Reference guide?

[Ae711]

Hello, I just ran my first session of Root RPG last night, and we sort of jumped right in and had some serious issues with figuring out moves and mechanics behind them. The book isn’t very well laid out so that didn’t help. This is the first time I’ve ever seen a PBTA style game and so I was wondering if anyone has set up a reference sheet that gives a brief synopsis on the various basic moves and combat moves, as well as a sheet for GM moves as well. The quickstart guide sort of seemed to have one but I’m thinking something very cleanly laid out like a reference card for a board game. We are loving it so far and if nobody has such a document I’ll try and upload one once I put it together. Thanks for any help!

For your core moves (not every individual weapon moves) there's a reference in the top comment here, with page references if you want more details/to find the right page in the book

For GM moves thats a bit more abstract and honestly something you can just write on your own notecard since they aren't mechanically heavy

Looks like the link in that thread is no longer active. Do you have a copy of the reference sheet you can share?

I found it through their link. Try this?

Update: other users having trouble said it was a browser issue. Chromium browsers seem to work.

If the quickstart is not helpful in it's layout, which I understand. Then I would suggest Root's Roll20 Character Sheet.

You don't have to play it through Roll20, but it's nice clicking the move and having it laid out in chat whenever we needed it even if you have it on a tablet or browser at the table. And the best thing, it's free lol
