Comments on: Newsies and Pickpockets http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/newsies-and-pickpockets An independent rpg game publishing site devoted to free rpg games Sat, 11 Feb 2012 12:29:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Hans http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/newsies-and-pickpockets/comment-page-1#comment-2388 Hans Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:12:17 +0000 http://www.1km1kt.net/?p=890#comment-2388 This game should really be shopped around to a few of the publishing houses, such as Cubicle 7 or Evil Hat, and given the full treatment, because I think it would sell. The premise is just plain brilliant, the minute I read the first few pages I wanted to play. The mechanics could use some redevelopment (for example, the attributes and skills could all stand a rework to make them more thematic, I think, and probably you don't need quite so many), but the basic game here, the setting material, and the general tone of the authorship, are all just right. I'm tempted to say swapping the core mechanics out for something like FATE or Savage Worlds or ORE would be a good idea, but I don't want to be presumptious; that would be more of a marketing decision than an artistic one. Very, very solid game; one of the best I have seen on 1KM1KT This game should really be shopped around to a few of the publishing houses, such as Cubicle 7 or Evil Hat, and given the full treatment, because I think it would sell.

Very, very solid game; one of the best I have seen on 1KM1KT

It's a pretty large file, so it might take a few moments to download. Hi John – I checked the link, and it’s working for me. It’s a pretty large file, so it might take a few moments to download.
