Just a Game - Playtest Packet - PbtA Version 2

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $0.00

This is a playtest packet.

This packet is the second rule build for the  Powered by the Apocalypse version of this game. The first build is still available from my publisher page.

There should be enough here for even people new to Powered by the Apocalypse games to try it out but do note that the packet does not have the sort of discussion on the intentions of the PbtA system you would find in other games using the system so it mght be best to have someone who has experience. The other games I borrowed concepts from are listed in the first page.

Note that the character art is currently filler from art I already owned connected to characters I have played in several different game systems over the past few years. Or have made and hope to play eventually. I hope to use the same artist for the finished product, however.

You're logging up on the computer, happily cracking open the brand new shiny MMO you just downloading from the company site, ready to make your character and start on a new set of adventures. But something changes when you click "start playing"....because instead of watching a load screen boot up, you find the world turning black and when you wake up it seems like you've become your character and the world around you is...is the tutorial mission. What the hell is going on here?

Or maybe you were putting on your VR sim helmet and about to boot up for some online virtual gaming and suddenly there's a madman telling everybody that they need to appreciate life more and so he's going to give them a real death game. Now you're stuck in the game and if someone tries to take the helmet off, it'll fry your brain. The only way to get out is to clear the game, but if you die in the game, you die in real life.

The rules in this packet are meant to recreate stories like those above. Stories where people find that the games they're playing have become very real indeed.

Sounds like the dot.hack computer games (PlayStation 2).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
