The Brigade 0.2: Vorn in 60 Seconds


Hi everyone! After a bit of percolating, and a realization of some pretty crucial math errors, I've put together a rather significant update for the game. I figured that I should go over the major additions and changes, one by one.

Character Creation

I ran the math on the tables I'd put together for character creation, and realized that getting a Brigade Score of 20 (which would reduce any independent action to a miserable pile of failures) was far too likely. Numbers have now been decreased across the board to produce a more even distribution of results. Here's a nice graph show what it currently looks like. 

  

The tables used in character creation have now also been given proper names. 

Using Your Powers

The wording of Flare has been rewritten to be a bit more straight-forward as to how it works. 

The VORN

This section has probably seen the most re-writes of this update. The table for generating the VORN has now been split into two, one of which remains where the previous one was. The second one can be found in...

The Game Master's Guide

Yes! The later pages of the game, which originally dived deeper into its themes and the underlying message of the game, has now been compiled into a proper Game Master's Guide. The second part of the VORN table, the Revelations, and the Truth can be found here. In addition, I have started compiling what I would consider to be a good set of Principles for the Game Master to follow when running this game. It is very much still in development, so look forward to seeing it evolve as we go along.

A Footnote on the Times We Live In

A short addressal at the end of the game, about the reality of making a game about a virus that threatens all of civilization in the spring of 2020.
