Hi there! In the last update (1.2) I finally added some printer-friendly play materials! I hope these are useful to you :)

Hmm… I hadn’t thought about that. I’ll think about it for 1.2 or even some independent A-B testing 😉

That’s awesome! It makes me happy that you seem to be really liking it. I’ll appreciate any comments! ☺ 🖤

Thanks so much for commenting! I’m glad you liked the Heroic Sacrifice and I hope you get to play the whole game soon! 😁 🖤

Aw!🥺🖤 Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy you liked the game, because it seems you’re the perfect player for it! 😁

As to create custom playbooks, please do! And link them here if you feel like it 😉 I’d love to write many more playbooks (and even supplements) for AtO, but that’s in future. And even then: I love to see what other people come up with!

Thanks again and I hope you and your players have a great time playing when you do!

Thank you so much for your kind words!

That’s my plan. Sadly I don’t know how to do layout but, if there’s enough interest, I’m willing to pay someone to create some beautiful (and useful, of course) play materials 😉

Yeah, I discontinued the Spanish version.

Oh, you’re right! My web browser deceived me. I’ll change it right away. Thanks for commenting about it! ☺

“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain…”

Against the Odds is a heroic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game in which the player characters (PCs) are heroes trying to stop the dangerous and wicked pursuits of villains of all kinds. These heroes travel to fantastic locations; overcome great physical, mental, and emotional challenges; and fight against many and mighty foes, all while struggling to avoid becoming villains themselves.

This quickstart includes everything you need to run a complete campaign (or two!), such as:

• 12 playbooks (referred in the game as Callings), which include a wide variety of archetypes from fantasy fiction
• A corruption trigger and corruption moves tailored to each Calling
• A heroic sacrifice mechanic that allows you to author your character’s end in epic fashion
• All the core and extra moves necessary to play, including epic moves that you can unlock once you become an experienced heroic character!
• Guidance on easily setting up an adventure with all the players' cooperation and participation
• Rules on how to create and run NPCs
• And so much more!

You can find the game (and an assortment of tools to play and run it) here: https://helenareal.itch.io/ato

Thanks for answering! :) <3

Sorry to bother you both but, did you ever release that Google Sheets character sheet? I'd love to have access to that if it exists 🥺

Great game! I'd love to run it for some friends. Thanks a lot! 😁 🖤

Thanks for being so generous! :D <3

Thanks for replying and Happy New Year!

If you could send me a "plain text" version (a doc with headings, for example), I could translate it more easily, send it back to you, and then you can do the layout.

I don't know if we can send PMs here, but my email is farealh (a) gmail if you want to get in touch there ;)

This is AMAZING! Would you be interested in doing a Spanish version of it? I'd be glad to help you with the translation for free ;)
