I love this game so much. Below os a play report of my shortest but funniest game.
TAZ-22 was a bot who had outlived his purpose. Once, he served the infamous Ritzi Shafe—a brute TAZ-22 caught abusing his hoover. Something in the bot snapped that day. He killed his master on the spot and took up bounty hunting in his place.
Others said he had always been too thoughtful for circuitry. Still bound to the factory link, TAZ-22 was forced to witness the deaths of his siblings. The protocol was meant to teach, but instead it broke him down.
His latest contract was Silar Noon, a hacker who had steered a freighter into the sun and boasted of it online. The Trade Alliance wanted him erased.
TAZ-22 landed in a swamp near Hyokko Trading Post on Oleron, the last place Noon had been sighted, hoping for stealth. Instead, a speeder burst through the reeds—two masked riders firing as they circled. He cut one down with a single shot, but the other’s blaster tore into his chest, crippling him.
Without hesitation, the bot armed his self-destruct. Logic was absolute: if he died, so would they. The explosion turned the swamp into fire.
Far away, in a medical ward, TAZ-23 stopped his mop mid-stroke. Through the factory link, he witnessed the death of his sibling. He shook his head once, then returned to his work.
I really enjoy the Notorious story-scape. I'm curious if there would be any updates, post-Outsiders, to give the original Nomads the "character ability" that were introduced in the 2nd book? I find the ones in Outsiders delightful and don't feel like I could do it justice trying to homebrew it. But the original crew feels a little unloved now in retrospect haha.
Hi. I was wondering, is there gonna be any community copies for this game in the near future? Really love to play this next, but in my currency, the price is quite expensive for PDF. Thank you in advance.
Just curious if there’s any community copies of your cool game available? I’m a disabled pensioner with PTSD, chronic anxiety and depression and these new community games available by generous creators like you make a huge difference to my daily life.
Having new games to play regularly helps me have a bit better quality of life and makes such a huge difference to me. I really appreciate game creators like you who do generously offer these community copies to people going through a hard time. It really helps out.
I know some people think anyone requesting community copies regularly are just abusing this system and don’t need them.
I can’t afford much but do buy bundles when I can afford them and have supported:
hi, i experience problems with the fillable pdf of the character sheet. looks like the text is too big for fields or something and only upper half of words are visible. i checked it on preview and Skim app for mac, and fields for planet environment are almost unreadable, while with all the others it's possible to read yet not very cool. if I open the file in chrome, it's a bit better, profile fields are showing properly but all the others still not. i attach the image there, hopefully this is something that can be fixed. otherwise such a great game, thank you!
Hey there, awesome game! I got my physical copies of Notorious and Outsiders earlier this week, and I am happy I did. The game is great and the art is stylish.
Like another buyer a few months ago, though, I also did not get digital copy codes. Hoping I could get those too.
I don't seem to be getting them, unfortunately. If you have received the two emails I sent you, I can send you a different email that would hopefully work. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble!
not a big deal but the form fillable character sheet has a character called keef girgo partially typed in (also there's smth up with the smaller text boxes.) again not a big deal but thought you might want to know.
This is a really cool game. I just got started on my first game and have a few nitpicks. It should be obvious but for me the definition for the Nomad and Challenge dice should be under its own heading in reactions. It does mention under playing material you need 2 six-sided dice but repeating it here would be nice just for a clear definition. It would be helpful to have all the symbols in use in the pdf defined in Terms; STAR and HEART symbols are used throughout the pdf without explicit definitions.
Hello! I bought a physical copy a few days ago and still have yet to receive my digital copy code. Just wondering what I need to do to acquire this while I wait for my physical! Thanks!
Hey, if you provided an email address it should have been sent out to you already (to the email address you provided in Shopify). If it hasn’t come through please email me at alwayscheckers at gmail dot com and I’ll get you a code asap. Cheers.
Just played my first game - loved it! One question - what happens if the Target defeats my Nomad, instead of the other way round? Do I still move to the Epilogue?
I would suggest moving to the epilogue and calculating your score as if you let the target get away! But you could treat it as a regular defeat, go back to the game loop and meet them again if you prefer :)

Hahaha this is perfect! 😆
¿Habrá más copias para la comunidad?
Any community copies dropping by chance?

I’ve actually had the same thought myself! It’s definitely something I’ll do if I ever release an updated version of Notorious or another expansion :)

Hi! I just bought the game in physical form but I don't know how to download the character sheet
normally the stores can provide the digital files, but if you email me at alwayscheckers at gmail dot com I can get you a code! 😄

Hmm, I’ll try and look into it this week! I haven’t heard about this problem before and the file hasn’t changed recently or anything...
If it helps, someone put together a Google doc version of the character sheet you could use in the meantime.
thanks!
Would there be any possibility of adding more community copies? It would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you're getting my emails, might want to check your junk folder :)
I don't seem to be getting them, unfortunately. If you have received the two emails I sent you, I can send you a different email that would hopefully work. Thank you, and sorry for the trouble!
Yep, I actually sent your codes after your Shopify order and then again when you emailed so something isn’t working :)

Hi,
I bought a secondhand hardcopy and was looking for downloadable characters sheets - they don't seem to be available outside of purchasing a PDF copy?
Hey, feel free to email me at alwayscheckers at gmail dot com and I’ll get you a code for the digital files.

Good advice! Thank you for that and for the game!
