Big ups for even bothering to share this stuff, PhoneLobster. I mean, my brain doesn't want to tackle it for whatever reason related to reading it in post form (which is why I'd like some way to peruse it in its entirety at my leisure - bound zip/7z/whatever file of various docs would work too), but there aren't many complicated games coming out of here.

The Tome, After Sundown... I think that's it, right? I mean, there are a ton of Koumei ideas here, but not too many are meant to be as deep as what's being attempted here, yes?

So, props. Keep up the toil.

Quick Sloppy Document Dump
OK so you can go and grab 4 of my documents ->here<- if you want in Open Office Format.

They are as follows -
The Core document, which is actually just the latest revision of SOME of the core material presented here in the past, cut down to brief copy pastable material for between game use and short hand out printing (indeed you will note several pages of material in there repeated several times, the idea being one print run of the document would give me some spares of some hand outs).

The material revised and presented in that version of the core is primarily stuff players need to know for building characters and playing the game. So its summaries of how basic game actions work and the Good/Bad Traits to select from mostly. And some copy pastable Unamed NPC Good/Bad traits for the GM to cut and paste from when building NPCs.

The Skills Document The latest revised and cut back skill sets document I was nearly finished putting onto here.

A note on the format for this. In the body of skill text I commonly use bolding and color for emphasis. Typically a black bolded text is a reference to another skill or a basic game action. Red bolded text is a reference to keywords for bonuses and match ups.

The Peoples Document Basically the latest revised and cut back "mutant powas" skills. The ones that you use to emulate races and monsters and stuff.

Note that the peoples document presents entries with "NA" as the cost, these are the basic free traits you just get for being a certain sort of creature/mutant with a trait like "big teeth" or something, these regularly do nothing, or are supposed to be of no or neutral value, the idea being they basically mostly just make actual costed real skills available to you (so you have Shedding Skin for free as a "people trait" with NA cost, and it does nothing, but it lets you buy Empty Husk and other cool real skills).

Otherwise the layout for the peoples document should be about the same as the skills one, minus the skill sets.

The Items Document These items are ones associated primarily with various skill sets. They are the basic and primary items the game needs to function, and a bit more besides. Layout puts the cost in coins first, the item title, then the item keywords/bonuses then text.

There are a number of assumptions/background rules you may need to know about items, but which are not in the document, like how Ammo works, some clarifications about batteries, details on the Complexity stacking/notation etc... But this is the document as is, I haven't taken the time to add the foot notes there, so you can ask or I might get around to it as I put it up in BB Code post format on here.

Documents that I didn't post I'm holding back on the LT Buildings document. Its a bit hacky, but most of all it hasn't been caught up to the most recent revision with the shortened and rewritten skill sets yet, so it still refers to a very slightly different list of skill sets (The Circus still exists, Magician, Heavy Armour, and Heavy Weapons don't etc...).

I'm holding back on the Cultures document. It's also not caught up on the revision, still needs those damn cults to be completed, and is a gigantic bloated mess, full of cool stuff sure, but also a giant mess of terrible. Hopefully once I hit it with the latest cut down style revision it will be more readable.

There are the old "long form" pre-revision skill sets and items documents, the original (more complete) core etc... but those have largely fallen out of date and I'd rather not put them up.

There are the big giant tables for randomising peoples and cultures... but those are just plain bad. I really don't want to put them up. And they need some catching up to current materials anyway.

The Crappy Tacked On Skills
For whatever reason these are the afterthoughts or hacky questionable skill sets that for whatever reason felt needed.

Leadership
For bossing around small mobs of nameless minions with better than average success.
Not sure I'm comfortable with the interaction/differences between this and just hiring minions by means of building LT minion hiring structures, which is the standard way normal people do it.

0 Roving Band Leader May maintain, equip and train with 3 zero point skills up to 10 Elite troopers without any facilities. May incur coin costs. May require recruiting opportunities. May take skill multiple times.
1 Extra Elite Band Improves Roving Bands with additional skills, granting them +1 point of skills and another 0 point skill with it. You may take this ability more than once, but probably shouldn't. [Requires Roving Band Leader]
1 Squad Leader You can attach yourself to allied Troopers (Guards and similar characters) in your zone (no action cost, just declare it). This enables you to allow them to expend YOUR Energy as if it were their own. Note that Trooper actions are still somewhat limited.
1 Cooperative Command Allied troopers within short range of you may combine attacks as if they shared the same zone as each other. You may extend your Squad Leader and other Leadership effects to loosely attached squads over the same range.
2 Trooper Block 1E to then also expend any number of allied troopers under your command at 1 trooper for 1 block to block normal attacks with a LoF passing through their zone.

Rider
For riding horses, chariots and magical elfen jet bikes.
All in all Rider is probably an OK skill set. Sort of. It falls down however in the poor range or poorly presented vehicle options and the near total lack of pre-written steeds.

0 Drive By Skill Suffer no attack penalty for attacking DURING vehicle based movement for the turn (normally you suffer -2 attack if you do not wait until the end of your vehicle based movement).
0 Rider Skill When riding on a steed or a vehicle you gain a +2 vs All attack bonus to your normal attacks against any targets not riding the same steed or vehicle.
0 Rider Speed When riding on a steed or a vehicle (or otherwise using Vehicle type movement) you may treat it as having +1 Max Speed. You may also expend 1 Energy to gain +1 Accelerate or +1 Brake for a turn and may do so multiple times.
0 Free Steering When piloting a steed or a vehicle (or otherwise using Vehicle type movement) you may make a free Steer action each turn at no action cost. You may NOT also make a normal steer action with your actual action.
0 Free Mount It costs you no action to mount or dismount a co-operative steed (or vehicle). Further if a co-operative steed (or vehicle) is waiting at the end of a fall you do not suffer any fall damage (or other effects like knock) if you choose to (for free) mount the steed on landing.
2 Rider Charge All Energy Min 1 to upgrade a Close-Range basic normal attack into a special attack Before Attack with Ram Charge Devastating +X where X is the number of zones you moved this turn (by means of Vehicle type Speed movement)
1 Crash Proof 1E to cancel all effects and damage of a Crash attack on yourself, OR your steed/vehicle, OR a passenger, you may spend multiple energy to do so on several such targets at once.
1 Trample 1E to upgrade a normal attack into a special attack with Multi-Attack(1 in X zones) where X is each zone you pass through this turn.

Beast Master
For bossing around pets.
Is hacky for two main reasons. 1) Basically no prewritten monsters/pets/steeds/etc... at this stage, I mean you can whip your own up from existing materials, but its a chore, and a few more people skills/traits targetted for those types of creatures specifically could be in order. 2) Its a mess of skills that MAYBE one character would want more than one of, but more commonly are sort of intended such that really a character would just take ONE of them and be done with the set.

1 Beast Rider +2 vs All and Wrestle bonus to your Social attacks against anything with the Steed trait that you are riding on (grabbing if need be). When riding on a co-operative/tamed mount you may perform a Perfect Block where you shift all the Injuries you are taking this turn to your mount, or all the injuries your mount is taking to yourself. You (or your mount) MAY then apply further blocks. You may maintain up to a single Elite or even Named creature mount that you somehow train or acquire without the need of permanent stabling facilities.
1 Pet Master +2 vs Alll to social attacks to tame individual beasts smaller than yourself. If your pet is in your Zone or in one of your pockets it can perform a Perfect Block to transfer all injuries effecting you to itself instead, and you can do the same in reverse. You may maintain up to an Elite or even Named level pet you somehow acquire or befriend without any proper pet housing buildings.
1 Pack Master +2 vs Alll to social attacks to tame grouped packs of beasts with Trooper. 1 Block per pack beast expended in LoFof an ANY normal attack. You can maintain up to 10 pack beasts (up to elite level) without need for any special facilities.
1 Hulk Master +2 vs Alll to social attacks to tame lone beasts larger than yourself. 1 Block per Injury that you transfer from yourself to your Hulk, the hulk must be in LoF of the blocked attack. You may maintain one Hulk type monster of up to Elite or even Named level without the need for buildings.
1 Swarm Master +2 vs Alll to social attacks to tame swarm beasts. 1 Block per swarm beast in LoF that you expend, . You can maintain a single up to Elite level Swarm without need for any buildings.
1 Beast Leader You can make your Energy available to allied beasts of any category matching your other beast master skills, allowing them to spend that energy as if it was their own (separate available pool for all energy costs).

Classy Skills
Are sort of intended as kinda “meta” or “additional role” skill sets. So you throw in Barbarian Rage or Wizardry (or both) on your character to make it stronger, different, and maybe fill a few gaps, create some new interesting combo effects and basically just add flavour etc...

