    Things are frustrating, and confusing, and scary. People dream up conspiracy theories to help make sense of things. They're not helpful, though, and only serve to make the world more confusing and scarier.

    We're not going to have that here. If there's new information to be shared, share it, but cite your information to a reputable source. And we swear to God, if anyone comes in here and starts spouting off QAnon bullshit about COVID-19 or literally anything else, you are going to get permabanned so thoroughly that your grandchildren won't be allowed to post here.

  • We have added a formal anti-racism policy to the rules. Please see the appropriate thread in Trouble Tickets.
  • In the last year the Asian-American and Pacific Islander community has increasingly been the target of hate and violence, with the recent shooting being only the most recent and horrific example. RPGnet stands in solidarity with that community. We all have an obligation to stand up against racism and bigotry in all its forms.

Downloaded and it looks like this could be fun, but only until you start wanting more and house ruling the heck out of it. While I'm all for an old school tone (and think C&C fits old school with new mechanics perfectly), games like this just don't quite catch on for one reason: RPG's in the 70's and 80's weren't as simple as they were entirely on purpose, but because nobody had thought of newer more complex stuff yet.

That being said, a lot of love and sweat has obviously gone into this game, and when they release the full rules I'm sure it will be a heck of a lot of fun when trying to game within that niche. I'm excited for it.

Seeing how there are plenty of simple, lightweight games being made today entirely on purpose, I'm not sure I agree.

... Bloody stupid method of downloading it. I can't right click > save as, and it's not zipped, so every web browser I have tries to open it, rather than just download it.

Was about to dismiss it quickly when I saw all those weird zocchi dice being used but then I looked at the art. Wow. Brings back memories. Lots of artwork similar to old AD&D, 1st edition Dark Eye art. Will give it a more detailed look later and post my impressions.

Love the art, love the esoteric rules. I actually love the Zocchi dice thing.

Because it's just...I mean, the meat grinder mentality, pure randomness pretending to be "balance", the funky dice, the random career table...
