Slayers

really love the system and the art of the printed book but I'm a bit confused about the interaction between scorn and shrewd on the blade, but that that might be because I have yet to reach any of the expert advances, is there something I'm missing?

Hey can the old version of this game be unrestricted?  I got it as part of the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality in 2020, but it seems it's now inaccessible.

Love this game, somehow didn’t realize version 1.5 existed for 2 years. On page 12, the three Distances are in a low-contrast white with the page background’s off-white. Could you change this? At the moment it’s hard to read.

Hey! I've just realized that I've got an old version of the game but don't have access to the newer version, is this a mistake or am I meant to buy the game again for the updated content?

Hi, big fan of your work, I got a group playing LIGHT right now and having a blast, and a few months back we ran a couple games of Slayers and all agreed to come back to it at some point.

One thing I wanted clarification on, if I could-- I noticed that the Tactician was making encounters trivial with their Execute Plan special action. I know you typically eschew the concept of balance, but I wanted to make sure we're interpreting the class correctly. Can they use Execute Plan as often as they like in a round? For example, if the Blade keeps on whiffing, can they keep on replacing the Blade's dice for their combo? Are there any restrictions on usage whatsoever? I noticed that the description specifically says it's not an action, which is what led to the assumption that they can use it on as many targets as many times as they like.

The group I play with is already quite large (six people) so to make a fun fight I already have to have quite a few enemies, but if a Tactician is using their increasingly enormous pool to make every teammate attack hit and every enemy attack miss, I feel like I'd have to balloon enemy ranks to the point of absurdity.

Just wanna make sure we're on the same page.

Hello, any possibility on getting a community copy?

There will be new community copies?

Will there be community copies available again? I really wanna play this but I'm in a rough spot and my currency doesn't translate well to USD :(

I like the premise and the artstyle already. I'll likely pick this up either way down the line, but are there any community copies coming soon?

This game is rad! It reads so easily and is so well layed out.  The design is just excellent!

Hi. I just wanted to ask whether the 'old' Slayers will be updated to 1.5 at some point or if I would have to buy a new copy to receive the update.

Any chance for more community copies?

this looks sick, the timing was a bit inconvenient for my slayers game but i'm hyped nonetheless

If you're checking out Slayers and want to see what's new with the latest update, this video should help!

I think that the church of the cycle is a really neat concept and I want to integrate it into my slayers games

Where can I find some rulings on mechanics? There are a few questions my table has due to people having different interpretations of things. 

Excited to try and work on some homebrew content

lots of fun

Slayers is an impressive exercise in design elegance with simplicity being expertly wrought into a fun, flowing and easy to pick up system that fits the tone and aesthetic of the game wonderfully! I absolutely love everything here! It's just so easy to pick up, play and create for, with a brilliant setting filled with flavour and endless potential. 

If you want to be a cool, competent character that investigates and slays cool monsters in a wide variety of awesome settings, this honestly might just be the best game to play. It is an absolute Dragon game slayer!

My full review  for this incredible game and hype for The Slayers Almanac Kickstarter: https://ko-fi.com/post/Slayers-Slayers-Almanac-Kickstarter-from-Spencer-J3J76PZK...

Thanks for the Creator Kit.

I'm still going to publish games using your mechanics.

Slayers has some of the single most inspiring TTRPG design I've ever seen. Combat is asymmetrical in that each class behaves and plays in completely unique ways. They aren't "balanced" in a traditional sense, but they play well together and that's way more important. It has a decent amount of crunch, while still being rules-lite enough that really the entire fucking world is open and that's honestly sick as hell.

This game is a D&D Killer in every sense of the word, it's some of the strongest design you'll ever come across in the indie space.

Outside of this, Slayers has one of the strongest SRD's, and Open Licenses you'll find, which means everyone can make (and is encouraged to make) Slayers content. So there is a huge group of 3rd party Slayers content. Unlike another D&D you don't owe Spencer your money for using the Open License, which means there is a bustling group of third party content you can find here.

I know what you're here thinking though:

"You know, this game looks good, but I wish it was set in the wild west instead"

And like hold onto your fucking boots partner because I'm about to rock your goddamn world 

Dust is an official supplement for Slayers that drops a desert into the middle of the setting, adds a new class (The Deadeye, a Rifle wielding motherfucker), a ton of new high quality content/maps/art, and 4 new Wild West Adventures, including of course a train robbery 

Side note I love a train robbery 

Anyway, Slayers is well worth the money, and if you've made it this far into this post without going up to get it what's wrong with you it's so good go get it.