Each set has something that ties into social, a social defence bonus or two, an attack bonus, a new attack tactic or several, an at least one flavourful completely bullshit ability that is of highly questionable but hilarious value (like Inconceivable!, Amazon Suicide Pact, Thieves Code, etc...). Oh and each set typically has some sort of Energy source mechanic, and indeed are the main sources of skills that provide an in combat Energy recharge ability of some form in the LT skill sets. Such energy rechargers are typically pretty harsh and conditional, but they are the biggest deal in town until MT so...

Warrior Classy Skills
Classy skill sets of a vaguely warrior like theme, but hey, whatever, stick them on a witch or an assassin if you want. Some of the combos will work out absolutely fine.

Amazon Pride / Manazon Pride
I definitely wanted Amazons, but after Barbarian Rage and Gladiatorial Prowess, there wasn't much left for them to be other than sexist enforcers... so that's what they are! Beat up your least favourite gender with new and crazy bonuses.
The Manazon Set Change all references from Amazon to Manazon, switch all genders and add “Man” as an adjective at the beginning of all nouns. Get your Man Spears and go into Man Battle with your Man Character this Man Day.
Amazons/Manazons and Gender OK so there is no limitation to WHICH of these skill sets you take regardless of your gender. You can be a female Manazon, or a Male Amazon, it's about the gender you want to beat up, not your own gender. BUT regardless of your gender I've set a limitation that you cannot be BOTH an Amazon AND a Manazon at the same time. Because then you'd get bonuses against basically everybody and I don't want that to happen... I think...
0 Amazonian Suicide Pact Convert Scary and Seductive social defeats from males into physical defeats (denies ally/conversion).
0 Amazonian Slave Pact Adds social defeats to physical defeats from males, preventing potentially being killed.
0 Amazonian Pride Naughty +1 Posh +1 on SDef
0 Amazonian Terror add Scary to Normal attacks vs Male AND Male characters at -1 to Normal and Social attacks against you.

Turn after defeating at least 1 male may make a social attack as action on all enemy observers of one gender,
Friendly or Seduce vs female, OR a Scary attack vs male. Attack ignores multi target penalty.
1 Amazonian Honour On turn after any hit (after parry, before block) by a male against you, add +1 Devastating to all normal and social attacks vs male.
1 Amazonian Revenge If hit (before parry) by Male attacker 1E to attack them immediately. If triggered by group attack counter damages as a co-operative attack made by up to 10 troopers or if made as a social attack ignores Multi-Target penalties vs males only.
1 Amazonian Invulnerability Once per turn 1 Block for 1E vs Male Block has Social
1 Amazon Agenda All normal attacks gain +2 vs Male, Gain 1E in resource phase when defeating last male in sight (allies count).

1E to make a free Scare attack as an off hand to a normal attack action
The free attack is Multi-Target(All bar self) but only applies to Cowardly targets (enemy AND friendly) in range, this attack ignores Alert on Cowardly targets and suffers no multi targeting penalty for cowardly targets.

1 Barbaric Rampage On hit with Close Range1E to add Chaining and Backfire Each hit then chains a new compulsory attack.

1 Barbaric Surge If at 0E (since start of turn) and defeat at least 1 character (after block) with normal or socia regain 1E in Resources
1 Strong Man +3 vs Furniture to all physical attacks. may add Devastating +1 on hit vs furniture increase this by +1 per 1E.
May lift up to big sized furniture in a single hand and either hit things with it or throw it (adds Throw, Long-Range, Double-Range-Penalties). And may add Pin on hit at no cost if the item is the same or larger than target size.
You also may do so as an off hand attack with an unused free hand for 1 Energy.
+3 vs Non-Strong +2 vs Weak to attack when using furniture as weapons.

Gladiatorial Prowess
For being a poncey combat show off.
0 Gladiatorial Honour Spare a targets life for an owed favour.
0 Gladiatorial Prowess Ignorant +1 Common +1 on SDef

+3 vs Non-Strong +2 vs Weak to attack when using furniture as weapons.

Knightly Code
For protecting stuff with the Guard action and pretending you follow an honourable code somehow involving gauntlet removal and face slapping.

Roguish Classy Skills
For rogues, acrobats, pick pockets, cat burgulars, and exotic dancers. OK I was running out of roguish ideas by that last one, and all these torn shirt blocks were giving me ideas.
Thievery
Steal stuff for fun and profit. Also be extra sneaky and stuff.
0 Honour Among Thieves may not kill or rob from other characters with this ability.
0 Thieves Code Educated +1 Common +1 on SDef
0 Perfect Hearing Sonar 2 to SDef while not deaf.
0 Sharp Ears When a Non-Silent stealth action succeeds against you 1E to force a reroll. If it fails detected character is Unready.
1 Sneaky Stealth actions gain Tricky and +3 vs Non-Tricky add Tricky 1 to SDef
0 Pick Pocket +3 to Steal actions.
0 Light Fingers ignore any penalty for Stealing an item directly from a targets hands slots.
ignore any penalty for stealing an item with a bigger size keyword than the target.
1 Unfasten reduce the time it takes to disarm, steal, or unequip an item with multi-turn equip time to 1 Turn (and thus -1 Steal penalty). Doing fully expends the item on successful removal.
0 Deft Hands +3 to Disarm actions and if they succeed also counts as a Steal action on the same target item (making the target unaware of your disarm success). [Requires Pick Pocket]
0 Finders Keepers When you steal an item equip it as part of the same action, dropping displaced items in order to do so. Including worn items.
2 Stolen Heart When you steal an item reveal your robbery to immediately make a social attack that ignores Alert. Target the victim of the robbery, or Multi-target(All in 1 bar self) For the purposes of multi turn thefts this effect triggers on the last turn of lifting the item. The attack gains Devastating +1 against the robbery victim. If the robbery victim loses an item of clothing/armour as the robbery item target the entire social attack gains +2 vs Non-Naughty and +2 vs Strict
2 Thieving Assassin When you steal an item from another target successfully 1E to immediately equip and attack with it. Treating robbery victim as Unready for attack.
2 Kleptomania When you steal an item and had 0 Energy since the start of the turn in the Resource phase regain +X Energy where X is the number of equip turns of the item, or 1 if it has been unfasten.

Assassination
Get good at surprise attacks. And be sneakier.
0 Lawless Assassin 1E to fully negate all LT highly questionable specials in your LoS all turn.
0 Refined Assassin Educated +1 Posh +1 on SDef
1 Assassin Eyes Vision 2 on SDef while not Blind. Ignore Shadows bonuses to stealth and social against you.
0 Silent Assassin Stealth actions gain Silent, +2 vs Non-Deaf and +2 vs Sonar
add Silent to non-loud normal attacks, Silent attacks do not alert targets other than the one being attacked.
1 Sneak Off 1E Ignore Alert on observers on Hide or Sneak
1 Deadly Assassin may change KO to Kill on Assassinate. Add +3 vs All to Assassinate attacks
1 Hatchet Man may add Critical 19-20 adds Sever. And/Or add Sever on hit for 1E
1 Stylish Assassin On the turn after defeating a target with an assassination may make a Social attack with Multi-Target(All Bar Self) Undamaging Parry Stun ignores multi target penalties, ignores Alert, cancels all actions on hit. On a success it ALSO prevents targets from being Alert when parried and while stunned.
1 Social Assassin attack unready targets with a Social assassinate attack (any type of social attack) adding Devastating +X where X is enough to defeat the target in one hit. Or gain +3 vs targets with only 1 injury remaining.
2 Collateral Damage On Assassinate success (after parry)1E to basic Attack using the same option with Multi-Attack(All Bar Self).
2 Assassin's Driver All Energy min 1 vs Unready only to add Assassin KO Driver to add the damage from the fall to the attack (min 1)
This driver attack does NOT target the floor beneath it's target unlike normal ones, unless you miss and smash into it.
1 Counter Assassinate When an Assassinate attack is made against you may roll a Hide action vs attacker to immediately make an Assassinate attack back against them treating them as undread. If it fails you may instead make a basic attack. And you may attempt an damaging special Deceptive social attack on detected targets trying to assassinate you(ignoring Alert) to pretend you did not detect them, downgrading their attempted assassinations against you to basic attacks.
1 Murderous Assassin If you have 0E since the beginning of the turn then in resource phase regain +1E per target you defeated with Assassin attacks that turn (after blocks).

