Hey! I'm glad you're enjoying the game so far, I'd love to hear about how it goes! :)

As a note, if you're a backer of the game on Kickstarter you should definitely have received access to all of the digital files via both Itch and BackerKit, so if that's not the case please message me on Kickstarter and I'll work that out for you. However, if you bought the physical copy not through Kickstarter (at Breakout Con?), I can definitely send you the digital files free of charge of course, sorry about that! 

My X account is... basically not used anymore, sorry, so I wouldn't have seen the message there. It's also notoriously bad for not showing messages even when I was using it, so I likely missed it even if I did log on. It's best to reach out via Bluesky if that's an option for you!

I can issue you a refund really easily here if you'd like, but please message me on Kickstarter (if you're a backer) or Bluesky as it's easier to manage than X. :)

Hi! Thank you so much for wanting to leave a rating, those are always super helpful. :) When you go to "Rate this game," it should give you a little text box to leave feedback as well as the star rating. Let me know if it's still giving your trouble though, that is odd if so.

Ohhhh, I see now!! That's just a weird "Itch interface" thing, whenever we make a "reward" item (using the Rewards and Exclusive Content" part of the backend) for Community Copies, it shows up like that. There's no "exclusive content" gated behind it though, it's just a weird backend thing!! :)

Hi there, what exclusive content are you asking about? Are you having difficulty accessing the digital files here?

Having a read over these rules and this is some inspired stuff! Everything feels so tight and punchy, the Pitched Combat is genuinely such a clever idea, and it's just such a functional game (compliment!) for such a small amount of space!! Can't wait to give it a roll sometime. 

Thank you so much! You're far too kind! :)

Thank you! I'm surprised at how lite some of the rules writing went and was happy I could get all flowery in the prose parts! Glad you liked it! :)

Thank you!

Thank you for the compliment and the push to get a digital friendly version out, even if the image of people rotating their laptops does fill me with a certain joy haha! I'll see if I can't whip something up tonight or tomorrow, I've been slacking on doing that for another similar project so...! 

Excited to try this out this week!! Looks sick! 

Hi there!! First, I wanted to thank you so much for the kind words and letting me know about your game! I can't begin to express how happy it makes creators to know someone is playing our stuff. The Teapot has a special soft spot in my heart as my first "big" game, so I'm happy some of the elements of the design (limited scope of the character, interconnecting the eras via the Infusers etc.) seem to happening for you!

I do love this story already you've got going, like a lot. That's a fun arch of Alchemist Researcher into War Veteran that makes sense. I really like the idea of studying the tea plants in such a scientific way too, that's a fun angle. Makes me think of wine makers!

Thank YOU for playing! I'd love to hear about any further developments your little Teapot gets up to! :) I also hope it gets you into more Solo TTRPGs, there's so many good ones out there!

ah gotcha, I'll get that in tonight sorry!

Great game, easily the best way to get use for all those 5e products lying around! 

I'm so happy my little snail game got played and you enjoyed it!! To answer a few of your comments:

Tie breakers: I don't remeber if I actually addressed this in the text, apologies! It was one of those game jam games that just got a lot of crunch and definitely missed some things. I'll add those if I get around to fixing this game up a bit in the future (I'd like to!)

More Snail Stuff: Oh I love those ideas! Yes, I think beefing up the snails a bit more would do well! I'll definitely consider it, thank you for the ideas.

I hope one day, when bigger projects aren't dominating my time, to do a little touch up for this game, so stay tuned!

hey, love the minimalist vibes and prompt. I rolled a similar prompt and had a very different idea, would it be cool if I did a Pygeon Borg game as well?

Hey! Uhh, mostly just vibe checking how everyone feels if someone were to make a NOUN BORG game from a prompt already submitted? I know there ain't rules or something against that but don't want to ruffle any feathers. 

Hi! Sorry, this got lost in my notifications. Labelled as Queer for a few reasons, honestly - queer creator, queer co-creators, and in game queer deities.

Hey! Thanks for asking, apologies I realize it's a little less clear here than on the Kickstarter for the roadmap. I'll add that over the next few days to make it clearer! :) 

Version 0.7 will be coming Soon, likely February 4th/5th. Then progress continues to 1.0!

