A game about monster babysitters. · By
Some items I'm looking to workshop:
1. The Action Roll. This game is meant to be more forgiving than Blades, so characters will have at least one dice to roll, with extra dice if they have stats, moves or gear that helps them out. They're also not meant to be as specialist as characters in Blades, which is why I'm trying out 5 rows of stats, rather than 12 or 16.
2. The Weakness. I want to give the characters consequences tied to the Child. I don't know if the Weakness is a good balance of punishment or if all I need are Character Reactions.
3. The Trust Track. This is mean to demonstrate how well they're able to work with the Child. I want to see if the track is too long, too short, or if it works as a good representation of the relationship at all.
4. The Child's Emotions: do they help the GM portray the Child in a meaningful way? Do the provide appropriate obstacles and goals for the Player Characters?
5. Child Stats. I'm hoping they provide a way to track the crew's "level" so to speak. I'm not sure if the fact that their "crew" playbook will work in the same way if it's taking the shape of a person.
Dear game dev. I'd like to gift this very promising game to my daughter, who loves to play table top games with her friends. Instead of me paying and downloading files I should send her the money and e-mail link to download yes? Maybe there is a gift option I have not spotted? Kind regards, grand-mum in Sweden
Hello! This is so sweet! Right now Protect the Child is pay-what-you-want, which for some reason takes away the buying as a gift option. If you would like to buy it as a gift for her, might I suggest supporting the charity bundle that this game is a part of? There is a link to this bundle near the top of the game page that is going on for 18 more days. It is only $5 and it has a gift option!
Otherwise, I think that sending your daughter some money and the link for this game is the best option for now.
