Hi everyone!

Just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for joining my Birthday game jam - I'm super looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I also wanted to remind you all that we are now halfway through! There's just one month left until the jam closes on May 3 at midday UK time.

In the evening of the 3rd, i'll be showcasing each of the entries on Twitch before starting a playthrough of Innocent Goblin's The Wine-Dark Sea (gothHoblin edition) - a solo game inspired by The Odyssey but adapted to feature Furbies and raccoons, two of my favourite things. It'll be a great time and I'd love it if you could join me over at https://www.twitch.tv/gothhoblin.

Finally, if you havent joined our Discord yet, please consider doing so! It's packed full of resources as well as lovely people ready to chat and discuss design ideas and cheer each other on  Here's the invite: https://discord.gg/8SuDJKaBhY 

Thanks for reading,

Emma / gothHoblin

Thank you all for joining my little game jam - I hope you all have a wonderful time creating your entries. 

Please feel free to join our Discord (https://discord.gg/8SuDJKaBhY) if you haven't already to chat with other particpants, and make use of a large collection of resources including art packs, SRDs, articles and guides. Everything a little TTRPG designer could want! We also have channels available for body doubling on voice chat, requesting help with your entry or just chatting with your fellow jammers. The Discord is also the best way to get my attention if you need it for any reason. <3

Good luck! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Thank you!

Hi there, just wanted to ask if the numbers in a rolling table would count as words when presented this way:

I feel like this is essentially the same thing as a numbered list, but wanted to check to be sure. Thank you! 😊

Hi Adam,

Thanks so much for your kind submission. We are currently waiting on you to approve the bundle so we can put it live, could you please go to this link and scroll to the bottom and Approve the bundle? We wont be able to launch it without this.

Thanks,

gothHoblin

Thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoy it :)

Also super interested in a physical copy here if they ever materialise again :)

Hi there! Thank you so much for providing this SRD - just wanted to let you know about my creation The Cat in the Castle. This game is inspired by a French fairy tale where an heir to the throne is cursed by fae into the shape of a cat and imprisoned in a castle until they meet their true love. 

Hey, thanks so much for leaving a message! I'm really happy to learn that you enjoyed Trash Pals and had a great time GMing! Also I think you are the first person (that I know of) to create supplements for Trash Pals which is amazing! Best of luck with your future GMing and TTRPG creation :)

Hi there, the game is available now - also as a part of the Cozy Cats bundle here :)

I haven't received another email from you - you wont see approvals i dont think as its your bundle. Usually a ribbon appears across the top for participants - just using the normal bundle link

Hi Xosh,

I received an email about the bundle needing approvals but there was no link to the bundle included, could you please post it/resend? I dont think there's a way for us to get to it otherwise.

Thank you!

Hey there! Thanks for your comments. I don't have a problem opening the PDF in either Acrobat or Chrome from my local exported copy. I'll re-upload it to itch in case there was a glitch! TY for letting me know :)

The game will be available once the charity bundle launches in August :)

Gotcha, thanks!

Is it OK for me to link to a larger map file for printing purposes from within my PDF as an extra, or would that count towards the page count?

Hi there! You add the dice together only when performing actions. The city table is a d66 table that should be rolled on separately - you do not add the dice together for this, but read them as they land. For example if you roll a 3 and a 5 then you would have 35 (if you look down the number column you'll see it goes 11-16, 21-26, etc. which are the only combinations that can be achieved by reading the dice as a 2 digit number). You can roll once and take a whole row together or roll for each column to get more varied results.

Threats appear as part of the Sate Your Hunger action (which you need to do every day). 

There are 3 approaches on your character sheet - Violent, Beguiling & Stealthy. You choose which approach to use for the action you are taking, if it doesn't mention one specifically. For example if you Take a Risk, you could be smashing through a window (Violent) or trying to talk your way out of something (Beguiling). 

Hope this helps!

Hi there, thanks for your interest in my game! I've added a few more community copies this morning. I would love it if you could leave a rating and review after you play!

Thank you Stevie !

This is AMAZING! I love it!! Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you have loads of fun in your game 🦝🦝

I've added some more for you! Thanks so much - I hope its helpful for you :)

I'm so so happy to read that you took this game and modified it to work for your mobile situation! And that it was able to help with your new character as well! Thank you for your lovely comment 💖

Sounds amazing! I'm happy to hear you had a great time and I love the graphics! 🤩

Thank you!

Thank you so much! 🙏

Hi there, I'm so glad that you love the grimoires! Sorry to hear this one didn't work for you, I've just tested it myself and it downloaded without a problem, maybe try again? 

Hi there! Oh my gosh, thank you so much for your wonderful comments. It genuinely makes me so happy to read when people are getting value out of something I've created. I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoy the prompts and it's helping you with your writing. This made my day, especially as I am sick with covid right now, it was truly a ray of sunshine in my inbox!

I do actually have a bit more written about Lachlan on my website, as I used him for a playtest of another wonderful solo game "The Almanac of Sanguine Paths" by Rori Montford. This playtest is published on my website - its just a few prompts, but if you're interested to read it then you can find it here (https://www.gothhoblin.me/blog/2023/09/28/the-almanac-of-sanguine-paths-playtest). Once I get around to doing a full playthrough, I'll definitely use him again.

Thank you so much again and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy writing :)

Thats great news! Thanks so much for giving it a try and I'm so pleased to hear it was useful and enjoyable :)

Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for this game, I love it. I wondered if the character sheets are updated yet? I noticed the v0 one doesn't have the Dabbler or Arcane Talent listed under Background Abilities. 

Cheers!

Haha! Yes skunks had to get in there eventually :D Thanks for checking out the game!
