Thanks for the feedback and checking the game out! 

Glad the investigation mechanic resonated. Sanity is definitely very open to interpretation. In addition to the admittedly slim guidelines, I would generally give players the power to define themselves whether their Investigator is acting sanely or not in risky situations. For clues, Sanity is mainly there to make sure some clues appear weird and horrific. 

Hope that makes some sense!

ohhhh, this is so good for my d4s. I really dig it. I feel it takes me somewhere great between Pbta and Belong Outside Belonging games. Also, happy to hear of the generous license as well - that could spur some great community kits and hacks. Good job!

Thanks! Sincerely happy to hear this! Feel free to use it as you like, and do share it. Turning it towards a solo game is a great idea.

Thanks. I had a lot of fun so far!

Thanks! Glad to hear it.

Oh yes, I would certainly claim no ingenuity on my part. I really see the overlaps with Harper (not to mention Scrapcat as another nice single stat system), though I had not thought about it initially (added it to the game description). Thanks for pointing it out! Glad you enjoyed the twist.

Thanks for your very kind comment, Beth!

Thanks a lot! Definitely also a favorite part of mine!

What an absolutely lovely game! Mechanics and theme go splendidly together. Good job!

Wow, I just bought your game and looked through it (to the extent that Google Translate can help me ;) ). Great stuff, evocative and I like what you are doing with laws. Congratulations! Looking forward to delving more into it. Any chance of an English version at some point?

Certainly! I haven’t done much with it myself, but I take this as an opening for it :)

Fanatstic! I am very excited for it. Do share it here when it’s done.

Absolutely! Thanks a lot! Share it how ever you like.

That would be fantastic! Thanks! Feel free to share it how ever you like. 

Thanks a lot for this. Glad to hear it resonates. Belonging Outside Belonging is great and simple, and I myself have always wondered why there were no shorter takes on the genre. So I went for one!

Thanks a lot! This gladdens me, really!

Thanks!

Thanks, PR! And thank you for creating such engaging art at your Patreon!

Nice, thanks! FF is fantastic, indeed.

Thanks a bunch. I hope to pick up developing this further soon (things have been busy)!

Very happy to hear that! That was what I hoped for. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks a lot. This is very encouraging! Hope I’ll finish cyberpunk by the end of August the latest.

Thanks for commenting, you are right. I’ll change it.

Thanks a bunch! I myself enjoy it a lot as well. I'll keep updating the page as more world descriptions are complete.

btw, Sean, saw your Skill+Stam fam jam. I’m on, obviously. And if you like, I would love to see Fight & Sorcery! on the list of games for content! Thanks!

Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it.

Indeed! Thanks a lot! Had a lot of fun.

Thanks! Had a lot of fun with it.

Wow thanks! That was an awesome comment. Warms my heart. And a great idea about adding descriptions to the plaintext. I’ll definitely do that!

Thanks a lot! Really glad you liked it.

Luck is very much up to the player(s). The only restraint is that you have to “end with none.” My interpretations, anyway, have been that your

• Luck indicates how many times you can do something extraordinary 
• Luck abstractly indicates how lucky you are by giving a random number between 2 and 12 (the higher, the more lucky?)
• Luck is a resource or meta-currency
• Luck is the number you have to roll under to do something dangerous or uncertain. Decrease it by 1 after each test (like Troika!/Fighting Fantasy)
• Etc

These are just examples of my uses of it.

Again, thanks for commenting and asking!

Wow! This is absolutely great. Love the setting, mechanics and presentation. I'm gonna treat myself to a play-through ASAP (why I have not spoiled myself the later hours). 

Finally, I am of course honoured  to be credited here. Thanks a lot! I think this way of writing solo games is really something worth exploring more.

Thank you very much for trying it out and giving your feedback! I really appreciate that.  I'm happy you liked the balance of art, detail and openness. 

And then I do understand the stalling. Of course that is what can happen when soloing, but the game, I think, also asks a lot of the player and with very little instruction.

As one who likes the victorian vibe, this speaks to me and I really appreciate the work you put into this. It is very well fleshed out! I particularly like the evocative tables and the idea of the daily steps as tools for solo play (obviously), but also for getting into the setting and tone. Good job!

I genuinely think this is great and I'm really looking forward to trying this out when roleplaying outdoors. And also: while I'm not a bird-watcher, this might open a venue for a new area of interest! Nice!

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for trying it out! And I’m really glad you liked the narrative structure on mechanics - that was my main idea going into it. If you will, do let me know how your games goes and any feedback, suggestions obviously. Again, thanks!

Simple but effectful mechanic that fits the thematic of the dwindling flame. That’s great! And I do love the evocative naming of concepts throughout - that brings it home to me. Looking forward to trying this with a group when camping in the dark!

Thanks a lot for checking the game out and giving your feedback! I'm really happy you enjoyed it.

And on the moves, I do think you have a point. I have been going back and forth on being more specific and the more ambiguous, open nature of the moves as they stand now. In the end I stuck with brevity, but definitely still a dilemma/balance to consider!

Great idea! I would love to read it!

And if you like, I would love to have my game Grey Moon Rising included. It is sort of lo-fi sci-fi solo adventure in three acts (and with three rule iterations) of exploring a forgotten land.
