TFA2 Version 1.4 Play-Test Up


It's a day late, but version 1.4 of the Techno-Fantasy Adventure 2nd Ed. play-test doc is now up. Here is the link. 

And here is the change log: 

Changes from Version 1.3 - 1.4

* Changed Overcharge to a flat +2 extra damage. 

* Added an escalating X-Factor mechanic that places more X-Factor chits in play over time. 

* Changed enemy deployment for the Rescue scenario.

* Added the "Heat" score and Traveling to the Post-Battle. 

* Clarified the Command Trait and made it the TN lower. 

* Lowered the TN on most Traits that also require the expenditure of a Luck point. 

* Added the Scavenger Trait

* Removed Training Corps from the Questing section of the Post-Battle, and replaced it with Recruit Reserves. 

These are not the only changes, but are what I consider the major ones. I am getting close to the version that will go to layout. My cutoff date for major changes is 3/10. 

Let me know what you think here, on the FCS FB Group, or on BlueSky. 

Thank you as always for reading!

Exploring the Essence of Grimme Perils

Following on the release of Grimme Perils: 2d6 Gritty Fantasy RPG, I thought it might be helpful to release a summary of the most important rules. When we release the offset print edition (fingers crossed on this), these key notes will comprise the end-papers of that fancy edition.  You can find the free 4-page PDF of the Rules Brief here .  It covers the basics of Stats, action checks, boons & banes, initiative, combat, darkness, magic, and more!  So what's the elevator pitch for Grimme Perils?  If you're searching for any of the following aspects in a fantasy RPG, GP  is worth a look:  2D6-based action resolution Medium-level rules crunch Human-centric character creation Dangerous combat with consequences Versatile magic system Slick rules for Darkness / Light Clever and easy rules for consumables A dash of dark Faerie Tale flavor GP didn't just appear, fully formed on the page. It's creation was inspired by some of my favorite games, including: Basic...

First Post, Test Post!

This is the first post of the Four Color Studios blog. Check our web site for a complete list of products and where you can acquire them is here .   My goal with this site is to create a one-stop shop for announcements around projects I am working on, or sessions of my games I am running. I am also intending to cover hobby projects related to my games, including painting, terrain building, and products (minis, terrain, paints, etc.) I have bought or intend to buy for the hobby.  I may occasionally also cover comic books on this site as well. We'll see!  I will start things off with the covers to my next game, Villain Mission Force , due out in late February or early March 2025!

An Offer Made in Thanks & Celebration

Image
 Right now times are tough and things remain uncertain. I find myself wanting to do something, even a small something, for the folks who've followed and stuck with me all these years.  One of my players' VMF PCs entertains MODOK.  What I want to do is give two people each a free copy of the spiral bound VMF rules. The catch is you have to be in the USA, and you have to not otherwise be able to afford it yourself at this time. I understand folks might not want to advertise this, so I will take the first two people who reach out to me via the FCS contact form . Make sure you include your mailing address! Get your gratis copy while they last!  Thanks for reading, and stay safe!  --Scott
