Fabulous--thank you!

Just played this with my tabletop group and it was an absolute delight--thank you so much for making it.  The prompts are so stellar, and really took us on a journey.

One formatting question: Would it be possible to create a way to play the game that doesn't require access to a printer or loading up a million separate jpgs on roll20?  I wound up using a deck of playing cards and then just giving each number a numerical value and pulling up the prompt number in the images folder, but that is a lot of math and probably more steps than is necessary.  Even just a pdf table matching prompts to playing cards would help make the game more accessible for folks without printer access!

I'm the facilitator of the tabletop group that went ham on AO3, and we just finished up our campaign yesterday.  All the writing in the game is so evocative--we wound up using two Strangenesses as well as both Lindworm Elements, and choosing motivations and aesthetic elements for those, especially, wound up setting the tone and helping the less visual players (me) figure out how to describe scenes.  Deciding highlights at the start of the game was also SO helpful in helping us figure out what kind of story we wanted to tell.  (As it turned out, we told a story about cyclical time and liminal spaces and memory and identity horror.)  There were also so many tasty hooks in the playbooks for us to dig into as well (we had a Fresh Blood who was scared of transforming into a wolf and an Athlete who was scared of their family being tortured by wolves, which led to some EXCELLENT sequences).  Thank you for writing this gorgeous game, which fully seized all our creative output for like five months!

Oh, I love the concept and execution of this!  Depersonalization makes for such a good Strangeness.  The aesthetic elements and the end of the ritual especially are top-notch!
