itch.io

Sure, if you email me at alwayscheckers at gmail dot com I can send it to you! Or message me on Kickstarter? :) Just need your email address!

I’ve emailed you the codes! They should have been emailed via Backerkit a while ago but hopefully you’ve got them now :)

Hey, if it was from a retailer they should have itch.io codes to give out, which have all the digital files! If that’s not possible please send me an email at alwayscheckers at gmail dot com and I’ll send you one. 

Ahh, that’s so good to hear! Thanks for coming back to let me know :D Congrats on running the event, sounds like they had a great time. 

Both Notorious and Outsiders have 76 pages

Hi Ziggy, I don’t think I received any emails but please get in touch using alwayscheckers at gmail dotcom :)

This has now been fixed in the latest version of the files.

Hey, that's awesome news! Glad they arrived in time and hope you enjoy the games :)

yep, it’s on my list to fix these and update the files very soon :)

For at least the next month you can get discounted copies here:

https://outsiders.backerkit.com/

After that I’ll probably put a physical bundle on my own site and look at what I can do on itch!

Glad you're enjoying it! :)

I haven't seen any homebrew content yet but I'm totally cool with it (as long as it doesn't re-use art or text from the game and isn't offensive etc.!).

Hi Dougal, retailers should have been emailed itch.io keys to go along with any physical copies of the game!
If you're able to leave an email address here I'll send you a key and then delete the comment so your email is not public.

Love it! Thanks for the comment, always makes my day haha 😁

That’s awesome, thank you! :D

I've just checked again and you're both right! Sections II and III are having this issue. I'll get the PDF fixed and re-upload when I get the chance :)

I tested the file just now and it was working fine! Which device/software were you using? :)

Yes that’s right! A roll of 6 is just a narrative question for you to consider/answer as you explore the planet, but you go back to Destinations afterwards.  

Hi, preorders are currently open for physical copies of notorious (and the new expansion) at this link:

https://outsiders.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Should be shipping in late February/March 2024 :)

1. They recover after every combat event! But not after every enemy if you’re fighting multiple hostiles. 

2. Nope, it’s all about your notoriety and the risk of it going wrong, giving the enemy a bonus to their attack. 

3. Yes, working your way up from the weakest one. If you fail, you don’t have to fight the ones you’ve successfully threatened. 

4. Yes, 6 of each!

5. It’s up to you as the player and how you would like the story to go. Either count it as you let them get away when calculating your final score, or continue the loop and assume they are the next lead/target you meet. 

Hope that helps! 

Hey, I'm hoping the digital version will be available by the end of this month!

February by the latest :)

Hey! You can actually preorder a physical copy of Notorious (and/or the Outsiders expansion) on BackerKit right now:

https://outsiders.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Preorders will likely be closing in a few weeks, then it will be available again on my store at a slightly higher price.

Ahh that sucks, sorry. I'm not sure if it helps at all but late pledges are open on BackerKit if they offer better payment options?

Hey, I've sent you an email with a code!
It's been more difficult than I expected to send out the Notorious codes before the BackerKit survey :)

Thanks for the comment Bill! Love seeing examples of people's stories and writing. Hope you enjoy BoB and only a few weeks until the Kickstarter launches now :)

Hey, I've uploaded a grayscale version of the file which should hopefully do the trick :)

Good spot - that’s annoying! I’ll try and update the files at some point but you have the most up-to-date version at the moment  

I believe it’s supposed to be the same as the prompt above it: results of 1-2 and 3-6. 

That’s awesome, thanks! It was inspired by playing Ronin (linked in the text above) - you should check it out if you like the system.

I honestly haven’t given much thought to anyone else making their own content for Notorious as I’ve been busy working on an expansion!

I’m absolutely fine with it though, monetised or not - just the usual caveats (please include some kind of credit, don’t directly copy any text or artwork and be clear that I haven’t approved the content or anything). :)

Hi, I’ve added some community copies so please feel free to claim one!

Hi, the physical copies are sold out right now (you can sign up to my newsletter for info on a reprint!) but postage to the UK is usually around £3-4 :)

Wow, that’s an incredible amount of words! I’m so happy the game inspired you :) 

Thanks so much for playing and leaving your review! 

Thanks for the comment and the recommend :) Glad you had fun!

Hey! That's very kind but there's no need - I'll add some new community copies today :) I didn't actually notice that they had all been claimed.

Thank you for the nice comments! :)

Hi Mark, that’s correct! Ship NPCs are potential rewards from certain events, like Useful Items. 

They should be created naturally through following the event cycle and generating contracts/passengers 
(although it’s technically possible to never earn one...!)

Hope you enjoy the game! :)

Yes, but not until later this year (Q3/4) at the earliest. I'm planning a Kickstarter for an expansion/sequel (with the original game also available in print).

However, I'll probably be running a Kickstarter for a different game first—sorry about the wait :)

Hi, thanks for picking up the game! 

I don't have any immediate plans to use this system again (beyond an expansion for Notorious later this year). But I agree there's a lot of potential and I could see myself coming back to it one day! Maybe someone else will be inspired in the meantime :)

Thanks for writing this, I really enjoyed reading the extended playthrough! It's fascinating to see how everyone ties their stories together in different ways. 

Your childhood also sounded a lot like mine, although I was definitely a Raphael kid...

I read the whole thing! You did a great job of tying the story together - thanks for sharing. I hope other people check it out and feel inspired.

Thank YOU for playing! It can be tough to get a regular group. Hope solo games are helping to scratch that itch a bit :)

That’s awesome, good luck with the book! If you enjoy creative writing can I suggest you check out Bucket of Bolts (by Jack Harrison, who did the layout for Notorious).
