Not sure. Maybe.

Maybe the way it's notated is confusing me. See if I get it, now...

If an 8th Level magic-user puts "Minimal Will" or Effort into a spell, there's no danger if they fail, they will get a Partial Casting if they roll an 8 or above, and a Full Casting on a 12 or higher?

If they decide to put "Total Will" or Effort into the spell, it's easier to cast and they're more likely to manifest a Full Casting...but a failure will result in horrible consequences?

I love everything about this, except I don't understand your references to "putting Will into a spell" and how that influences a Full or Partial spell effect?  

I assume this is because you are referring to some spell procedure from your game of choice? But it's not laid out anywhere in this pamphlet that I can see...I may be missing it. What is the actual procedure for the action of casting a spell, investing Will into it, etc?

Just a note to let you know there's still interest here! 

Lately, I've become a little worried that Bastards might be fading out, as all its best content makers seem to be peeling off for new projects and systems. But I'm hoping that's just me being impatient for new awesomeness. 🤞 

Thanks very much for the reply!  That all sounds reasonable.

Again, I really love your layout and style on this...concise explanations, more classic fantasy than Into the Odd and closer to my feelings playing D&D as a kid than Cairn, yet still easily compatible with either. I'll definitely be following for more.

If you're ever looking for any more art collaborators for future products, I'm more than willing to send some samples.  

I just finished flipping through this, and I think it's a wonderful condensation and restatement of the Into the Odd rules! It does a very good job of concisely restating all of the general rules and concepts of ItO, while injecting your own small tweaks without them feeling "tacked on."

I VERY much like your one-page takes on the different races, and the similarity to the Bastionland and Cairn layout of a short description with some randomized backgrounds and gifts for each. This really is a great, rules-lite method of injecting any heritage or background variations anyone could ask for, regardless of genre!

I was puzzled by one thing...there are no wizards? I could almost understand if we didn't focus on making them a player option, but there isn't even discussion of magic-using entities in the NPC/Enemies section.

You mention "spells" a couple of times, instead of "songs" or "sagas," and I was wondering if this is a system you plan to expand upon later?

That’s great! I’ll email you, shortly!

You don't have any more physicals for sale, do you? 

You'd have to bring your own Solo Gaming oracle of choice to the table, but yes.

Was there a... question in there, somewhere?

So, how does this go together as one booklet?

If I print two-sided and assemble like a one-pager, half the information is inside the folds and unreadable.

Are there any rules already laid out in Cairn for creating scrolls? Like...a variant on Vancian magic that could make a lot of sense would be that magic users who don't want to risk lugging their books around could prepare a certain number of one-use scrolls per Long Rest?

For some reason, I can't get a PayPal payment to go through for this item? I keep trying and it keeps saying there's an error and try again later.

What is the mentioned Exclusive Content, and what price point was needed to obtain it? I purchased for the suggested $2.00.

Great, light weight system!

I assume this will have a physical copy available, at some point? 😃

Okay, that's what I originally thought but...like I said...it's not copying anything to my clipboard. ?

Love the generator!

Question...what is the "Copy" button supposed to do? I press it, but nothing happens and I do not end up with any information to Copy/Paste elsewhere.

It's at Spear witch NOW!

Please join us all in the 21st Century, and enjoy a plethora of purchasing methods that aren't tied directly to sharing your credit card info.

Yes, but you still have my money, and I still don't show these issues as "owned" by me. They are not in my Library, and I will not be able to download them again if I ever need to.

Hello?

Thank you.  gottgen@gmail.com

Seeing how you can help? Does the Support crew here not help walk you through things like this? 

This was the only response I got from them...

"Hello,

Thanks for reaching out. As this developer receives direct payments, it is possible that they may need to complete the sale on their end. We are including them on this email to attempt to complete the purchase."

Assuming I like the two I've purchased, I'd like to buy the rest...but I would like to be able to know that the transactions would go through correctly. lol

I ordered this zine and Issue 1 a few days ago, PayPal took my payment but there was an error with Itch.io.  I contacted Customer Service, and they said they contacted you about the orders. Could you please check into these for me?  Thank you.

If the paranormal energies inhabiting this manor were embodied as a Twinkie, how large would it be? ;)

Oooooh! I'm gonna try to wait for the physical, 'cause I've been snapping them all up. 

It's gonna be tough, though! 😁
