Slip! Repainted is a tabletop role-playing game set in a colourful and ridiculous world,
based around a somewhat mutated version of the 'Lumen' game system developed by Gila
RPGs. In Slip! Repainted, players control powerful Sculpts who battle, travel and cook their
way through the Painted World, spending Outcome Points to solve the issues they come
across whilst cooking and eating flavourful food that regains these resources.

It is a time beyond time: science and technology had long ago reached the point of magic,
and now have devolved into nonsense.

 Øütçømës
Sculpts use their Outcomes to influence decisions with

enhanced risk or reward. Outcomes are measured in points

and are spent when an Outcome Check is called into play.
Every Sculpt has the following three Outcomes:

SUGAR is used to influence Outcomes in a sense that

is immediately beneficial to the Sculpts. Outcome Checks
solved with Sugar result in direct assistance.

SOUR is used to influence Outcomes in a manner that

is immediately detrimental to any adversay the Sculpts
may be facing. In some circumstances, this may result in
an effect similar to Sugar Outcomes, though generally will
halt or prevent adversaries and their actions.

SPICE is used to influence Outcomes in a manner that

both assists the Sculpts and blocks adversaries. This
combines effects from the Sugar and Sour Outcomes,
though without the intensity of either.

üØ tçømë Çhëçks
Outcome Checks are called into play when a Sculpt attempts an action with a degree
of risk or reward. To resolve an Outcome Check, a Sculpt must spend [1] Outcome
Point. This Outcome is then put into effect.

If the Sculpt has no Outcome Points remaining, the Outcome results in a

consequence that directly and negatively impacts the Sculpt.

Rounds and Turns.

Combat encounters are played in Rounds. During a Round, every Sculpt and Enemy has Turn.
During their Turn combattants can move across the arena, attack with Tools, cast Prisms and
use a variety of Items including Consumables.

Turn Order.
All Sculpts have their Turns before the enemies. The Sculpts decide the order in which they
act. After every Sculpt has acted, the Enemy Turn begins. After the Enemy Turn the Round
resets and the Sculpts may act again.

Movement and Zones.

Arenas used in combat encounters are measured in Zones. A Zone is an abstract form of
measurement: two beings a Zone apart can touch one another with the tips of their fingers.

Tools and Prisms have specific Zones that they can effect targets within. A melee Tool, for
example, may only work on targets in the Same Zone as, or in a Zone adjacent to, the user.
Others may only work if there is a Zone in-between the user and target, or may have other,
more specific applications.

Harm, Self and Armour.

Harm is the direct physical damage dealt to a Sculpt or enemy during an attack. Harm is dealt
immediately and is subtracted from the target's Self. When Self reaches [0], the target is
defeated: enemies are killed and spawn Drops, and Sculpts melt and enter the Substrate.

Armour is extra Self that is gained at the start of combat. Armour is always lost before Self.
In combat, Armour cannot be regained once it is lost, though is restored at combat's end.

Sçülpt Türñs
Sculpt Turn Actions.
During their Turn a Sculpt can do two actions: an Attack OR Run and a Cast OR Item.
The Sculpt must choose between only one action between these two sets: if they Attack,
they cannot Run.
Two Actions:
Attack OR Run + Cast OR Item.
-Attack! Use a Tool to attack an enemy.
-Run! Pass through Zones up to 1D6 + Slick.
-Cast! Spend Juice to activate their Innate Prism or use a Slip.
-Item! Use a Consumable.
 Enemy Activation.
Ëñëmÿ Türñs
After all Sculpts have had their Turn the enemies act. When an enemy
6

turn begins, enemies equal to the amount of fighting Sculpts are

activated.

When an enemy is activated, they can Move and Attack. Enemies can
Move Zones Equal to their Slick score and may have a number of
Attacks they can use.

Enemy Attacks.
If an activated enemy can attack during its turn, it will. Certain
attacks may target Sculpts in certain positions or states.

