Two thoughts. One of the goals in producing SBRPG 2.0 is to create a rules-light version that is fast, easy, and fun to play. We live in an iPad world nowadays, and there is no reason RPGs should read like a textbook. I have a mock-up for a page describing the character card that would be cool to share. The final version of the game will originate from this document, since it will be graphically compelling, visual, and look cool.
Speaking of that, I want to also product a SBRPG SRD - basically a text-only version of the rules that reads like a textbook. This should be the definitive rules-resource for the game, and be the DNA all SBRPG documents are created from, including the rules-light version. A SRD can be produced faster, since there is less layout and graphic design work. A SRD will also serve as the beta-test document for the game.
I also need to put together a beta-test agreement, or just put the "all rules feedback is property of us" type message in the preamble of this blog. We love our players, but this sort of thing is needed nowadays and protects everyone. In return, we will think of a way to give back to a number of our top contributors (when the beta ends), like a copy of the printed game or something nice like that. More on what we come up with later.
