Dear Jack,
I got myself a community copy and have been playing this wonderful game. I recently came across a review/solo playthrough (part 1 and part 2), by Aaron Marks on Cannibal Halfling Gaming, which has praised this game better than I could put into words. This is a top notch game and I will be purchasing a physical copy when I can!
To try and put it in my own words, this game has just the right amount structure, chance, and creativity left to the writer to be enjoyable for many people new and seasoned in the world of solo RPGs. Some journaling games I've played before left too much up to me where I felt I was writing a book from scratch, but this game had enough structure that it didn't feel this way - at all. Plus, if you did want to write more freely, you can! You can write as much as you want with the prompts given and even ignore or skip prompts as needed for your story.
I love the use of the tarot cards and dice sticking. I'm not familiar with the meaning of the tarot cards so it is defiantly not required. Although with more of an understanding of the tarot meanings, I can see how that could enrich the mood/feeling of the cards and prompts. I'm glad there is a digital set up for the cards as I don't own my own deck. Luckily I own a game of Tenzi so I had the dice on-hand.
I decided to hand write my own game in a spare notebook I had which gives me more opportunities to use my fountain pens and inks. I've even incorporated my pens/inks into the story!
I thank you, Jack Harrison, for bringing this game into peoples hands and providing hours of great gaming!