Enemies with multiple attacks available to them have their attacks

shown in a table. When such an enemy is activated, roll on the table to
determine which attack they use.
Powerful enemies may be able to attack multiple times per
activation.

Enemy Drops.
When an enemy is reduced to [0] Self, they are killed and spawn their
Drop. Typically this is Juice or Clay. Enemies killed by Combos may

Çømbøs
create different Drops.

Combo Tokens.
Throughout battle, Sculpts and enemies may set up powerful attacks through
coordination and careful execution. These attacks are known as Combos.

Combos are set up through the application of Combat Tokens. Combat Tokens are
primarily applied through repeated Tool attacks upon enemies. A combattant can
only have one Combo Token applied to them at a time. Combo Tokens do not stack.

Applying Combo Tokens.

When, during a Sculpt's turn, a target is attack twice in a row by a Tool, a Combo
Token is added to them. The use of some Prisms and Consumables also applies
Combo Tokens.

Using Combo Tokens.

When an enemy with a Combo Token is hit by an attack from a Tool or Prism, the
Tool or Prism's Combo Ability is put into effect and the Combo Token is removed.
Every Tool has its own unique Combo Ability, as does every Prism colour.

Enemy Combos.
Enemies can use Combos on Sculpts. However, during an enemy turn, the enemies
may either apply Combo Tokens or activate Combo Abilities. They cannot do both
during the same turn.
7
Tøøls
Tools are the primary weapons used by Sculpts. They are used in combat to attack enemies.

Tool attributes.
Tools have the following attributes:
-Attack. This is how the Tool attacks enemies, including the damage that is dealt to the enemy's
Self and the Zones that the Tool can target.
-Combo. A stronger ability that is activated when the Tool is used to attack an enemy with a
Combo Token. Activating this ability removes the Combo Token.

As the Sculpts explore the Painted World, coming across danger and peril as they do so, they will invariably
spend their key resources: Self, Juice and Outcomes. Recovering each of these involves caring for the body
and mind; the continuation of life between adventure and intrigue.

Clay Globules.
Clay is the covering of all, the skin of reality. Clay is measured in
globules. One globule is enough to fill someone's hands, perhaps the
size of a balled fist.

Sculpts primarily gain Clay globules through defeating enemies. Most

enemies are covered in the clay and will drop a globule of Clay
appropriate to their colour when defeated. For example, Ruby
enemies drop Ruby-coloured Clay.

Uses of the Clay.

Clay globules have a number of uses. Potential uses for Clay globules
include the following:
-Commerce. Some regions of the Painted World may use Clay
Globules as currency. Specific colours may be worth more than
others.
-Healing. A Clay globule, if absorbed by a Sculpt, restores [1] Self.
-Slip-making. Merging two Clay globules together is the primary
method of creating a Slip.

Slïps
Slips are the totems of altered Clay that allow Sculpts to harness Prisms
beyond that of the one innate to their flesh.

Creating a Slip.
Slips are created through the merging of [2] Clay globules. This
functionally destroys the Clay in question, making them useless as
currency or for healing.

Slips are of a specific colour. To determine what Clay globules must

be merged to create a Slip of a specific colour, consult the Clay
Colour Wheel. Merging Clay globules outside of the combinations in
this wheel results in useless mud.
For example, merging a globule of Ruby and Kumquat Clay results in a
Brass Slip.

Using Slips.
When a Sculpt uses the 'Cast!' Action in combat, they may brandish a
Slip and spend [1] Juice to activate its Prism.

Every Slip is connected to [1] Prism. Initially the nature of this Prism
is unknown to the Sculpt. Upon a Slip's first use in combat, a Prism is
rolled on the Prism colour table appropriate to the Slip's colour.
After this has been rolled, the Slip will always use this Prism.
 Prïsms
Sculpts have access to Prisms, powerful abilities of magic that are Cast into being.
Sculpts always have access to three Prisms, which are their Innate Prisms. This is
14

determined at character creation.

