Project Update: Let’s choose the final tables! (Part 1)

Missed the campaign? No worries! The pre-order store is now open. You can grab Triple-O and all the add-ons that were available during the campaign right here.

Morning, folks!

As promised, I’m back with news about how many tables we can actually fit into the zine. And the news is good.

Beyond the Downtime / Campfire table we already added, I managed to find room for one more specific table, which means we get to choose one last table of that kind!

And there’s more!

With a bit of layout magic using the inside covers, we can also include one more general table—those single-word prompt tables. They’re smaller and take less space, so they fit nicely there. All general tables will now live on the inside covers for easy reference during play.

So in reality, we’re not choosing one new table today, we’re choosing two.

That said, this is where we reach the physical limits of what makes sense for a zine in saddle-stitch format. But honestly, I’m very happy with the range of situations the book will cover. I think it will feel complete and useful when you’re emulating your characters.

So without further ado, here’s what you’re voting on.

1. Final Specific Table

As a reminder, the following tables are already confirmed:

Combat, Social Interaction, Exploration, Delving, Interpretation, and Downtime.

These cover many of the most common scenarios characters find themselves in.

Now we get to choose the final one. I’m bringing back the options from the previous poll, plus one new idea.

Planning
Use this when the party is safe (at a tavern, camp, hideout, etc.) and trying to decide their next big move. This pairs especially well with the Group Action procedure.

Urban Play
You’ve just walked into a city. What do the characters want to do? Seek contacts, visit a temple, hit a tavern, gather rumors, explore the undercity, and so on.

Questions Asked
The kinds of clarifying questions players normally ask a GM. For example: Can I see an exit? Is anyone else here? Does it look safe? Are they armed?

Party Focus
When the group enters a new situation, what draws their attention first? Escape routes? Environmental hazards? The mood of the place? Someone specific?

2. One More General Table

As a reminder, the general tables we already have are:

Action, Focus, Method, Disposition, Motivation, and the Approach table that appears on the bookmark.

Here are the candidates for one more:

Dynamics / Relationship
Single-word prompts describing how one character feels toward another. For example: supportive, indifferent, competitive, protective.

Mental State
What’s crossing a character’s mind right now. Words like doubt, guilt, suspicion, impatience, and so on.

Impulse
This one bleeds into player profiles as well, but it reflects a character’s urges or priorities. For example: loot-seeking, peace-making, lore-digging, resource-saving.

So that’s it!

These are two separate polls, and you can vote on both. Unfortunately, the tool here doesn’t allow me to attach two polls to the same email, so I’ll have to send them in two separate updates (or you can proactively follow this link and vote on the second one too). I apologize in advance for the double email, and thank you for understanding the technical limitation here.

I’ll let the polls run for about a week while I continue working on layout, polishing the text, and placing the art throughout the book.

And of course, if you have another idea entirely, drop it in the comments. If others like it, I’ll treat the likes on your comment as votes for that idea.

Thank you again for your incredible support!

Talk soon,
Cezar
