DTR2E countdown-10-Recipe changes

Welcome to the tenth blog post counting down to the release of the Disturbance Timeline RPG: 2nd Edition rule set. These posts will continue up to the release of the 2nd Edition on June 1st of 2024 to mark the 10th anniversary of the 1st edition.

This post takes a look at recipe changes in DTR2E.

Some Skills from 1E have been knocked down to only being Skill Recipes. This includes First Aid (now a Doctor Recipe) and Ammo Reloading (now a Weaponsmithing Recipe). The Doctor Training Skill from 1E is now called Doctor and has multiple Recipes attached to it, including the aforementioned First Aid Recipe. This alone added many Recipes, but most Recipes from the 1E expansion are also included, along with many completely new ones such as the Trap and Juice Recipes. All total, there are 57 Recipe types in 2E compared to 27 in the 1E rule book. This is upped to 58 Recipe types if the Structure Recipes are included in the count.

Two new groups of Recipes were added with 2E: Multi-skilled and Production.

Multi-skilled Recipes require more than one Skill to be at a certain minimum level to have a chance of success. These Recipes are used to create more powerful/useful/unusual items than the other Recipes.

Production Recipes are Recipes that only require the ingredients and time with no Skill Roll. There are not too many of them.

The 58th Recipe type in the DTR2E rule book consists of Structure Recipes, which are covered in the next part.

The next post will take a look at Bases in DTR2E.
