What is/are the currencies of each location? Thanks.
Honestly, I never thought about it, but I would use just basic bronze coins for simplicity.
Cześć! Czy można spodziewać się w przyszłości kolejnych tłumaczeń splatbooków na język polski?
Możliwe, że się coś pojawi, ale niczego nie mogę obiecać.
Hi. Sorry to double-comment, but will there be any books for the Butterfly Barony or the Scorpion Sultanate? I know there's none for the Seas, but it's worth an ask.
Hi! I have no plans for these splatbooks right now, but I admit they both sound like great ideas :D
If you ever do do them, I can't wait to know a little more about them!
I was going through each of the splatbooks and listing off the styles and noticed that you have Falcon twice, but both times it has different moves. Once in Hornet Unity and once in Locust Khanate. Is this an error? And is Bear and Brown Bear different somehow? (Also, can't wait to see what the rest of the splatbooks offer!)
In some manuals, there are similar or the same style names, because the creators worked on them in parallel and did not know that someone else was creating something similar. We realize this, but we didn't want to force anyone to choose different names for their styles. Feel free to change them if this is a problem for you during the game.
And of course, I'm very happy that you like the game, we have a few more surprises in store!
Thank you for letting me know this. I had no idea that that was the case. And you're getting me hyped up now!
Also, I wonder if it mighy be possible to create a separate invasive body to the kingdoms, in history this would be personified by the "Huns", perhaps this could be by Meerkats (purely for comedy value) or by a commune of Wolves or Hyenas or the like, with applicable traits and their own arts.
Just spit-balling here. To me, the possibilities are endless...
This is another great idea!
Hi, I absolutely love this concept for what I see as a non points-based rpg. As far as I can make out, general combat issues can be based upon the characters yin/Yang balance as required. I would love to see some more development upon this, perhaps to include unarmed combat etc? Who knows....
Anyway, are there any plans to introduce additional arts/cults etc for the Ocean facing kingdoms such as Crab, Shrimp etc and also the (presumably "darker" influences) of the Spider Kingdoms? I can imagine a lot of water-based arts/talents could be invented to invent sea-faring races. Plus the Spider Kingdoms would insinuate a "nastier" form of art without more interest in poison and immobilisation.
Personally, I would suggest varieties of water dwellers for the former and arachnids/scorpions based arts and competencies for the latter.
Thanks for reading. 😁
OMG, I am so sorry for not answering you for so long, I somehow didn't see this comment until now! For now, we are not planning splatbooks for Crab and Shrips seas - but if you want to create them, feel free to do so. The license is open, the craft materials are here, so if you have an idea - go get it, I will gladly help you!
Are there any plans for Polish version as well? I'm fluent at English however having a Polish version would make it easier for my other players as well.
Hi! Sorry, but currently we are unable to create Polish version of the game. Not, that we wouldn't like to do so, but YYP is ~30 handbooks and dozens of other materials and producing it all in two languages is simply too much work for us. Maybe someday we will release some manuals in other languages, but not soon.
Thank you for asking and have a great day!
This is a really well-made implementation of the L&F rules. Gives me an idea for a hack.
Ooh, that's really cool! Please tell me more about it!
What I really like is the styles. I've done L&F hacks with powers and abilities, too. But I like the way you do it better than the way I've done it. My idea is for an optimistic space fantasy. I love how really none of your powers are about hurting people, but they do contribute to the action.
Oh, optimistic space fantasy sounds really great :D
I'm on Twitter (@JRossDiscoSoup) if you ever wanna chat.
I don't have a Twitter account, so maybe it is a good time to finally get one :D
