8 moth before lastest edition of gamma world.... and somewhat around 32 years after release of first gamma world game 

Very true.

ashy, я несколько удивлён вашим воодушевлением, учитывая, что никто, вроде как, ещё не успел попробовать игру "в действии".
Меня тоже заинтересовала механика, но найти время хотя бы на вдумчивое чтение правил смогу не скоро. Но очень хочется попробовать.

P.S. Надеюсь Google справится с переводом. Я тоже плохо излагаю мысли на английском.
P.P.S. Арт напоминает Gamma World. А ещё и эти мутации...

Well, honestly, I would be enthusiastic about this game if *I* was the only one playing it. You cannot imagine the amount of time, energy and $$ that we've put into this "little-idea-gone-mad", so I am very excited to talk about it - to pretty much anyone. I certainly hope you check it out - we want folks to look it over and give it a try - that's one of the reasons why ALL the rules and ALL the setting information is for FREE online. 

P.S. So far, Google translate is working pretty well, thanks!
P.P.S. Thanks, but I have to say that we had released Untold nearly 8 months before Gamma World came out.  We did release Flux Mutations as a way to show that Untold is so flexible that even "card draw" type mechanics can be introduced into the game without breaking it AND to give players the option of playing Untold with a "Gamma World" type flair.

Just printed out first character deck and some banes and minions... So my first impressoins:


- Cards looks decent even if printed in monochrome, which is good, and cleverly placed on a page which is awesome
- Its actually really handy to keep your character as a deck of cards
- Game mechanics feels pretty fast and obvious, but before a playtest this is only speculation...
- Nice damage sysem, resembling PDQ, but slightly more dramatic in action...
- Minor downfall - tracking damage to minions a little fiddlier than tracking damage to PCs....
- Can't wait for racial starters... (Moar, moar, moar kewl powerz and alternate race cards)

Very glad to hear it! I agree about Minions, but you get used to it after a while (most GM's kinda do that sort of thing anyway, truth be told...)

When you say racial starters, I'm assuming you mean in pdf, correct?

Thanks, ashy, as soon as get my capricious players  to try it out, I'll make a review on my blog.

UPDATE: I take it this product is enough for a basic demo adventure?

Cool! Do you have a link to said blog?

Yes, but bear in mind what we wrote on the product page:
This product contains the adventure (pdf) and all the Race, Aspect, Power, and Minion cards that the GM will need to run the adventure. However, a GM may want to have a set of Bane cards on hand - just in case bad things happen. Also. players will need to have characters either from the Starter Set, or ones you build from your own decks.

If you're ok with that, then you're good to go!

Whether there will be a translation or not depends on fans who would want to make it popular.
It'd be better if game would be in English, but sold in Moscow. Just in Moscow, not ordering from England. I'd regularly buy it then. Ordering frightens away many players.
lender, you can't be serious. It's sold only in two shops in USA so far.
He, I understand. But if they arrange a deal with Мир Хобби (World of Hobbies shop)...

Ah, gotcha - thanks! Yes, we only have two retailers at the moment, because we only do direct-to-retail sales. We want to try and help the dying FLGS as much as we can, so we're going around the distributor. Sadly, this cuts us out of many stores, as they have exclusive deals with folks like Alliance and Diamond here in the U.S.

Regarding ordering, it would not be from England. You would place the order from us and we ship from New York.

I will try and arrange deals with whomever I can, provided I don't have to do anything illegal or immoral. Just post a link...

Thanks for the translations, vsh!

lender, ну ты хватил. Она и в США пока только в двух магазинах продаётся

Sorry, Google Translate (GT) is not helping much here either...

Ну так можно и на русском писать, либо vsh переведет (надеюсь =)), либо через гугл переводчик. Насчет перевода - ну это уже будет любительский... Вот лучше бы игра хотя бы на аглийском, но продавалась в Москве. Именно в Москве, а не заказывая из Англии. Я бы тогда регулярно все покупал. А заказывание отпугивает многих новых игроков.

