Did anyone ever do up or offer a PDF or print-and-play version of the Torchbearer player deck? Because $90 to equip everyone is uh…dang.
I scoured the interwebs and found nothing. 🙁

I founded the Indie Game Reading Club in 2010. I've written and developed RPGs since the mid-90s, now I mostly talk about playing them.
I have a printer…. Just saying
Me too! But I can’t find files.
I thought I saw someone posted that they had the cards in the original post. How important are the cards? I can Chip in.
I have the conflict cards scanned but none of the inventory stuff.
I’ll send you mine if you pay shipping. When do you need them?
If Paul is down with that I’ll pony up Jesse thanks for the offer
That’d leave us still needing four decks. 🙁 Jonathan Perrine has one.
It seems like an awful lot of effort for a 3-5 shot.
You don’t need the decks to play anymore than you need them in Mouse Guard. They are helpful though. Two decks are probably sufficient.
But but but your book said errryone should have one. Were you upselling me? I feel like I was upsold.
We ran it in playtest just fine w/o. I don’t actually recall what is in those decks or what they do. Is it just all the stuff you might carry plus supplies?
• A 12-card action deck
• 8 condition cards
• 4 armor cards
• 4 light cards
• 17 weapon cards
Oho, action cards. For the script grid?
The conflict cards are the main selling point for me. as fun as the conflict sheets from BW are the cards in TB/MG are more fluid and fun for play.
Yeah, so you can flip yours and go, “BAM! Feint! Suck it, Defend!”
Per the rules, you really just need two complete sets of actions, yeah? Because nobody can repeat an action?
I’m getting back up to speed fast but it’s been years since we played.
You can repeat actions. You can’t have one player take actions back-to-back unless they’re the only player left in the conflict.
I’ve ran a few one-shots with just 2 decks and it’s worked out fine. There was usually a little overlap in equipment and I just had people share them as visual aids. Worked out just fine.
Geeze

Uhh, I have 6 decks. I can send them… Just let me know when you need them by…
WHAT THE BLAZES
Yes ASAP. AAAAAASAP. We’re starting next Tuesday.

AND THANK YOU JESSE)
Paul Beakley No problem. I just have to find them and dig them out of my game pile. (I kinda prefer playing without the cards, to be honest: they distracted me a bit too much, but that’s a whole post…)
Oh that’s interesting. I’m wondering if that will be true here as well.
I printed my own conflict cards that someone had made. They work just as well as the official ones.
Oh hey, I should probably publish my light trackers at some point.
I’m pretty sure there are one or two of these at the game stores here in PHX too.
Jonathan Perrine we got the hookup! All is well.
