Oh, that would be interesting to implement!! Especially since the design decision of a player (the Storyteller) preparing a plot (perhaps inspired by a recently read book)

Thanks! I am really into russian avant-garde right now. It's so easy for me to apply using simple tools.

I think there is an interesting space for using the "enemy & railroading GM" (The Storyteller, The Whites) not as a hostile practice, but as part of the design of the game, encouraging the players, (through their Characters, The Reds) to overthrow that position.

The videogames I mentioned seem to have overcomed that topic, so there we go!

Thanks a lot!

¡Muchas gracias Yeray!

Muy buenas, me alegra leer que has disfrutado entre las páginas de este juego.

A la pregunta de si lo recomendaría en solitario; cuando lo diseñé y publiqué no había jugado a juegos de rol en solitario,  por lo que la componente conversacional tiene mucho peso en la formación de escenas (me apoyo en los principios de impro y estructuro cómo enlazar esas historias).

Dicho la cual, creo recordar que hay dos secciones donde sugiero que se puede jugar a) interpretando a los personajes en primera persona o b) contando la historia de aquel lugar desde la perspectiva de unas abuelitas sentadas en la calle, en una noche de verano.

Esta última opción es la que recomendaría para un juego en solitario. Narras frases breves sobre una anécdota que ocurrió en un lugar, pero sin que interactúen (como si pensaras en voz alta). A veces podrás sorprenderte en las contradicciones, no las deseches, úsalas para escalar hacia el objetivo de la escena y cuando lo creas oportuno, cesa las narraciones de esas abuelitas y tira los dados.

Espero haberte ayudado y que lo puedas disfrutar en solitario :)

Thanks, (not) Reviewer 1 😊

Muchísimas gracias Yeray, espero que encuentres ese momento para leerlo con calma y, que lo disfrutes. ☺️☺️

Wow! I've discovered this thanks to a search in YouTube about "special relativity in acelerated frames" and -I'm not going to lie to you- I thought at first it was a GeoGebra animation, but I'm fascinated.

This is even better for the main porpurse of offering an intuitive picture of the phenomena. I'm going to tell my collegues about your application. Great job and thanks for sharing!

Me ha gustado mucho la propuesta, me parece un buen ejercicio de contar una historia integrado en una actividad de visión espacial.

Me ha dejado pensando en la colocación exacta de las piezas para que no sobre ninguna en el tablero 10x10.

Me ha gustado mucho la propuesta. Integrar el contar una historia a través de la visión espacial es un aspecto muy interesante de diseño!

I love the concept! The prompts tables (The Atlas) seems to work very well as an oracle as each planet (pile) feels very unique. Would you say that certains decissions during gameplay favours the best ending or it goes completly on the luck of the journey?

Para cualquier duda o comentario sobre la jam, este es el espacio para ello :)

Ya tenéis disponibles la versión final con veinticuatro (24) cartas de claroscuro.

He actualizado con una nueva versión. Ocho (8) cartas nuevas de claroscuro.

Revised, corrected and uploaded :D

Oh, thank you! I'm going to check them right now and re-upload it ❤️

Muy evocador, me ha recordado al videojuego The Forgotten City. Las preguntas para alcanzar el final me parecen magníficas para abrazar la propuesta y motivar la cooperación de la mesa de juego.

¡Muchas gracias por compartirlo!

CONSERVATIVE: Humanity first, even if we have to leave behind thousands to save a million.
Topics: preservationism, isolationism, security.

PRAGMATIST: Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Once you cross the door, you are on your own.
Topics: Do-it-yourself, technology, prosperity.

DIDEROTIAN: We’re all alone, we’re all lost. We look for a mirror out there, we get nothing.
Topics: nihilism, iconoclasm, individualism.

STRUCTURALIST: Centralize the Bureau. Keep it secret, but operate as a whole, p2p is outdated.
Topics: hierarchy, legitimacy, stability.

ENOCHIAN:Thousand tongues speak as One. We must rebuild Babel Tower and God's work.
Topics: religion, xenophilia, community.

ALEXANDRIAN: The true burden is all the knowledge that will be lost if we don’t act.
Topics: research, science, history.

Cosmos, humanity, technology, colonialism, exploration... The Bureau is a myriad of opinions. They tend to cooperate achieving a common ground in matter of how to approach an Event, but sometimes are the Pandora Gate of a big misfortune. Intels, an agent who posses some information and need assitance in a task to do another, must balance and think carefully who they are sending on a mission, because their job -even their lives- depends of the success of an Event. 

There are six stances along the Agents of the Bureau, funded by their members, governments and particulares of the Solar System and some exo-colonies:

• GATECRASHERS  OF ISHTAR 

Retouch me. Repair me. But let it be known
that when you see me, I will be restored.

-Diana Brebner, The Ishtar Gate: Last and Selected Poems.

[Agent Carthage]:

There is nothing more human than the ability to cope with adversity, not flesh and bone, but the diligent use of technolog, that's what transhumanity principles stand for. It is true that on numerous occasions it has been the trigger for great dangers to humanity itself, just as it has been the interface with which to understand and manipulate the very nature of the universe.  We haven't vanquished ourselves of the fate of the galaxy yet as some ancients civilizations already did. Their remnants will help us to understand and improve our tools, as we are the guardians of the Gates. We are the best las hope of the exo-colonies and the first and last stand of the Solar System. If the Gates fall, we will be ashes to ashes.

• ETYMOLOGIST OF SILENCE 

Silence is a lesson learned through life’s many suffering.

-Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger.

