DIE RPG 1.46

It’s been a while since we’ve released something publicly, because we’ve been working away on the (much messier) closed Beta and trying to arrange the material into a coherent manual for the eventual kickstarter release. Plans are for November, circa the final DIE trade. If all goes well, they’ll be a reminder link you can sign up to in the backmatter of DIE 20.

I felt in the meantime it was worth releasing a take on the current character sheets for DIE CORE (i.e. the standard non-campaign DIE game). There’s a lot of minor rules tweaks, and a whole bunch of complete overhalls - the Master is most notable, but there’s significant changes in almost all the classes.

These sheets have also been designed for the CORE game - which, as standard, has no advancement. As such, some elements have been removed. If you want to play with the Beta’s simplified advancement, you can grab stuff from the earlier sheets. Also expect typos, as this is quick and dirty.

We also have tweaked to the new core mechanic, which you’ll find explained on the cheat sheet. To transfer any pre-existing material to the new core mechanic you reduce all difficulties by 1. So a character with Defence of 1 would now have a Defence of 0.

Anyway - a taste of where we are. Hope you enjoy. As always, feedback always welcome.