Always hyped for another Souls inspired TTRPG. Can't wait to see what this one brings!

Thank you for commenting and the reminder! My main WIP has been consuming a lot more time than I thought, but I have managed to make a template that should work to make these more digital friendly! I just need to transfer all the text into them, double check it all worked correctly, and then it'll be ready! I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the month. 

This is absolutely my favourite comment about a TTRPG thing I've done ever haha! It's absolutely at the intersection of those two. Thank you again! :) 

ALL HAIL BE TO RODERE! Squeak squeak in Their name haha!

Absolutely fantastic. Completely heartbreaking. Tragically hopeful. 

I haven't cried from a game in a good long while. Something about making a world so others could garden, do art, and cook... Just hits hard. Very wonderful, came from the TikTok as well, so happy to have stumbled upon it. 

I'd definitely toss my hat in for, "an extra week would be swell," so I can have some time to playtest my Realm rather than rushing it out! 

Hey! Totally fair request, I do a lot of my TTRPGing online too so! I'll see if I can find some time over the next few weeks to format these and create a screen-friendly version to be downloaded! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words!! :)

Thanks for reaching out! I'm hoping to be able to offer that, yes!! I'm going to look into if it's possible to, either through Kickstarter or the BackerKit once we're in that phase. :) So stay tuned (following my Twitter might be the best place to keep up to date on that though, but I will make an update for this game to let folks know too!)

I'm really excited for this Jam! I'm thinking of doing something a little... Safe? Going to do a twist on the Dark Souls 3 storyline of awakening Lords of Cinders to reignite the First Flame, but you're a Firekeeper and it's... slightly less "Chosen Undead beats up a lot of Guys" and more navigating that role of catalyst and diplomat almost. 

We'll see! I'm giving myself two weeks to "play around and have fun" after LORDSWORN finishes as a mental reset! 

Hi!! No worries at all to ask, I completely forgot to add some more community copies here! So thank YOU for asking! I've added another 100, enjoy!! :) 

This looks absolutely lovely! I'm going to see if I can get my players to play this after our mini-campaign finishes up -- sounds like the perfect pallette cleanser before jumping into our next one. Can't wait!!

What a fantastic and timely little game! I can't wait to try this with some friends, will report back when I do! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'm so glad you're enjoying the system! Magicks and Tactics were really fun to make fit into such a tiny frame, glad they're seeing some play! :) Keep an eye out over the next day or two, might be a... fun content drop coming... :D

These are so cool!! I'd love to make something with them, if that's okay? :)

Ohhhh that's exciting! I'd love to hear about the setting and your game when you get the chance to run it. :)

And no worries at all! No pressure to, but appreciated! Thank you! I'm hoping to get the next stage of the game content out Soon, so stay tuned. :) 

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found my little game and hope you enjoy it! If you end up playing it, I'd love to hear how it went for you and your table! :) 

Hey! Absolutely loving the jam, it's inspired a seriously whacky game about valiant Snail Knights at a jousting tournament. Sadly, June has been... brutal for time. Is there any possibility of a week or two extension? Wanting to put the best slimey snail foot forward for this project, but understand if not! (I'll just submit a barebones version and touch it up later.) :) 

Ahh thank you!! Hoping to get some time to get the character booklet out, got quite a few fun mini-expansions for this on the way! :) 

Ack! I'll try to have that as an option should I run another Itch Funding for sure.

Oh yea, for sure! I'm not on that server, feel free to add me though! Going to comment my username below, then delete that comment once you add me haha. 

It makes me so happy to hear you're enjoying it! Thank you for playing it. :) I think the Teapot is a great game to play slowly too, really let the story steep (sorry, had to!) :) You'll have to let me know what your Teapot gets up to! 

Hmmm, I've tried something that might work? I've made another Reward Tier called Pay What You Can! If you've claimed a Community Copy it might not let you though, but in all honesty just hearing you're enjoying it has been wind in my sails! Let me know if that works. :)

Hi there! :)

The Slightly Steeped version comes in at around 30 pages. But, these are like full Letter Pages! I'm working on reformatting it for the Fully Steeped edition to A5 pages... I'm expecting that one to be in the ballpark of 40-45 pages?

Let me know if you have any other questions! :)
