Whoops, that was terminology inherited from Heart/Spire and not properly explained here, my bad. Noting this down for an update on the PDF: to "Refresh" means to clear your Stress by performing whatever your refresh action says you should do. You clear an amount of stress (D4, D6, D8, etc) dependent on how fully and how dramatically you perform the refresh action.

That really is funny! I'm so glad it worked out, and I imagine having competing interests must have been so funny at the table. Thank you for telling me this :)

Hi! That's so awesome, I love to hear that! I would also love to hear how your game goes.

I've uploaded  "Lex Ecclesiastica Character Keeper v2.xlsx", which you should have access to. It hides all the data-only sheets and fixes a few remaining bits of text from Heart (like the Resistances on character sheets 2-4)

I'm very excited to read solo rules for this! If you write/publish them you should definitely include them in the inevitable Lex Ecclesiastica jam I'll eventually do.

Only just found out about the jam and the discord link is expired, could I trouble you for an invite? So excited to get to work on this.

This is so wonderful to hear! I love this. Do you happen to remember who did the session or what booth they were manning?

Absolutely! Thank you so much. When I see the payment I'll put up community copies for sure :)

Hi! Making this post as a big idea board. Use this space to talk about your plans for the jam, to find collaborators, to get help if you need it, to gauge interest in your ideas or anything else you want!

This is a tabletop RPG, not a videogame, but if I ever get footage of people playing RAD and the players consent, I'd be happy to add actual play footage on here!

Hi! I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed the game.

And don't worry, you've not missed any updates - the game content has been identical since release. Maybe the update was just adding spreads/pages version for the pdf? I honestly can't remember, sorry!

Hi! I think this plays really well with two players, in my experience. The one thing you'd have to keep in mind is that when you Get A Read On The Academy, you will likely have to have each player represent more than one person or group involved.

Hi, thank you! I do not, currently, but I can make one after work today :)

Yeah exactly! One kind of dice makes the number go up and another makes the number go down, and the net sum/subtraction of all rolls lets you know how many spaces to move on the table. Let me know if that's still unclear please!

Thank you so much! This is such an encouraging comment. I hope you and your friends enjoy this :) be on the lookout for a future RAD jam

Thank you so much! And yes, I'm currently talking to various publishers to figure out the best way to get this printed.

Hi! Of course, that would be wonderful :) I'll DM you a link to the non-ashcan edition so you can print that one if you prefer

Hi! This is so thorough and detailed and also extremely valuable feedback. Goes to show that no matter how much playtesting you run, everyone's going to have a very different experience with a game. Online play aids (in the form of a semi-interactive Google Sheets doc/character keeper) are in the works and I'm 100% looking forward to eventually getting around to a Cantrip Second Edition that incorporates this + other issues people have encountered, especially in terms of play examples and how the book itself is structured. 

Hope you all continue to have fun despite the gripes!

This is so sweet! I'm so glad you're enjoying. It can certainly be a pretty demanding game for players so I think you 100% did the right thing giving it a GM for your table (I assume it's kind of like a full-time facilitator handling all the Aspects at once?). I hope your game keeps going strong!

Hi! So sorry for the huge delay on this, but I've just added new copies.

Just added a few new copies :)

Just added ten new copies! 

Hi there! I've added ten new ones. If they've run out by the time you see this message, let me know and I'll DM you a key :)

This is wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for the kind words. And yeah I love the BIG FONT Francita picked, it makes it extremely legible even with the slanted paragraphs

¡Hola! Sí, las copias que tienen Exalted Funeral, Knave of Cups, etc se las compran a SoulMuppet (la editorial) así que sí, de cualquier lado que lo compres me llega la plata de un modo u otro. Muchísimas gracias <3 (también podés comprarle directamente a SoulMuppet pero no sé qué ondis el costo de envío). ¡Y muchísimas gracias por las lindas palabras sobre el juego! Espero que lo disfrutes una banda.

HI OMG??? I found this by pure chance and I am delighted by it, it's such a cool concept for a playbook! I've been eyeing the book it's based on and it also looks really great so I'm looking forward to reading it. I am so honored you made this. Do you mind if I link to it and credit you on the main Cantrip page?

Hi! It's not in my plans personally but I've been itching to make a Cantrip jam lately and people are more than welcome and encouraged to create boywitch content! I'm very intrigued about it too and I'd love to see what people come up with.

I don't think there's anything stopping you but also you'd need to bend the mechanics to figure out how to play both a character and as Aspect at the same time. Likewise, the Get A Read on the Academy option does not make sense if people aren't voting on it. Do let me know if you figure out how to make it work!

Can I help you?

This is wonderful to hear! Thank you for sharing with me. I'm so so thrilled you're enjoying this game so much <3

This is such a wonderful video! Thank you so much Philippa <3

Thank you I agree

Thank you!

As per rule #2: "Submissions must be made during the jam period specifically for the jam. No old games reposted. ", I'm not sure if the game I published and developed yesterday (before becoming aware of the jam) would qualify to be submitted (not linking it here because I'm not looking to promote). Thanks in advance!

Updated! Please let me know if you can access it.

In indie games, those types of questions are usually called "Leading Questions" and it's up to you whether you like them. In solo journaling games, players tend to prefer strong hooks in the prompts, where a fact of the fiction is "forcibly" established in the premise of the question. In other words, most people find "how did this make you feel?" far less interesting than "how did this break your heart?". "How did you achieve this?", in the same vein, is often a less interesting question than "Who did you betray to achieve this?" - leading questions help to establish tone, to drive home themes and to help kickstart the player's creative juices but like I said - it's your choice whether to include them or to be more open ended!

I'm going to be designing something inspired by The Banner Saga - in this case, the banner itself, the literal tapestry, hundreds of meters long, chronicling a community's voyage, hardships and triumphs. Lots of questions regarding who works on the banner, what is left out, what is embellished, what is included, what happens when the community splits, who holds the banner, etc.
