I have the limited edition set released in my country. The game mechanics are a bit rusty in some places (firearm rules!!!), but the CoC starter is amazing, you can run multiple sessions with that small thing.

Some hope below.
Still, I'll wait till people test this.

I'll sit on my 2.0 Affinity till people test this, especially the "AI" part and what it does - that rubs me the wrong way. If it somehow copies/learns everything I do and uploads it somewhere to train a machine - hard pass.

Trust me fellow human citizen. As a fellow (rich) human myself, I know how those "video games" look like. This is exactly what you want.

That sucks. Its a very fun system, but not for everyone. Players need to love to tinker with character builds and create the world with the GM. It works best with long games.
We had a whole post-apo tech fantasy campaign and we killed God at the end.

Yes, the characters do not grow stronger, like in D&D. At least not as much. Characters in the endgame aren't much stronger than during session 1 imho, they mostly have more options.
HOWEVER, this is also a good thing, because you can drop a big troll encounter on session 1, and its still balanced.

Yeah it's a neat fantasy game. Probably the best entry-level ttrpg, due to the amazing Box Set.
I wouldn't mind having some advanced rules tho - more character advanvement options etc.

Thanks for the shares.
Whitesmoke is an OSR game based on the Whitebox rules. Its a ttrpg to run fantasy worlds, which entered the industrial revolution. Simple rules + a lot of optional stuff to play with + a lot of random tables.
