Oh awesome! What a clever player! Thank you so much for checking out the Isle, and posting the report :)

Thanks for this CG! Really cool

So glad it got mentioned! Just totally forgot that part. Thanks for checking it out

Not at all haha! Thanks for saying something. All there now

Oops! thanks for saying something. Now included

Hey Kenn! Sorry I missed this comment. thank you for supporting the project. That iteration is no longer available. I decided it was a stronger product by going with the tried and true early D&D. You can get the White Box: Fantastic Medieval Adventure Game pdf free, and the book on Amazon for around $5. This is the game i basically intended these sheets to work with.

Again, sorry for the delay.

All best,

Hello and thank you for the question. In hindsight, this could have been worded a little differently. In many old school dungeon games, you roll 1d6 to see if there is a monster in the room. Affirmative on a 1 (sometimes 1 or 2). Other systems: affirmative on a 5 and/or 6. 

"If negative," means, if there isn't a monster in the room (per your chosen game's particular rules), then roll 1d6 to see if there is an Event or Feature.

You’re most welcome and thank you!

Thank you! May your sessions be full of adventure 

Thank you so much for the review! Appreciate it :) glad you had fun with it 

Thank you so much for checking it out!

Thank you! Hope you enjoy it

Thank you so much for the comment!

Second is in development. The pdfs should print off pretty well, even on a home printer, and would like be far more affordable? I was supposed to finish writing by end of march, but our family is undergoing some transitioning, and it got away from me. The plan is to have the writing done by end of spring, with crowd fund in summer. will likely use a little more time for fleshing out and feedback. reluctant to give a deliver time, but perhaps by fall winter?

thank you so much for following along :) much appreciated!

Yea! It's a great game. I hope I've done it some justice. Thank you for the comment

that's very kind of you :) thank you. Matt has as much credit as I however! I'm sure you'd love his work too

Done!

I'm sorry it's not clear. I feel like the instructions in the game make it fairly clear though. Is there something specific?

Now that I have made a new map, I think a proper character sheet is in order! I will try to make that happen by end of month! Thank you :)

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for missing this! Thank you for bringing my attention to the issue. Because of your comment (and follow up), I 've just uploaded a new map. I try my best to be a present developer and answer quickly. Unfortunately, I spaced out and forgot your note. I hope you find the new map far better in many ways. All best, PR

Hey Kyle, the character sheet would be whatever you write on - I'd recommend an index note card

i'll send a pdf via email for in shop physical purchases

Hello, yes, I think I will soon. Have some expenses to get through via tax season first. Having a pretty steep sale on other printed zines at the moment though: https://perplexingruinsshop.bigcartel.com/category/physical-game-booklet

I am so glad for the comment, thank you! I'm happy to hear when folks enjoy the game. Currently, there is no discord, though there once was. Should I create one again this year, I will make a post here on itch. Cheers

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

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

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

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

Does this help?

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

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

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

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

All best,PR

thanks so much! appreciate that :)

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

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

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

Hope this helped!

Cheers!

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

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

Sorry for any inconvenience.

All best PR

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

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

Thanks Jelly Cult! Really appreciate it :)

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

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

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

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