Vale, and mostly write-good and Vale’s base.

It’s the currently only linting tools that I use as it seems to be the ony effective one with my writing.

Thinking of trying out how the Microsoft style rules will work with my writing. But all of this is done in the shell.

I know this might feel a bit too… Demanding from me, but having VALE or a simmilar prose linter as an addon wou help the script and manuscript writing folx who use this awesome program. Plus it would make it perfect for people switching to markdown writing from commercial stuff that is forcing s to use AI tools (ie M$).

Otherwse I wana say: AWESOME STUFF SO FAR!

I didn't know this even exists, so yeah, I wana share my narrative horror ttrpg that I made and it's using itchio to be funded in the light of being unable to use KS.

CARD VALUE LIGATURES

• ACE - As (A)

CARD SUIT LIGATURES

The logic is that firs the suit then the card value goes. So  a two of hearts would be: Herc Dvojka.

We don't abbreviate colour, instead we use J as Džoker, so Crveni_J works!

Definitively would find this awesome. And would open up the option of full collaboration with most folx from my country.

Hmm as names are important in the aspect that I'm doing for not sure how to call the game yet... Fenjer? Dveri?

But I'm thinking of adding local ideas of folklore to be in the actual language used. To get over a few "overlaps"

Good day everyone. I wanted to know your opinion on using localised names with or without IPA pronounciation guides for the games?

As this is a Folklore Jam, I think that language is important to the whole stich of the Jam.

So not sure how to approach this.

Btw due to the fact that I was kinda out (was traveling and at a contect) forgot to tell that I sent the prize!

There are two options for that:
1) You can either pick a game up to 20€ and I buy it for you on itch.
2) I send you the 20€ over paypal.

As Socius Ergala said:
The, choise, is, yours

Honestly I wanted to see how the idea of X-card, comfort flower, scene changes, lines/veils can be used in the whole design process

But still good. I think I might have the need to do a new description for the jam next time.

Checked it and looks awesome. Cool system as well! I see it's an abridged version of the core rules!

Good start and loved the idea, but as Naomi said, I didn't see the safety tools anywhere. Good start thou, and loved the atmosphere it's eager to create.

Maybe a bit too ambitious for a short amount of time. Worth for giving the Open Domains Licence thou. Would love to see the fully fleshed out version!

I would say that a bit more accent on safety tools should have been made for this.

No, not exactly. It's about conflict in general. Can be any kind of armed conflict.

Yay! I honestly won't be able to check it before monday. I have a release today. (both real work and on itch)

Hey folx! Just a checkup. Have you?

Been drinking 'nough water?
Exercising? Going for walks?
Taking time off?

If you have been taking proper care of yourself and had the time to write something for the jam. Feel free to post any kind of updates here! I mean we're 10 days away from the end of the jam!

Ok you included both Murder She Wrote and Silent Hill... This i going to be good!

You can also make it fun by having the players have to add Threat when shifting out? Making them have to play safe and only engage in the Dark Mode when they absolutely need and feel comfortable doing so?

I'll send a copy once I'm at my pc.

I read the title page, and the existing forum threads, but still want to make sure. So, if I understand correctly, you are making your own RPG system, and the jam is for making an adventure module fitting it? Like the adventure module with choices, described difficulty checks (ore something similar), non-playing characters, combat and the like? Is it the case?

Honestly yes and I can provide the rulebook for free. It is inteded to be a scenario or story of any length, none needed it just needs to follow the 5 rules mainly set. I generally have no preference on how "long" it should be. Can be from an one-shot to a lengthy campaign. You have the whole month to make it.

Does it have to be interact-able like pdf with hyperlinks\twine or just text with described ways of adventuring is enough?

Text is well more than enough I think.

Are there unique setting elements that must be used?

None, this is a narrative horror rpg framework, closer to GURPS, the idea is to use the themes and saftey tools to induce a horror feeling for the players.

Also, very important, you are saying that winner gets a prize, but all participants also retain they rights. Now, let's look a little in the future. If your idea of custom rpg system succeeds, will those modules be used commercially? And if they will be, will authors get paid their royalties?

The modules will be under the Open Domains Licence. Meaning that ANY modules are still their property and I get 0% of the cut on it. It's their work so they can sell it. The modules will not be used by me any more than just linking them maybe in some promotional material that "x has made a module for the game, find it here (link to the itch store of the maker)". Meaning that ANY and ALL work done for this jam remains theirs. I will NOT take the modules NOR use them myself unless they allow me to, and if I do use them, they will be ONLY available from the makers themselves.

I believe in a healthy community which works towards making games and content. And to do so, I believe that stuff like PbtA and other such systems are needed. I'm therefore trying to make this system just that. A framework on which others can make their own horror stories.

Hope this answers the question. If not, feel free to ping me with any other questions you have.

I noticed that some people don't know what bleed is so just for that, I'm placing the full document here!

Hello everyone. In case you folx don't have rulebook and want to make the game fully within the system. I can give you a free copy! Just ping me on twitter or via email to give you the itch key for it!

Ok here's a bit of literature.

What I call a Saftey Flower apparently is a Support Flower!

https://dtwelves.com/gaming/safety-calibration-cards/

Thank you for the question. And sorry up front for my incoherent explanation!

The idea here it to have safe tools presented in a way that they are actively incorporated into the story to allow the players to fully immersive experience.

As the game takes on a bit of a nightmare turned reality thing. I actually once used a semaphore to denote the Saftey Flower for the player ingame. All semaphores showed the exact colour of the support flower, thus making everyone aware that they can push their boundaries a bit more once the knew that the Saftey Flower was in place.

Does this explanation help?
