Spark Tables & Development Update

Liminal Horror
A downloadable game

Spark Tables are a fantastic tool that can be used by Wardens to prompt ideas.  Entries are general enough that they can be used as the inspiration for a person, place, event, or object. I've attached spark tables for Liminal Horror. Some examples are below. 

Update on timeline:

1. Editing: I'm almost done with a full passthrough of editing/revising. Thankfully text to speech acts as such a support in helping me hear the words and make many a needed fix. 

2. Website: After the editing is done (well this pass at least) I'm going to migrate the text to the website. My goal is to make it  easy to use from a phone or computer while playing. 

3. Playtest/Cheat Sheets: Unfortunately I had to cancel this week's playtest (hopefully next week). On the flip side my other game group is doing a special backyard game and they decided we should run a one-shot playtest. This will be the second party creation playtest and I'm thinking I'll drop them right into the action so we can see how those mechanics work.  Since I won't have the text layout compelted I'll  create some cheat sheets and hopefully have the website up for reference.
