Caltrop core seems to have a lot of the chaos of TSL (and other PbtA games), but with looser rules and simpler probability. A true rules light system. I like the idea of getting tokens of fate changing karma, for giving up mere stuff. Really encourages anti capitalist behavior. EAT TEH RICH. ahem.

Its a bit of a hard one to judge and a bit difficult to playtest but reading through what you have, it seems interesting. Some wardrobe malfunctions for RPGs seems like a nice addition for a group that is okay with it. I shall need to rate this as best as I can with the criteria for the jam, but this seems quite interesting. ~
Neat! It's a fun concept and I appreciate that (ongoing! and specific!) consent is a big focus of the document. I hadn't heard of Caltrop Core before, but it seems interesting. And the idea of creating mechanical support for stripping with simple tokens is cool.
Its difficult to rate this appropriately, but from my impressions reading this, while I understand this was written as a standalone RPG system, It lacks a lot of the details to help players actually setup their own actual game session.
I can see it being a fun rule addition to existing RPG systems to incentivise the risk/reward of stripping
I can't playtest this game, so I will have to make some guesses for my ratings.
It's an interesting concept, but I think the document could be organized better to showcase what it's all about. The sections are split by slightly different header and sub-header sizes, which makes it difficult to parse though quickly or to use as a reference if printed. A different way to indicate when a new concept is being discussed would help organize things a bit. Since the rules are fairly simple, an example play session and maybe a few more images could help new players visualize how this works.
A reorganization is definitely something I was thinking about even as I was writing the text, but hey deadlines are deadlines and I got started late. I’ll take this with me if I ever do an update, in the mean time thank you for not only dropping in to give feedback but for checking my game out in the first place!
Definitely unique to see tabletop game rulebooks submitted, this one is pretty good!
The whole stripping aspect is something I can definitely get behind, lots of fun to be had there! Nice addition to have the veils and X card stuff too.
Unfortunately I don't have much of a way to play, so I'm basing my judgement just on how I imagine a game of this going, which in my mind sounds like a fun afternoon gatehred around a table with friends. Anything that gets them all in one place to have a good time is great, so this gets an overall positive from me!
It’s a nice framework! I appreciate the heavy emphasis on consent and communication.
Thank you! I wanted to emphasize consent partly as a statement of intent (and in case people approached this as one of their first TTRPG experiences). I don’t really have bad experiences around nudity so it’s easy for me to laugh at but for many others that balance swings firmly in the other direction and it’s important that these people don’t feel laughed at. It’s a silly goof and the last thing I want is for someone to get hurt by it.
really interesting idea, I like the idea of a strip tabletop game
