Greetings!! I've just bought the game. I've started reading it, and skimming a little, I've found some erratas on page 18.
On the Right Text Box it has as title "UNTERS" instead of "HUNTERS" and on the same page, in the Match Formats section both Duos and Trios have the same description.
Also on page 19 it says "RIMS" as title instead of "CRIMS" on the left text box.

This looks amazing, I'm a big Escape From New York fan and this oozes that vibe, but when are you guys gonna XXX the bullet and bring your genre emulating goodness to the world of 80s Action films in a Roleplaying format. You're practically the best at what you do! Love your work.

Thank you so much, Nathaniel! As for your question, there are no current plans to emulate 1980s action films with our games. That said, I know several fans (and even one member of the Spectrum crew) who has used Retrostar to handle 1970s and '80s action TV shows... which would be very similar.

Hey Cynthia,

Any chance color cards might be available for purchasers to print ourselves instead of having to buy the pre-printed cards (which are almost $30 for both decks)? I'd gladly pay a few bucks extra for color cards for me to print instead of the black & white ones. Thanks.

I've always loved Escape from New York and Running Man and this game has captured that feeling perfectly. But noticed a few issues with the art. on some of the side bars (like Hunters and Crims on pages 18 and 19) and art spreads like the Zone on pages 22-23, some letters are missing. Its no big deal but I do find it a little distracting. Happens in both Adobe and Sumatra pdf readers.

Is there a way that you could easily flip this around to play the hunted rather than the hunter? I have just bought the product so haven't looked into it yet but am a massive fan of films like the running man etc

Just purchased today and it seems like there's a lot of art is missing when using GoodReader on an iPad Pro. I tried both the regular manual and the "spreads" version and had the same results. I don't think I've run into this problem in GoodReader before, including your previous titles.

The art is also messed up for me when I use the default Preview.app on Mac OS X. For example, the cover page has no art at all and the text is in black & white.

Screenshot example: https://imgur.com/XaJABbO

Or another random page: https://imgur.com/jsczU0I

Basically, the art on every single page seems to be broken for on Mac OS X.

Wow! I have no idea why this would be the case. I will look into what could be the cause and get it corrected. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Is there a way to edit my order? I just purchased the B&W printed book...but see the watermarked PDF+B&W is the same price! Didn't see that option during purchase (I know, my fault), but is there a way to get the PDF in any way without having to pay again?

How do Trio work? The rules on page 18 are a repeat of the rule for Duos. I am assuming it is teams of three Hunters.

That is correct. The rules are the same, just with more hunters per team.

What size table are most games? And, how many scenarios/campaigns are included? Is it easy to make a scenario? Thanks!

It's generally played on 3'x3' or 4'x4' tables, but you can certainly go with larger areas if you wish.

As the game brings to life a sport that supposedly exists in the future, there aren't any scenarios, per se. However, Event Cards create the kind of in-game diversity that scenarios normally do in other games.

We are about to start playtesting the campaign/career system that will be made available in the first major supplement. It allows you to essentially create a beginning hunter during said hunter's "tryout" match and progress their abilities and gear over the course of the campaign. Players will be able to decide what their hunters want to do between matches (trying to woo sponsors, doing extra training, engaging in charity work, making public appearances, etc.).

Oh this sounds great - would I be able to create scenes from the movies, say 'Logan's Run'? I'd like to play as a Sandman. And it does sound like it could be played solo? Is it solo, as I know a whole Facebook group who might be interested. And yes, 'Go the 70's movies!'

The game brings to life a future sport, so recreating scenes from Logan's Run might be a bit difficult. That said, you could very easily replicate characters from Logan's Run as hunters with our hunter creation rules. I'm a huge fan of Logan's Run (the TV series and the film) though.

As for solo play, we are currently developing rules that would allow for that. The game's dynamic lends itself to that style of play anyway. It wouldn't take much for players to use it solo straight away.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
