How do the Pressure Point come into play? I see the rules about what it represents and how it changes, but what does it affect? How do you use it? Does it modify something?

What is the answer?
Hi ManaDawn!
I would like to translate Barrow Delver to Simplified Chinese (简体中文) and post it on itch.io for free (under CC-BY-SA 4.0), is that okay for you? I’d also like to use the cover material if possible.
I’ve got a lot of other work to do at the moment (*sigh*), but if you’ll allow me to translate this in the future, we can high-five right now.
P.S. I’ve translated Cairn SRD and hacked a beautiful cover!
love this idea!!!
Hi, I'm thinking of translating Barrow Delver to Polish. Would it be ok with you?
please do! That sounds amazing
Great, can I contact you somehow? Maybe I could use some of your files to make it look similar?
For sure. You can reach out at manarampmatt@gmail.com
It's ready at: https://hechlok.itch.io/badacz-kurhanow
Thanks for helping me with it
I used this for a solo game of Cairn and really enjoyed the changing dynamic for the yes/no outcomes. I’m looking forward to trying the spark tables at some point.
I printed a couple of copies and am stuffing them into some of my other RPG zines to run with other game systems, since this is so versatile! Thanks for providing this as a free product.
Love the idea of the yes/no Oracle relating to the Pressure Point DR, very neat!
