Hello!

It seems really promising, but there are no actual clues about what this system is about, except reading the actual plays. Are there any comprehensive reviews or overviews? How about character creation/setting creation/action resolution examples??

Thank you

Additionally,

If I buy the PDF now, would I receive a discount for buynd the physical object later?
(I wouldn't go all the way, considering the shipping costs, but I may be willing to give it a try)

Ernest,

I would direct you to both our website www.venturelandgames.com and to our Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617292343/ngs-the-narrative-game-system) as there is a great deal of information available in these sources.

That being said, our system is rules ultra-light and very story driven. When you deploy your Narrative Abilities, often there won't be a need to roll or decide anything, the nature of the player's creativity means the challenge of that moment is resolved, but there is a new challenge beyond that (and beyond that, etc.). When you need to decide something (because of opposition or the difficulty of the attempt), you roll one dice with a single bonus against a difficulty set by the GM. Its very simply mechanical resolution that is quick, easy and out of the way.

We have Actual Play Samples on our website and in the Kickstarter, feel free to check them out. We are very proud of the game and we think if you want a rule-light, collaborative,...See more

It looks interesting, but what is the mechanic for resolving conflict and challenges? Could you give a summary before plopping down my $10.00?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
