 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,080 don't get it. I just wish, and that's my thing 1804 01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:23,000 is like, that's fine. If you don't like that, that's 1805 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,720 fine. Recognize that it is a different 1806 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:29,520 style, not a flaw, you know, so rule set. 1807 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:33,680 I obviously fucking love it. Like this is literally like this 1808 01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:36,920 is my exact game. Like this is my exact type of 1809 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,880 game I want to play. It is almost all like obviously 1810 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:43,000 if I was writing a game, it would be like 80% this like I 1811 01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:47,400 mean, obviously. So I'm going to give this high 1812 01:29:47,400 --> 01:29:49,040 numbers. What are your thoughts though? 1813 01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,880 And and also like, I really can't think of any, like I can't 1814 01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:55,480 think of any downs on it. Yeah, I mean, I, I like this 1815 01:29:55,480 --> 01:29:58,120 game. I I really enjoy things well put 1816 01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:01,720 together. I mean, I don't know that I'm 1817 01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,920 like necessary blown away by anyone aspect of it. 1818 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:06,560 I think it all works really well together. 1819 01:30:07,480 --> 01:30:09,800 I like the classes. I like the two D6 rules, 1820 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:12,920 although it's not like a massive riff on 2D6, you know, it's 1821 01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:18,120 pretty much like how I would expect it to work, you know? 1822 01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:24,280 So yeah, I think it's good. You know, I'm probably about 1823 01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:27,640 seven for rule set. Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm 1824 01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:30,800 higher on it than that, but this is my genre. 1825 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,880 Like the thing I like about. Is there's nothing in here 1826 01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:38,080 that's like really dynamically unique A to itself, you know? 1827 01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:42,040 I will disagree I think the way that I mean you literally said 1828 01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:44,120 that everyone should steal timelines, which is part of the 1829 01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:45,360 rules. Yeah, like the. 1830 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:49,600 GM Those kind of things are part of the rules, like the way that 1831 01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,680 a lot of it works. And the thing that I like about 1832 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:55,880 this is not that there is like a rule thing that makes it unique. 1833 01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:59,280 It is that the entire style of the game is meant to be like a 1834 01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:01,520 starting point for you to make it your own and gives you more 1835 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:04,080 than enough for you to do that, which I think is a plus for this 1836 01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:05,400 style of game. The stylus system. 1837 01:31:05,400 --> 01:31:08,840 It is because again, we said over and over again, it would be 1838 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:11,680 so easy to run a travel style game in this would be so easy to 1839 01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:17,840 run an alien style game in this. This is a really beautifully 1840 01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:22,560 done kind of like canvas that you can do anything you want 1841 01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,960 because you know, if you're playing we've we've also looked 1842 01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,520 at games where it's like this game does this one thing and it 1843 01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:29,600 does it really well, but it does this one thing like I think this 1844 01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:33,440 game's one of the strengths of it is that it can do all of 1845 01:31:33,440 --> 01:31:36,240 those things, you know, like 5 E you know you can do anything 1846 01:31:36,240 --> 01:31:41,520 with it right, But I think it shines in the way that I want a 1847 01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:46,800 system to run, but I think the GM section really shines in some 1848 01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:50,320 other things. So I, I mean, if you're at A7, 1849 01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,080 I'm I'm at like at least an 8 on this. 1850 01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:56,840 So 7 1/2. All right, 7 1/2. 1851 01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:58,080 So I'll round that up and give it an 8. 1852 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,280 Yeah, originality. This is where I can understand 1853 01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:05,400 some of the what you just said a little bit more. 1854 01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:08,280 You know what I mean? Like I can, I can agree to that, 1855 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:09,880 I think. I think things like the the 1856 01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,760 timeline bit and the star map I think are really interesting. 1857 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,040 I think add your originality, but it's a space game. 1858 01:32:15,840 --> 01:32:20,960 It is a world of dungeon hack. So as far as originality goes, I 1859 01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:25,520 I think the IT was never meant to be like the most original 1860 01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:26,520 fucking thing in the entire world. 1861 01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:28,960 Yeah. So I think your again, your 1862 01:32:28,960 --> 01:32:31,520 previous critique I think applies to this a little bit 1863 01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:33,000 more. So what do you think on the 1864 01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,840 originality? Put my previous critique right 1865 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,400 here. Boom, copy paste. 1866 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:42,080 So what number are you thinking? I don't know. 1867 01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:45,840 I think, yeah, this is where it's going to kind of hurt, you 1868 01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:47,720 know? Well, so we so so 5 isn't you 1869 01:32:47,720 --> 01:32:49,120 have nothing good or bad to say about a thing. 