Just spent a couple hours on a run. This demo is really, really superb - looking forward to the full game!!

Done!

Hey there! Sure thing - if you send me an email at games@blinkingbirch.com with the proof of purchase, I'd be happy to send you an itchio download code. Thanks for picking up the game!

Oh wow! Thanks so much for making this and spreading the word about the bundle!

Absolutely!

This looks so lovely! Elyssa did a wonderful job with the design.

Sure thing! The digital downloads contain files and instructions for online play.

(and thank you!)

Sure thing! I've just added some more :)

Cassi this is so cool! Thanks for making and sharing this.

Hi goldaline! Thanks for letting me know, I will double check with Deernicorn about the files. For now, feel free to claim a community copy from this itchio page (they're always stocked!). You should then be able to download the files for online play. Thanks for your interest in the game!

I mean you KNOW I'd scoop up a physical edition in a heartbeat

You wouldn't be able to do the major arcana draw that comes with each prompt, but the prompts themselves could be edited for playing cards! Use the Jack as a Knight, and slide in a Joker to use as the Page. The Joker will have to be transferred to each deck but it should work fine!

Wow, this is wonderful! I'm honored that you took the time to translate the game. Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad you and your spouse were able to enjoy it together!

I led a couple players through a 2-player version on the podcast Planet Arcana! It worked really well - basically, each person had their own character, and they answered the same prompts but pulled different major arcana. That format should work for 3+ players, too.

Hey there! The damaged copies do indeed ship to Italy, and the $8 digital version comes with all digital files, not just the game PDF.

Thanks for asking!

As you described, the player draws 3 minor arcana each act. They will also draw 3 major arcana each act - one for each prompt (aka, each minor arcana).

During each prompt the player draws 1 minor arcana and 1 major arcana. Thus, you should have 3 major arcana cards (not including the shadow) to shuffle back into the major arcana deck at the end of the act. The minor arcana cards do not need to be shuffled back into the deck, as they will not be used again.

Hope that helps clarify!

This game was fantastic! The art for each room is stunning, and I was surprised by the large number of sprites created for the cat (whom I love). The final room was delightfully spooky. I had a great time playing.

I'm so delighted to see this idea come to life! What a wonderful game!!

This is delightful! I definitely want to use this in the future to help create funky details for NPCs.

Thank you so much! :)

I absolutely love that this SRD has prompts for your prompts! They're fantastic for brainstorming.

This is genuinely one of most fun I've ever had GMing a one-shot. It was a true delight playing as the Estate and a seemingly endless number of crows. If you like gothic literature do not sleep on this.

No problem! 😊

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, thank you!

To answer your question, major arcana is correct - putting them back into the deck allows the possibility of drawing the same major arcana cards in the next act. You can actually put the minor arcana aside at the end of the act because you won't be using them anymore. Hope that helps!

This is so wonderful, thank you so much for sharing!!

Any tarot deck would work! When designing the game, I used the Rider-Waite deck designed by Pamela Coleman Smith, but any tarot deck is fine.

Numbskulls is a true delight! Very silly, good for all-ages, and perfect for Halloween (or anytime you want to play as a skeleton, which is all the time for me).

The character coloring sheet is such a wonderful idea, I'd love to see this in more games!

I think they'll be on sale in April!

This table is so clever!! I will absolutely be using it in my games.

This game is incredibly smart and charming! All of the tables are super helpful. The rules are both clear and simple. I feel like I'd easily be able to GM this game with zero prep. Also the art is so delightful! Highly recommend.

This game is so wonderful and charming!! I know my friends and I will have a blast playing this. The concept is hilarious and all of the random tables are super helpful. There's so much love and humor put into this little game - it's one of my favorites from ZineQuest 3.

This is such a kind and thoughtful review, thank you!

Wow!! Thank you so much for the lovely words, I'm glad it could provide some joy during tough times! It certainly means a lot to hear, especially that you enjoy the writing.

Good catch on the banned words! It completely slipped past me...I was so focused on not using the word "blood" that I looked past "life" (a more egregious offence than blood, I'd reckon!). Turns out that game is harder than I thought!
