SIMPLE Roleplaying 
Thanks guys for putting so much hard work into developing this excellent streamlined rpg system.
This will be great introduction to rpg’s for new people at my club.
🙂 Great! Hope you folks have many hours of fun with the game!
Hi !
Your game is very simple but great. I have some questions about it :
1) I m French so if I know blunt (punch and club), sharp and bang is not easy to classified. The first is sword and knife and the second is firearm ?
2) how work “Perfect beauty” ? It say +1 to look. But there is no look skill. In the same way how can be defined a natural beauty without augmentations ?
Hi !
Your game is very simple but smell great. I have some question about it :
1) I’m French and if I know that “Blunt” mean punch and club, what are “sharp” and “bang”. The first is sword and knife and the second is firearms ?
2) How is working “Perfect beauty” The game say “you look gorgeous – this may add a +1 bonus”. But +1 for what ?
3) In the same way how can be defined a natural beauty without augmentation ?
Hi Micka!
Please look for the beauty issue in the [digital_shades] comment section. I just gave a relply there.
About the health meter:
Blunt = Fists, clubs, chains
Sharp = Blades, knifes, swords, arrows, axes, power tools
Bang = Handheld Firearms
Explosives, like grenades, C4, rockets and missles kill instantly, but there is a chance for a near miss. Please check the [toys] section in the game document for it.
Let me know if there is anything else! 🙂
would it be ok to work on a translation into english of starblind , I have plenty of time to do so , and would only translate with full approval from the auther?
Hi James
I don’t think that Sven would have anything against it (on the contrary). However, it might be best to ask him via “starblind[at]posteo.de”, just to make sure that someone else isn’t working on it right now and there would be double work.
Hello James!
I’m Sven, the author of starblind. I would really love it to have a translation. Currently I’m working on a new version of starblind, hope, it will be ready within a week or two. So, if you send me your mail adress to starblind[at]posteo.de, I can send you a text file of the new version to translate.
I’m also working on two additional flyers for Starblind. More and detailed rules for traveling and fighting with space ships. And another one with rules for designing your own space ships. Would you like to translate these too?
Is this additional stuff ready by now? I really would use the system for a setting of mine, but there will be a big focus on the ship of the group, so this would be perfect and I dont have to invent own rules for it. (Gerne auch in deutsch, ist eh meine Muttersprache, aber mit englisch habe ich auch keine Probleme.. *g*)
Hi, MM! As far as I know, it’s not ready yet. (I may be wrong.) I believe there is some sort of prototype. I’ll speak to Sven, he must have missed your posting.
Hello MM!
Im very sorry, but I am still working on a new version of the basic rules and the additional stuff too. I hope I will finish everything before the end of this year.
A quick typo I thought I’d bring to your attention on the ds_en version: “Compentences” and “Competencens” should be “Competencies.”
Hi Thomas, thank you very much for the info! 🙂 I’ll see that we have a correction.
It took a while, but it is corrected now. Also, we have a new SIMPLE inspired RPG online. It’s called OSRIK.micro by Matthias Paßmann and available in German language only. (“OSRIK.micro” has nothing to do with the “OSRIC” RPG.)
I wanted to ask about the licenses of this system, because I want to do some own stuff based on that.. Could you tell me more or point me to some information?
Hi Markus! Sure you can do own stuff with the system. It’s under creative commons license (CC BY-NC-SA). Look here for info: https://simpleroleplaying.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/new-translation-inbound-creative-commons-license/
If you have further questions, I’m happy to reply. 🙂