1870 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,320 And I think I think it's kind of like is I'm thinking 6 because 1871 01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:56,840 the honestly, I think it's five. And then when you throw in jobs, 1872 01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:00,160 timelines, the star map, all that stuff, it bumps into a six. 1873 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:03,400 I'm good with the six for that. But again, like this wasn't this 1874 01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:06,400 isn't a game that like strove for the originality. 1875 01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:08,880 So that's obviously going to be where it does. 1876 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,680 And then value wise. OK, so the game is fucking free. 1877 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:16,360 It's a free download on itch. It's a free download on drive 1878 01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,320 through RPG. It's entirely free. 1879 01:33:18,320 --> 01:33:20,920 And if you want a print, if you want the print I have in my hand 1880 01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:25,240 right here, a nice beautiful premium color, even though it's 1881 01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:29,240 black and white print, it's 699, it's 7 fucking bucks, pretty 1882 01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:33,200 good PDF included. You can't really get, you can't 1883 01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,400 really get better than that. And the way the system is 1884 01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,280 designed with the inspirations and all that kind of stuff, you 1885 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:41,320 have basically a limitless number of things to run with it. 1886 01:33:41,560 --> 01:33:44,360 So I mean, value isn't just the price, but we've said over and 1887 01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,280 over again, if a game is free, it kind of has to have a 10, 1888 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:49,360 right? Yeah, you kind of Yeah, the game 1889 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:54,480 is free, so. I mean, yeah, so I'm, I'm, I'm, 1890 01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:59,000 I'm and, and, and again, like I, I don't think there's like 1891 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,360 basically nothing on drive through that's only like 7 1892 01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:03,200 bucks. Like there's no way that that's 1893 01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:06,400 not just like, cost. Yeah, yes, totally. 1894 01:34:06,480 --> 01:34:08,480 I mean it's yeah, 7 bucks is crazy. 1895 01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:11,080 But not only that, not only that, not only that, and I think 1896 01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:12,440 we have to throw this into value. 1897 01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,240 All proceeds from this game go to charity. 1898 01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:19,480 Like, I mean, if to me that's that's that's value for my 1899 01:34:19,480 --> 01:34:21,880 money, like that means. I thought we just said we were 1900 01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,600 going to give it a 10. Oh, oh, all right, yeah. 1901 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:29,080 I was like, maybe it's just a nine, but then yeah, you can't. 1902 01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,640 Like the only way you can make it go up is if like again, like 1903 01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:33,880 if the money you do give goes to fucking charity, you know what I 1904 01:34:33,880 --> 01:34:38,920 mean? Like there's no way to like 7 + 1905 01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:42,120 8 plus. I think a free game could could 1906 01:34:42,120 --> 01:34:44,280 get less than 7. If it's a bad game though, you 1907 01:34:44,280 --> 01:34:46,880 know or less than you know. What I mean, no it's not. 1908 01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:54,800 Worth it plus 8 + 6 + 1039? Is that what we got here? 1909 01:34:56,040 --> 01:35:00,120 I did not do the math. I trust you. 1910 01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:03,360 And then I think, I mean, obviously the only thing, I 1911 01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:11,760 mean, I don't trust me, that sounds weird. 7 + 16 + 16, yeah, 1912 01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:14,160 3939. And the only thing that really 1913 01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:22,800 drops it like at all, it really is the, is the, the originality, 1914 01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:25,600 you know, and then because it's, it's, it's a space game, like 1915 01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:29,680 it's, it's hard to really get a lot of like crazy originality 1916 01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,280 with it being a space game. But that's, that's off. 1917 01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:35,400 Worlders art and layout 7 usability 8 rule set 8 1918 01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:41,920 originality 6 value 10 total score 39 again, I, I fucking 1919 01:35:41,920 --> 01:35:43,520 love this game. This is the style of game I want 1920 01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,080 to play. I, it shocked me when I first 1921 01:35:46,080 --> 01:35:48,920 read it where I was like, did Chris read my mind while he 1922 01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:51,000 wrote this game? Like it's crazy. 1923 01:35:52,680 --> 01:35:55,840 So definitely go check out Chris P Wolf. 1924 01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:57,840 We've got some other cool stuff going. 1925 01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:00,000 If you like traveler got some good writings about that. 1926 01:36:02,280 --> 01:36:04,520 We'll make sure that the links to all their stuff is below. 1927 01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:06,640 I again, I don't know if they're still on Twitter, but I'll make 1928 01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:08,440 sure that the link to the blue sky everything is there. 1929 01:36:08,440 --> 01:36:11,960 We'll make sure that the link to off worlders is there, but that 1930 01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:15,480 is off worlders. I don't know. 1931 01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:17,800 I don't none of us on what we're doing next week. 1932 01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:23,800 Sunday dirt will be on for our next not catch that. 1933 01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:27,040 Yeah. On Monday we'll continue in the 1934 01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,520 light of a setting sun. And then next Friday we'll, 1935 01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:32,680 we'll do a game, we'll figure out what it is. 1936 01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:35,440 But again, we'll try to be a little bit more consistent about 1937 01:36:35,760 --> 01:36:41,200 being on top of our our reviews and, and that's about it. 1938 01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:43,880 That's all I got.