Dancing
Take your clothes off and dance around for fun and profit.
OK so THIS set is basically everything that's potentially wrong about the torn shirt times 100. It is sort of cool though, has at least one potential mildly questionable exploit involving Distracting Movement and REALLY high movement speeds by combining various mobility skills to catapult yourself off high speed chariots then fall of a cliff for RNG breaking penalties to everyone else's actions. (I decided to call the exploit “Lady Godiva Turbo Overdrive”) but it largely seems like a fun set so I'm keeping it for now
0 The “Entertainment” As an action once per ST get free pass into a restricted area. Still may be searched/item restricted.
0 Sexy Bimbo Naughty +1 Ignorant +1 on SDef
0 Fan Cutter Removes Undamaging from Fan items and1E to remove Undamaging from any Fan attack again if it gets it from somewhere else (like a default Knock or Disarm or something).
1 Distracting Movement Must be naked or skimpy, all targets in your LoS suffer -X penalty to all rolls where X is the distance you moved modified by your inappropriate target seductive penalty against that target
1 Beautiful Attacks Must be naked or skimpy, any Normal attack you gain a bonus vs All equal to 2 Minus Inappropriate Seduction Target penalty. For 1E increase this to 5 Minus the penalty (on hit).
0 Escape Your Clothing Disarm clothing or armour to add Wrestle and Escape to any action. For multi turn disarms must be declared but only costs an action on the last turn.
1 Dance Of Distraction Seductive Special Social Distract attack may add Parry (cancels all actions on hit) and ignore multiple target penalties. And 1E may ALSO combine Dance of Distraction with Prevent Alarm special social attack
1 Take It Off As an action remove main clothing item (or a cloak or skirt) to make a Special Seductive social attack on all targets with LoS on you, (allied and enemy) Multi-Target(All Bar Self) Adding Undamaging Parry (cancel all actions on hit) and Stun this attack ignores Multi-Target penalties, but does not ignore Alert. If this leaves you entirely naked it gains +2 vs Non-Naughty and +2 vs Strict
1 Take It Off Now You can perform Take It Off with expended items, and may do so at no action cost with items that are expended/destroyed or disarmed in the same turn or as part of a block in the prior turn.
1 Stripped Of Burdens If you have 0E at the start of turn then in resource phase regain 1E if you have removed or entirely destroyed your main clothing item that turn. If this left you entirely naked regain 3 Energy instead.

Acrobatics
0 Quick Instincts Vision 1 on SDef while not Blind. Smell 1 on SDef Sonar 1 on SDef while not Deaf.
0 Cat Fall Stun self (unready next turn) OR your standard Action to prevent a falling damage attack. And gain +1E in resource phase
0 Circus Freak Naughty +1 Common +1 on SDef

1 Acrobatic Driver All Energy min 0, Falling basic close range attack becomes special and gains Driver (minimum +1 Devastating)
1 Acrobatic Escape optionally add Evasive Undamaging Knock Escape +3 vs All, to a basic close range attack as a Special Attack action. Also add Wrestle for 1E or by expending clothing/armour item. May be applied to free escape attacks gained from Guards etc.
0 Acrobatic Recovery 1E for free stand up, or Control Destination of throw applied to you. Or move to non-aerial portion of zone or adjacent zone instead of falling.
1 Wall Running 1E add Climb to movement. +3 to Climbing Checks. May add Climb any time you Run or Charge at no cost.
0 Swimming Skill May add Swim to movement for no penalties due to Swimming. +3 to swimming checks.
1 Attack Mobility may Attack then move on charges, may use short and long range attacks on charges.
1 Assisted Launch Close-Range Single-Target undamaging unarmed parry (cancel all actions bar movement on hit) +2 vs Non-Fast, +2 vs Slow Drop parry effect optionally, willing or inannimate targets auto hit, lets you leap adding Jump to move and move +X zones where X is targets movement this turn.
1 Contortionist no penalty from being in a crowded or narrow zone. Add Wrestle and optionally Escape to any action. Gain +3 vs Grabbing or Grabbed while you are Grabbed or Grabbing to all actions, even Social ones.
1E (on hit) to upgrade Escape action (requires actual escaping) to add Grab or Throw
1 Juggler Temporary juggle hand slots for each hand, or throw dropped items for free. Move items thrown at you (miss or allied) and disarm/stolen items to juggle/hand slots optionally.
0 Trapeze Balance immune to passive triggers for “misstep” hazards, unless clumsy, then remove one step worse triggering for them.
1 Circus Performer If you have 0 Energy since the start of turn in resource phase regain +1E per undamaging attack you succeed in (after parry) that turn.

Magical Classy Skills
Classy skill sets for magical characters. Very important as sources of the Mystic Keyword (except Magician which cheats) so you can use your magic skill sets without charged batteries and wands if you want to.
Magician
Get yourself a big hat. Get a bunny rabbit and some doves, hire a lovely assistant and make her wear a skimpy sequinned assistant outfit and learn assassination skills.
[spoiler[Is sort of roguish but has fallen into the Magical Classy set category instead. Sort of. Never actually makes you magic, but lets you fake magical abilities and do it without the magic. Or do various other things that help you out as a magical charlatan.[/spoiler]
0 Inconceivable! 1 Block for 1E vs Deceptive attacks, and MUST use it if possible.
In addition in the turn AFTER using this effect you MUST make an additional Deceptive social attack during your action for EACH use of this effect in the last block phase! The only thing that can stop you is being knocked out or killed, you will target allies if no other options.
0 Charlatan Educated +1 Common +1 on SDef
0 Non-Magical Skills Allows you to nominate and modify skills to remove Magic from their function. (during training/retraining of skills)
0 Selective Senses Vision2 OR Smell 2 OR Sonar 2 on SDef, select at beginning of turns.
0 Wand Master You can use any magic wand item as if you had the matching blaster skill, even if you don't. And may apply Non-Magical Skills to it's use if you have it.
0 Battery Bomber You can throw a magical battery (with a charge) causing it to explode with a primary target other than you (and potential secondary blast targets) when you do so you add +2 vs all to the attack. Also you may expend 1 Energy to increase the blast to all zones at short range.
0 Charlatan's Powers May add +3 vs Non-Tricky to any Energy or Magic attack for 1E on hit.
1 Quick Change 1E for 3 Equip actions at no action cost!
0 Nothing Up My Sleeves 1E on hit to add Disarm to a Magic or Energy attack, and include 1 free Equip action at no cost.
2 Puff Of Smoke Energy/Magic attack on a hit or a miss, 1E hide or sneak ignoring Alert. Also triggers at no cost on any magical teleport actions.
1 Misdirection for 1E or as your action you can prompt any other target (even an unwilling one) to roll a free off hand Distraction special social attack of your choice. The attack gains Parry and any targets trying to hit you with any attacks have hits against you cancelled on hit. In addition you may treat these targets (if hit) as not being Alert towards you if you perform a hide or other stealth OR social action the same turn.

Wizardry
Learn enough about magic to cheat the system and get discounted magical ability upgrades.

OK so that is basically the entire LT Skill sets document, at least, I don't think I missed any.

With any luck I'll decide to cut and paste up the Items document some time shortly. But you have access to the document itself now if you are interested before I get around to it.

After that maybe some sample builds and encounters will be in order, since that is actually basically the vast majority of the rules for the LT tier of the game complete right there.

I'm really glad to see this stuff going up. In particular, I really like the handling of drift, base-building, and skill unlocking. Drift, in particular, is something that Shadowrun and After Sundown have always needed and never had. I don't agree with all of your choices, but thi is the most thorough treatment I've seen of any of those issues.

Some Notable Item Assumptions
I can't remember if I've covered all this already or not, so here are some important notes.

Items have keywords. This is occasionally important for direct attacks against items and rip and crack effects etc...

Clothing and armour items have numbers next to some of their keywords like say Armour 4 When you wear items in your main clothing slot (or if they go in another slot like cloak but state they add to or become top layer defence) they modify your defence profile adding their keywords AND any associated bonuses.

Weapon items commonly have bonuses listed after their keywords like how swords get +2 vs Body. If you use the weapon as an attack then you apply +2 vs targets with Body on their defence profile, etc...

Item modifiers change items, you can stack a bunch onto an item. Some modiers add +1 Complex, changing a simple item to a Complex one or a Complex one to Very Complex, occasionally they may add +2 Complex and go straight to Very Complex. Others may be listed as “Minimum Complex” or “Minimum Very Complex” these only change an items complexity if it is not ALREADY at least that complex (so you can have an item with a +1 Complex modifier AND a Minimum Complex modifier and it is still just a Complex item).
Stacking Minimum Complexity modifiers... OK so there isn't a cap on this and there SHOULD be. Currently there is technically no limitation to prevent you taking an unreasonable number of Minimum Complex modifiers on say a weapon, up to and including all of them. Just... don't do that? It's really intended to be just one or two of those tops.
Projectile weapons (and some others) have an item profile which is used for defence and if you use it as a melee weapon (ie club someone with your bow) AND have a projectile attack profile which is a set of keywords and bonuses for any projectile attack with the item.

