Greetings! This is my first post on this forum. I have played only 2 sessions of ICRPG and I love it! Especially the timers really add tension and risk to my table, which is something I struggled with before. Anyway, here are some Type options I came up with to expand those in the master edition rulebook. I don’t really have that much experience with this game so please don’t judge too harshly. Also: English isn’t my native language so forgive any grammar mistakes. Of course, feedback is always welcome! I really liked coming up with these!
