This is an intriguing recruiting mechanism that seems like it could be used in a longer campaign as a secondary story arc. Who’s recruiting and for what purpose? Combined with physical tasks/challenges as part of the clue hunting would open this to teamwork.

Cryptographic scavenger hunt.

This is an old post, but a very intriguing idea. And interesting that those that get into the private challenges seem to have kept the secret if they figured out who was running this.

Finding (PbtA) RPG Translators

This may not be the most appropriate forum for this question, but based on a recent post by Mike Espinoza and the ensuing discussion, this might be exactly the right forum.

So, imagine you have a PbTA game in a foreign language, and you want to get it translated into another language. How do you find a translator that can do that, and how do you finance it?

For my specifics, I’m looking to get a French game, Librete, translated into English. The designer, Vivien Feasson ran it for a group of us at Gauntletcon and it was amazing. Unfortunately, it’s only in French at this time…

Aside from the dark setting (kids stolen into a world of rain with creepy monsters that form out of rain puddles), the mechanics are statless, with the option to use a currency called “Black Bile” to boost your rolls. You gain this currency when, corresponding to your playbook, something disempowering happens to your character.

Here’s the link to the AP, if anyone is curious.

Open to thoughts — I really want to see this in English. I could pump it through Google Translate, but I think that would give me an entirely different game, you know?

Plank has undertaken a $5.5 billion, 20-year development project called Port Covington. When complete, it will be a shimmering world of modular glass towers and manicured green spaces with luxury housing, luxury shops, and a luxurious new Under Armour campus.

Baltimore has much too offer for the classic cyberpunk dystopian setting, already a city with intense, passionate contrasts of local historic neighborhoods and shiny new…arcologies?

Sarah Richardson​ At DexCon you had some brilliant dice, with a peace sign for the 6 and the “flying eagle” for the one. Are those available now, or are they planned for the KS?

I believe this is the latest text. A few things confuse me:

1) When rolled, does the player always take Harm, or is that on a 10+?

2) “The MC chooses 2 from the 7-9 list below.” The second sentence in this move also says on a 10+ the MC chooses 1…” Which is it? 1 or 2?

3) No mention is made of marking a spike, but I assume you do.
