Notorious

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.

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! 

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?

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?

Middle school teacher here. WIll there be an option for a community copy soon? Thanks!

Hello! I backed Notorious on Kickstarter way back when and am looking for more character sheets but can't seem to find the file. Any way to get a PDF? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Jason! Another hard copy owner of Outsiders & Notorious here who’s looking for a way to print the character sheet.

Scouring my emails, I don’t see a BackerKit email with any links. Is there a way to get access to the character sheet file, please?

Thank you!

how many pages is this if I printed it?

Hi, Jason! This is a bit of a long shot given the timing, but I'm running a solo RPG event this weekend for the public library I work at. It's Star Wars themed (given the date will be May the 4th), and Notorious would be perfect for it!

Is there any chance you could add more community copies (or I could link up via email for a PDF) before then? No worries if not, just figured I'd check here! I sent an email earlier this week too, but I'm not sure if I did it correctly so I have no idea if it went through 😅

Thanks!

Hey Jason! I sent you an email a couple of days ago, and wanted to drop by to say that the physical copies (both Notorious and Outsiders) just arrived in MN, USA! We're about to leave town and they came at the perfect time! They're absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to dive in!

Is there a bundle available that includes both Notorious and Outsiders?

Same question for physical copies.

Bought it a couple days ago and having great time with it. Definitely going to buy the expansion once I have my time with original (I just like leaving such stuff for later).

I wonder, however: the game looks highly customizable and has lots of space to grow. Do people make homebrew profiles/tables for it?

Is there somewhere to download the player sheet that doesn't involve buying the PDF? I bought a hardcopy from my local game shop yesterday but the written text seems to assume you have full access to the digital files.

Rules Question:

Page 52. For roll number 6 on the Exploration table it doesn’t say roll on the Exploration Events table like the other options. Do I do that or do I go straight to Destination rolls? I am thinking Destination since it doesn’t specifically say. Thanks

I would like the phyiscal book but I see it is sold out. When will you be selling it again? 

Hello! I had a few game mechanics questions I was hoping someone could answer. Apologies if these questions are answered elsewhere:

1. Do points of Defence provided by a Nomad's armor recover after an Attack reaction, or are points lost permanently gone?

2. Do hostiles ever add any modifiers to their challenge die during a Threaten reaction?

3. Do you need to Threaten each hostile individually if they are in a group?

4. Is there a maximum amount of Favour, Notoriety and Motivation a Nomad can acquire?

5. If you lose the Showdown and flee from the Target, is that a total failure for that Hunt/game, or do you start the Exploration/Destination loop again?

Thank you for any help that can be provided. Looking forward to Outsiders!

Will physical copies of Notorious be available for purchase again? I have the pdf but I need to have a physical copy of this beautiful game and artwork in my life!

Hi just picked up the late backer physical copy + pdf for notorious and outsiders Any word on when the pdf's will be sent?

Are there by any chance community copies left to snag? I want to play more but money is tight :⁠-⁠\

I've been playing through a story on my channel and really enjoying it. After a couple of deaths I think I've found my Nomad. Awesome game thank you heaps. Looking forward to Outsiders.

I recently picked up a bunch of solo RPGs, one of which was NOTORIOUS, based on its numerous accolades. I just finished my first playthrough, which I did on Story mode, and it was just an incredible experience. I was surprised at how easily this rich story emerged around my Nomad, what they were really after, this miserable world they were stuck on pursuing their Target, and the surprising truth around their Target's backstory.

The whole thing ended with this really epic Showdown that went down to the final roll, and it actually had me holding my breath as I threw the last dice of this thing. It ended in a way that sets me up beautifully for a continuing story, but I've grown so attached to my Nomad that I would be heartbroken if they didn't survive their next contract, so who knows if I'll find the courage to continue their story?

I am delighted to hear that there is a reprint and expansion in the works; I will most definitely back them on Kickstarter. Jason, you and your colleagues on this have produced something truly wonderful here, and I will be sharing this game far and wide. In the meantime, I'm off to pick up BUCKET OF BOLTS so I can have a great backstory for my Nomad's ship...

Hi there,

I started to translate this game into Hungarian and it looks like I found a small typo in it. On page 55 (EXPLORATION EVENTS 5-6 table) at the result of 6, the subsequent results are wrong. 1-2 and 4-6 are there, so if the result is 3, it doesn’t match any of them. Can you check it, please?

OFC, maybe my version of PDF is outdated as I downloaded it a few month ago. If that’s the case, where can I download the updated version?

Thanks. :)

First arcade run's story rolled so well its now a prologue to my Story Mode character. Was curious about fan made supplements (non monetized or anything like that), as i had a few rogue ideas about rolling doubles during exploration or destination.

Absolutely amazing work on this game my friend. Been doing solo gaming for a few years now and never before has a system really sunk its teeth into me like Notorious. Thank you so much for this incredible system.

How much to post a hardcopy to UK, thanks?

Average play time: 1-2 hours

Well, call me spiders Georg.

I'm writing this review immediately after finishing the game for the first time, and I have clocked over 23K words throughout the better part of a week. As you can tell, I enjoyed this game.

My favourite part probably has to be the four reactions you can take when you meet people: it is a very intuitive system and progresses the game forward in a very natural way. I feel similarly about the motivation/notoriety/favour mechanic. Overall, a very robust system.

The different planets and people's characteristics offer not only a possibility of replayability but also a nice background to optionally add if you want to develop your character's environment and backstory further. I would have loved to have more information about the system's backstory -- the previous wars, fought and won, or the standing of different planets in the intergalactic conflict -- but perhaps less is more, and it should be left for the player to fill in the blanks.

The exploration/destination cycle makes use of those locations and gives you backdrops in which to drop your nomad, though in the more narrative style of play I enjoyed it could sometimes conflict which what seemed like the course of the story: I had to use a great number of fade-ins and time-skips, though I do not believe it detracted from my enjoyment. This disconnection was exacerbated in the use of showdowns (especial location/moods for important characters), but framing it as a movie in my head made it easier to understand how to fit them in the story. Also, I got the same description event four times in my run, but that might've just been my luck.

Anyway, these important characters have special interactions and descriptions that befit their position. I loved those! And the epilogue gives you a branch to which to continue your character's story, both narrative and mechanically, which is appreciated and actually makes me want to give good ol' Kiria another run.

Thanks for the game!

Just played notorious for the first time and i am amazed about how smooth the story unfolds in an amazing adventure! Highly recommended

First ever solo TTRPG I've played (and first TTRPG other than D&D) and I've grown obsessed with it. I play it all the time. It's easy to understand and so much fun to play. On my second contract currently and I'm obsessed with the characters and story I've created through this game. Definitely recommend to anyone interested in TTRPGs. The worldbuilding is incredible too. Everything about this game is just *chef's kiss*.

Do you have plan for physical copy reprint?

Greetings! I just discovered this game this morning, immediately bought the PDF from DriveThruRPG, had it printed and spiral-bound at OfficeMax, and have spent almost the entire day playing it. Very elegant design that was so easy to learn and had just the right blend of structure/prompting and “user input.” Very fun.

I think the system as written is HIGHLY conducive to other genres with minimal changes. I’m thinking American westerns, detective stories (19th and 20th century), James Bond-esque spy thrillers… stuff like that.

Any chance we’ll get any variants like that down the line?

Had a tremendous amount of fun playing Notorious, helped me recapture those days as a kid playing pretend. I wrote up a review on my site, I hope more people discover this great game.
