Hello, I ordered a physical book with international shipping but there was no way of entering my address in the checkout process (only a billing address, not a delivery address) - is there a way I can retrospectively add my address to the order? Thank you :)
Hello! I bought this (physical copy, US Shipping) as a Xmas gift but haven’t filled in the recipient information. I’d like to delay sending the emailed version until closer to Xmas—should I just put my own email address as the recipient and then forward that email when I want my friend to receive it?
Ooh, I actually don't know how itch handles gift distribution internally- I suspect you can add your friend's email closer to Christmas and it'll go out then, but if not you can reenter the email on this page to have them resend the download link; https://itch.io/docs/buying/already-bought
If anything goes wrong, I can always send you a new download key!
I heard of this game through Friends at the Table podcast, and was so intrigued. I just played my first session with two of my friends, and though we did not finish it, we had so much fun creating our unique world and the stories that inhabited it. The prompts were creative and thought provoking. Thank you for the marvellous experience!
just played this game for the first time and it was fantastic. There isn’t a lot I can say that hasn’t been said, but I can say this: The Ground Itself is perfect for anyone who really liked the premise of Microscope, but found it to be too open ended without any prompts or randomizers to get the ideas flowing. It’s also probably perfect for anyone who didn’t feel that way, honestly.
Our game started as a silly story about a grocery store in a town with ghosts, where food that goes bad turns into ghost food. We very quickly went down a rabbit hole of turning that silly grocery store into a pretty heartbreaking tale about the fear of death.
The Ground Itself is very easy to pick up and play, but its simplicity belies its power and versatility as a storytelling engine. All of its parts are finely-tuned to interact with one another to guide your table somewhere wondrous, dreadful, poignant, or surprising. If the premise appeals to you at all, I cannot recommend it enough.
Hi,I just finished a French traduction of the game. Would you agree to talk about a bit about it? I sent you an email but i'm not sure it reached it's destination :)
The places around us hold stories that are bigger than any one of us. The Ground Itself a grand, elegant way to tell those stories. A beautiful, artful game, enclosed in lovely presentation and thoughtful prose.

By the way, how many pages is this?

Hi! Do you plan to offer community copies of this game? Thanks!
Those with financial hardship can always email me for a free copy of the PDF!
any chance of more physical copies? seems the link on your site leads to an error page on itch.
I am traveling until August and can't ship orders, but they'll be available again then!
stellar - safe travels!
