I love this game. If you are one the fence, go get the free rules and if those peak your interest then get the first issue. It is worth it for the lore and extras. I got the physical copies of issue 1 & 2 and have been having a blast with my buddies on discord. The magic system isn't Vancian and to me that is a breath of fresh air. I can't recommend this game enough.

hands down the best thing i have purchased (vol 01 and vol02) in the last decade. We are playing and enjoying with my "historical" group and we cant wait to have more !!! when an issue 03 ? i hope, really hope it will be SOON !!! (tommy, italy)

Emiel kindly sent a copy of this issue and it's one the most beautiful indie rpgs zines i've seen. Beautiful art, an excellent and very elegant black and white design and layout throughout, and a setting brimming with excellent lore ideas wrapped up in a ready to play set rules. Get this one if you can!

I love the lore in this and the mechanics feel new enough for me. The spellcastimg system is really fun too. I've made characters but haven't played yet but will do so once I get the physical zines. 

Thanks Emiel , I look forward to the rest. :) 

Greetings, Is this a solo-playable rpg? or with a group?

This is lovely, though I do have two questions, one is gameplay related the other to the listed inspirations.

The first is how much leeway do advantages/levelling up give you after you made your character, because the stats are very unforgiving for a d10 system (since you can accidentally end up with a character who has like 1 point in each stat)

The second would be though it's not listed the game oozes the same vibes Caves of Qud has, did anyone on the team play it? Might just be the Morrowind insiprations. Lovely game though great work!

I love Morrowind. I love the artstyle. I love that you can download the rules for free. 

This is a great zine and a great, unique world you've created!

I'm looking forward to preordering the second print run in the new year, when my finances bounce back :D 

Quick question, sorry if this is somewhere and i just missed it. It's about backstab and tripling damage on update 1.3. When do you count Armor into the damage?  during backstab is it armor first then triple, or triple then armor?

For example a fixer rolls for backstab damage and gets 3, enemy armor is two. Do you triple then for 9 and count the two armor making it 7? Or are you meant to run it as the two armor lowering the three to one and tripling it to 3 damage?

Hello! Thank you for a such great game :) Do you have in plans to create some kind of solo rules? 

Hello Emiel :) great stuff. Ranged weapons say you can attack an adjucent zone, does that mean that ranged weapons cant be used in melee?

For those of us that funded the original printing, where do we get the updated pdf files from? I can't seem to figure out where that download came from.

Man, what a wonderful zine. It reminds me so much of Mœbius, both the art and setting/story. 

Definitely anxious to play but just reading through the zine itself is definitely worth the price!

I'm absolutely in love with this game. It's probably the best rpg zine I've ever encountered. Can't wait to see more.

Just backed the physical legacy option, can't wait to play :)

I’ve had this for a long while but had shamefully not given it the in-depth read it deserves. I’ve finally remedied that and gosh it’s just so dang good.

As soon as physical stock is back in at Exalted Funeral, I'll pick it up... I still cling to physical over virtual copies.

Just bought this zine in Subcultures- Netherlands!

Absolutely loving it!

Hey there, I added your zine to Goodreads a while back, and I've written a review there!

Any word on how to get a paper copy? Have been loving it so far with the pdf!

Have played two games of this and am absolutely loving it, got a community copy but will definitely be buying when I can. Seriously awesome, can't wait for more!  Setting is awesome, mechanics are simple and very quick to get things going. I LOVE the spell system, simple yet flexible and super interesting. Tons of encounters and generators. Just super solid all around.

This is so cool! I've read almost 50% of the zine now. This reminds of Caves of Qud and I really love it!

I grew up on Nausicaa, Moebius and Morrowind. I am looking forward to running this, I would have loved this when I was sixteen. Really lovely stuff!

I saw this on the OSRRPG Instagram page and was intrigued. Really glad I grabbed this. The mechanics are light, but a little more meaty than a lot of other light systems (which I am grateful for), the setting REALLY freakin' neat, and the art is perfect for what this zine brings to the table.

I really can't wait for Volume 2. I hope it has more than the Irr too. I am pretty stoked to learn about the Sunless Princedoms, but I'd also love some more worldbuilding and weird stuff. I put on my Electric Wizard playlist and dove deep into the zine. So glad I nabbed this!

Hello, how many players is this designed for? I can't see that info anywhere - sorry if I'm just blind :-) Can it be played/adapted for solo?

Is there a mailing list or some other way to be notified when the physical version goes on sale?

I absolutely love the style of this, it's gorgeous. I bought the digital and am following for news about the print version when available.

This is fantastic. I played a couple sessions on the discord during the playtest, and really enjoyed it. Now that I see art for the orb drones, they're even scarier than imagined haha.

This book looks great! I’m in love with the art.  I’m going to hold off for a physical copy in October. Can you tell us what storefront will carry it?

This is so incredibly well done. I’ve just skimmed it and already have a dozen ideas of things to incorporate into my own games. If you took everything that’s inspiring and mind-bending about science fantasy of the Moebius/Heavy Metal variety and distilled it down into one zine, you’d get The Electrum Archive.
