[damned]

Kids on Bikes
This a basic ruleset for the Narrative RPG Kids on Bikes which can be found here: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/3439/Hunters-Entertainment/subcategory/30457/Kids-On-Bikes for about $10. You will need the Full Rules or at least the Free RPG Day rules primer. Its a pretty simple system but it is a lot of fun to play with the right group.

Copy the PAK file to your /rulesets folder and then create a new campaign and select DBRKoB as the ruleset.

[Baron Idolatre]

At first thanks to you for your time. I Check For Updates but the problem is still here for now

[damned]

Does your chat show Version 1.07 20220123 when you load up the campaign?

[Baron Idolatre]

I just have the info for this in the chat :

Core RPG ruleset (v2022-01-04) for Fantasy Grounds
Copyright 2022 Smiteworks USA, LLC

[damned]

Do you have a copy of the ruleset in your \rulesets folder? Delete it.

[Baron Idolatre]

ok it's done. What can i do next ?

[damned]

Launch your campaign and check chat for Version 1.07 20220123
If that is present retest your characters.

[Baron Idolatre]

I try but the campaign doesn't load whitout the ruleset in the folder. And the Version 1.07 20220123 never shows up in the chat. I don't know where to find that. I just always have the same message : Core RPG ruleset (v2022-01-04)

[damned]

Please use the version from the Forge.

Hey damned, love you work as always I know you work so hard, and have probally passed on the project now for a while. After playing the kids on bikes, as kids on broomsticks I came upon some "issues"?
The character sheet isn't adjustable, like to drag the window "to the right" to expand the "notes" area for story to be written in, "totally not needed" because as a player you could just use the actual FG notes drop down, and just link from there to notes.

The "backpack area" doesn't accept FG Items. I created items for the wand cores and woods and broomsticks, to make it easier, but can only drag/drop them to the notes not backpack.

Sometimes when rolling a check, you have the option of using a magic die. we can just "add" a d4 by rolling it, but a checkbox for "magic" would be nice to have the system calculate the magic die properly (with it's explode as well)

Last one. Using the modifier is easy peasy, I had a player who would forget to do it, On the stat area you can add +1 to any stat, which is nice for the ones you get for your age, having another box to add a number (more than 1), for magic, would be nice as well, so it only adds the bonus if you have also clicked the magic dice, representing wanting to use your wand/broom?

I know it's a lot but know it's only done out of respect and awe since you do so much awesome work!

[damned]

Hi Camberme

For notes you can create Notes and then drag them onto the character sheet giving you significantly more data collection. That is a Formatted Text field so you can link anything in there.

Yes the Backpack accepts Backpack items - just the layout is a bit different it made some sense to use a different data type. You should have Backpack in the side menu to allow you to create things in advance.

Please spell out more info on the Magic mechanic. I dont currently own Kids on Brooms.

[Camberme]

In addition to skills. There is "magic" which just uses the skill. Like attack magic is fight. Illusion magic is charm. But it adds a d4. The "magic die". And you have a wand. Which also adds an extra + to a Stat or 2. So we would need a way to add that in. I was suggesting like the current box to check for a +1. But one we can add more into for things like wand. Broom. Strength sometimes can get upwards of 5 or 6 depending.

I would happily pay well to see a full commercial release of this. Much respect for your hard work!

[damned]

I also have a half done Kids on Brooms.
I dont have time right now to chase Hunters Entertainment but would be interested in making commercial versions.
