Looks very easy to learn and to follow, but I miss some more flavor here, as the info about the city itself is very scarce. Are you planning to add some more tables, i.e., with some city-specific places, maybe some NPCs who would help to create an overall vibe? I see lots of worldbuilding potential here

Hi, I imagine the number of the people/creatures met to be summed up at the end of each day and then, based on that number, the fates decide if something got broken that day or not. Then the next day the counter resets, so each day you start with a 'blank page' in terms of how many client you may serve, but the unfixed issues accumulate (they don't reset).

I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly, so feel free to let me know if that doesn't answer it :D

Hi, I made the lists to draw from them, but also to get inspired (and I didn't want to make the sheet overloaded with text), so feel free to come up with your own ideas for the clients :)

Hi, thanks a lot! Feel free to get inspired and don't let my examples stop you - all the lists are short because of the format constraints, so by default they're there more to let you know overall vibe the game aims to, but it's you who plays the game :D

Oooh, would it be ok with you if I translated the game to Polish (no AI, only my skills)?

It's great - simple, yet very touching, and the liminal vibe to it all adds some spice!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the work you've done is very impressive, especially all the backstories and epilogues you came up with, I love it!

I like the idea (reminds me of a Pratchett's The Long Earth), and rules are very simple and well-explained! What I miss here is a small oracle to help creating a story what's happening during one's stay in a different world, but the game is cool as it is now :)

Super original and fun, potentialy very messy (literally and metaphorically), I like it :D

It's both dark and enchanting, I love it (especially the grunge aesthetic)! As there is also a compatibility logo, what's the license V&C is under? One of the Creative Commons?

I understand now, thanks :)

All clear, thanks for your time <3

Oh yes, now it's easy to read - it wasn't about the text, but about the typewriter-like font, which is great, but I imagine some folks might appreciate the version where the characters are more distinguishable :)

Hello, that's sooo cool, I love how 'let the fates decide' merges with analog books and tech (and it's great to support wiki as well!). I have a question though - as I understand, I should draw tarot cards when I don't have idea for a spell, but how 'spell's approach' affects how I should arrange the words? How should I understand 'approach' or 'type' (there are both versions between the files) - or maybe it's open for interpretation? 

Rolling doubles looks dangerous :o Great game, one must be careful though not to be caught staring! The only downside I noticed is that this font is quite difficult to read, have you thought about adding i.e. a plain text edition with some font that would be more legible?

I would think then that someone decides my fate in a cafe, watch out for some fighting music!

Looks like something that might help change lots of harmful modern habits, good one!

I have two questions:
- why only a week? Wouldn't a longer time span create more opportunity to actually create a new analog habit?
- why reflection comes only after the game finishes? I think it would be nice also to encourage to journal everyday to catch some thoughts and emotions on the fly

the brochure looks spectacular, good job! the game seems to be challenging and i'll definitely try it; have you thought about adding some story prompts, so that it's not only slaying and buying (an 'oracle-ish')?

The amount of barely-covering clothing, muscles and that body oil in a chest makes me want to run this dungeon immediately xD Good work!

Happy to read that, and that it resonated :)

I hope it'll be helpful :D

Thanks, glad to read that <3

Hello, it took a bit longer than expected because life happened, but the translation is live!

Gęś z gęślami mnie rozwaliła xD Szalona rzecz, te wszystkie skreślenia i zamazania tekstu też bardzo w klimacie, super robota <3

damn, mate, I just feel like you looked straight to my soul, I cried inside

Nooo, I tried to warm their void heart, and they destroy the world? Luckily I satisfied the cat. Great game, thanks!

Terrific writing, art and music, thanks for this

Broke my heart, thank you <3

Sure, understood :) It's just that when I read the text, it wasn't exactly clear to me what's the mode of play (team or solo),  but now I see it, thanks for explanation

Very grim, I like the suggestions of how the world is much, much bigger than what we see and that this vastness is terrifying. I couldn't figure out though - is this a solo game?

Aaahhh, that's so good, even though the game is short, it evokes such a strong vibe, can't wait to play it!

Would it be ok for you if I translated the game to Polish? No AI, only my skills involved :) 

Just read it and I must admit that it's an impressive work, I wish I had a chance to read it when I was starting to GM. If you'd think about some adjustments, I'd suggest playing a bit with layout, as such big chunks of text become difficult to read on a screen very quickly

Just reading this is quite intense, I imagine what would it be like when played. I'm both scared and curious to find out.

Sending praise across the void, as it's a powerful thing to make someone feel so ambiguous (or even just feel strongly) through words - good work, Lex :)

Hi! I'll translate the game soon - it's a pretty long text so it'll take a while :)

Hi, thanks for this game - I only read it so far, but definitely going to give it a shot! I liked especially the disclaimer at the end about the non-straightforward censorship (a teenager meticulously crafting a message to their crush might be the most strict self-censor).

Would it be ok with you uf I translated this game to Polish (no AI, only my skills) and released it for free (as you did), with proper attribution and stuff?

Czołem!

Jak widzicie, udało się zdążyć ze starterem na jam, ale to nie koniec naszej przygody. W najbliższym czasie przejrzę skład edycji barebones i poprawię to, czego nie wyłapałam wcześniej i co może utrudniać odbiór tekstu, a w niedalekiej przyszłości pojawi się porządna, wybajerzona wersja startera! Powoli kroczymy też w kierunku podręcznika, ale skupiamy się na najbliższych wyzwaniach :)

Jesteśmy w intaczu!

Przeczytałam i jestem oczarowana - świetna rzecz, pełna humoru i przemyślana, no i jeszcze ta sumeryjska bogini przyzwana przez malarzy-okultystów, fest gra :D

Przeczytam do końca tygodnia na pewno i dam znać!

Czołem!

Jako że pojawiły się pewne niejasności w kontekście zasady o użyciu AI, a wiemy, że internet nie działa już w ten sam sposób co przed pojawieniem się sztucznej inteligencji, przegadaliśmy sprawę i uściślamy:

• podczas jamu nie używamy generatywnej AI do prac nad tekstem, ilustracjami czy składem - ogólnie na etapie przygotowania samej publikacji;
• zasada nie dotyczy researchu.

Pamiętajcie, że to jam dla ludzi, a nie robotów, więc jeśli potrzebujecie omówić jakiś pomysł lub przydałoby Wam się wsparcie np. przy redakcji czy czymkolwiek, zachęcamy do łączenia sił z innymi osobami!

Hej! 

Jeśli masz już tekst, ale potrzebujesz beta readera, redakcji lub po prostu drugiej pary oczu, która spojrzy na Twój projekt, zgłaszam się!
