The Bad Articles is produced by Felbryn Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OUR RULES Our system is simple. Characters have 16 skills, each starting at 20% (a basic human-level chance to succeed).
Players get 10 "pips" which they can assign to boost skills of their choosing. Each pip adds +20% to their window of success, with a maximum of 3 additional PIPs per skill (success window is capped at 80%).
To utilise a skill, players roll a d100. If they roll equal to or under their skill level, they succeed.
To avoid issues (such as damage or mental affects) players will be asked to make preservation rolls. The DC of the preservation roll is set at 80% (easy), 60% (medium), 40% (hard), 20% (challenging).
DISCLAIMERS All characters, events, and organisations in The Bad Articles are entirely fictional. No AI has been used in the creation of the show.
CONTENT WARNINGS Death, violence, language, mild horror elements and light gore SFX. Listener discretion is advised, especially for those sensitive to depictions or sounds of injury (misophonia).
