I’m pleased to announce that Uncharted Worlds has hit its funding goal! With 24 days left in the Kickstarter, there’s a good chance we’ll hit the Stretch Goals as well, which pleases me greatly. Thank you all for your continued support!

Hi there Sean, great work so far on this game.
Hi there Sean, great work so far on this game. I was wondering how the Assessment move from UW compared with the Read a Sitch and Read a Person moves from AP. Could the Assessment move be used in similar situations? Could you asses the situation in the heat of battle, or analyse another ship or vehicle through scanners? Could you try to assess whether the person talking to you is actually lying or feeling agitated? Just wondering what’s the actual scope of the move, or what situations it is intended to cover.
Also, on another topic, I’ve noticed that the Debt / Favor feature disappeared from the Acquisition move in the Preview Chapter. Are these removed from the game entirely, or just missing from the current preview version?
If the character creation app stretch goal is reached, would it be open sourced so people could contribute?

Cross-pollination!

If I can be human for a moment… embarrassingly, I’m a bit of a social media Luddite (which I’m sure you can tell by now), so I’ve stayed off the radar in that sense. Publishing UW has rather forced me into these arenas, and not in a gentle way either. It’s why I’ve been asking so many people to ‘boost the signal’ or share with their friends on other forums/media; I really need the exposure, but I cringe at the thought of exposure.
My back brain is screaming “What have you done?! This isn’t introverted at all! This isn’t even extroverted! It’s… ULTRAVERTED! It’s so beyond -verted it’s horizontal.”
We’ve pushed past the half-way point on the Uncharted Worlds Kickstarter.
We’ve pushed past the half-way point on the Uncharted Worlds Kickstarter. Thank you all for your support! I’d love to keep this momentum going a little longer, to get this thing funded by the weekend. I’m sure we can do it. Post, tweet, etc, keep the signal alive.
In other news, I’ll be making a video blog type thing this weekend, the first of a series. Should the first video be about How To Play in a general sense? Or should it be about character creation? Or something else?
I’ve just shared a folder of preview chapters:

Take a look! I’ll be adding new preview chapters to that folder as time progresses.
Hey Sean, fellow sean here
Hey Sean, fellow sean here,
I’m trying to start a quick and deadly playtest and pit my group against some hordes of swarm aliens. I just have a couple questions:
1. In the charts for weapon upgrades certain classification have included tags such as the +Knockdown tag for Large Melee. Does this included tag count towards the weapon’s total weapon class?
So if someone has a large weapon: +Knockdown +Sever is it a class 1 or class 2 weapon.
2. Are any of these weapons supposed to have a base damage? Or is damage handled by a mechanic that I’m missing?
3. Does it change the game too radically to have the players pick only one room on their starship from their careers and make them share a crew at the beginning? I feel like this would leave a long road for improvements that feel satisfying and give them a “rebel” feel but I wonder if it gimps their opportunities in the beginning.
Thank you for all your help and the wonderful content you’ve created and for being willing to share it while it is being fine tuned.
