Hello,

Congrats on the funding! Very interesting system, but any plans to publish it as something else than a website?

Thanks!

Hey! Thank you 😁

I thought about doing a pdf version of Charge, but I was waiting for the game to be sent to the editor first.

The benefit of a website is that updating it means that everyone looking at it will see the newest version immediately.

The srd is going to have its own itch page and will be released as a PDF as well. 😊

But I have a question for you, out of curiosity. Why would you like the game as a PDF compared to the websites version?

Oh, it's pretty simple, I like to keep my ever-growing collection of digital rpgs well-ordered on my hard drive, and my years of online life have taught me to distrust online services - once bitten, twice shy, eh?

Also, with spotty internet service, It is convenient and reassuring to have an offline document.

Cheers!

I think that's a pretty fair reason to favour PDFs over other types of medias! Those are good points.

So yeah, I think that once Charge and the SRD are edited, I'll work on a PDF version.

I already have Affinity Publisher, so why not!

Hey! I just wanted to say the SRD is now available in PDF form here: https://fari-rpgs.itch.io/charge-srd

Happy New Year!

well, I was about to ask the same thing. Being in the military and all, pdf version really helps!!

There's a markdown version available if that helps? Otherwise I'll see what I can do!

Any update on a PDF for Charge RPG?

Fari RPGsDeveloper2 years ago

Not as of right now! I'm currently going over some updates to Charge, the SRD and an upcoming minimalist version called Dash. Once this is done, I'll look into making a proper PDF for Charge! 😊

I've read the other comments, and I just have to say it's pretty frustrating hitting a "download" button and not having an option to "download". I found the SRD but I'm still disappointed there's no PDF of the full rules. I'm not clicking through 250 pages like a Buzzfeed article to read all the rules, if you want more than $1-2 you're going to have to provide a PDF at some point, please! (also, even if you release a PDF and then update it later, you can always provide the new PDF- they do it on drivethrurpg.com all the time)

Hello,

I wanted to address a few points:

I truly did not appreciate the tone of your comment.
Charge is 100% free and open licensed, and I do accept donations. But I don’t require or want to increase the price of the game
I had planned to create a PDF of Charge, but ended up working on many other things. Most especially, this.

I apologize if you are not satisfied with the current format of my game, and hope one day I'll have the time and monetary investment to allocate more time to working on this.

Cheers,

Apologies for my tone, was just trying to learn the rules of the game and spent the better part of 20 minutes in a link loop until I figured it out that it was in a large folder and let my frustration come out in text. I'll look forward to the PDF in time.

All good here. And yeah, sorry if things weren't clear from the get go. If you want, Dash is available in PDF form, which is pretty useful if you're looking for a condensed version of Charge: https://fari-rpgs.itch.io/dash.

Hallo. When I click on the Download page, I see 4 buttons. The first button is "Charge RPG (Online on fari.community)": when I click it, no file is downloaded, it's a link that bring me to the https://fari.community/creators/fari-rpgs/projects/charge page. From here, I see buttons that bring me back to the Itch.io page... :-(
It's a never-ending dog chasing its tail. Is there a good document I can read offline?

EDIT: also, the second button "Character Sheets" is broken.

Fari RPGsDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Hey Andrea,

So right now there is no PDF for Charge, but I'd love to take the time to work on that in the future. As of right now, the only place to read Charge is on the Fari Community. That being said, the Charge SRD is available as a PDF here and so is Dash, the condensed version of Charge which you can find here as a PDF.

Also, thanks for the ping about the character sheets link, I've fixed it to use the new url which is: https://fari.community/creators/fari-rpgs/projects/charge/character-sheets
