Three lines, and I have everything:

• Which edition : Ask the Sky (English) or Liseciel (French).
• Where : the part and the page, or the heading, or the address on the site.
• What you see : paste the sentence if it is short.

Add it as a reply here, or open your own topic with the “typo” tag. No screenshot needed, though one never hurts for a layout problem.

Worth reporting: a wrong word, a name spelled two ways in two parts, a rule that contradicts another, a link that goes nowhere, a PDF that will not open or prints badly, an appendix that still says what a part has stopped saying.

One more, and it is the kind I want most: the English edition is translated from the French, and the French keeps moving. If a sentence reads oddly in English, it may well be the translation rather than the rule.

There is no wrong question here, and none too small.

Something to know before you worry about bothering me: a question is a report. If you had to read a passage twice, that passage is broken, whatever the answer turns out to be. The answer costs me a minute. What it tells me  (that the rule did not land) is why I opened the board.

Ask in this thread, or open your own with the “question” tag. Say which part you were in, if you have it to hand.

And the reverse is welcome just as much: if you settled a doubt on your own and played on, tell me what you decided. A ruling you invented is the strongest signal I get that the book should have said it itself.

You drew it, you looked at it, and nothing came. Which one was it?

The book claims that a card never tells you what it means, that you decide, tonight, and that this is the whole gesture. That claim is easy to make in print, and it is exactly where a first game goes quiet.

So: the card, the moment it fell, and what you ended up writing. Or what you did instead. If you reshuffled, say that too. I would rather know.

Not "did you finish" : nobody finishes an ashcan. Where did you stop, and what were you doing at that moment?

- "Part 6, I was trying to name a wager and could not find one worth the trouble."
- "Halfway through the first scene, the phone rang and I never came back."
- "I read to the end without playing, and I am still reading."

All three are answers, and the third is as useful as the other two. The place where a book loses someone is the one thing I cannot see from my chair: I can tell that a page was open, never why it closed.

One sentence is enough.

My own table, and a game I played. The staging was arranged with AI, and the writing did not come through that pass intact. The deck is the Lubanko Tarot; the book works with any 78-card tarot.

This board exists for one thing: the pages you write. Not reviews, not praise. What came out of your notebook.

Post an excerpt. Any length. One line is a post. You do not have to tidy it up first, and you do not have to write in English: I read French, and for anything else we will manage.

If you remember, say which part you were on and which cards fell. If you do not remember, post it anyway.

What I do with it. I read every one, and I answer. What you post here stays yours: nothing of it goes into the book, or anywhere else, without asking you first and naming you the way you want to be named.

Tag your topic when you open one. “play report” for what you played, “question” for anything the book failed to make clear, “typo” for a wrong word, a dead link, a PDF that misbehaves. The tag is a convenience, not a gate: an untagged post is a post, and I read it the same.

No itch account? You do not need one to reach me: the feedback page at askthesky.pages.dev/en/retour/, or mikael.liseciel@gmail.com. The board is public, the mail is not. Both land in the same place.

Ashcan edition: the book is complete and playable; it is not finished. Tell me what breaks.
