This was a lovely ride! This was my dnd table's first time with a PbtA game, and we really enjoyed ourselves! We had a last minute cancellation, so I ran it for two players with a sporadic NPC and it still worked quite well! It took us two 3.5'ish hour sessions to complete (though an experienced PtbA GM could streamline it into one I'm sure). One character survived the journey, while the other player had to replace their character four times. In that, we really appreciated how quick the character creation process was, and said player was able to hop back in within a minute or two, which really kept the pacing and the fun alive.
Heyo, I was just checking the book while preparing for a game and noticed that the Fight! option has an entry I'm a bit confused about. It says "On a 6-...", so does that mean on a 6 or less, or on a miss?
Otherwise, I'm super excited to run this with some friends! I'm not an experienced DM, and I've never played PbtA, but this seems chill and collaborative enough for everyone to have a good time regardless.
Such a fun system with lots of little breadcrumbs to help you run it well. You can tell a lot of time and love went into the rules to make things balanced, without being overbearing. A great addition to the PbtA family.
Stupid question. How the hell do I print this at home?:D I am trying to print the printer friendly spreads document but I cannot figure out how to do so in a way that makes a nice booklet xD
Again, sorry for the stupid question. Anyone who might be able to help?:D
Hi Edoardo! The printer-friendly version isn't really just a low-ink version. Printing in booklet format would involve taking the singles version and doing some rearranging of the pages. I'll look into how complicated it is to whip up a booklet format version and add it to the downloads, but to be honest, the whole thing is designed to be full-bleed so I worry about things getting cut off or the font size getting really small.
We do have print copies available if you want to buy one, though — people who've purchased the PDF get a discount.
Our community is very interested in your game and we would be happy to translate it into Polish. This is a really great system! I wrote an email about this.

I figured it out! 6- is just another way of saying missed, found a part of the book that helped me see that.

Whoot whoot, I didn't know about printed copies! Where can I get one?
I’m also curious about how to obtain a print copy!
I would be super interested in a print copy if still available

Hi!
Our community is very interested in your game and we would be happy to translate it into Polish. This is a really great system! I wrote an email about this.
Hi! Sorry for the slow response on this! Will follow up via email!
Thanks
I’m prepping and running this as my and my table’s first PbtA game, very excited!
Based on something a player said, also wondering if anyone has made a hack or a game where the PCs play the dinosaur?
