I will be sending it to all my younger friends in the hobby who find GMing arcane and onerous. Just what the doctor ordered.

+1 on single pages

I have used Lulu for my personal, on-demand printing needs. But definitely a +1 for a print book. Anything I want to keep and pass down to posterity I pick up in a physical form. Anything I just want to have fun with but doesn't peak my philosophical interest I get in pdf. I can imagine this beside my copies of Bushido, Mysteries of the Yokai, Sengoku, etc.

Oh, and I like the sidenotes. I find them informative and entertaining ... and therefore useful.

Sure thing! Great game, thanks for that.

Is it me, or do the links for GLAIVE_v2.pdf and GLAIVE_v2_Spreads.pdf go to the same file ('spreads'). Is there no 'pages' file anymore?

Happy Birthday, Hodag!

Mental Health issues are rough and becoming endemic to our time and culture. Thank you for helping to remove the stigma by posting about it openly.

Just what's needed for the moment we are in.

You are welcome. And, Thanks!

You write: "If you'd like to preview NO ONE OWNS THE SKY before buying it here, consider visiting Junk History for a free plaintext version of the game." That link no longer appears to be valid. Just fyi...

I had not noticed this initially, seems obvious now. Nice! I've been nostalgic regarding Greyhawk of late ;) Thanks for the reminder.

Cool!
Actually, one could say the original 1e AD&D Bard class was the original prestige class, so the concept goes further back than 3e. But it was much, much harder to become a 1e Bard than it was to enter any of the 3e prestige classes.

You write: "Reworked Alignment and Morality based on real Chivalric values and sources such as Aquintas, Chauncer and more!" I assume you mean Aquinas rather than Aquintas ;)
Looks very interesting.

Sounds like a natural and inevitable progression to me. I, for one, would love to see a standalaone version of Endeavor.

Just a note to say your description includes some naked html ... how embarrassing ;)

I grew up on  the late 70s early 80s punk scene in Austin Texas so I Gotta tell ya:  I love the concept! And Cthulhu Dark provides a great core ruleset for running the scenario.

Hello. Great game. Love the setting details and mood. I was wondering, however, if in the section on Divination Mechanics, the first sentence SHOULD read "The Hunter states what they wish to find out about the hunt they are on..." rather than what is printed which is "The Hunter states what they wish to find out about the hunter they are on...". That is, I expect that the second use of 'hunter' should be changed to 'hunt' ... right?
Cheers!

N i i i i c e !

As a grognard who originally started with the White Box's little brown booklets and Chainmail in the 1970s, I am delighted to see this redux with better organization, explanation, and integration. For those who want to get the real old-school feel without having to figure it all out for yourselves (I remember the constant flipping through all the books to figure out the intent) ... this is the real deal.

The cover is quite reminiscent of Jacquays' Caverns of Thracia---one of my favorite Judges Guild adventures. I ran it as soon as it came out. Nice work.

Great game! I just bought a printed copy. But ... my v1.03 pdf has some elements in the sidebar table of contents (viewable when open in a pdf reader) that do not correspond to anything in the document. For instance the sub-links, "Weapon" and "Armour" (under Treasure) should probably be be removed and "Magic Item Effect" added instead. Haven't looked at all the sub-links ... maybe when I get more time. Anyway, just fyi. Love the game and keep up the good work.

In the descriptive text above you have: "Runes work as in Spell Friend and Enter, but the tiles must be boned to the object via a material related to the effect." I assume "boned" should be bonded. Haven't looked at this yet, but very interested.

Looks interesting!. But at the moment the BETA0.1.5 RULES SUMMARY.pdf file has 0 bytes and is empty and unopenable. Just fyi ...

Brilliant! Frankly, gaming should always combine social commentary and personal enrichment ... not in a club-you-over-the-head manner, but not so subtle as to be missed either. It requires finesse. Well and timely done.

I've played TTRPGs since the late 70s and TT Miniature Wargames since the early 70s (even created my own in the early 80s) and I must say, this looks very interesting.

Much appreciated ... simple aid---in many cases already in use---nice to have it all laid out and neat and collected in one place!

I will totally understand if you choose not to do it given those reasons, but if I remember correctly Lulu will actually take your print books and distribute to Amazon for you, all you need to do (I think) is make sure to get an ISBN and make certain selections in the admin area. https://www.lulu.com/sell/retail-distribution

But, that said, I can't blame anyone for not wanting to go there ;)
I'd just like to be able to support indie game developers and that is the only place I can do it with any regularity but my occasional $$$ will not make or break anyone so it certainly is not worthwhile doing it on my account ... only if you get a goodly number of people asking for it. Thanks for even considering it. That alone is something.

Love the feel of these rules.

+1 on Amazon. I am disabled and without income but I occasionally receive Amazon gift cards for Holidays. So I can't pay for things most places (Lulu, DrivethruRPGs, Itch) but I can occasionally get $tuff on Amazon. And, while I dislike Bezos and Amazon generally, I know some people who work there (Unionize!) that still need to pay their bills so...

@Perplexing Ruins : Nice, I was just about to ask for an Affinity version ;)
@Chaoclypse : Can't wait to get into this. Thanks for sharing!

I was just wishing there was a Mazes QuickStart and lo and behold what to my wondering eyes should appear ... Looks fabulous.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

Wonderful! Also ... TrollBabe doesn't get much love (the name doesn't help) ... but it has its brilliance. Nice to hear someone mention it.

Just started reading and saw this: "explores dawn the roles of researches" which should probably read as follows: "explorers don the roles of researchers". Just a heads-up. Cheers!

[ Unless that is all part of the "metajoke" which Classless Kobolds spoke of and my reading of the rules has just not yet progressed far as to allow me to appreciate ;) ]

You're welcome! Just belatedly got around to giving a rating. Really Great work. Anxiously awaiting the full game.

Now, why didn't I come up with that name. Kudos! Solid game.

+1 to pages vs spreads

Understood and appreciated.

Thanks! That Doctorate in Theology is finally paying off ;) ... seriously though: every writing and composition instructor I ever had said to write what you know.  I used my own particular faith tradition as the model for the base religion and the antinomian offshoot is also based on a real-world mutation of it. Truth is stranger than fiction, as they say.

 Thanks for that option, Boxman214! An 80 page  B&W standard paper softcover runs about $5 for printing and binding at DTRPG and about the same through Lulu. That'd be $13.50  with PrintMe1. Would you be willing to speak as to whether the paper quality or binding quality or shipping charges are better? I'm curious as to what might justify the difference in price. But, again, thanks for the option. The more options out there the better. I have several more scholarly works in the pipeline and DTRPG is not really the place for that ;)
