Absurdia 1.0 Available Now!

Today's the day Absurdians - the 1.0 version of Absurdia is now available!

Thank you for all your support throughout this process. The v0.9 version of Absurdia was a fever dream that came together surprisingly quickly. As a first time game designer, I (naively) thought the final polish would be relatively straightforward. Obviously that was not the case! It's been a good learning experience for me though, and I'm grateful to have been able to take the time to make something I'm proud of, and that I think you'll all enjoy.

A full changelog is attached for those who are curious, but the topline updates include:

• Full layout, graphic design, and new illustrations for the core rulebook, playbook sheets, and reference sheets.
• A significantly expanded the GM section that includes an extended example of play; examples of each threat type; guidance for running your first session; useful tips for running a one shot; advice on running and ending a long-term campaign; and recommendations on how you can customize the game to make it your own.
• A new GM reference sheet to provide a quick and easy resource for GMs.
• A new mechanic, “End of Disturbance Questions,” which provide new avenues for character growth and change.
• A host of minor changes and technical corrections to playbooks, basic and faction moves, and other mechanics to improve balance and clarity.

These updates represent a major expansion of the game as well as a significant investment of time and effort. In reflection of this, I've increased the price to $20. Anyone who purchased previously the game (thank you!!) will have access to the new files free of charge. I've also added 40 new community copies, available to anyone for whom the price would be a financial burden.

While I worked closely with my editor and graphic designer, some lingering typos are almost a certainty. If you spot something amiss, shoot me an email at qmajeski@gmail.com - we'll do our best to get them fixed promptly!

Thank you again for you support. Enjoy the absurdity!