Projectile weapons typically need ammo. Bows and Crossbows need Quivers, and Guns need Bullet pouches. You must HAVE an ammo to make a normal attack with a projectile weapon (in your pocket, or in your hand. A projectile weapon may share a pocket or hand with a matching ammo item). The ammo is NOT spent by normal attacks, but all projectile weapons have some sort of attack upgrade that CAN expend the ammo.

Battery items hold a charge that can be spent as additional energy by the user on certain magic skills. Like most additional energy pools batteries (all your batteries applicable to the skill being used) are considered an additional SEPARATE pool of energy, so if you use an All Energy cost ability, it drains EITHER your normal Energy pool OR your Battery pool, your choice. Worth noting here that similarly characters with that trait (or the skill) that lets you spend Injuries as energy treat their Injuries as Energy and their regular Energy as two separate pools in the same way.

Items with the Unique keyword allow only one item of that type (or with that modifier) to be equipped by the same character at the same time.

Items with the Disposable keyword are usually either potions or oils or something. Potions and bombs etc... are destroyed on use. Oils and Paints are destroyed after being removed, expended or disarmed. These items are often sold in stacks that can fit in one pocket like “3c for a stack of 3” as its price listing.
Why do some of these things exist?
There are lots of variant tie in clothing items and modifiers that let you do things like have skimpy or partial plate, or chain, or tight armour, or robes in various combos. They exist to encourage various hybrid character builds and general hybrid item variety.

There are rather a lot of upgrades floating around that can add Transparent (and occasionally Cameleon or sometimes Camouflage) to some items, which is handy for Camouflage/Chameleon/Transparent characters who don't want to use items that ruin their natural hiding abilities.

There are a number of items that add (or change) item properties to Energy or Magic. This is important for the annoying Etherial characters, and for interacting with various skills. So an flaming pistol could let you pull of Magician teleportation abilities because its a magic energy attack, and an Imaginary Sword lets you attack ghosts (but might prevent you from attacking non-magical humans).

General Speciality Items
These items were the original “start” of the weird cultural item alternative/extra options lists... then I decided not to do it like that. But they remain here because of I dunno. Lazy legacy lets say. Lets call them a sampler of cultural item extras.
2c Chain Metal Heavy Armour 4 Like a Rope only made out of metal. Has a defence bonus.
1c Leather Cord Plastic Like a Rope only made out of leather.

0c Hybrid Clothing +1 COMPLEX Clothing, combine two clothing items into one.
0c Hybrid Gloves +1 COMPLEX Clothing OR Weapon, combine two gloves items into one. (Adds complexity type based on type of items combined)
Belts are god damn awesome Yeah there is like no reason not to have a belt. Well. Sort of. Technically someone could disarm both belt pockets at once by knocking the belt off. But It's a miniscule draw back. Everyone gets a belt. When players stumble across a culture that manufactures Extra Belt items they ALL buy them. Etc... It's kinda OK. Sort of.

Oh and if you have the time and administrative energy you get weapon sheaths for all your weapons, because why the fuck not?

A Hasty Hacky Valuation of Men and Beasts
So you have leadership skills or beast master skills?

How much is a beast or mercenary slave worth, if you bought one in the market? (instead of getting them free with buildings like you are supposed to)
Ok the numbers here are ESPECIALLY ass pulled junk. But should give some price guidelines for players if they really want it.
Civilian – (No Skills) 1 Coin Purchase, 1 Coin for 1 ST rental (per 5 civilians)
Veteran – (1x 0 Point Skill) 2 Coin Purchase, 1 Coin for 1 ST rental (per 2 veterans)
Elite – (1 Point worth Skills) 5 Coin Purchase, 1 Coin for 1 ST rental (per 1 elite)
Advanced Elites – per additional 1 Point worth of skills, +5 Coins purchase, +1 Coin for 1 ST rental, stacking and availability of advancement should be limited.
Named – 10 Coins per 1 Skill point purchase, 3 coins per skill point rental (per 1 ST), availability and stacking should be highly limited.

Prices for purchase do NOT include equipment. Prices for rental assume some minimal appropriate items.

Limitations on Purchase and rental– It is especially worth noting that when renting the services of 100 elite crossbowmen they come from somewhere usually a local organisation that rents mercenaries, or they aren't available at all. The sourcing limitation means only certain SORTS and LEVELS of mercs may be available, and that organisations can and will refuse, or corrupt rental or purchase of troops if they feel the contract is undesirable as is.

This makes renting 100 crossbowmen and declaring yourself king of bandit country a somewhat more difficult thing since, in bandit country, the only source you can rent 100 crossbowmen from is the CURRENT king of bandit country...

Beast Limitations – Beasts price in at similar costs to mercenaries, but unless a culturally domesticated animal are likely available only in very limited numbers, especially as elite or named monsters, which are going to be limited even if there are numerous weaker culturally domesticated versions of the same animal on the market.

And again beasts come from somewhere, someone is selling you their stable or kennel stocks, or you are robbing (or paying for robbed) monsters from a monster hive. Domestic animal organisations again may act as a limit against you buying or renting 100 horses for your cavalry crossbowmen, and actually attempting to buy a named hulk monster is something you can only do at rare opportunities when one (unusually) turns up on the market for some reason.

Beast Advancement – Permitting beasts especially named pets to advance... is questionable. But probably should be allowed. At the very least they perhaps should get the 1 Point “help a friend” experience bonus, and then require the same skill advancement cap limitations to be met as with any LT character. At this point a character that takes a beast master skill and runs around with a named steed or hulk is effectively recruiting an additional character to the party, but whatever, that's close enough to just another player turning up or an NPC being present so... yeah.

Current Completion State!
OK so that means I've now posted everything I intend to in the near future. I would like to add in the LT buildings once revised, and the Cultural stuff once revised and completed. But most importantly.

The material here should now be sufficiently complete to be playable.

And not just a little playable, but like, a whole damn campaign playable.

Sure the base building stuff is still missing, sure the piles of optional extra cultural items aren't there. But there is a LOT of stuff and enough to do most of a traditional RPG with.

Mid Tier of course hasn't even been started... but 20 points of Low Tier skills and a mountain of items covers a LOT of potential ground.

So anyway. If I feel like it next up I may post some sample builds and maybe some example encounter stuff using this material. Stuff like that.

Probably not best to expect the buildings or cultural stuff to be revised and completed any time soon, I might suddenly do it all in one week, or I might take months to get around to it.

And Mid Tier only gets started after that.

These hideous chains of keywords are hideous. There has got to be a way to cut down on that shit.

There are potentially better layouts, and I could reform things so that there were fewer keywords (by a small margin before sacrificing complexity).

But over all it's hideously functional.

Nice fluff descriptions for each entry and a multi line layout would help a lot. But those would mean I was printing more pages, obscuring the function of the mechanics slightly, and would mean I'd need separate documents anyway for this or similar layout so I can cut and paste things for NPCs and stuff.

The open office documents are slightly more readable than the posts here. But only marginally. And largely due to more hideous bolding and coloring in some of the skill text. I suspect in post format had I gone through and unbolded the red text it might be better looking, but damnit. I've got BB code cut and paste fatigue already.

I'd be willing to assist in typesetting, but I'm not at all familiar with OpenOffice. There are a lot of fancy things I can do with Word, but I'm unclear if I'd be able to leverage that technique into OpenOffice.

Hmm... this would definitely benefit from an HTML treatment.

edit: sweet... OO can export it to html. I...think I'll poke at this. :D

OK Now for some example materials
Some Zero Level Examples
OK so there is no fixed starting point for the game. It's probably better to let players start with somewhere between 2-5 point characters. But it's within the grasp of the system to start as early as Zero points for super harsh crawl out of the gutter scenarios, and we can learn a few things about the mechanics by starting like that.

Scenario Resources
So our scenario is some bullshit about the characters all being 0 level incompetents who miraculously survived a boat wreck. They each managed to grab exceedingly minimal gear, basically a simple weapon each and maybe some basic clothing or underwear (or both).

Enemy resources will also be highly limited. The reduced lower level NPC traits, like Civilian, basically exist for the very early phase of low resource LT scenarios just like this, and it might be the only time we ever expect the players to care about fighting that sort of opponent.

Encounter maps are not expected to be altogether big or complex at this stage, the PCs cannot handle elaborate or larger groups of enemies, so there is no particular reason to map out more than a small area.

The Sample NPCs
Pirate Villager Scum
(Civilian) Human Animal Flesh Soft Trooper
NDEF 5= 5 + Weak +Tricky 0
SDEF 10/15=10+5 Alert
Max E = 0
Max Inj = 1
Tricky Tricky 0 to NDef SDef and all actions
Weak Weak to NDef and all Actions.

