Occam's Razor Official Rulebook

[Coco]

A few announcements:

New PDF is live
Occam's Razor has finally finalized our rulebook--no more beta release business. You can find the updated PDF on the front page of our website. I have taken the time to put bookmarks in the PDF so you can easily find sections of the book if you can't remember what to search for. It's even in single-page format this time, whoa. Bookmarks can be accessed through the bookmark icon on the left hand panel in Acrobat Reader or on the top left of the navigation bar if you're viewing it in Chrome.

A Print Version Is Forthcoming
We will be offering a print version of the rulebook, deliverable in time for our May event, if not sooner. I have already ordered a proof of the book that should arrive the first week of March. If everything is set, we can order a run of books right away!

We will be asking for $40 per book; 184 pages, full-color, hardcover. If you would like to purchase books, please add yourself to the list . I will be ordering the number of books based on this list. I will be in touch with you about a payment deadline in the future.

Get in on this now--the price will only go up. We expect this to be the largest print run of books, so future, smaller runs will have a higher price per book at the printers. Save some dollars by jumping in on the first run!

Change Log
We have not rejiggered headers or specializations, though it is a good idea to reread your skills anyway. We did make some wording tweaks for greater clarity based on questions you asked over the last couple years. Mostly this update was to get into the book all the changes and additions we've made since the game started that have only been contained here on the forums, and to re-layout the book for printing purposes.

Some things:
- added "Position" Quality
- "First Responder" update: can Cure Maim by Medicine with 5 min RP
- added some clarity, stating the Bound are not possessed humans
- added some new language under "Play Nice With Others"
- added some clarification on Grants and how many can be active
- added rules/description for Crime Scenes
- added comment stating Drain does not effect Racial Drawbacks, and added "Racial Drawback" to appropriate skills
- changed some language under "Death and Reincarnation" regarding perming and new characters
- added some clarity to the "Rank" and "Position" Qualities
- If you're a Hexenmeister, reread your skills due to some previous confusion between Imbues and Grants. The book is correct.
- added "Drug Use" section with rules regarding in game drugs, similar to Binge Drinking -- You have been warned. ;D
- probably some other small tweaks I have forgotten

Extra Points
To anyone who emails Coco with typos or whatnot that she missed before she sends the book for final printing!

That's all for now on this. Enjoy the new PDF, please sign up if you want a hardcover, and start getting hyped for a new awesome season of Occam's Razor!

How would you like your bookshelf to look like this?

You already know the Occam's Razor staff works very hard to bring you the best quality game we can muster--from deep story to fun combat to immersive settings to intricate puzzles. To a beautiful campsite never used for LARPing before. To a jukebox playing an oddly prophetic radio station in the best diner in town to get a cup of coffee. To a virtual loot system and customized electronic puzzles. To an easy to use and truly awesome Character Database. To individual counsel and communication with players. To really excellent sounding promotion posts.

Now we're one of the first Accelerant LARPs to print a rule book, and definitely the first one to print it with as much snark, style, and secrecy as is contained in these pages. The proof is in, and the physical copy looks great. Do you want to keep a bit of the evidence of this game?

Books are $40.
Payment Deadline: April 8
