New Yeld is here! Nick and I finished up the new Yeld play test document about a week ago. This new version of the rules takes into account the huge amount of feedback we’ve received over the last year, most especially from our friends up in Seattle.
Big changes to this edition include revisions to reward and adventure dice, an entire new focus on towns and friendly adventures, revised traps and updated monster stuff (and some sample monsters) and more focus on player roles and duties within the game. there are lots of more mundane changes and additions as well, including some new spells, weapons and special dice!
There are a few things we decided to hold out for now, either because we’re not sure if we plan to include them in the game or because we’re still working on them and want to save them for the next update. One of those things, set pieces, is something I’ll be posting about real soon.
Three ways to get Yeld!
Download for free! Download the new document in PDF form for free here!
Buy the PDF at RPGNOW! We’re also offering the PDF for sale at RPGNOW for $2.00. This is the exact same PDF that we’re giving away for free. Selling the PDF through RPGNOW exposes us to a wider audience. This also generates a little cash that helps pay Yeld related expenses. You can buy the PDF here.
Buy the Whitebook! The Whitebook is a 175 page 5.25 x 8 inch square bound book containing the full game text. Last year we had a lot of people ask if they could get print copies of the play test rules, and a few people went out of their way to make copies on their own. I know that personally I find it a lot easier to read a book then a PDF. Copies of the Whitebook (so called because the cover is all white with a simple black logo) are available at the Atarashi Games store for $13. The price includes shipping.
Play Yeld with Nick and Jake!
Nick and I are both running Yeld games at GameStorm this year. My Sunday game has already filled, but Nicks Saturday game still has room. Everyone who plays in eitehr of these games will receive one of the Yeld Whitebooks!

Hey, I ordered the ‘white book’ back when the anouncement went out. Any ETA?

yes. There was a miscommunication with the printer, and several of the books were sent to me instead of you and the otehr people I had asked them to be direct shipped to. They’re back in the ail now,and you should see yours shortly. Sorry for the delay!

I took some inspiration from Yeld for my own Newsies game, just in case you wanted to check and all that.