Other Prisms can be used through the creation and brandishing of Slips.

Innate Prisms.
Every Sculpt has [3] Innate Prisms. These are the Prisms of their Colour Palette.
Innate Prisms cannot be changed.

Using Prisms in Combat.

To use a Prism in combat, a Sculpt must choose the 'Cast!' action and must spend [1]
Juice. The Sculpt can then choose one of their available Prisms to cast. Sculpts are
always able to cast their Innate Prisms, as well as the Prisms tied to any Slips they
are carrying. The chosen Prism is then immediately put into effect.

Using Prisms out of Combat.

To use a Prism a Sculpt has access to out of combat, the Sculpt must spend [1] Juice.

Restoring Juice.
Juice is restored through using Juice-restoring Consumables and absorbing Juice
Pods. Juice Pods can be found across the Painted World and restore [2] Juice.

Seasonal Change.
Thë Sëåsøñs
As Sculpts explore the Painted World, they will witness the season change. This alters how
they interact with the environment as well as how they spend their downtime between
adventures. Every season has unique weather patterns and different festivals take place
across the cycle of the year to commemorate the passage of time and to venerate life.

The Seasons.
The Painted World is host to six seasons, all lasting 30 days across a total annual cycle of 180
days. Though the biomes and lands of the Painted World are diverse, the seasons alter them in
a somewhat uniform manner: during the scorching months, the land heats up and during the
colder, more bitter months, snow falls and the skies darken. This is a constant across the land,
only to be altered through terraformers and weather machines long-forgotten. The seasons
reign over change, and the land bows to their will.

Weather can be activated in two circumstances: through Weather Checks made whilst
travelling, or through Pathos.

Weather Checks
Weather Checks are rolled throughout travel. Generally, their frequency is up to the
travellers: they could be rolled every day, every week or only when it feels appropriate.

When a Weather Check is made, roll 1D6. If the result is a 1 or 2 a Weather event occurs. Roll
on the Weather Table appropriate to the season to determine what the event is.

Pathos
Pathos reflects the mood of the travellers. Use this instead of Weather Checks for particularly
thematic travel. When Pathos is activated, the Weather is based on the mood of the travellers:
when they are happy, it is sunny. When they are sad, it rains.

Cooking involves the Sculpts, during downtime or when preparing for adventures, preparing
ingredients at workstations to create meals. Meals can be consumed to restore spent
Outcome points, the Outcome points that are restored being those that align with the
flavour of the meal consumed: Sugar for sweet desserts, Sour for foods bitter and tart and
Spice for hot meals.

Flavour
The amount of Flavour a meal has within it determines how many Outcome Points the meal
restores when eaten. Flavour is gained through ingredients; the higher the quality of
ingredient, the more Flavour it has.

When creating a meal, the Flavour of every individual ingredient is added together. This total
is the Flavour of the meal.

Ingredient Qualities
There are three qualities of ingredients: Poor, Medium and High. The quality of an
ingredient determines its Flavour.

Ingredient Qualities
Poor Quality: +1 Flavour
Medium Quality: +2 Flavour
High Quality: +3 Flavour

Creating Food: Recipes and Levels.

Meals are created by following a recipe at a Workstation. Most recipes are tied to a specific
workstation. These recipes can only be created at certain workstations. For example, the Pie
recipe can only be created at the oven workstation. Recipes may also have a level attached to
them. These recipes can only be crafted at a Workstation with a level equal to or greater than
the recipe's level. Using the example of the Pie, the Pie recipe has a level of 2. As such, only
ovens of level 2 or higher can be used to create the Pie recipe.

Workstations.
There are a variety of workstations that food can be created at. These may come pre-installed
in the home of a Sculpt, or may otherwise have to be bought and installed. Workstations have
a Level assigned to them. The higher this level is, the more recipes the Workstation will be
able to craft. Improving the Workstation's level is akin to improving its facilities, with it
gaining hardier equipment and the tools necessary for cooking increasingly more complex
meals.