Skills (0 Points)
-No Skills-

Items
Main Clothing – 1c Standard Underwear Clothing Cloth Skimpy Partial Soft Light Basic underwear layer item
Hand 1 – 1c Club Weapon Metal Hard Hammer +2 vs Small, Big sized club users with Big sized clubs also get a +2 vs Normal Sized.
OR
Hand 1 - 2c Spear Weapon Metal Hard Spear +2 vs Big, Small sized with spears +2 vs Normal Sized. optionally be Thrown for Long-Range

Notes - Villagers are exceptionally bad. They use weapons that are only going to get bonuses vs size categories they won't be fighting. They have no armour and cannot even use the torn shirt action with their clothing (because they are unamed) and it is just underwear because its all ragged and partial (and conveniently will cause a different defence profile for example material), and they have absolutely no skills at all. They are unamed co-operative attackers and that's basically it.
Pirate Villager Boss
(Named) Human Animal Flesh Soft
NDEF 9= 5 + Slow +Strong 4
SDEF 10/15=10+5 Alert
Max E = 3
Max Inj = 3
Strong Strong 4 to NDef. Strong to all actions. 1E for Devastating +1 to any Strong normal attack (on hit)
Slow Slow to NDef and all Actions. 1E to remove 1 Slow from any action.

Skills (0 Points)
-No Skills-

Items
Main Clothing – 1c Standard Clothing Clothing Cloth Soft Basic main clothing item
Hand 1 – 1c Club Weapon Metal Hard Hammer +2 vs Small, Big sized club users with Big sized clubs also get a +2 vs Normal Sized.
Hand 2 - 4c Hand Gun Weapon Metal Hard Gun Requires Bullet Ammo, fires Gun Projectile Metal Hard Weak Long-Range Double-Range-Penalties Single-Target +2 vs Body Before Attack expend 1 ammo for Devastating +1
Pocket 1 - 1c Bullet Pouch Plastic Soft Ammo Item for Guns (equip in pockets).

Notes - Not much of a boss, but still potentially devastating to zero level named opponents. His hand gun attack could (once) rack up to a 3 damage hit (strong upgrade for 1E +1 devastating, then 1 ammo spent for +1 devastating, then out of ammo and cannot shoot again).
The Sample Party
I'm throwing together four characters here...

Lizard Girl
(Named) Lizard Girl Animal Flesh Soft
NDEF 8= 5 + Fast 3+Cowardly 1
SDEF 11/16=10+Cowardly 1+5 Alert
Max E = 5
Max Inj = 3
Energetic Fast 3 to NDef. +2 Max Energy. 1E to add Fast to any non-slow action. If you regain at least 1E in Resources regain +1 E.
Cowardly Cowardly 1 to NDef and SDef and Cowardly to all actions. Scary attacks against you gain Devastating +1

People Traits -
NA Chameleon Skin Make pretty colours and patterns!
NA Shedding Skin You shed your skin like a snake from time to time.
NA Night Eyes You can see well in the dark in a purely non-mechanical manner.
NA Big Lungs You have fantastic lungs. May need special fitting of restrictive chest clothing, no cost.
NA Flexible Tongue You have a freakishly long and dexterous tongue It might even be forked like a snake's.
NA Gecko Pads +3 to Climb checks.
NA Bonus Tail tail in addition to normal limbs. SELECTED +3 to Climb checks
NA Claws Claws, you have them. +3 Climb bonus

Skills (0 Points)
-No Skills-

Items
Main Clothing – Standard Underwear
Hand 1 – 1c (for 2) Dagger Weapon Metal Hard Sword Dagger Small Light Weak +2 vs Flesh may add Thrown for ShortRange
Hand 2 - 1c (for 2) Dagger Weapon Metal Hard Sword Dagger Small Light Weak +2 vs Flesh may add Thrown for ShortRange
Feet - 0c Bare Feet Not An Item, Caltrops get bonuses, +1 vs Non-Deaf on Hide and Sneak actions.

Notes - Lizard girl splurged on her people traits, not sure if she is going to take them all as skills later but has an idea of stuff she wants to leave as options. She brought her underwear along as her main clothing item because she plans to invest in Chameleon skin early and it will provide less of a penalty to that being skimpy. Despite having no skill points she has a fairly ludicrous +9 climb bonus, not that it really matters compared to really keyword based climb movement, but she could actually use that a bit. She walks in with a pair of daggers but aspires to be an unarmed claw, tail and tongue fighter (or something) in future, maybe light weapons too, maybe not.
Mr Smash
(Named)Human Animal Flesh Soft
NDEF 9= 5 + Decadent +Strong 4
SDEF 10/15=10+Decadent+5 Alert
Max E = 3
Max Inj = 3
Strong Strong 4 to NDef. Strong to all actions. 1E for Devastating +1 to any Strong normal attack (on hit)
Decadent Decadent to NDef and SDef and all actions. Cannot target Pretty characters or objects with anything other than Seductive actions, unless you pay All Energy Min 0. If successfully attack a Pretty target regain 1E in Resource phase.

Skills (0 Points)
-No Skills-

Items
Main Clothing – 1c Standard Clothing Clothing Cloth Soft Basic main clothing item
Hand 1 – 6c Kinetic Wand Metal TK Energy Magic Wand allows lesser Kinetic Blaster attack even without Skill or power source. Energy Magic TK Long-Range Single-Target +2 vs All -2 vs Magic
With Power Source 1E (on hit) to add Throw
With Skill it enhances it to change it's multi target upgrade ability to Multitarget(up to 10) (note no zone limit)

Notes - Mr Smash wants to be a wizard or something. For now he has somehow convinced the GM to let his starting weapon be a Kinetic Wand, which was probably a poor choice of wand type, but Mr Smash will hear no reason!
Betty Blades
(Named) Six Armed ElfAnimal Flesh Soft
NDEF 9= 5 + Fast 4
SDEF 10/15=10+5 Alert
Max E = 3
Max Inj = 3
Fast Fast 4 to NDef. Fast to all actions. On any action 1E per +1 Movement.
Feeble Slow to your NDef (but not actions). -1 Max Energy. At 0 Energy may expend Injuries as separate Energy pool.

People Traits -
NA Exceptionally Long Ears Long ears like a rabbit, elf, or elf rabbit.
NA Hand Like Feet May require custom footwear.
NA More Arms You have some extra arms. Little useless ones. Or just the potential to grow some.

Skills (0 Points)
-No Skills-

Items
Main Clothing –1c Standard Clothing Clothing Cloth Soft Basic main clothing item
Hand 1 – 2c Sword Weapon Metal Hard Sword +2 vs Body
Hand 2 - 2c Hammer Weapon Metal Hard Hammer +2 vs Armour optionally Thrown to add Long-Range and Double-Range-Penalties

Notes - Betty splashed out on a few people traits, and plans to be a many armed fighter of some form (light weapons has something nice in it she might lean that way). She convinced the GM to give her an extra weapon since she is being all multi armed, even if her extra arms are not up and running yet at 0 points.
Mr Lies
(Named) Elflette Animal Flesh Soft Small
NDEF 10= 5 + Tricky 3 +Small 2+Weak
SDEF 13/18=10+Tricky 3+5 Alert
Max E = 3
Max Inj = 3
Tricky Tricky 3 to NDef and SDef. Tricky to all actions. 1E to reroll any roll against a Non-Tricky target. (Once per roll).
Weak Weak to NDef and all Actions. 1E to remove 1 Weak from any action.

People Traits -
NA Small Sized Adds Small 2 to NDef, “Unarmed Attack” adds Small, Normal Attacks with Small add -2 vs Big and +2 vs Small
Small sized weapons one handed, normal sized 2 handed, cannot use big. Wears small sized clothing and armour.

Skills (0 Points)
-No Skills-

Items -
Main Clothing –1c Standard Clothing Clothing Cloth Soft Basic main clothing item
Hat – 3c Deceptive Mask Hat Plastic Armour Adds +1 vs All to your Deceptive attacks. Expend to fuel any Trickery skill in place of 1E.

Notes - Mr Lies is a lying midget elfling thingy. He convinced the GM to let him have a Deceptive Mask as his starting weapon, and it was probably a poor choice on his part as a zero point character for several reasons but he wants to go lies lies and more lies from the get go. The GM offered him a real weapon as well and he refused it.

Sample Encounter 1 -
Layout – The encounter occurs over 4 zones. A beach. A zone on a cliff over looking the beach. Some more beach. And Even more beach. Prior to the encounter the party was sneaking around on the beach. But the encounter begins when Betty Blades and Mr Lies are detected by roving wreck pillagers.

