Carry Errata

[Nathan P.]

Many thanks to everyone who's picked up a copy of carry. a game about war in the last several months. I'm almost out of stock, and it's time to do a new print run!

There is one piece of rules errata that is being included in the second printing, along with typo corrections and layout tweaks:

Yikes! So there's no escape from harm if someone brings their Burden into things, huh?

Best, Ron

Fallout from conflicts is the easiest way to increase your Burden Die (which makes you more effective at conflicts in general). It reinforces the fact that adding your Burden into an Action scene is a  "hurt me please (and make me stronger)" thing, and speeds up the death of Fodder characters (which I've observed to be slower than I like across many sessions of the game that I've run).

So, yes, there is no escape, but it's still up to you whether you want the hurt or not.

I'm glad I read this errata before my first actual play. I think this will result in a tighter game, where the endgame is reached much faster.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how my gaming group just drooled all over carry. They really want to give it a try, and we could be playing it in just a few weeks (finishing a game of DitV next week, then maybe one or two sessions of Contenders).

TTFN,

Yoki

Thats great. Let me know how it goes once you guys get to it!
