Very cool mission, love the way the Red Cell kinda has a "pack tactics" thing going with their armor increasing when they're together. Cool locations and themes, this fits the jam theme perfectly and I like where you took it! 

Ambitious, detailed and incredibly fun. Everybody loves a heist, but this one has so many moving parts, maps, NPCs that it makes it easy for players and refs to navigate the intricacies of performing one. Great stuff!

Short, sweet and deliciously simple. I love the motifs here and the open-endedness encourages play from both sides of the referee screen. I'd love to see this expanded upon in the future, maybe with a chessboard element but that's just because I love a good external component in my ttrpgs. Still, the information for the referee and the multiple ways players can tackle this (along with the time constraint) makes for a great mission that is a great contender for convention play.

I'm such a huge fan of your work and this series of portraits you've been publishing have been invaluable. I used some of them in my latest mission for FIST: Ultra Edition and credited you <3

I'm so glad you liked the overall style and the racing stuff felt satisfying!

I do agree with you that the ending could've been tighter on my end, in truth the pressure from the jam did kinda create a "tack this on" moment where I didn't have time to workshop a more satisfying optional ending (or multiple endings). I definitely think it'd be stronger if something like having to confront a fleeing Remo or setting up for a final confrontation in a government building where you have to capture Remo for the Detective might feel like good alternate "win conditions" outside of just finishing the mission with the race. 

In either case I definitely wanna revisit the ending portion of this in the future and I appreciate the constructive criticism <3

An amazing onboarding tool for FIST. Very easy to follow and will get more people playing which is always a good thing!

Very cool supplement idea, a campaign over a dedicated calendar is inspired!

The layout is so so good, love the use of colors and the portraits are fantastic.

Manages to fit so many fun things into one little pamphlet. An erupting volcano with unique time-dependent rules, fun NPCs and vehicle combat? Sign me up.

Thanks so much for the compliments! And PLEASE run this with your group and let me know if you do, I'd love to hear how it goes <3

I'm so happy that the SPEED mechanic is coming through, I was so nervous about that. Playtesting was key!

Thanks so much for the kind words <3

you get exactly what we're going for, really appreciate the post here and the comment on the mission's page. you rock!

so happy you like it!

"my doe is too silver, my garden too sunken" will be my new catchphrase for the next month, thank you for that.

and thank you so much for the amazing compliments!!!!

Who doesn't love a good homage to the GOAT of espionage games?

My favorite layout designer is back! Love the manual, can't wait to see the next update!

It's an adventure designed for a group of 3-5 players. It can be a little difficult for smaller parties but with FIST there's always Tactical Reinsertion, allowing you to get a new merc in when a player character dies. I'll definitely have to add a recommended player size to the page!

Vermis was absolutely part of the vibe we were going for! Thanks for the kind words <3

We're so glad you like the adventure! We're still recovering from holidaze but have resumed working on the Complete Edition! Should be out in the next month or so :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad that the mission vibe came across in such small space, glad you enjoyed it! If you run it please let me know <333

A short and concise mission. Love the use of the flooding submarine trope with a cult-injected twist. The use of blood is evocative and I love the idea that the more you kill cultists the more it floods. I'd love to see a version of this mission that's maybe page longer with a tracking tool or chart for referees to keep track of the blood level on the submarine easier and maybe some key art thrown in but as it stands I think this is a great example of how a FIST mission should be written.

Pitch perfect module layout, would love to see more example adventures or even a campaign in this setting in the future.

Thanks so much for the high praise! Glad you enjoyed the mission :)
And that's a great note, I uploaded a Printer Friendly version to the itch page as you suggested <3

Wow, thank you so much for the amazing praise and constructive criticism. Couldn't agree more, these rooms need to be more descriptive to get the mood across and set the scene.

XEPHION was a jam submission and it was down to the wire so we had to be very bare bones with the writing but we are working on a Complete Edition where we will beef up the document as a whole, this note will definitely be taken into account during our revision process!

Very unique entry! It was a little hard to read with everything in italics, would love to see a version where italics were only used for important details. Good job!

Very nice layout, easy to digest. Love the tables and cool premise!

Wow thank you so much for such high praise! We're so happy that you felt we hit the mark with the Alien and Metroid inspo and that it was an enjoyable read <3333

Your notes are great and honestly we wanted to included a time table/evolution countdown section but we just didn't have enough time. And coin values is such a good point, totally should've been more thorough about such a central theme to the game. But definitely look for both to be addressed in XEPHION: Complete Edition after the jam is over!!

Thank you for the kind words and constructive criticism :)
Definitely going to revise some of the wording in a Complete Edition after the jam is over !

Insanely cool treatment here, this layout is gorgeous.

Thanks so much for the kind words!!!
This was our first attempt at an adventure for Knave, glad that you liked it!

I'm so glad you like it! We are currently working on a newer version with updated rules and art that will be available to anyone with access to the current version that should be coming out within a month or so (fingers crossed). We will absolutely go live with a print friendly version!

Finished reading the entire book over the weekend and I am floored at the style, detail and spirit of your game. As a person completely enamored with the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime as a kid (and an avid player of Magic the Gathering as an adult) bravo. I am so excited to run this game for my friends!

Question for you as a fellow game designer: will you be expanding on the game with third party content/game jams? I would LOVE to write a sourcebook/campaign for your system with a cool badge on the cover and proper attribution. I know you're busy with your backerkit rollout but I would love to see some third party assets/resources in the future if you were interested!

So happy you're into it! We are currently working on a new version with updated art, rules and mechanics (and will be available to anyone with access to the current version). Can't wait to get you the update!

Very cute lil game, I liked the use of Pixel Nook's assets.

Absolutely phenomenal presentation and graphic work. If you developed a second version or sequel with a full cast of characters and story I could see it going VERY far.

You're also a great writer! Can't wait to see what else you make in the future.

Hello! I made a game last year that involves using a deck of playing cards and I was wondering if that would be okay to submit to the jam?

I'm not sure if there were explicit rules on the entry having needed to be designed exclusively during the jam time frame. 

Thanks!

Sorry, been a busy month! Working on a small update for the current version at the moment and will publish a pages format at the same time! Should be within the next week or so!

Wow, thank you so much for the glowing review! And I agree with you. The Dying Man could be a little more fleshed out. I'm planning on making an updated version with a few more pages where I can give him a whole section for future referees.

Happy to hear your players enjoyed it as well! Can't wait to pub the full campaign :)

Thank you so much for the feedback and kind words!
