Treasure RPG Feedback

Feedback

We have received a lot of feedback during playtesting. Some concerned testing the rules but there was also plenty said about playing the game and trying out graphic roleplaying:

"Laughed when I got my first multiple bonus. Didn't laugh so much when a single blow nearly killed my character five minutes later."
"Treasure RPG by Thistle Games" - John Kim's Free RPGs on the Web
"An RPG using custom card mechanics that can be played as a traditional tabletop RPG, but can also be played as a boardgame or an inexpensive Collectible Card Game. Action resolution is by rolling 2d6 plus stat or level aka "Stars," where 9+ is a success. The game uses many visual icons to indicate options. Character creation is limited point-based, using icons for "Gems and Jewels." ~150 pages (HTML)."
"It takes forever to roll-up a character in other games. I made a new adventurer in five minutes flat and decided to turn her into a design. Still finished quicker than usual."
"Treasure" - RPG Library
Treasure RPG is a complete, free fantasy RPG system released under a Creative Commons license. Some players have described it as an 'Advanced d20' but play is quicker and more edgy than that. The style of play favours stealth and skill. Treasure is also a graphic or visual RPG, where players and encounters can be translated from text into icons and symbols. The game comes with 500+ free fantasy images to help players try out graphic roleplaying.

"Printed the graphics on card that fits my printer. Used different colours for spells, rituals, etc . . . Took a couple of hours but they're GREAT!"
"Tried it at the top levels like you asked. It's hard. Can't defeat the Ravenswings - they're just fast."
"You should definitely put the Quick Start Kit in the release. I grabbed a few figures that were lying around, put half-a-dozen tablemats on the floor and was playing in five minutes."
"J sent me a copy of Treasure. Hope you don't mind. Read it through and I'd like to play it with my group. Are you OK with that?"
"Rolled a bonus with a Meteor. Killed two orcs instantly. There are seven orcs and five monsters now closing on our position."
"I've started running my own scenarios. Before play I took a ready-to-run layout for an Orc Stronghold and placed all the feature rooms, monsters and orcs from the tables where I wanted them. Left me free to concentrate on developing the plot and running the game."
"I thought - we're not going to make it."
"Had fun with an Ancient Vampire. Until it killed me with my own stake."
