First Physical Printout of Hurled into Eternity Rules

EDIT: Since 2025 this has been superseded by the most current version of the rules.

This post explains why I have not updated the blog in a few weeks: the first true print out of the rules for Hurled into Eternity, at least in this format. Years ago (as in 15+) when the progenitor to these rules were in its d12 configuration and a traditional fantasy RPG called Quest, I printed sections of it, but never the entire rules themselves.

This is a prototype of the rules. I say prototype loosely here because I am not sure I am going to use this styling when it gets ready for a potential Kickstarter. None-the-less, I printed out two copies at the local Office Max as you can see in color for the covers and the interiors are double sided black and white. Total cost for printing out two copies was under $20 including the color covers.

It weighs in at 78 pages, double sided when printed with two more for the covers. All told the entire rule set in terms of page count is 154. Maybe these will be collectors items someday (hah!)

The main purpose of the print out is to help facilitate testing and get a physical copy to make it seem more real. After years of only looking at it in its electronic form it is good to finally see a physical manifestation of it. So far it has been very useful as I can reference as I work in the My Man Cave testing the rules. So far it has helped me tweak the rules for the Wild Card System, a bit for the better I hope.

Of course since printing stuff out I have noticed issues with it and changed the Wild Card System to flow better. I think I fixed the obvious problems regarding it. So far gun-fighting is looking very deadly with shotguns being perhaps too much. I would really like to hear about feedback on the combat sections with the revisions.
