Publisher's blurb: Hot Circle is a spark (fan hack) flung from the Burning Wheel by Luke Crane. It attempts to miniaturise and abstract the intricate technology that powers the Burning Wheel to a minimum derivative game. It's a self contained hack that replaces things that involve long lists in Burning Wheel (traits, skills, lifepaths) with freeform descriptors in the style of Over the Edge, Fate, etc. From this base the framework is extended with compromises (replacing scripted conflicts), conditions, ability tests (using lifepaths to generate circles, wises, resources, and deeds aka flashbacks), and a modified artha cycle (coupled to advancement and compel interactions). User summary: The game is available in two formats - one for screen reading, one for printing in "zine" format (folded, stapled). A one-page character sheet also is distributed with the game.