The party is all in the southern most beach zone (all beach zones are adjacent to the cliff top zone, cliff on the boundary between zones), there are 5 pirate villagers in the next beach zone, 5 more in the northern most beach zone, and a pirate boss on top of the cliff zone. The encounter shouldnt be altogether too hard, but the pirate boss being on top of the cliff zone could be problematic.

Turn 1 -
Betty Blades is Fast. She goes first. Mr Lies tells her to cool it, he wants to talk his way out of the situation, she points out he is level 0 and has like NO helpful abilities for doing that yet and attacks. She performs a standard Charge action, allowing her to move into the adjacent beach zone with 5 villages and make a close range attack. She uses her Sword because the villagers are in partial gear and have the Body keyword giving her a +2 to attack. She only needs a 3 to hit. She rolls a 5 and hits. Dealing one damage to a villager.

Lizard Girl technically could spend an Energy to go in the Fast phase. But decides not to. She waits.

All normal speed characters are expected to go now. The party waits on the NPCs. The villager Betty damaged won't fall down to the end of turn when damage applies. So he and his 4 friends co-operative attack her with clubs. They gain a +3 bonus from co-operative attack, and that is it, but the party are 0 level and have low defences so it will only take a 6. They roll a 15 and hit her squarely for 1 damage.

The other 5 villagers up the beach are only aware of Mr Lies and Betty Blades (the others succeeded in their sneaking and remain hidden this turn). Betty is already damaged, they could maybe charge in and knock her down or something, but the damage cap prevents them from damaging her further. So they co-operatively throw all their spears at Mr Lies, needing 7 to hit. They miss on an unlucky 1.

The Pirate Boss is slow and won't act yet. He can spend an energy to act in the normal phase, but decides to wait instead.

Mr Lies being a stubborn bastard insists on trying to lie to someone with a Deceptive social attack. Unfortunately a fight has clearly broken out and everyone gets Alert 5 on their Social Defence. He doesn't care and takes a shot anyway. He is flat out going to lie to a villager in Betty Blades zone and try and convince him the others are out to get him. He needs a 14 to do so, gets a crazy ass 17 and succeeds.

Mr Smash has until now been hidden. Because he is hidden he could potentially pull off an assassination attack on any target as he can treat anyone who hasnt seen him as an unready target. This has no effect on the villagers, but would score an instant kill on the Pirate Boss if he could pull it off. He gets a +2 vs all and needs 7 to hit the boss with his kinetic wand's ranged attack. Unfortunately he rolls a 3, revealing himself as he misses.

Lizard Girl is currently hidden. She decides to perform a Sneak action and climb the cliff stealthily. Now doing so moves her closer to observers, AND the observers since the last sneak action (the one she succeeded right before combat) have become alert. Sneak persistence rules require her to roll a new sneak check. Also she is climbing a cliff and needs to roll a relatively arbitrary climb check. The GM declares the cliff a difficulty 10 climb, so she adds her +9 and just barely auto succeeds on the climb, on the sneak roll she has bare feet and gets +1 vs Non-Deaf (pirate boss is not deaf), she needs a 14 and rolls up a 15. She climbs the cliff boundary and is in the pirate bosses zone and remains hidden for next turn.

Slow phase rolls around for the pirate boss decides who to shoot. He only brought one ammo with him, so he decides not to spend it and just makes a normal shot. His target is Mr Smash as Mr Smash (appears) the to be the only threat to him with his ranged wand attack. Mr Smashes clothing fully covers his body, so he has no Body keyword on defence, the gun gets no bonus, Mr Smashes defence is 9. Pirate boss rolls a 5 and misses.

The turn rolls into the ending phases. Block Phase sees a chance for Betty Blades to tear her shirt to block her damage. She does not choose to and takes 1 Normal Standard Injury (she has 2 left). Damage phase applies that damage to her, knocks out a villager from the damage she dealt, and sees another villager convinced his former allies are out to get him thanks to Mr Lies... welll... lies.

Turn 2-
Betty Blades is fast. She has enemies all around her, but can reach some further up the beach. She charges out of her zone and into the guys in the north most zone who threw spears last turn, and attacks them with her sword. Rolling a solid 20 and dealing another damage.

Lizard girl waits it out and normal phase rolls up.

The five villagers Betty just charged into attack her. And hit for 1 damage with their co-operative club attacks.

The 3 villagers she left behind cannot attack her. If she had moved in the normal phase they could have attacked her simultaneous to her leaving their zone, as it is they either have to charge after her, throw spears or just not bother, since she is already damaged and the damage cap would make it problematic they instead just charge into the zone with Mr Lies and Mr Smash, and attack Mr Lies. They roll a 14 and hit him squarely with a co-operative club attack for 1 damage.

However, the villager Mr Lies lied to acts at the same time as them. Now he can treat them as in his zone OR in the zone they charged to since they acted at the same time as him. He decides to stay where he is and try and club one of his former companions as they leave. He rolls a solid 18 and takes one down with 1 damage.

Mr Lies does not like his damage, and decides to make a special social attack in the form of a social parry using lies. He will lie his way into making the attack against him miss. He needs a 14. He rolls a 3. he remembers he is Tricky and his opponents are not. He spends 1 Energy to reroll with his Tricky good trait ability. Getting a 16 the parry negates the hit against him and he will not be taking damage when the end phases roll around. But the attack was a special undamaging attack, so no more villagers are knocked out or converted with lies.

Lizard Girl decides to try and assassinate the Pirate Boss. She has however only got daggers, the pirate boss has a proper full suit of clothing and does not have Flesh on his defence. She is attacking at a flat +0. Pirate boss is 9 defence. But if she hits she takes him out in one hit, no blocks even thanks to assassination. But she rolls a 7, missing and revealing herself.

Mr Smash decides he cannot afford to try and cover Lizard Girl so he shoots a villager in his zone point blank in the face instead. Rolling a 15 and blasting one away.

Pirate boss leaves it to the slow phase and acts now. Not liking Lizard Girl's attempt on his life he spends his ammo before attack for the devastating +1 bonus (if he hits her), his gun applies it's body bonus against her because she is wearing a partial clothing item. He rolls a 12 and hits. He is strong so he spends 1 Energy on hit to add an additional +1 Devastating. This will deal a total of 3 damage to Lizard Girl.

In end of phase 3 pirate villagers go down, Mr Lies is NOT damaged thanks to his parry, Betty Blades IS damaged. And Lizard Girl is taking 3 damage. Betty chooses not to block and takes it. Lizard girl tears her underwear item with torn shirt because if she doesn't she is out of hit points, and takes only 2 of her damage.

Turn 3
Betty Blades acts first. She feels she is in danger what with just the 1 clothes block and 1 Injury left . She decides to charge as her action getting out of the zone with 4 guys, moving to the zone with the lied to villager, spending 1 Energy on her Fast good trait ability to move 1 additional zone to arrive back in the southernmost beach zone where there is only 1 threatening villager. She attacks it with her sword rolling a 5 and damaging it. She is now out of reach of the 4 villagers up the beach.

In the normal phase the damaged villager takes a shot at Betty. Rolling a 20 and dealing her 1 damage before he goes down at the end of the turn.

The 4 villagers Betty left behind decide to run through their confused ally, they perform a Run action, exhausting themselves because they have 0 energy (exhaust just prevents them from running again mostly). Having run two zones to join Betty in her zone... they cannot attack anyone.

Lizard Girl Just all out tries to stab pirate boss. She rolls a 19 and hits. Dealing 1 damage with a dagger.

Mr Smash decides to shoot the running villagers. He could shoot them in their origin zone, for -1 range penalty, but decides to shoot them in the adjacent zone where there is 0 range penalty as they pass through. He rolls a 6 and takes one out.

The lied to villager can target the running villagers at any point during their movement. He decides to stand still and club one as they run past. He gets a 19, he is totally awesome. Knocking another one out.

Mr Lies decides to lie to villagers again, like Mr Smash he could target them at any point during their run movement. He waits until they arrive in his zone. He needs 14 again and gets a 9. He spends an energy on his tricky reroll, gets a 2 and misses.

The Pirate Boss is out of ammo and can no longer fire his gun. He pulls out his club and attacks Lizard Girl. He rolls a 17 and hits. Dealing one damage.

In the end of turn phase 3 more villagers go down. Leaving only 2 hostile villagers (and the deceived villager). Pirate Boss takes his damage without blocking. Betty tears her clothing with Torn Shirt to cancel her one damage (as it would have knocked her out) and Lizard Girl has no choice but to take her 1 damage from the club and is defeated.

Turn 4
Betty Blades as always acts first. She attacks the remaining 2 villagers in her zone. Rolling a sodding 2 and missing.

