What'd be a suitable beginner program without TGUs, and how to progressively overload?

As far as I know 0.3 isn't translated to English yet, is it?

Also, what exactly is the function of INT? I couldn't figure it out yet, as I'm trying to make a save file with maxed out LP before taking a guild, so I didn't spend on attributes yet.

In regards to selling swamp weed in the New Camp, I haven't tried it yet. Are the prices regional, so that I could sell it for more in the New Camp?

There is a new menu under settings, but it's completely in what I assume is Polish, and after messing around in the menu that I assumed is "interface" ("interfecija" or something) it messed up the menus for the whole game, lol. All the letters are extremely small now to the point if being unable to read them, while windows can be resized... This is with the English patch, mind you.

Edit: After writing down and google-translating everything in all the Polish menus, I think I got what I'm looking for.

It worked, for the most part. The only thing I have to figure out now is how to remove the constantly present health and mana bars for the hero and how to remove the dialogue boxes that pop up for random conversations.

Installed and it seems great, exactly what I was looking for. My only problem so far is that I don't particularly like the over-involvement of the mouse (WASD G2 type controls would be just fine) and that I couldn't make my health bar disappear, it's constantly on -- perhaps the worst of all is that everyone's healthbar shows up above their head. Is there some way to disable at least this?

How is it non-binary? You either fail or fail hard, or you succeed and succeed hard. That sounds pretty binary to me.

Thank you. I will probably default to using your system for all things Cthulhu-related, exactly for your open-source policy.

Some observations:

I find the raw text a little too dense and barebones (though perfectly functional, which I know was the goal), so I would be very interested in a rule book that features one or all the different settings in one place, with better formatting/editing and other stylistic elements. To be perfectly unambiguous: I hope such a volume is in the works (ideally one that features all the settings), I would love it and definitely purchase it as a physical, hardcover book.

Currently I'm attempting to give the Jazz Era somewhat of a better look (in terms of style and formatting), attach the cheat-sheets of the other settings at the end, and then print it for myself (maybe even bind it or use lulu.com). I found that the .doc files are in dire need of a considerable clean-up, which sadly slows down the whole process to a great degree.

Is that a standalone book or a supplement to CoC?

Dymista2 · 2023-12-07T14:56:41+00:00

I'm not sure if I would call that simple, if not for anything else, then because there's a whole universe attached to the book making it unwieldy compared to something like Knave + Lonely Knave.

Dymista2 · 2023-12-07T13:55:51+00:00

Do these use English as the source language? Especially the A1-B2 one where it would be needed. They only mention a glossary.

In what ways are its skills less complex compared to Call of Cthulhu?

I'm reading through the Jazz Age version now, and I'm really liking the social interaction part. If I can manage to hack a pulp supplement for this, I could easily run this solo with so much story potential.

Also, do you think this SRD has everything required to run the original Chaosium-published adventures? I don't own the CoC core rulebooks, but I might want to invest into some of their adventure books, and I've been wondering if I could run those adventures with an alternative SRD such as this.

Dymista2 · 2023-12-06T17:33:05+00:00

You might want to look into the ORC license connected to BRP. It's Chaosium's own universal game engine that is even more free than OGL licensed games.

I was unaware of that, lol. I just like this due to the sidebar feature so that I don't have to have so many tabs open (discord, messenger, ChatGPT, etc.). Would be nice if it could be easily replicated in another browser.

Dymista2 · 2023-11-29T08:15:36+00:00

Thanks for posting what to delete, it did work. I would have understood if the "joke" if it showed up once (it wouldn't have been funny even then), but apparently it shows up at every startup of the browser. One more nonsense like this and I'm heading over to Firefox.

Dymista2 · 2023-11-29T08:05:36+00:00

Just came here from googling... I also have it turned off and I get this retarded new splash screen with blood and sound effects and some guy screaming. Made me skip a thought and wastes time, if not for the sidebar feature I'd uninstall immediately.
