itch.io

If folks are interested in purchasing, I have a few videos showing off the game including a flipthrough of the free demo which I've linked below.  To be clear, this isn't the full game but throught it still might be helpful.   I am not affiilated with the author, just a KS backer.

If anyone is interested in a Detailed Walkthrough, I just uploaded a video.

Hey, Cody.  Question.  I am ready to do a video review of the game on my yt channel, RPG Frequencies.  I have created a table in playingcards.io to make it easy for someone to play the game online.  The only thing at all that could be deemed proprietary is I have a section to list the monsters you are fighting and I use their names.  I do NOT include stats or anything.  I would like to offer the table to folks for free to usse to help them play the game.  Just wanted to get your permission before I did that.  Please let me know.  If you'd like to discuss first or see the table, you can reach me at lordgwydione@gmail.com.  I will not release the table without your permission. Thanks!

Instant purchase!  Can't wait to play it.

Makes sense with one follow up!  My point on the Wizard is that I read it that the max number of spells you can cast per quest is Magic + 2 (pg 40), so minimum of two spells.

However, to determine which spells they can "memorize or choose" per quest, it appears that is "up to" their Magic stat (pg 41).  Unless there is a minimum of one I took this to mean if my Magic stat was zero then I couldn't choose any spells.

Maybe a houserule would be a minimum of 1?

Thanks again for being patient with my questions!

Awesome!!!

More questions/comments!  :)

Fleeing Combat

On page 39, it states in order to flee a combat you roll 2d6 and add your Wits.  If you roll equal to or lower than the enemies DS the combat ends.  Otherwise the enemy attacks.  Given wits is added, it seems like the test should be equal to or greater than the DS?  Is the text a typo or is it intended to be equal to or lower and your Wits score actually penalizes you?  Thanks!

Companions - Wizard

Just confirming. Does the Wizard give you +2 W or +2M.  I could see it go either way but the books says +2W.  If it is +2W as written, if I'm a human guardian with a wizard companion, then I could never use Greater Power as I would not be able to learn any spells as my Magic would be +0.  Is that right?

Locations

Just a nit but the table on page 24 shows the following:
1-3: Gain 2 Tracks

4-5: Draw 1 being

5: Draw 1 Thing and gain 1 Track

I think the final "5" should be a 6.

Oh wow!  Hope you are still working on this!  I'm in!

lol.  Yes.. I should have considered running as well and just got fortunate with the dice gods!

Combat - Quick FYI

This isn't a complaint as much as I thought it was interesting and going forward I might houserule something.

My first combat I was against a River Troll.  My Elf Hunter had found an Iron Soul which gave me a d10 Defense, but -2CS.  My CS was +3 so it became +1.  Given the Troll's DS was 10, it was challenging for me to hit given I only had a +1 CS.  When I did hit, my bow as a d6 and his defense was a d8 so it was still hard to damage him.

When I lost the round, given his atk was a d8 and my defense was a d10, it was difficult for him to hurt me.  We went through probably 6-7+ rds without anything happening.  Certainly makes some sense but got a bit grindy.  I might houserule something that after 3 rds of no dmg to either party I might say we both take a hp dmg or something just to keep things moving and have consequence.

Hope you don't mind the feedback.  I'm really enjoying this game and want to stream a playthrough but just trying to get the flow down first. Thanks!

Another question.  When I create a character am I allowed to take up to three companions?  I did not take any at the start as I thought I might have to "discover" them, but it appears maybe I could add up to three when I create a character?  Thanks!

Awesome!  Thanks for a great game and the quick reply!

Love the game so far!  Will do a playthrough video at some point. Few questions as I’m playing through. 

1. Do accessories have to be used to get the bonus?  I'm an elf hunter so I get 3 wits but I also have a cloak with 1W in my starting equipment. So do I always have +4 now?
2. If the enemy wins initiative and gets a free attack I assume I can still roll my defense for my Armour?
3. One of 25 the locations section says some locations will list beings or things. Looking at the locations table there are no things. Is that a typo?  There are things in the events table. 

thx!

Question.  If a creature has two Combat Dice, I assume you roll them both and take the total as their attack roll?  Similar to if you have two Reserve Dice you have to combine them?  Thanks!

Really looking forward to playing this!  Hopefully this weekend!  Thanks so much for releasing a free demo versino!

Just corrected the title!  So sorry about that!  Uggh.. Apologies for getting some of the rules wrong!  I didn't see any other playthroughs out there so I just tried to figure it out.  I'll try again for sure.  I had fun either way even with messing some thingts up!  Thanks for commenting.  Feel free to comment/correct on the video if you want.  I never mind folks telling me when I get things wrong!

Ok.  Played through the entire first adventure.  There are spoilers as I played through the entire adventure!  You can find it below.  Let me know what you think!

Hey!  So I downloaded and plan to start an online playthough and post on my yt channel RPGFrequencies.  Might have some questions befor i dive in.  Looks like a fun solo game!

Awesome.  Let me know what you think if you end up watching the whole session.  Thanks!

Ok @bannerless games.  I finally got time to play and upload the video.  Had a blast.  Let me know what you think!

Still haven't played yet, but I created a video on playingcards.io and I show off how I created a table for lighthouse at the end of the world.  If anyone ends up watching, lmk what you think!  I'd love to be able to release the table if @bannerlessgames is ok with it.  The link below will jump directly to where I talk about lighthouse.

So here is a preview of the table I set up in playingcards.io.  Simple but I think it will work well for recording or livestreaming.  The "block tower'' counter is because I plan to use the 100 dice simulation to draw blocks and include my current block count.

The d6 is for the daily/weekly rolls and the "marbles" next to it are tokens that I can use to track the spirits if/when I draw the A of hearts.

Hope to play soon.

Oh!  Cool.  Lol, I was about to make this challenging game even more difficult on myself!  Makes total sense though.

Question on the "Dead Man's Hand'.  Does this trigger if you pull two Aces and two 8's over the course of the entire game?  So you track how many Aces and 8s you pull during the game?  Or, does it only trigger if you pull two aces and two 8s for one day/week?  I assume the former.  Thanks!

will do!

I put this game into playingcards.io so I could play it virtually and record/stream it.  I did a similar session with Whipsers in the Walls and felt it went pretty well.  Looking forward to playing this and hopefully posting my session on yt!

Purchased and just played. Had a blast. I recorded and thought I would share. Caveat is I’m not a great storyteller and it got a bit dark!  Hope it helps folks understand the game a bit. 

Question.  I purchased the Lantern and LOVE the files you created for playingcards.io.  I made some updates/enhancements for my table and happy to share with you if you are interested.  Just let me know where to send (email, discord, etc).

I plan to stream some playthroughs in english shortly and will record to yt.

I purchased the additional characters from the Jam Session and didn't realize they were only in spanish.  Any chance you have the digitial cards in english as well?  No worries if not, I'll figure something out with google traslate or something.  Thanks so much for this game!  Can't wait to play it this weekend.
