What are you inspired to make? 

Don't know? Feel free to brainstorm here!

I'm thinking of putting together a small supplement of all the rules, Reputes, and Factions that were cut out of the final game due to space. If I'm ambitious, I may add a Grave Level if I can test run it at a local con next month. 

Of course! If you e-mail me at ethan@glyphtide.games and include your itch.io e-mail, I can send you a download code. 

Good question! It's a little of both, really. 

Recalling the quest tends to be a fairly collaborative part of the game, especially for the Heroes. But like a GM, the Evil Player is allowed to make "hard moves" such that they have "final say" over how an Event the Evil Player recalls plays out. 

During the Final Fight, the Evil Player is definitely taking on more of a GM role by playing an antagonist. 

(Not sure if this explanation helps at all 😅)

Hello! We're working on the complete version of the game now, and it's scheduled to be released end of Q3 2025. The game will be distributed to backers first. After that, folks who weren't able to back the game will be able to purchase the game (digitally or physically)! 

Hello! Definitely interested, you can reach out to me via email at hello@ethanyen.com 

This is amazing, what a story you crafted! Thank you so much for sharing!

All thanks to the wonderful Francita!

Thank you!

Thanks! That particular line is inspired by a myth from the Atayal people indigenous to Taiwan! 

Purple Ooze (1d10)

Roll Style: Roll normally. See the Sticky ability below.

1: Damaged. If the die is a d10, remove the die from your HP and add 2d8 to your HP. If the die is a D8, remove the die from your HP and add 2d6. If the die is a D6, remove the die from your HP. 

2-4: Acid. Change the result of one touching die by -1.

5-8: Sticky. Any dice touching this die are rolled by the GM, not the player, for the next round. 

9-10: Change the result of one touching die by -2. 

Frostmancer (2d6)

Roll Style: Roll normally, however, if any of your dice are touching the wall of the dice tray, then the results effect all player dice that are touching the walls. 

1: Damaged. Remove this die from your HP. 

2-5: Icicle. Change the result of one die by -1. 

6: Ice Wall. All players' dice touching this die remain in the dice tray at their current value next turn if it is not a 1. 

The game text is the same. Ver 1.1 has the latest cover design.

Thank you for sharing your story! It is so humbling to hear this game was able to help you through your loss.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! Taquito is the best boy. 

Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