The two villagers are sufficiently smart to know that attacking betty is the most optimal option they are getting a co-operative +1 with their dwindled numbers by now and roll up a 17 and hit her.

Mr Lies decides to try and save Betty and makes another Deceptive Parry attempt rolling a 13, just missing, spending his last Energy to roll a 15 and parry the damage to Betty.

The lied to villager decides to throw his unused spear at the pirate boss. He rolls a 3 and misses solidly.

Mr Smash decides to shoot the last 2 villagers, he rolls a 12. Suddenly remembers he is strong and spends 1 Energy on hit to deal +1 Devastating for 2 damage in total. Against normal targets the damage wouldn't roll over but the villagers are co-operative attackers sharing a zone, so it damages both of them and will knock them both out at the end of the turn.

Lizard Girl is defeated since last turn and cannot act. She may need first aid or something to avoid dying from blunt trauma, but it can wait until the end of the fight as there are no hard mechanical requirements on that.

The Pirate Boss thinks he is more uber than he really is. Now he COULD try climbing down the cliff as part of a charge, and on a 10 plus he would make it. But he thinks he has style and instead does what any ground based character can, and simply moves off the edge of the cliff. Technically placing him in a zone in the air above the beach zone where the three remaining party member are. He does not fall yet. He will fall at the start of his action next turn. If the attack misses him he will be fine and fight on. If it hits him he will be damaged, knocked over, and his turn will end before he does anything.

Turn 5
Betty goes first. She has a throwable hammer. And pirate boss is currently suspended in the air 1 zone above her. She throws the hammer at him. Getting a 12 and hitting. 1 damage to the pirate boss.

Lied to villager believes his allies are out to get him... but he doesn't believe the party are specifically his friends, that wasn't the set up Mr Lies (perhaps foolishly) decided at the time of the deceptive defeat. So seeing all his traitorous allies defeated except an outnumbered boss suspended in mid air, seeing a clear path to escape he just plain turns around and runs for it, placing him just one zone off the previously mapped battle field to the north.

Lizard girl is of course still defeated.

Mr Smash decides to shoot pirate boss. He rolls a 16 and hits. However this would do NOTHING thanks to the damage cap and betty already hitting him.. until he spends 1 Energy for his strong bonus to deal 1 extra damage. His attack now deals 2 damage, and surpasses Betty's attack. As most damaging attack it will be the one applied to the pirate boss for damage purposes.

Mr Lies decides to do what any character can do, and not act until a slower phase of the round. Just in case the pirate boss hits someone and he needs to pull off a parry or something.

Pirate boss acts in the slow phase as usual. Before his action he finally falls... and the ground hits him on its attack roll. For 1 damage and a Knock effect, knocking him over. It also ends his turn.

In the block phase the pirate boss tears his shirt for 1 block to prevent defeat.

Turn 6
Betty goes first. She tries to stab the knocked pirate boss with her sword. She misses. Knock provides no particular benefits to that, just limits the pirate's actions.

Mr Lies tries to lie to the knocked down pirate boss. He fails. He is out of energy for rerolls.

The last remaining pirate villager (the lied to one) continues to flee. He cannot run any longer so he just moves one zone further away.

Mr Smash decides to shoot the ass off the pirate boss. He rolls a 14 hits, and spends 1E to add his strong effect and deals 2 damage. He didnt need to. But he does anyway.

Pirate boss is knocked down he can stand up as his action. He could with 1 Energy (to act in the normal phase) attack Betty Bladesl while she was in reach since he is immobilised from the knock down. He cannot reach Mr Smash to parry. He knows he will be defeated by the end of the turn. He spends the 1 Energy to act in normal and swipe at Betty as she missed him. He rolls an 8, just missing her.

In the damage phase the pirate boss takes 2 damage, having only 1 hit point and no blocks left he is defeated.

Turn 7
Mr Smash decides he doesn’t want the deceived villager escaping he rolls a 10 on his ranged attack with a -3 penalty due to range to hit the distant fleeing villager. This does indeed hit and the deceived villager goes down.

Betty is injured but standing. And will need to repair her clothing item outside of the encounter and retrieve her hammer. Lizard Girl needs someone to climb the cliff and and provide some first aid. That could take some antics, but otherwise is perfectly doable. Loot is highly mediocre and mostly consists of ragged pirate underwear and a hand gun which needs its ammo pouch restored.

OK as small as the numbers of anyone paying actual genuine attention to this thread may be I'm actually a bit surprised to see absolutely no comments or questions on the zero level example encounter, as from my perspective I'd have thought it one of the most interesting bits on this thread.

So since no one else gives a damn I'll just talk about it a bit myself.
Things to Take Away from the Zero Level Sample Encounter
Some play was non-optimal or faked
Some choices made were poor. Lizard Girl should have thrown her spare dagger instead of climbing the cliff, pirate boss should have climb/charged down instead of jumping. But these things helped demonstrate some actions and stuff, so they did it anyway.

Many of the rolls were arbitrarily decided to best demonstrate certain points, though a number were rolled just for the hell of it if it didnt seem to matter.

Just worth mentioning this before some other commentary.

The Ranged Characters Walked Out Undamaged
The wand user and the social attacker were making ranged attacks, they stayed still and they shot stuff. Stuff had to get to them, and took it's time getting distracted with the two melee attackers.

As a result both the melee attackers were nearly wiped, and the ranged attackers walked away scratch free.

This isn't great. But is somewhat as to be expected. With no skills and limited gear there is little to prevent ranged attackers from doing that sort of thing.

Though in part it was also due to the set up and some tactical choices made either arbitrarily, poorly, or to demonstrate certain points.

Social Combat sort of sucks at this level
Mr Lies actually performed pretty well, but largely only by rolling high and exploiting his Tricky reroll ability. The Alert defence bonus really hurts in combat social attackers (in general) but also most especially before they get any abilities to bypass it or boost their social attack bonuses.

He probably should have taken a shot at a multi-target Deceptive Attack, both to demonstrate it and for the chance of succeeding. As it would have been pretty awesome. But odds were against him on that.

Over All a lot of stuff happened
Even a Zero Skill point encounter, with some very harsh limits on Items and NPC opponents, still generated a moderately elaborate and interesting result. Stuff happened. Options were engaged. Good Traits did things. Items were used in special ways. Terrain, obstacles, and layout and positioning were, to a limited degree, used.

The Energetic Ability is not so great
Even the Slow ability to upgrade from Slow to normal phase saw use in the encounter. The Energetic ability not so much. Going faster doesn't do much unless you use mobility to get out of someones reach, apply an on hit effect (not injury), or need to reach/compete with someone faster than you doing that. As such Slow guys will want to use their speed upgrade more often, because there are more people they need to occasionally pay to just get the same speed as. Normal speed Energetic characters don't need to upgrade to Fast that often, unless there are Fast characters leaping out of their combat reach all the time or something, which will be less common, because there are less Fast characters than normal speed ones.

However Energetic has the max energy and energy regen bonuses, and those are actually rather a big deal. So they are totally worth it, and having the slightly sucky Fast upgrade ability is a pretty good matching there.

Some abilities already present were under used or not used
Betty only used her Fast movement upgrade once. But then, it was a small map, not much running around to actually do.

She never kicked in with her Feeble Ability (and in retrospect looking at where her build is going probably should have taken Fragile instead anyway). But then, as a zero level character with not much to spend Energy on yet it's hardly surprising.

Mr Smash never had any effect applied by his decadence. But with the lack of Pretty opponents that's just the way that was.

Mr Lies Weak disadvantage... wasn't particularly. And his build may well lead it to not be much of an issue in future too. He certainly had no reason to use the upgrade from it. Weak however will still kick him in the nuts occasionally in future, but it is likely to do so primarily through occasional notable attack and effect bonuses against him. (much as Lizard Girl's Cowardly will).

Oh and I strongly suspect I forgot to add (or mention) a Club weapon based bonus vs Small against Mr Lies at least once. Hell I think he even missed one action when he delayed to slow phase for a possible parry, but then didn't need to.

Next time I shouldn't write this thing up and post it at 2:30 AM...

Turn Based Damage Cap had a major effect
Turn based damage cap forced a fair bit of either non-standard attacks like Parries, or otherwise forced more spreading of attacks between targets. As fully intended and expected. It worked really well as it always does.

Further the limited hit points and the whole "damage at end of turn" led to one or two parries to save characters that would have otherwise dropped. Which was a nice little demonstrated application of that.

Torn shirts were used, and 3 out of 5 characters who could do that did so. One of those three got to remain standing at the end of the fight in part because of doing so. No special injuries were around to demonstrate that aspect of the interaction with Blocks, but maybe next time...

Talking about next time
I'm thinking despite the lack of feedback I'll do a 3 point "about where characters would start if you weren't doing the nasty zero level thing" example shortly using the same characters built out to, well, 3 points and some better gear.

