MIRU: An Analog Adventure Game

Loving the game so far!

Quick question concerning tech skills 5, 6, 7.

The character sheets lists them as "no training required" does that mean they are always successful?

Also do they count as a tech skill I know for the amount of dies I roll when attempting to use a trainable tech skill?

As an example, I currently have TS-1 (dodge and strike) trained to level 2, and I have TS-7 (fire arrows) learned from journal 2.

Does that mean that if I want to try to use TS-1 in combat that I roll two dice? And if I fail to roll 2 or under can I just revert to using the always succeeding fire arrow tech skill instead of the Dodge and strike?

Thanks!

Possible typo in Miru I - In village 1, you can buy and sell  fruit and meal bars - but the cost is different than what is listed in the item catalog - it looks like the sell column in the village table got transposed.   Which is correct?

Great game! With an ATK=1, until you get a weapon, you really can't fight any beastie can you? Day 3 you get the phaser, but only have one attack at 9, so anything above 9 HP still can't be defeated. Am I doing that wrong? Even if there is a village up front, without any bits I can't buy anything.

what do i do if the quest say "move 1 tile east" im alrdy at the edge of the map tho..

I think I found a typo. Bought the physical edition from a local game store, and I believe the pixel language around the QR code says "scan the qr code to get access to the digital files of miru ii". Looks like the digital is the same

I have no ability to scan QR codes, so finding a QR code I have to scan to download digital files makes me feel like I paid money and you're holding back part of what I paid for. It doesn't feel good.

I just started my first game and came an encounter with a female ninja followed by R1, C1: 3 | R2, C4: 5 | R2, C6: 3
What does that mean?
I've been reviewing the rules but don't find anything about it.
What am I supposed to do with those?

I rolled and got a God Event on day 1. Does this mean I ignore the one on the calendar for day 3? More to the point, how does getting a god event through dice rolls work with those marked on the daily tracker?! Thanks.

If I use TS for attack I will attack with TS+Weapon or use ATK from TS only?

And when I die when I chose to continue I must delete terrain that I die and start as a new day? Or same terrain but reroll for new event? 

I have some question 

1.about starvation and sleep deprivation when I have no food it's start Starvation Day 1 if next day I eat food and next day I have no food I will count Day 2 or reset to Day 1? 

2. Solar Powered Taser that I get on Day 3 Can I use it to attack enemy? Because stat so OP (+9 ATK &+1 stun) 

Thank you, and I appreciate your game. 

Hi, awesome game!

I have a question on quests you find in villages.

If someone mentions a quest in a tile east of where I am for example. Do I need to eat, sleep, and go to that tile the next day? Or the same day I arrive to the village?

Also, if I have to return something from the quest, that would be a third day to go back to the village?

Or can all be done during the same day?

Thanks!!!

Is there any mechanical difference between melee attacks and ranged attacks?

Hey! I picked up MIRU 1 & 2 and am working through a solo play of 1 (not sure I’m playing it 100% right but I’m having fun haha).

Regarding tile movement: I’ve go blocked in by an impassable tile and can only move to tiles I’ve already visited—does this mean I treat it like a fresh day but keep the terrain, and roll for a new event there?

Could you please clarify some rules for me? This is my first solo TRPG and I’m a little confused.

1. Tech skill: If you use the skill TS-1 Dodge & Strike and I missed, do you deal a normal melee damage or no damage at all?

2. Fight club: If you got hit by your sparring partner, you lose HP according to your die roll, regardless of any DEF you have, right?

3. When you step on a new tile and roll a one, you don't get to draw a terrain on the map. You just suffer a minor injury, eat, sleep, then move on, right? By the way, is there any way to recover for the minor injuries? It's kinda weird when you found a village, get a good meal and a good night sleep at a tavern, but still can't find a way to patch yourself up.

4. When you successfully escape the fight and there is a village tile nearby, can you land on that tile? If so, do you still skip eating and sleeping that day? On the next day, do you have a choice to stay on that tile for another to heal up?

@HINOKODO I assume if I pass back through a hex that has a completed quest or already found map, I treat it like a hex with no icon?

Hello, I'm a bit confused on the paragraph, "Ruins & Encounters do not repeat. Instead, you can pick one option based on what you rolled to clarify a Ruins or Encounter" and the diagram below. What does it mean?

First of all, amazing and addictive game! Congrats and I look forward to playing the sequel.

Second, a question. After finishing my first game I looked through the pdf and found  Impasse Garden and The Cave of Shinda inside. I didn’t run into either of them in my one playthrough. Am I missing something? Is there a trigger in the game that directs me to these two scenarios?

Thanks!

I don't own either edition of the game, but want to play it. Should I purchase MIRU I or MIRU 2? If you had to choose one. 

Thanks

Miru feels unique! I can see why the genre "Analog Adventure" was chosen. Solo rpgs are my new favorite and Miru puts a welcome video game like twist on the genre. Miru Mobile Mods: 3d6 of different colors, 2d6 of the same color, frixion erasable pen,  old candle tin dice cup, and color dot stickers for bookmarks. There is no better way to spend a lunch break in the shade :-)

Overall, a very nice worldbuilding and tone, pretty different if compared to mudane hexcrawling. The flavour in this is cohesive, and feels like an ongoing story.

Fun fact, I got ruins for the 9 first days straight. I guess I was lucky. Also, got lots of food. I even got in doubt if I need 1 or 3 meal per day.

I started reading and playing with 2nd ED files, but I found skills and combat easier to understand on the old file. Indeed, I guess EP cost for skills is missing in 2nd Ed.

Had a blast playing Miru! I used procreate to mark up my character/map sheet so I have a nice kind of mini AP.

I did a 5 minute review of MIRU and talk about why I love it so much. If you're still on the fence, let this video convince you to pick up the game!

Also on my first playthrough and a few questions:

1. When you get a god event (as in Day 3), do you also roll 2d6 for regular events on that tile.

2. If you run out of food, do you still get the benefit from camping, i.e. if you have been 1 day without food (-2 HP) and camp in  the wild (+3 HP, +2 EP), then does that total into +1 HP, +2 EP,  or do you just get -2 HP.

Started my first playthrough last night and had some questions around Tech Skills:

1. Do training rolls for tech skills only happen during combat?  In other words, could I ever train for a tech skill after any events for the turn have been completed (before eating and sleeping).

2. As a result of one of the events I received a Survival Book. The Item Catalog says that this teaches you TS-4.  Is this the equivalent of six successful hits with a tech skill, meaning I wouldn't have to do any training rolls for the skill?

Thanks for the game!

How replayable is this game?

hey! bought a copy from The Lost Bay studio after watching theDD video and really love the premise! Maybe consider adding an entry for your game to the  BoardGameGeek so more people can hear about it! I think a lot of solo gamers there would be super interested in that. Peace!

I feel like an idiot... but how do I build this? I've never made a zine before...

I absolutely love this game! I was lucky enough to scoop up a physical copy too!  

I do have a question though. Concerning your "challenge tip" on page 4 concerning the 3D6.  I get the concept, but not how to adjudicate the result. In hopes of being breif, how you interpret the results with pre-set die?
