GLAIVEv2

I got this game a few months back and I just wanted to say I absolutely love this system and can't go back to anything else! I loved Knave but wanted a bit of a trait system for ancestries and features gear can't cover and Glaive V2 does all of that while keeping that Knave modability alive. The system is the perfect bridge for folks who love more modern systems but also love osr's more simplistic gameplay approach. It is easy to convert D&D 5e players from one to the other as anything you'd wanna do in 5e can be converted into a trait, item, or spell in Glaive very easily while also making it easy to add any homebrew rules you might need to the system. The trait system is also easily expandable to customize all sorts of characters that more rigid systems wouldn't allow for allowing for endless ancestry options for your players as long as your willing to sit down with them and create traits together that fit their characters or even homebrew mix and match existing ancestry traits to resemble a different ancestry than the core rulebook ones.  It's criminal that I only accidentally stumbled upon this game looking at Knave hacks and that none of the big youtubers or anyone even mentions this game system as it's made with a lot of love and really captures what a ttrpg system should be, one that allows your characters to be anything you the GM warrant as ok for your table rather than being stuck with the same one or two options every time you play. 

Also for those who might be confused on how to convert 5e stats into Glaive ones, generally if you take the mod of the stat that's the score for saves skills and dmg, use the higher of str/con as STR in Glaive is essentially both, use the higher of Int/Wis since WIS in Glaive is your all encompassing Mind stat, Charisma becomes Willpower and that usually works fine with some more bulky creatures needing a bit of adjusting here or there and follow monster masher rules for their Atk bonus and HP usually AC can be fine the way it is in 5e but you might wanna adjust one or two points down for some monsters unless they use equipment then treat their AC as it would be using the equipment section. Definitely recommend modern ttrpg players and osr players alike give this game a shot :D!

I really love the simplicity of this system along with the layout and the illustrations. It's really very nice.

I like Relic too, but I'm glad that Glaive is shorter. It's a bit of a shame things like the Monster Menu didn't make the cut, but I just added the page back in during printing.

I'm wondering if the monsters from The Black Hack Classic Monsters would work for Glaive?

Example: Zombie HD 1 - 1d8 HP and does HD1+1 Damage (2 in this case, or you can also role a 1d4 if you don't want to use an average)

I also have the Monster Overhaul but it's not a light weight book. I'm guessing those don't need any conversion though?

Heya! Very interested in this game. Any chance for more community copies? I'm from Argentina where our cost of living is relatively low so 5.00 USD take an important chunk of my salary :(

I love this game. 

Are there any future plans for another update or has anyone created additional content?

Hrm, it's now saying I need to buy this, despite owning it from the Kickstarter code.  Bug in the update?

I noticed that there is a Roll20 implementation of Glaive v1.  Any chance to convince the authors to upgrade it to v2? :)

Hello! How do you build or convert creatures?

Is there any chance your game will have more community copies available? I'm Brazilian and the dollar price makes your game more than 5 times more expensive in my country. I really like the first version of it and would like access to the second one. Thank you very much.

Looks like the new file with the updates is layout only, do you mind uploading the single pages file as well?

Hi! I’m interested in running Glaive (I got the rules from backing Home) with some tweens/teens at the local library. Could I have permission to print & give away copies of the rules to players? Thanks! 

Need your help w/ a clarification. Magic & Cursed Items (p32). № 3 is Ring (holds 1 MD). Should this be something else (+1 WIL, +1 [L/HL], etc)?

A friend pointed me into this beauty. Any chance of community copies? -

Is there a maximum level for XP advancement & HP gain?

I see that you have changed the number of slots for armor compared to relic. Light is 1, medium 3 and heavy 5. Whats the thought behind this?

Excitedly looking over v2, loving the expanded classes and the stat streamlining! Sad to see the Pre-Built Packs for classes go, was that intentional? Additionally, I noted "Barbarian" in the Table of Contents - that might be a typo.

I love Glaive!  What's changed in v2?

I see you've dropped the OGL but this version is notably missing a page saying who made it. 

Is this PDF up to date? The Itch.io download was last updated on 9 September 2020, but there's a "Small Update To Glaive PDF" post on Kickstarter, dated a month later, on 7 November 2020.

Is this the one made with GLOG or is that not out yet?

I have the question for the Trick Shot: there's no cover bonus in the rulebook. Can you explain it more?

Also, one more: I was translating this for my session, but also I want to introduce your rule to Korean RPG communities. Can I translate it to Korean, and send this translation to people who purchased your game?

Hello! I've been running some old TSR modules and newer OSR stuff with my group using my own hack of Knave. 

What's your main difference to Knave in this version?
