Redcrow Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I just purchased a pdf copy of R&R from rpgnow.com and it has a few issues. I haven't finished reading through it yet, but some things are missing. First there doesn't appear to be a Table of Contents. There is a page at the beginning with the header CONTENTS at the top, but the rest of the page is completely blank. Next page 34 under POWERS seems to be missing a column on Cybernetics. The left column is there, but the right column is missing. The left column ends with "When inactive," and then nothing. The next page (35) starts a new section on Biological Modifications. As I said, I haven't finished reading through it yet, but those are two issues I've discovered so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pansophy Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 There were some initial problems with the PDF ... Looks like the RPGnow version wasn't updated. Ask Dustin of Chaosium about the issue, I bet they will make sure you get the newer version.

Narl Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Redcrow, are you on a Mac? I've had some success "fixing" Chaosium PDFs by opening them in Preview and then saving them under a different name. Quote 129/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draven Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I am new here and I just bought this book in pdf from drivethrurpg. Other than the mixing info noted above. As well as there is a heading for Avalon with nothing under it. I got to say I love the book. The clear thought and time that went into was was amazing. The only thing I think it is missing is rules for the farming skills. It says based on success of the skill you get an increase or decrease to base yield. I could not find though base yield rules in the book. The dog rules were amazing some of the best for having a pet I have ever seen. I have not tried the Vehicle rules but they seem pretty good. I am wondering if you will be writing anymore info for this setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleduc Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hello draven and Welcome to R&R. Regarding Farm and the lack of mechanics – it’s true; I didn’t put in any mechanics. The thought process went something like this; I had run Aftermath for decades and it is a game that has at least two farming skills and some mechanics for each, but I could not recall ever asking anyone to make a Basic Farming roll. It just never came up in play. BUT, farming skill is a quintessential near-future post-apocalyptic skill. The farm boy goes out into the big ugly world, or the small community is lacking the farming skill it needs, or the like – I had to include the skill. If your play style is such that you are actually making farming rolls, I think there is enough description to help the GM wing the mechanics. I could imagine running a game in the “Pendragon style” where each adventure is separated by a boring year of tending to the small homestead on the edge of a ruined city or the like, and this time is handled with a few die rolls. In such a case, it would be easy to improvise. Regarding the missing Avalon text; the bottom third of page 11 should be all about Avalon. If the text is missing, then you have a bad PDF. If it is there, and you just didn’t recognize that the section was meant to be an aside about a pair of related groups then that is just bad layout on my part. If I were better at page layout when I put the book together, that would have been a side bar or a text box, but it was my first stab at laying out a full book. I looked at it again this morning, and I would have done that differently. Regarding more R&R stuff. I have about a quarter of a full length adventure put together – it is called Rubble Lane and is a tribute to a certain classic Runequest adventure. The play-testers seemed to enjoy it – but unfortunately that project has been stalled by Real Life ™. On the other hand, I have 90% of a short R&R adventure completed that I am hoping to finish for the Science Fiction adventure contest (which ends this week – so I need to get on it). Glad to hear you like R&R – let me know if you run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draven Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have plans to run it next weekend. I did find some information I could use for the farming. It was easier to get average yield rates than I thought it would be. Not sure I will use them for a while but it is nice to have them. I must have gotten a bad pdf the the text is missing from Avalon. My copy is also missing the table of contents to me this no problem as the index is very useful. Is it possible to get an updated pdf or are they still working on that? I live in the Southern United States so I really like the weed unleashed in the game. We have a major kudzu problem here and there is not a much better way to make land hard to pass and unusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleduc Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yeah -- Weed entered into R&R when I lived in Alabama. People who have not experienced kudzu often have trouble "getting it" but if you have been there, you know exactly what a weed patch would be like. I will PM you about the PDF.

draven Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Yea I live in Alabama I have about 20 arces of land and in just a few years. Maybe 15 years kudzu took over nearly 8 acres and it is hard work to keep it comtained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleduc Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Exactly -- now think of an even more invasive form of kudzu. As an ecoweapon it would be perfect -- you could reduce an enemy city to a stand still fighting to keep roads open and homes clear. Of course, no one is starving because they could eat the weed, but they cannot do much else with their city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draven Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 That is true you can eat the roots and the leaves. I understand how good an idea that is it would be awful and by 20 years after they would be every where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narl Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Eventually someone in the rubble will get smart and start herding goats. I hear they love kudzu. Quote 129/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleduc Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Sure -- but that is the point. Eventually you can dig out a small area with enough work. It would take years to get a large enough goat heard, and even then it will take a lot of work to keep the goats "on task" (and out of your other gardens etc.) It is not un-doable, it just takes so much time and effort away from fighting back.

jagerfury Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I downloaded the Rubble and Ruin character sheets and I wanted to make them form fillable. Problem, the software says it is restricted so unable to edit without a password. Could I get a copy which I would be able to edit? Once completed I would gladly post here on the site as a free download. Quote The Vanishing Tower RPG Blog Read about my attempts at FTF RPG in the wilderness!
