As someone who is Jewish by blood with family members who are Jewish by blood and practice, I can't stop smiling at the description for this game. I look forward to reading it in full <3

Absolutely will do! I'll probably wind up with a solo play first and get a feel for the game. I might be able to figure out some things for ramping up the difficulty to test with my friends ;)

Oh that's clever! Fantastic job :)

When I first saw the submission, I was expecting the usual take of most cryptid games: either play as a group trying to find proof or play as the cryptid itself and wreak havoc. This was a very pleasant and fun twist on the trope! 

Oh wow! This looks like the sort of compact game that I always try to create and winds up wilting away in my WIPs XD Seriously, this looks like a lot of fun and I want to try it out with my group. Also, bravo on doing the heavy research to avoid the other countries <3 That had to take quite some detangling at times.

Oh that sounds amazing :D

For now I'm just planning on reviewing Rooster and Owl before submitting it. It's based on talking animals folklore. My partner has Native American blood (it was written with MiniNewt, our child, in mind), we live in the States, and I used to love Aesop's fables when I was young.

I do have some ideas for folklore that's closer to home in a couple of different ways. In the major city closest to us, there is practically an underground city right beneath it. Most of it has been closed off for safety, but we took a tour a few years ago of what's still open to the public and they have a fascinating history. I might make a map-making game based on them, though I'll want to look up what some of the more popular ghost sightings were X3

I've also been wanting to create something about golems. I'm Jewish by bloodline if not by practice, and the bits and tidbits I recall about them have always made me smile. I'll have to do more research (my ma never had an interest in stories involving them so she's a poor source of info), but I think it would be neat to have players create a golem character who is charged with protecting a town, or maybe a golem looking for a new purpose after their original need is complete.

This is exactly what Spooktacular Bookmarks was made for! I can't wait to see what others come up with!

Due to my own issues, I had to remake the bundle ^.^;; Please accept asap, I apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you! https://itch.io/b/2646/superstitions-myths-and-folktales-ttrpgs

If you received an email to approve the bundle that had no link, here it is: https://itch.io/b/2646/superstitions-myths-and-folktales-ttrpgs

I was so focused on making sure all the games made it in this time that I blanked and Itch.io won't let me send another through there for 24 hours. Please make sure you're logged into itch.io under the same account as you submitted games in before clicking the link.

I removed games from the bundle who only had one form of contact and didn't yet accept the previous bundle to help limit the need to remake the bundle a third time.

Oh awesome, thanks! I just double-checked and it was the PDF, at least on the phone for me. The second version really helps with that!

The blue font is a little hard to read in both style and color, but the ideas there are pretty awesome.

Oh nice. The instructions weren't exactly the first thing I noticed, but it's a clever way to build an island! I love the variety!

The art! The meals! The trades!

I think this might be my favorite entry so far!

Oh cool! I love that there's a tiny risk of losing your hand XD Great way to make it less than a 1 in 6 chance.

Oh wow, this could be op in a game, but you balanced it out well with Vertigo.

Wonderfully spooky with great questions to get the mind going. The legibility is a bit rough with the font, but still really nice.

Very evocative, and I love how the questions guide you into imagining yourself or your character there.

Very open-ended with great horror vibes. If the book "I'm Thinking of Ending Things" went about the plot in a different way, I could so imagine this setting there.

Oh this is clever. Harsh conditions for the mechanic, but quite interesting.

Oh I love this! It sounds like a great thing to introduce to a table of younger players in case they get stuck <3

Wonderfully creepy in all the best ways!

Thank you so much!

Hey Krystan! Others have approved the bundle, so did you make sure you were signed into itch.io before clicking the link? It can be strange like that. 

Hey there! Unfortunately there are no private messages on itch.io, but your game was accepted into the bundle! Please accept here: https://itch.io/b/2643/superstitions-myths-and-folktales-ttrpgs
Due to time restraints and the fact the bundle can't launch until *everyone* approves, I'll message you directly on the game if this doesn't reach you by next week. Thank you!

No worries, I'm glad I caught it x3

This looks amazing and I want it in my collection to play with MiniNewt in case we ever move out she has a friend who does.

The only issue is it looks like you forgot to upload the game x3 It happens sometimes, but I look forward to reading it!

I am all for creative interpretation! If you can with in 2d20 in some way, even a small way, I'd call it a total win.

The bundle will be running in September, but a WIP should be fine :3  A good way to advertise it is that customers get early access with the final version ready for the spooky season.

As an old MST3K fan, this looks amazing XD I might need to nab it to play with some friends!

I'm so excited to check this out! It sounds like the perfect combo!

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for addressing here how the x-card has been abused x.x I have my own horror stories with it.

Palette seems like an interesting option vs Lines and Veils. I'm a huge fan of LaV, but the tables I've been at turn the lists directly to the GM so no one else needs to know, so we can be open and honest without feeling any embarrassment. I thought that practice was the norm, and I'm surprised it isn't for the very reason you prefer Palette.

Absolutely XD If you enjoy the system, it's called xd6! You should be able to find other games that use it, too.

Oh this is so much fun XD I love how thematic the rolled options are.

Oh this is a great take on the prompt! I like how you made a separate set of rules for solo, too :3

This is great XD And I love all the roll tables!

Lol! FWIW, I have a friend who loves Studies in Sorcery *because* it reminds her of those times XD Among other reasons, of course x)

No worries at all!

I just checked the game and it looks like it's going to be a ton of fun to play! Especially for those who have had to get papers published before x)

This looks like so much fun! I think I'm going to print it out to play with our friends when we take our trip down south!

This looks like it could be really interesting, but it looks like you forgot one key thing: to upload the game X3

I've done it a few times over the years, so I totally get how that can happen.
