Hi. I would like to gm this /run in the upcoming weeks. I have one doubt, though. Where is Akuma's emotion track supposed to be in the pamphlet? Are the tiered emotions under Emotional Harm the Emotion track?
Hi! Thanks for the question.
I'm rereading the pamphlet and can see now where the confusion comes from.
In the Emotion Track section there's four diamond shaped boxes next to a text that says "Minor Threat" and four more diamonds below next to "Major Threat". The diamonds are the Emotion Track, it goes from 1 to 8 but are divided into two tracks of four to differentiate the Threat levels.
I'm doing some minor revisions on the pamphlet for the CBR+PNK: OVERLOAD and will attempt to make it clearer in the newer version.
Thanks again!
Thanks for your response. Sadly it is unclear to me, how does the track relate with those minor/major threat? Does Omega deploy one of those threats if the corresponding section is filled or what was your intention? How values are assigned to those emotions in the track to be later rolled with?
Omega deploys countermeasures as soon as the first memory is altered.
When a memory is altered you mark on the emotion track and make a record of the emotion that ruled the altered memory. For example, if the memory was changed from apathy to sadness you mark the emotion track and record "sadness" (sadly there's no space to record on the pamphlet itself, but any paper will do).
The section doesnt need to be totally filled. 1-4 marks on the emotion track means that the Omega considers the runners as Minor Threats, 5-8 marks mean Major Threat, those threat levels translate to the Emotional Dangers that can be deployed.
The last part of the run asks for a roll using the emotion on the emotion track, for that you just use the emotions that are repeated the most. For example: The most recorded emotion is sadness that appears 3 times, that means 3 dice. If all emotions are unique you roll a lower number of dice, if the runners aimed for repeated emotions the roll will have more dice. (When I wrote it I imagined people would use the emotions on the pamphlet -anger, joy, sadness, fear and their synonyms- and that would result in repeated emotions being more common but I've seen people do very different emotions for each memory and that affects a lot how the run ends.) (I may change that for the new version)
Hope this helps
Thanks a lot! Everything is clear now! Thanks for your patience, time and responsiveness.
Hi. Any chance to get a community copy? I just bought CBR+PNK Augmented. It's my first time as a GM and I don't know if this Run is suitable for me now. Thanks. Great work!
Just added some more.
Thanks a lot. Great design!
I'm really liking this one! Is there a version of the memory map without labels? I'm not sure if it would work without the labels or not, but it's a beautiful map!
Thanks! I didnt think of that, I'll make a version without the labels.
Much appreciated!
I've tried to purchase this via PayPal a few times, but it gives me an error and prevents me. Is there any way you can set this to use the itch.io "Pay with Card" option?
Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it.
Apparently, it went through a few minutes later, based on the email I got? Seems to have resolved, but it's a good head's up that there may be issues with the set-up or PayPal! Thanks for the quick reply!
Hello! Yesterday I run Mind the Gap and was mindblowing! I'm from Argentina, USD veeeery expensive for us. Any chance to get a community copy of your RUN?! I'm loving the game. Thanks!
Mind the Gap is really fun.
I'll look into how to add community copies, I'm new to itch.io.
Awesome! In Argentina USD is too expensive 😞🙂👌👌👌
