Thanks! If you run it I'd love to hear how it turns out.

Awesome!

As it was foretold!

Absolutely, Mork Borg's style definitely lends itself to experimentation :) Old Book Illustrations is such a good resource, I've found a lot of cool stuff there.

Cool idea! I love the Lovecraftian vibes. I might recommend, on a spread like this, not stretching the text all the way across the page. At least for my ADD addled brain it makes it tricky to read. I also quite like the art, it’s suitably dreary and really evocative of being deep underwater.

While the art and layout is great, my favorite thing here is how open-ended and playable it is. I like that it’s a decision point for the players, and that The Shrouded Sovereign is deadly without necessarily being a party wipe, and not fighting them is just as (perhaps more) rewarding. Excellent design!

I like the tone a lot. This is grim and dark and very useable and flexible. Nice work!

Great work! I really like the map design and the way you communicate traversing the cave on the map with more room detail to the side. Also, it’s great that you included rumors, it’s always more entertaining with some seeded (mis)information.

thank you!

I like it! I think it would be cool to see more exploration of the ‘time-torn’ theme. You nailed the gunslinging!

Excellent and wonderfully disconcerting. The concept is very Mork Borg, and really well executed. I did at first think it was going to be a class (I don’t know why I thought this), but I do think it would make a good class if you wanted to expand on the idea.

The artwork is fantastic and the writing is really evocative! Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorites. Awesome work!

Nice work! I think it’s really clever that you included a monster/npc version of the class.

You really captured the dream sense on this. The layout is very unique and I am totally here for it.

I really like the poem to go with the monster. I think having a hook to get players to them, or possibly a situation in which The Forgotten Darkness shows up would really help flesh it out. Nicely done!

I think this is a really cool idea! I’d be curious to see a little more story to underpin it, and/or some additional guidance for how to use it in game.

That spider monster sounds troubling. I really dig the map :) 

Awesome style! Very cool and unique monster.

Thanks!

I love this! It's so evocative and the design is impossible to look away from. In terms of feedback, I think technically, that is not a gibbous moon. Also, it would be cool to have a story hook to help GMs get the players here. Fantastic creation!

Great thoughts! Thanks for the review :)

Thanks! They really are terrible children, he should disinherit them.

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it

Thanks!

Certainly :) I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for being so supportive of the game! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mM0sEXRsKpttZnEHfChLS5oDixfXnAzv?usp=sha...

Thanks!

It’s true, I actually drew the knight for turnip several years back.

Thanks!

The PDF is part of the Magenta Pages of Cy, so the image is indeed the only available standalone version.

Will do, thanks!

1. ‘Loot’ abilities are resolved by the player who killed the monster.

2. ‘One Use’ abilities can be used any time during your turn.

Glad I can help!

Locations: 
- When a card says 'Heal 1 HP', it heals that damage from Scum. You are correct that you do not have HP, just Miseries.
- If Shrine of Greed is destroyed, place it in the crypt.
- If there are no Monsters in play, you *must* Explore. That can be Location that is already in play, or a Location played from your hand. If there are any Monsters in play, you can only Explore by playing a new Location from your hand; you cannot Explore a Location that is already in play.

Scum
- Scum abilities can be used whenever you like pretty much.
- You do need to make an Attack roll (D20) for Trage's Surprise Attack.
- (power) abilities do not replace your Attack. A (power) can be used once per turn at the start of any Phase.

Loot
- If the Monster ability were, for example "Loot: Draw a card", that would be an ability you carry out (i.e. draw the card).
- If the Monster ability were, for example "Loot: A Weapon", you could play a Weapon from your hand for free.
- If you have no Weapon, you can still fight (and must sometimes!), but you only deal D2 damage. Like a Scum, you only Attack once per turn.

Hope this helps!

Howdy! I hope my answers can help you out.

First off, I'd recommend having a look at the demo video for Plunderlust, our spin-off game for Vast Grimm. It's the second video on the kickstarter page here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creaturecuration/plunderlust-trading-card-g...

On to the specific questions:

What happens if I haven't drawn a location card, or if I haven't drawn an enemy, or if I don’t have enough silver for an enemy (lurk phase)?
-- When playing solo, if you haven't drawn any Monsters, then you are safe from Monsters until you draw some! No worries there.
-- If you haven't drawn a Location, then you can't play a Location. If for whatever reason this means that you have no Locations in play, then you will have to play the highest cost Monster in your hand to fight. If there are Monsters in play and you cannot play a Location from your hand, you will have to keep fighting those Monsters. If there are no Monsters in play and you cannot play a Location from your hand, you can still choose to Explore a Location that is already in play.
-- Keep in mind that you aren't actually spending your accumulated Silver to play Monsters on yourself during the Lurk Phase. You are simply playing Monsters that cost less than or equal to the amount of Silver you rolled during Exploration.

Can I simply choose a card from the deck during the buy phase?
-- During the Buy Phase you can purchase Scum and Equipment from your hand, not from your deck.

In the explore phase, if I play a location card, do all the monsters in my hand attack me?
-- After the Explore Phase, during the Lurk Phase, you will play Monsters that cost less than or equal to the amount of Silver you rolled during Exploration. Then, during the Fight Phase you just fight the Monsters that are in play.

How much equipment can I carry with me? Do I keep my equipment from round to round? How many sums can i have?
-- You can carry as much Equipment as you like, no encumbrance, and it sticks around from round to round. Only "one use" Equipment gets discarded. Likewise, you can accumulate as much Silver as you can loot.

Happy Gaming!

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the game!

Thank you! Thanks for organizing the jam :)

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the game. I know you're into print & play games, but if you're interested I've got a sci-fi (Vast Grimm setting) set of 7:7 decks on Kickstarter right now. I'll likely be doing more print & play decks in the future as well though. Happy gaming!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/creaturecuration/plunderlust-trading-card-g...

Absolutely! You can play the decks against each-other and/or swap cards around in them for new solo dungeon crawls.

Awesome stuff! I'm very excited to see your 7:7 cards!

Glad you got a chance to play the new deck! I appreciate the questions as they help me see what I've left insufficiently clear.

...

- Rules says when you explore you get +10 silver for each location card you control, but the reference card says when you roll Explore die add +1 for each previous location. What applies?

- - > They're just different ways of phrasing the same effect. Sorry for the inconsistency. I'll make sure that's cleaned up next time I'm updating the rules.

...

- If you not play a Location card you MUST explore another location you control, but, if you dont explore, you must play the most expensive monster or a Boss. So, if you can choose not to explore, you must not explore.

- - > The 'if you didn't explore, play the most expensive Monster' rule applies on the off chance that you don't have a Location in your opening hand, or your only Location is somehow destroyed (like Temple of Greed). If you have any Locations in play, you MUST explore one of them, and if you have any in your hand, I would recommend playing one to explore.

...

- D8 random encounters in a reference card, when applies in the game?

- - > I can see how that's unclear. That card is for using the deck as a Mork Borg adventure.

...

- It would be great a little gameplay with pictures or a video.

- - > There's a diagram in the new updated rules doc (Dying Alone), but the upcoming Plunderlust kickstarter should include a how-to-play video, so stay posted!

...

Enjoy!

Oh, I know exactly how that goes :) Well if you do, I'd love to hear how it goes!