[Agent Mist]:

A great tactician creates plans. A good tactician, recognizes the soundness of a plan presented to him. A fair tactician, must see the plan succeed before offering approval. The greatest victory is the one acomplished without a battle. Those with no tactical ability at all, may never understand or accept it. Nor will such people understand or accept the Silence as a tool. There's no spirituallity in this, only cold minded protocols and the capability of the etymologists to operate alone, deepn inside the darkness, isolated at dozen of light years away, making trembling the pillars of an alien civilizations before they make the same with us. Beacuse they are already between us, friend or foe. Silence is a journey, not a destiniy.

• LIBRARIAN OF SESHAT

You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative.

-William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch. 

[Agent Shifter]:

I once read that if this universe seemed scary, I should try to get to know the others. The really scary thing is that there is no need for multiverses, no need for non-Euclidean lucubrations, we just wrongly assumed the whole foundation of reality and as soon as we started scratching on its surface, pieces of shrapnel shot out violently. Aliens also have these problems, but that only adds to the difficulty of the equation. The only thing to hope for is to retain the lost knowledge of other civilizations until humanity shares the same fate in Oblivion.

• EPISTOLAR OF TARSUS 

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

-Paul of Tarsus, The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans.

[Agent Pebble]:

There is potential interest in taking a team of physicians and biologists on a mission. The first is to serve as a guardrail for the newcomers, but the veterans already know that if something wrong happens, nothing and no one can save them, unless holding them in agony guarantees them a fate worse than death itself. We are a beacon of light and hope. And the second reason to bring some Epistolars is that  we are also a bastion  of understanding. We analyze the fauna, the flora and, with luck, the corpse of some deceased intelligent alien specimen. We bring a greater understanding of their body and, with that information, we hope to have an advantage to better understand their soul.

•  SWORD OF DAMOCLES

Every man, woman and child lives under a nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident, or miscalculation, or by madness.

-John F. Kennedy, Address before the General Assembly before the United Nations (25 September 1961).

[Agent Mercy]: 

Some Events require quicker and more accurate judgment, and by quicker and more accurate I mean a reliable weapon and defense systems that can withstand the first surprise hit. Luckily they end up being the majority, I still remember that raid, where we had to split our forces between the two opposing alien sides because there was no winning option that was useful to us. In the end we had to opt to release an electromagnetic viral storm from another alien mission, sentencing our own troops to death. I was there and I made that decision. The First War never happened, but vengeance lurks behind every  Gate.

• KNIGHT OF THE HOLY CONTACT 

We are humanitarian and chivalrous; we don't want to enslave other races, we simply want to bequeath them our values and take over their heritage in exchange. We think of ourselves as the Knights of the Holy Contact. This is another lie. We are only seeking Man. We have no need of other worlds. We need mirrors.

-Stanislaw Lem, Solaris.

[Agent Boricua]:

You may think these words are so deep, in this case you better apply other fields. Knights are the gentle and elusive face of the Bureau. Sending one Knight to a First Contact  Event is to assume a great failure or a great success, for all mankind. If the Bureau were a centralized agency, you can be sure that they would be expected to act as imperialists.  Luckily, even with a huge amount of classified funding from governments and particulars, we are a minutiae in the universe and we, the Knights, wear that heavy burden for all of us, for all of humanity of course. Knights are capable of a great amount of cynicism.

We are not alone in the hood and yet, the galaxy does not give a damm f*ck about us. Follow the First Contact Protocol and may you return in one piece. Screw up understanding a cryptic alien message and you've f*cked, with some luck, an entire extrasolar habitat, somewhere, at sometime… no pressure.

Welcome to The Bureau, agent. 

You will find six fields to apply:

Es parte del metajuego al que invito con la introducción del libro (en la línea de la novela El Hombre en el Castillo de Philip K. Dick). 

En la realidad descrita en esas páginas de introducción, el libro fue robado y su título es Un Mundo Precario, pero el interior de sus páginas está en inglés (justo al contrario que este). 

Mi versión favorita es la que el título está en esperanto: Preka Mondo, y el interior en latín.

Good idea. I don't know how to implement them in roll20, but I will give It a try. You can use, for the moment, Fate character sheet in roll20 or the editable character sheet but as a PDF file. I'll try to update it soon. Thanks for your comment, but most importantly, take care! 

Hello.

You're right. I thought I put attack symbol on retorics, drama and authority. I would use these skills to provoke and make morale harm as you comment.

For the stress, at first, characters were supposed to start with a unique single stress box, but it works in the same way as Fate core (+5 skill adds 2 stress boxes and an additional moderate consequence). 

If your character suffer and addiction it's a extreme consequence.

About Rougon-Macquart 0.9, I don't know if you've played Disco Elysium (of if you've discovered that character) maybe I should warn that it is recommended to have played the video game. It's not an object, but I think it's a good stunt (to literally bend the light) to illustrate that it's more powerfull than an aspect.

In the next weeks I'll check the typos, I'm aware that there are a lot. Thanks for taking your time and explaining your doubts. It's so crucial to me to improve the quality of my work :D

Aaaw, thanks for your words and I hope you find the manual useful for your game sessions, either as a GM or a player. I'm a little busy right now dealing with postgraduate and work, thanks for notice the typos. I want to check them out as soon as possible :D

Hello there!

Consider it done! I will be fully occupied with non-Force users labors (ie, studies and job) until mid of February, but I would love your idea of building a translation team. Please, contact me on my e-mail:

exilesandbetrayers@gmail.com

And may the Force be with you, always :)

Aw, thanks. Well, as long as we don't stop sharing free-content there's still hope :D
