Brief Delay on Little Fears 3 Playtest Document
I was really hoping to get the playtest doc in shape for tomorrow but I’m going to have to push it. I’m just not happy with the system adaptation of Full Deck Roleplaying yet. The core is solid but I’m reworking Belief and monster stats since it’s just not hitting where I want. My aim is to get good, useful feedback from you all regarding the system and I don’t want to release something that I know is flawed.
I hope to not have to make you wait much longer. I’m gonna spend more time on it this week. I will update you as soon as I’m confident on a new date.
I apologize for the very late push on this but it’s for the best, I promise.
A New Door is Opening

If you want to get familiar with Full Deck Roleplaying prior to the event, check out the Full Deck Roleplaying Playtest Document. Rules during play will vary slightly from the playtest document but the core will remain the same.
>>introducing full deck roleplaying
A few months ago, I was inspired to create a roleplaying game system that used standard decks of playing cards to create dynamic, engaging stories through play. RPGs with card mechanics aren’t new but I wanted to make the cards you play more than your usual randomizer. I wanted them to introduce elements into the story, for the system to be as active in the storytelling as the players.
The result is Full Deck Roleplaying. I am currently working on the complete ruleset for release later this year but I wanted to get the core mechanics out to as many people as possible to read, play, and give feedback on how the system worked for their group. This isn’t intended as simply a design experiment but a full, functioning game system that can accommodate a wide array of genres, characters, and settings.
Full Deck Roleplaying will be released as a standalone system that players can use in whatever worlds they desire, but I am also working on official settings that use the system at its core with tweaks and adjustments particular to the setting’s needs. Through these settings, players will see the dials turned in different ways that show off the customization options and scalability of the Full Deck Roleplaying system.
Currently in development are:
Seven Thunders
In a world after the Rapture, a war between Angels and Demons ravages the globe. Human bands, the remainders who didn’t make it to Heaven, try to survive and thrive as they attempt to find a way to end the constant fighting.
No Mere Mortals
Superheroes strive to protect humanity against a dark, extradimensional menace that threatens reality itself. Inspired by such comics as Umbrella Academy, Doom Patrol, and Justice League Dark.
Wyrd is Bond
A new version of my magic-hits-the-streets setting from 2004, this new edition of Wyrd is Bond is set in an alternate modern day where practitioners of magic are in the mainstream, releasing hit singles, streaming gang wars, and recruiting neophytes while serving clandestine agendas and hidden masters.