Flavour Total.
When cooking a meal, count up the Flavour of every ingredient used. This gives the Flavour
total of the meal.

For every 2 points of Flavour a meal has, 1 Outcome Point

can be restored through its consumption. For example, a
meal with a total Flavour of 4 can restore 2 Outcome
Points.
41
Shops.
Gåthërïñg Føød
Most shops will generally sell basic ingredients such as flour, milk, eggs and roots, with
smaller shops selling food only that grows in the immediate area (often supplied by nearby
farms and orchards) and larger, more expensive establishments having the ability to sell
produce form further afield.

Farms.
Buying from farms is cheaper than buying from shops, but all produce they sell is of the same
Quality and they cannot stock food that grows outside their native region.

Foraging.
Foraging can only be done when the Sculpts are exploring a wilderness, and cannot be done in
the colder months of Rawe and Tille.
Once per day, when travelling a region, a group of Sculpts may choose to gain one food of
high quality. This must be a base produce item, such as a vegetable, fruit or meat, and must be

Mëål Flåvøürs
native to the area.

Meals can be of three flavours: Sugary, Sour and Spicy. This determines the Outcome points
that are regained through the meal's consumption.
If the Scultps are following a pre-established recipe, it may already come with a flavour
assosciated with it. Hot Wings, for instance, made with spicy sauce and meat, would be of the
Spicy flavour. A custard pudding, with a fluffy and sweet filling, would be of the Sugary
flavour.

Ingredient Flavours
Some ingredients may come with a pre-established flavour assosciated with them. Bitter
Roots are Sour. Maple Syrup is sweet. If the Sculpts are following their own recipe, look to the
flavour of the majority of the ingredients and use that to determine the meal's overall
flavour.

Neutral Flavours
Not all ingredients may have a flavour assosciated with them and may be counted as Neutral.
Though they contribute flavour points to the overall meal, they do not contribute to whether
the meal is coutned as being Sugary, Sour or Spicy.

Wørkståtïøñs
Workstations can be of three levels. Their minimum level is 1 and their maximum is 3.
Workstation improvements allow for more ingredients to be used when cooking meals.

Workstation Level 1: Maximum 2 Different Ingredients

Workstation Level 2: Maximum 5 Different Ingredients
Workstation Level 3: Maximum 7 Different Ingredients
Recipes with more ingredients than the Workstation level can accomidate cannot be created
at the Workstation.

Dying.
Thë Sübstråtë
When a Sculpt is reduced to [0] Self they melt and - for all intents and purposes - die. Their
cosncience is returned to the Substrate, a mechanical device that once acted to be the vestibule
into a simulated afterlife known as the Ether. That afterlife has long decayed; now the Substrate
acts only as a method through which deceased Sculpts can return to the Painted World.

The Substrate.
When a Sculpt dies, they drop all items and equipment and enter the Substrate. It looks
something like the internal hollow of a giant tree, though is entirely mechanical. All currently
deceased Sculpts populate the Substrate. They are aetherial and shimmering, and can be spoken
to. It is not uncommon for Sculpts to make new friends and lovers in the Substrate.

To leave, Sculpts must ascend the internal hollow to the glowing peak of the Substrate. This takes
time. Under most circumstances, it takes only a day or so; in times of war and anguish it can take
whole seasons. Time passes whilst Sculpts persist in the Substrate.

Reincarnation.
When a Sculpt leaves the Substrate they are reincarnated at their point of origin. This is often the
largest city in the biome of the Painted World in which their colour palette is tied to.

It is said that some Sculpts, Weapons or Monsters can forcefully disconnect others from the
Substrate, making reincarnation impossible. Such true death is a thing of fear and myth.

Etherings are mystic expressions of the Ether, the decayed afterlife simulation that persists
