The game is primarily focused on social interaction and storytelling. The mechanics are d6 dice-based and have structured actions using low-number ability penalties and bonuses. Turn may approach some difficult emotional experiences and it\u2019s advised to be used with the Script Change content tool, included at the end of this document.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT: The Turn Beta is no longer available but you can find the game at any of these links:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiepressrevolution.com\/xcart\/Turn.html\">https:\/\/www.indiepressrevolution.com\/xcart\/Turn.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/briebeau.itch.io\/Turn\">https:\/\/briebeau.itch.io\/Turn<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/281964\/Turn?manufacturers_id=10592\">https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/281964\/Turn?manufacturers_id=10592<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This post was supported by the community on <a href=\"http:\/\/patreon.com\/briecs\">patreon.com\/briecs<\/a>.
