The licence doesn’t appear on the page.

Itch lets you select a licence, which will help people search. Under the game, Edit --> Metadata, and select which creative commons licence (there are many).

I don’t know if Google docs count as a ‘source file’. It’s clearly the source. Is it a file? I guess everything’s a file if you go by the UNIX definition, so ‘close enough’?

Licensing riddles aside, it looks great, and it’s nice seeing a fast-paced intro that gets straight into what the game’s about.

“Open source” [files] means the source of the pdf. If the source files aren’t available with the download, it’s not open source.

I hope it doesn’t come across as a small point, as it’s a pretty big deal to me. I’ve spent years looking about for others doing open source RPGs, but most people using the word ‘open source’ mean something like ‘copying this pdf is okay’, which makes it very difficult to find open source RPGs under all the false signals.

Are the source files included in the drivethrurpg link, or somewhere else?

I couldn’t make the downloads work in my phone

Thanks for letting me know!

It appears that (some parts of?) this is available in English and in German,

We only have the tiny core rules translated right now, and the character sheet.

Would this be suited to playing with kids, too?

The system is just 2D6 + Attribute + Skill [ + Equipment sometimes ]. Should be fine for kids who are okay with small sums.

The books have one or two spots of harsh language.

I’ve just playtested and released a oneshot module. If you have any questions about running it, let me know!

much obliged!
