Now available for download and comment is the first draft of the fundamental element of the Alpha game rules, namely the basics of tests, along with drafts for the character attributes and skills sections of the game.
The Basic Rules reveals the “core mechanics” of Alpha, alluded to in earlier posts but more fully realised. Grab the file from here: Alpha Basic Rules
The Attributes section covers the “core traits” of Alpha characters. Few surprises here, but at this stage an important section to get drafted and out there. Grab it from here: Alpha Character Attributes
The Skills section is probably the part most expected to change. In short, the skills are lifted from a favourite RPG to give us a starting point for getting games started. This will change and morph, to better reflect the flavour of Alpha as we play. Not least, there is an expectation that we will add and subtract skills, and rename them. Your suggestions are going to be key long-term. Grab the file from here: Alpha Skills
These are all Version 1 drafts, so they are open to change and development. Comments from players and interested gamers are welcome.
