played a solo session yesterday and I loved it! I’m looking forward to the in-built solo rules.

I have a two questions:

  • How do warbands fare against non-warband combatants?
  • Are there any plans to release a version where the text is less tightly jammed together? 

Thank you for playing! Don’t forget to leave a review, it only takes about 20+ reviews to be in the top 50 top rated OSR games on itch

  • I’d go with the easy answer that single combatants are ineffective against warbands unless they are using an attach that would effect a majority of its members or the single combatant is a warband-level threat (a dragon, ogre, or giant for example), and auto-hit non-warband enemies. Realistically, if its just one warband v. the party, just run it as the party fighting bad guys, the warband rules really were only there to simulate warband v. warband combat.
  • Yes! Aketon Advanced will be coming out early next year, the text was done, but now will include a few hundred more monster stat-blocks, hex, and solo rules. Here’s a page from the classes section:

whoa! That rocks! I’m really excited for this!

Of course I remember! If you put anything together let me know and I’ll signal boost it.

I’d love to work with you and make a complete version of that dungeon adventure btw. My old hard drive melted, so I lost all the stuff on there, but we can start over, there wasn’t a lot anyway. Contact me on my Discord, the link is at the bottom of all of the dev logs

Per the modern/futuristic weapon rules included in "Adventurer Option" (and in Esoterikon), consider: automatic weapons (submachineguns as handguns, assault rifles as high-cal rifles, etc.) can spray fire, causing one hit to everyone in the line of fire. Save Blast to avoid damage (e.g. by dropping prone), cover/concealment bonuses apply. They must then automatically reload. Chainguns and the like can do so twice before reloading. 

I think that’s a great idea, I don’t know if I have space for it in the tight formatting of Aketon, maybe in the Explorers Options I’ll be releasing for Esoterikon soon.

Feel free to write it up as a one-pager and post it yourself! I’d be happy to shout it out!

Thank you kindly! Maybe I’ll try that if I ever figure how to format things so nicely.
