Rather than my own scenario I’ve decided to run Glitch City for Dragon Con games on demand. In addition to any general advice people might have, I also had a question regarding when do flashbacks occur? The text implies whenever a player does a move but that seems too frequent? Is it something players call? In PbTA one shots I like to be liberal with the XP so players can get a taste of advancement-so I’m thinking of leaving flashbacks up to the player and rewarding an XP to encourage them to explorer the questions in their play books.

On Saturday at Gen Con I got to play The Sprawl in the morning and The Veil in the afternoon so an awesome day of PbTA cyberpunk goodness! Had a great time playing both and it was cool to play back to back the very different approaches to the genre using AW. Was surprised how well states worked out even though my fellow The Veil players were coming from a more trad RPG background.

It’s incredibly annoying but Drivethru just resolved whatever issue was going on with updating files.

It’s incredibly annoying but Drivethru just resolved whatever issue was going on with updating files. When we updated the other day and sent out the email the files still said 2P and 2P ref sheets for the second printing stuff. This is wrong, it should just say “First Printing” and “Second Printing.” If you don’t have the files that say this, you’ve got antiquated files. It looks like it was resolved sometime between 1230 and a half hour ago or so when I checked and downloaded the files myself to make sure.

I also got a new piece of art for Cascade, check it out:

Trigger move for the Dying

Trigger move for the Dying

Trigger move for the Dying

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.

So, after uploading the new files like, 3 times?

So, after uploading the new files like, 3 times? I just deleted them all and re-uploaded them. Give it a few minutes for DrivethruRPG to get the files on their server and then give it another go. The last time the PDF was like cut in half? Whaaat?

The interface is stupid for updating notes too, I was waiting for the files to upload while I wrote my note and the gateway timed out and it looks like it sent out the unedited version of the note to everyone before I could look it over. Jeez.

You’ll know the files are updated easily by just looking at the first full page illo of the core text, if the picture has more than a head only, it’s updated.

Reference sheets, if there are boxes around the states to indicate which are paired and terms are in caps, you’re fine.

Just so you know everyone: the international store is completely sold out of The Veil after the Cascade Kickstarter…

Just so you know everyone: the international store is completely sold out of The Veil after the Cascade Kickstarter (wow!). That just leaves those copies available at IPR. I’m not sure if they’re tracking the numbers on hand very well, I think they might look at the stock monthly, but that’s just a guess. I’ve checked how many they say they have every few weeks and sometimes the number doesn’t change at all despite having been messaged by people who bought copies….sooo who knows!

We will for sure need a second print run, which is amazing! So, I scanned the InDesign file of what should have been used for the first printing and was not, due to the printer’s error. Found 1 typo from that. And we just updated The Veil DrivethruRPG with the second print run files, which are pretty refined. There are move clarifications, terms that are capitalized, one less typo, etc.

I also was notified the original PDF bookmarks weren’t working anymore so manually fixed those. So, if you want to look at the 2nd print run PDF (and Ref sheets to match), you can download them now. And, if you somehow have a PDF without working bookmarks, you can also re-download the file with fixed bookmarks.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Hi, quick question about the Architect move “there is no spoon”: does it work in cyberspace only, or do the manipulative powers somehow bleed into reality? How can I add armor to a jacket by just acting on VR?
