The rules say ... "... obtaining a natural 10 on his die roll (the “0” side of the die) will assure a close success in any attempted action with a Difficulty Threshold of 17 or less." ... does this include attack actions when the defense rating is 17 or less? How about mental resistance rolls of 17 ...

After reading more disorders I suspect its actually suppose to be both ... but I'm interested in others thoughts too.

Edit: Side question, do characters only get these bonuses (and negatives) when in crisis?

As a character goes from Balance->Symptom->Syndrome->Madness certain things occur. For example when in "Symptom" for Melancholy a character "feels tired, and lacks motivation". Next, at Syndrome, the character gets +2 to Mental Resistance rolls derived from being in danger. The character also receiv...

It cost the same as a horse, and its not the shinny gold leaf stuff, but average quality. A militia member makes about 2 frost a month ... So if he doesn't eat and pay rent he could afford plate armor in a month and a half. All seems fine to me. But of course feel free to modify as you feel appropri...

Went ahead and ordered the next two books in French so I can use the visuals, maps, stats, in my current campaign ...

Plus, I'd like to have the French versions just for the hell of it.

A big thanks for the guys behind SoE for letting people nab PDFs of Book 0, right away. I love it.

But I'm still curious, If we start translations of the other books, is it alright to share the resulting PDFs before the official English PDFs become available or would that be frowned upon?

Thanks

To be honest, "Loch Varn" is an excellent scenario but one that can be highly confusing, and I don't know whether it really is a beginning scenario in many ways. (And I agree, no spoiler warnings here.) I prefer to create a simple scenario for the game that allows the players to gradually get their...

Hey John, I first heard of Shadows of Esteren at Gen Con, so I missed out on the first Kickstarter and so don't have access to the Prologue 0 PDF. I'm hoping to get it as soon as possible, but my gaming group is in the rare position to try out a new system now. I like the psychological organization ...

Hi everyone, I've been using Google translate to make a rough English version of Loch Varn (scenario 1, in the Prologue) from the French PDF. I love the concept behind the scenario and look forward to running it for my group (I will without a doubt be a big Kickstarter supporter). I've gotten a fair...
