Lies!!!

I’m here for it!

[replying because Charles rarely does] Their webstore says that the pdf will be emailed to you when the physical item ships. https://www.feralindiestudio.com/store

This is great! I’d love to see a printer-friendly version.

I don’t have an instagram account, so when I try to access the demo all I see is what looks like the title page (sans artwork). Is there another way I can access the demo? Thanks!

Picked up the print version during last month’s Car Repair Sale.

Such a fun little diversion. Wonderful and inspiring illustrations, excellent layout and writing.

It reminds me of a game of Wanderhome I ran where the PCs hitched a ride on a windwagon.

Sweet! Thanks for following through on this. I really like it, and I’m looking forward to the physical copies - I’ve been using some content from this at my table.

The Dragon Dossier looks awesome! One reason I like your Creature Codex is the readability of the design ands layout. I have some reading difficulties, and seeing the preview image for the DD has me worried that I will have trouble reading it. I understand that what you’re showing here is more eye catching and attractive to some, and would likely sell better, but it would be nice to have a simplified layout version too for folks like me. Cheers!

Nice piece, but I generally disagree with the proposition. This isn’t just a ttrpg problem. Nothing on the internet is permanent. And I’m comfortable with that.

I see you have a neocities site; I had a geocities site, try to find it. I had a public PhishHook database, it’s long gone. Even the Internet Archive won’t last forever.

But of all the knowledge that came before, all the homebrew rules on scraps of paper, all the advice shared at the table, most of that isn’t in the public record either. And yet we continue on without trouble.

It’s human to want to leave a lasting legacy. Always has been. But never will be. Nothing is permanent.

But it’s also human nature to create. So, yes, do that. And when it is destroyed create something else.

My itch page and this comment won’t outlive me.

should be store.spellsword.net :)

For those wanting to print this easier, you can split the pdf pages into singles with PDF Arranger or Sejda’s split down the middle tool.

That’s what I did, then had it printed at Lulu.

Love this! I’ve been using it at my table. I printed the blank notice board and just attach a bunch of hooks on sticky notes. It’s a great way to remind my players what’s going on around town.

Looking forward to the final version!

Email Feral Indie Studios at the address on their website and ask them about getting a copy (give them plenty of time to respond).

Or print it yourself at Lulu dot com, or your local printer.

I use markdown for note-taking, where I might incorporate images and links to various files such as CSV or PDF. I understand that autocomplete can aid in that, and it’s not much different to just have the folder open in an OS window, but I like to see the files right in the folder pane like is the case with something like VSCode. Thanks for quick response.

I’ve noticed that many markdown editors only list .md files in their respective explorer panes, and that’s a deal-breaker for me. Before I purchase Deepdwn, I’d like to know if the file tree (appears to be called “all files”) displays all file types, or only markdown files, or some other extension filtering. Thanks!

For those looking, printed copies of Ave Nox should be available soon from Exalted Funeral, Vortak Games, and Feral Indie Studios.

Based on yesterday`s update, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/appalachia-gothic/ave-nox/posts/4180038, unless you’re a backer I wouldn’t expect to get your hands on it before October. More realistically… November or December. I hope I’m wrong though.

This looks great. Cool vibes, excellent layout and design. However, I can’t figure out how to use this at the table. The mansion is pretty straight forward. But nothing else is very clear to me.

Room 3 of the mansion says that there is an exit to room 10 of the tower, but that’s the end of the tower, not the beginning, and implies that it leads to the underground mountain.

The Tower (p20) says there are 3 floors, each with 3 exits, but there are only tables for the second and third floors, no first floor. (It took me a while to even realize these were tables of the rooms). Can you not return to the first floor?

The tower map (p23) design suggests 6 floors, most with 1 room each, leading mostly linearly.

So, from what I’m understanding you go from the mansion, to room 10 of the tower, to the mountain, and the rest of the tower is not accessible. If that’s a typo and “10” should really be “0”, great, but can I get back to the first floor? How many floors are there, 3 or 6? And do you navigate them as the map suggests or is the map just for flavor and not meant to be useful, even though it’s repeated on each page is if it’s intended to be useful?

I admit I only read this quickly, some of the text (at least towards the end where most of my focus was) doesn’t make sense to me either. For example, the woman gains HP if someone dies near the mountain, but there are no encounters there… unless the PCs die fighting her? So why do I care if anyone dies here unless she kills them?

The whole thing feels like a fever dream, but not the good kind I can run “without prep”. I’m going to guess that think this suffers from a lack of 3rd party play testing. Like I opened with, the layout is masterfully executed for use at the table, but I think some of the content needs to be retooled to make it work.

All that being said, I look forward to seeing more from this creator!

Love the aesthetic! But I think it could benefit from an alternate version with medieval fantasy-styled cover and typefaces. This is something I would pass around the table, but it would feel out of place in my vanilla fantasy setting.

Do you have plans for physical copies when it’s complete?

What a wonderful resource! And I’m only on page 7! (Pro tip: using this guidance with the tables in Knave 2e is a winning combination)

I created a map for use at my table, posted it here for others to use as well.

Because it interests me, here are the histograms for these tables (FYI you have couple typos in the d2, d5, and d12 tables).

I missed the kickstarter. Will hard copies be available to purchase from your store or elsewhere after kickstarter fulfillment?

[files missing?]

Nice little adventure. I might run this as a scenario for They Cried Monster. I think they would compliment each other well.

Unique and interesting adventure. Very well executed for use at the table.

My only recommendation is to add a link to your Patreon here or on your main Itch page so people like me who found you here can find you there too.

this is great!

Thanks!

I absolutely love the "mist" option for Glades!

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

I had thought about adding some simple roll tables for NPCs, encounters, ect. But I don't want to tie it to any setting or genre. I might just add a few tools to help a GM incorporate it into their story, like a list of vague hooks or reasons why the PCs might sit down to play. I could also add optional rules to make it a gm-less one-shot rpg in itself.

Any feedback you want to share is welcome.

Thanks! No, I haven't run it yet. Probably in the next few weeks for a group of kids. I'd be happy to follow up afterwards. Cheers!

Hi Matt! I wanted to run this adventure but didn't want to have to rely on the web page, so I made a simple reformatted version for my personal use. But I also thought others might benefit from it so I created a quick itch page for it here (the password to access to page is "mightier"). With your permission I will make the page public, or you're more than welcome the host it on your own page instead. Let me know. Thanks!

Perhaps one of these https://jamie-douglas.itch.io/beastie-almanack-vol-1 can be a Bindywig?

Here's another opinion. I like the layout. It reminds me of Into the Odd. And as someone with reading difficulty, this is much easier for me to digest. I'll pay for extra pages if it means I can read it.
