Wear & Tear: Item Maintenance for any Roleplaying Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Supplies left out in the rain by bandits. Armor roasted by a dragon. And a sword that's been buried underground for years.

These treasures have been ill-treated or abandoned. Now it's time to salvage the best for yourself and break down the rest for spare parts. Get the most out of what you find in your travels with Wear & Tear, a new rules supplement from Room 209 Gaming.

This PDF offers abstract rules to track damage to weapons, armor, mundane equipment, buildings, magical consumables and technology. A simple repair system allows adventurers to use raw materials or other damaged items to fix pretty much anything. 

Random flaw charts help determine what goes wrong with an item once there's been enough deterioration. Find ways to work around the new drawbacks or leave the damaged items for enemies to find. Or gamble everything on one last use of an item that's about to break.

The options included in Wear & Tear are generic so these rules can smoothly add on to the widest range of roleplaying games.

Your sword is going to shatter sometime. Why should that be the end of the fun?

I hate the way items never wear out or become damaged in most RPGs. It begets all sorts of unrealistic characters and situations, such as the tank-style figher-- those heavily armored warriors who need never bother to duck, parry or dodge because they [...]

An excellent resource. 'Wear & Tear' is well-written, direct, and clear. Most importantly, it is a set of clear, easy-to-use rules on the wear and tear of gear and buildings that makes sense and adds depth to a game. Easy to plug into any system, [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