Sorry - not getting much here either; something about ordering from Moscow and not England? And then: "I would then buy all regularly. And ordering deters many new players."

Sorry - I don't understand the question/comment/issue, but if someone can translate, I'm more than happy to help!

I'm talking about translating your messages into Russian; apparently, no one needs it so far.
Translating the game is a bad idea, unless you're ok with very little revenue. The market is tiny and everyone is used to pirate copies.

Good to know; on both fronts!

Надо переводить или все и так неплохо читают?

I'm not sure I follow. Are we talking about the translation of the cards themselves here, or my English replies? 

Good news. Do you have plan to do an android app also?

We do plan to have an android version at some point (I personally use android) but we'll have to see what the market response from the iphone/ipad users (which are the market leaders, of course)...

Indeed it was me and i have learnt about Untold from new releases of Drivethrurpg, which i try to monitor.

Awesome! Thanks so much! I sincerely appreciate it!

Thank YOU for the interest, Minder! (I sent you a message on Twitter, BTW)...

Actually, we do - the cards that we've release are very generic and they can be used in any setting, and on any character! For instance, take the Powers found in Apoc Amplifications (http://www.untoldthegame.com/store/powers-apoc-amplifications); while we "package" them as Power Cards for the Apoc (i.e. genetic super-soldiers), there are NO rules that say you MUST use them that way. So, if you want to build an old style, 2e Monk character using Untold cards, you can! If you'll notice - all those old familiar abilities are there: Ki Strike, Deflect Missiles, Evasive Guard, etc. All we've done is maybe give them a new name and give them some flavor text that matches our "default" Campaign Setting.

THAT is the beauty of Untold. You get cards and can play pretty much whatever you want! In fact, we have a thread on our forums where fans have submitted new campaigns that you can play with the cards we've already released - everything from Thundaar the Barbarian to Star Wars! All you need to do is ignore the art and the flavor text, but the rules work as written!

This, I think is the one thing that many people do not yet understand about Untold - it's not just another game, or another set of rules, or even another campaign setting - we are giving you the building blocks to play ANY game you can imagine. One of my co-creators and fellow Wandering Man, likens Untold to Legos - the cards are like the lego blocks - with them, you can build whatever you want. I may take them and build a boat (i.e. a pirate game, perhaps), while you may take them a build a robot (i.e. a steampunk game, maybe) - so it's all about what you want!

That said, we are releasing some cards that are more generically "fantasy" - like dwarves, elves, etc. There will be other "generic" packs released in the future as well that will allow you to play superheros, mecha, etc. etc... 

I hope this answers your question.

Given vsh's and Snarls-at-Flea's offers to use English, I will give it a try! 

First of all, yes, I am not only the publisher, but also one of the authors/creators of Untold. I will try and address each comment or question as I see them, but please bear with me; some of the messages are a little confusing due to Google's translation. If one of you who is fluent in both Russian and English would care to contact me and be willing to act as a translator, that would be excellent. I will try and make it worth your while. - ashy [at symbol] untoldthegame [dot symbol] com.

Snarls-at-Fleas: feel free to ask anything you need about the rules. If you understand English, we also have some videos up in our online Primer: http://www.untoldthegame.com/primer - I will do whatever I can to help you understand the game and the rules better.

Lender: it seems if you are asking if the world is limited to merely what is on the maps. The answer is no. We're expanding the world all the time and the map will change to match that expansion. Also, there are two additional worlds (Ai and the Great Machine) that we've not even begun to explore yet!   Also, our concept is like a living card game, but not the same. With Untold, we wanted to put the power back into the gamer's hands. There's nothing you HAVE to buy or collect. You only purchase what you WANT and need to play YOUR game - this is another reason why we list all the contents of the decks - we want you to know what you're buying.

I hope this helps. I'm not sure if there were other questions, but if so - please restate them and I will be happy to answer! Thanks again for this; I'm really enjoying talking with you all!
