Omg yay!!! Hope you enjoy your adventures in the Magic Dimension 

This is so cool! I love the art and the mechanics feel sparse but flavorful. Might have to bring this to the table sometime :)

Here's my route! I tested it, and on the second refresh, I got 95% again. :)

For some reason, the first time I tried to re-enter it, it showed the "the self-destruct button is pressed" scene twice, playing instead the hallway shields event. This meant my bots got creamed. Hitting refresh and entering the sequence again fixed the problem. 

The first time I played this, I was getting 66%, swapped "follow bot route" for take "planned route," did worse, swapped "follow bot route" back in, and then got the 95%. 

The through line seems to be my first attempts fail, and then doing something different then trying again fixes it. I'm on Chrome if it helps at all - I actually had different results playing on my phone, but it explicitly said phone was not supported so that's my fault. 😅

I got to 95%! That was fun. :) It was a little confusing because I did a order, got 66%, changed it, got 40%, changed it back to the original order, then got 98%. Not sure why that worked, but hey I'll take it!

This rocks!!! Lovely game - looking forward to doing some rituals. :)

Cool!! I like the skill groupings - it’s a bit lasers and feelings but also feels new and fresh!

This is super cute!!! It made my heart warm as I read it. Maybe Luckytumble needs to show up in one of my games someday!

I opened this up expecting a joke and found a cool fantasy lasers and feelings hack 😅 Not what I expected but a pleasant suprise!

Cool!!! I definitely want to give this a spin - thanks for making it :)

Really cool! It makes sense that a Joined might want to grow together instead of apart, and I like how the mechanics were implemented around that. If a player wanted to play Joined in my game I’d totally recommend this to them! 

very funny game! had a fun time making a magical girl 5e slop game 

Hey Rene! I dove into Port Road's Isle and had a great time! I really love the city exploration mixed with fun tactical combat, and the maritime vibes of Port Road's Isle are wonderful. 

I ran into a lot of questions while playing, and it'd be really nice to have some clarity before I pick it back up. The thing I got stuck on was that the Port Road's Isle discovery clock is 8 segments long, but there only seem to be 6 things that fill it up (SPOILERS):

1. The dockyard fight
2. deciphering the siren’s song 
3. analysis 2+ 
4. defeating the Ctenophora
5. the Ctenophora fight (if the fight also counts) 
6. the brine elemental fight

The game also says that "freeing the tidebrood" ticks up the discovery clock, but there's no mention of a tidebrood past that. Have I missed something obvious? 

Thank you!!! Hope you enjoy :)

This is so cool!!! Peak billionaire horror - I love how insidious the premise is and how rooms are littered with flashbacks. I especially love the letter that can be addressed to one of the players. 

I enjoyed reading this - thanks for putting it out there!

Whoa, spooky! I enjoyed reading this - thanks for making it :)

That's awesome!!! Glad you're enjoying it :)

This is so helpful, thank you!

This is awesome!!! I'm looking forward to giving this a spin :)

hi noxnightly!

Generally, a spell “fails” if it produces an unintended effect. When players aren’t under pressure, they’re probably not going to fail spells - experimenting and problem solving together is intended gameplay. When a player has to draw under time pressure or with their eyes closed, it’s more difficult. A piece of a spell could be drawn too big, or outside of the circle, or in the wrong shape. It’s up to the GM to interpret the mistake, which can lead to meaningful narrative consequences.

Making magic doesn’t require a dice roll to succeed, but sometimes the actions around making magic require a roll. For example, making an arrow out of water doesn’t require a roll, but hitting a paper fluttering in the breeze with that arrow probably would require a roll. Mixed successes/failed rolls around magic can also lead to interesting consequences.

I’ll also note that even correct spells can lead to interesting complications. Once, to get across a canyon, my playtesters put a flying spell on a log and flew it across - but they didn’t think about how to stop it. So they were rocketing through the air at high speeds and had to figure out how to get down safely. It was a fun challenge! 

Hope this helps! :)

This rocks!!! I love the flashy stunts and the risk/reward of getting advantage on enemies that miss an attack against you. 

This rocks!!! Looking forward to the full release

Wow, this is really cool! It's a small detail, but I appreciate you added a start table - often I struggle with how to start games like this so it's an appreciated feature! The magical girl/cyberpunkish mashup is also super neat.

this ROCKS!!! cool idea very well-executed

wow this looks lovely! I'm going to give it a shot - thanks for putting it together :)

Thank you!!!

Awesome module! It's so high quality I can't believe it's released for free. Great maps, super fun adventure, and easy to run! 

Cool game!!!

THIS ROCKS!!!!! So hyped to get borged up

I'm honestly not sure yet! Still thinking.

I've had a time loop game on the backburner for awhile! You play with a row of index cards and rip them into smaller and smaller pieces as the timeline fragments. This seems like very good motivation to work on that. 

This is wonderful! 10/10, peak gaming 

Thanks Chromas!

I absolutely loved playing this game! It's a beautifully reflective experience, reminiscent of a Becky Chambers novel or a walk in the woods. The world needs more compassionate visions of the future and this game gives you all the tools you need to create your own. 

Omg I love the layout!!! Can't wait to defeat my next laundry horde with this game ⚔️ 

you should visit the project page. i spent a lot of time on it :)

This was really nice!

I ran this for my friends and it was really fun! They were able to successfully extract the president from DEMON FUCKED CLEVELAND with only 30 minutes to spare. One of my friends, in typical him fashion, stayed behind and seduced the demon queen before getting blown into oblivion. Overall, good, demony fun!

I wound up using a super modified version of Blades in the Dark because I do not like stats and battlemaps and whatnot. I might post the adjusted playbooks somewhere if I feel like it.

Here's a slideshow that I used to introduce my players to the premise/setting! Feel free to steal/modify for your own game. :)

This game is fantastic!!!

I just finished up playing it with a friend of mine and we were wrecks by the end. It's very emotionally intense - in the best way. If you like Wretched and Alone games but wish you could make someone suffer with you, this is the game for you. 

My only nitpick is that the pages are split up a bit weird - the rescue text for the exile wound up in the solitude's manual. I had to spoil myself to reformat it, and believe me, this is a game you need to go in blind to. 

That being said, I'm going to absolutely destroy more of my friends with this. If you're thinking of getting this, it's 100% worth it. Thank you, kind author, for a very enjoyable evening!