It should demonstrate some slightly more elaborate stuff.

That's a cool write-up. I do particularly like the damage-cap, that's really elegant.

Thanks for the breakdown. I read the example combat, but didn't get a chance to comment (homework).
I sent a link to this to a friend of mine, and he seemed interested. We might run a few tests ourselves. If we do, I'll be sure to post the results here.

A 3 Point example
This time I am using the same party of sample PCs.

Now they have been advanced with a few skill points and a selection of items. They are basically at a point that would be more sensible as a starting point for a lot of games.

Item resources are still potentially rather limited, with limited Coin wealth and limited access to looted gear. They are getting 3 skill points to spend on stuff.

Wealth Resource Distribution
OK, is totally unfair. Lizard Girl is wearing less than 8 Coins of Material, Mr Lies racks in at about 9 Coins, and Mr Smash and Betty Blades are running around with no less than 20 Coins!

The wealth system does not have any hard per character caps (beyond the only marginally flexible slot based inventory system), and there is nothing to stop a party spending in this asymmetrical manner, and they probably will, some character builds will be more item reliant and intensive, and some players will be more demanding.

All the same wealth is expected to transition through – Not enough gear to fill your slots -> Enough gear to fill your slots -> Enough gear to fill your slots with almost exactly what you might want -> Bottomless pits of gear at your base that can fill all your slots any time. Well, that's the LT model, then you start having a bit of a similar deal going on with MT gear becoming available to replace a few LT slots and repeat etc...

But anyway the “not enough gear to fill all your slots” portion of play is where we are and where this will be most observably unbalanced. There are plenty of gear options available and even a nudist unarmed combat character actually has plenty of things to put in hands and pockets and such for various benefits once it becomes possible to fill all their equipment slots more easily.

The Sample Party
Back again they are...

Lizard Girl
(Named) Lizard Girl Animal Flesh Soft
NDEF 14= 5 + Fast 3+Cowardly 1+Evasive 4+Pretty 1
SDEF 12/17=10+Cowardly 1+Pretty 1+5 Alert
Max E = 5
Max Inj = 3
Energetic Fast 3 to NDef. +2 Max Energy. 1E to add Fast to any non-slow action. If you regain at least 1E in Resources regain +1 E.
Cowardly Cowardly 1 to NDef and SDef and Cowardly to all actions. Scary attacks against you gain Devastating +1

People Traits -
NA Chameleon Skin Make pretty colours and patterns!
NA Shedding Skin You shed your skin like a snake from time to time.
NA Night Eyes You can see well in the dark in a purely non-mechanical manner.
NA Big Lungs You have fantastic lungs. May need special fitting of restrictive chest clothing, no cost.
NA Flexible Tongue You have a freakishly long and dexterous tongue It might even be forked like a snake's.
NA Gecko Pads +3 to Climb checks.
NA Bonus Tail tail in addition to normal limbs. SELECTED +3 to Climb checks
NA Claws Claws, you have them. +3 Climb bonus

Unlocked Skill Sets – No Clothes, Assassination
Skills (3 Points)
0 Clawed Hands Hand slots (or handless arms) count as equipped attack with Unarmed Body Claw Weak +2 vs Flesh and if BOTH (or a pair) are not using other weapons they count as ONE available attack which adds Multi-Attack x2. Also claws are unused 1E for off hand attack with them.
0 Unarmed Skill +3 vs All to Unarmed attacks
0 Naked Defence When naked or Skimpy gain Evasive 4 to NDef
1 Naked Evasion Block If naked or skimpy 1E per 1 Block against Slow, block uses Evasive Weak and body keywords AND
expend “nudity” as clothing item for Torn Shirt. This is a special injury which prevents counting as naked or Skimpy
1 Chameleon Camouflage +4 vs Non-Blind and Chameleon on Hide and Sneak actions, and even on Disguise actions to mimic the appearance of skin tight clothing or worn items. But only if all clothing and big items they have equipped, are Camouflage, Transparent or Chameleon. Does not stack with other camouflage or transparency effects.
1 Sneak Off 1E Ignore Alert on observers on Hide or Sneak

Items
Main Clothing – Shameless Nudity Partial Skimpy Disposable As sole top layer clothing Pretty +1 to NDef SDef. Worn in Underwear OR paints and oils layer (but not both).

Pocket 1 – 1c Glass Stilleto Weapon Metal Hard Ceramic Transparent Sword Dagger Small Light Weak +2 vs Armour may add Thrown for ShortRange
Pocket 2 – 1c Glass Stilleto Weapon Metal Hard Ceramic Transparent Sword Dagger Small Light Weak +2 vs Armour may add Thrown for ShortRange

Pocket 4 – 1c Glass Stilleto Weapon Metal Hard Ceramic Transparent Sword Dagger Small Light Weak +2 vs Armour may add Thrown for ShortRange
Feet - 0c Bare Feet Not An Item, Caltrops get bonuses, +1 vs Non-Deaf on Hide and Sneak actions.

Notes - Lizard girl now has a basic large hide bonus and improved in combat hide ability. She can mess things up with some claws for assassinations, which can have multi-attack x2 for super effectiveness. She ran with No Clothes because it's going to interact well with Chameleon Camouflage and later shedding skin stuff. She picked up Shameless Nudity as her new (kinda abstract) clothing because, as basically nothing, it won't interfere with her Chameleon Camouflage at all. (really needs Transparent added to its keyword list, bit of a typo there). She has somewhere picked up somewhere a whole bunch of Transparent Glass (Glass shows up in the cultural materials) Stilleto knives that she has filled her pockets with. She still prefers claws, but she can throw the knives if she wants for some limited short range.
Mr Smash
(Named) Human Animal Flesh Soft

Notes - Mr Smash Has added a tiny skill from Plated Armour, found a nice plate armour item, gotten himself a TK battery he needs to power his new TK skills, which are improved by his existing wand and some sort of pocket amulet of TK levitation enhancement. He is now also super good at smashing down walls, doors and other furniture, able to deal pretty large amounts of damage to them if he wants to.


Betty Blades
(Named) Six Armed Elf Animal Flesh Soft
NDEF 15= 5 + Fast 4 +Evasive 4+ Armour 2+Weak
SDEF 10/15=10+5 Alert

Pocket 1A - 2c Small Shield Weapon Metal Hard Light Shield
Pocket 1B - 2c Small Shield Weapon Metal Hard Light Shield
Pocket 2 - 4c Bladerrang Weapon Metal Hard Boomerang +2 vs Body May be Thrown to add Long-Range

Notes - Betty Is starting to get her extra arms off the ground. They don't actually give her extra attacks, but they do make it easier for her to have a selection of available attacks without dropping or sheathing weapons, and she CAN blow most of her energy to attack with all of them, though its fairly sub-optimal. What is more optimal is she can weapon block for, well, a lot of blocks. She isn't sure whether to branch out into shield use or light weapons next. Both would be good. Her high defence and large number of blocks should make rushing into melee combat significantly better for her, since that was problematic in the first sample encounter. Oh and I changed her Bad Trait to Fragile because it will fit her build a little better (she has lots of limbs to sacrifice for blocks if she needs to)


Mr Lies
(Named) Elflette Animal Flesh Soft Small
NDEF 12 (13 after cloak)= 5 + Tricky 3 +Small 2+Weak+Obfuscating 2 (3 after cloak)
SDEF 13/18=10+Tricky 3+5 Alert

Small sized weapons one handed, normal sized 2 handed, cannot use big. Wears small sized clothing and armour.

Unlocked Skill Sets – Trickery, Robes
Skills (0 Points)

Cloak - 3c Big Cloak Cloak Cloth Soft Heavy Top layer defence. May disarm when expended or any time, including on hit as a parry effect (if the defence change would cause a miss). +3 bonus to attempts to conceal or disguise (as suspicious cloaked stranger) beneath the cloak.
Pocket 1 – 1c (for stack of 3) Emergency Aid Potion Ceramic Hard Weak Fragile Disposable
Use up to any number from a hands or from pockets (through empty hands) to heal the long term, but NOT short term effects of any special injury dealt within up to 3 turns per expended Emergency Aid potion. Or to similarly extend the age of healable injuries by any other healing action used.

Notes - Mr Lies continues to refuse to buy real weapons and armour. He has picked up some elaborate clothing and not much else, but he has gained, at the cost of most of his starting profile, just some of the skills required to make lying in combat moderately less punishing. Overwhelming Lies is probably among the best of these available to any social set. What with its ongoing ignoring of alert to to targets he socially injures.. Since he had crap all else Mr Lies also got a bunch of Emergency Aid potions since those might be handy to have
