Hi, I was considering running The Creature Comes for Us at my local TTRPG convention (Festival Draconis)’s annual online edition in March. If this is okay and I end up running it, since it’s online, how should I go about distributing the rules/cards to my players?

If I run it I’m planning to run it semi-GMed so that the game can fit within a festival timeslot, so would it be okay to send them a copy of the game explanation/rules section but not the actual cards, and to just read those out based on what they draw? Or alternatively, since the festival’s games take place over Discord, never send any files or images, and instead just show the rulebook and cards over a Discord stream?

Whatever I end up doing, I’ll definitely encourage anyone who enjoyed the game to pick up their own copy! Oh, and if it would interest you, the festival also has their own game jam on Itch

Hey - so sorry for the delayed response! It's so flattering to hear of your interest in playing this in the online con - thank you SO much!!

When I've played it online before, I found it easiest to have one player have a physical deck or cards (or online randomiser equivalent) to read out for each player's turn to avoid duplicates. You may also be able to run something collaborative in roll20 or tabletop simulator? But I'm not very familiar with the latter.

I would personally prefer if the file is shared on screenshare rather than hand out copy of the game as I would hope they can purchase if they want a copy - but if screen sharing isn't working or if the player cannot afford a copy, please do send a copy over with my blessing and good vibes attached. 💕💕

Have fun! Please do tell me how it goes and what sort of creature comes for you! 😱👻

Thank you for the link - I will check it out!!
