Hey itsmio, the full PDF is not available yet, it should land end of January. Right now you have access to a 90p preview google doc.

Hey Clojjure, no you should have received them via email, it’s automated. Would you like to contact us via the store contact form? We’ll sort this out

Don’t worry it’s all good, your project looks amazing!

Hey folks your game looks very cool, I wanted to let you know that the Found Footage of the Bay Jam, is a tabletop RPG jam, not a video game jam. However, we’ve discussed with members of the community, and we decided to accept your submission because it fits so well the theme. If you’re into tabletop RPG as well come and say hi on the server https://discord.com/invite/37XBQVr7eP Cheers Iko

What kind of info is missing from the blogposts you’d like to see? I’ll see if I can help with that. Also we regularly share more info in the server. I get the discord issue (same here) but unfortunately it’s for now the easiest way we have to keep in touch with the community.

You can play the game for free off there’s plenty of sessions in the server, players often don’t even own the game.

Yes your first post was a bit hurtful. I get that was’t intentional.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Take care

There’s no community copies because the game isn’t finished and laid out yet. Once that’s is done we’ll release a public SRD. In the jam page there’s links to free resources, blog posts and such, that’ll get you started with what you need to design. Alternatively you can jump on the server and chat with other members of the community and play the game. Or none of the above.

Updated!

Iko chiming here, thanks for asking and yes! I’ve just send out links to KS backers and TLBS pre-orders, you should have a new message in your inbox, if not feel free to ping/dm me.

Thank you so much for the feedback, comment pushed to the designers. We’re also working on a text-only web version.

Hey Spike! thanks for reaching out, of course!
Logos are available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iPDar2UNSMt_1knlxOW67kg3T_6Guype Cheers!

Hey, the itch autolink modified the link, should be fixed now

Hey thank you for your comment, that’s really exciting, I’ll check your game. Are you a member of the TLB server? If not you could join if you’d like, there’s plenty of great and kind folks there, who are exchanging ideas about design https://discord.com/invite/37XBQVr7eP

Lastly I’m glad to meet an Arab indie RPG designer! I often found MENA designers to be tremendously underrepresented in the indie RPG scene. But that’s maybe just me looking in the wrong places. The scene is so vast and fragmented.

Hey! that’s a great question. You can just update your current submission adding a new file/and removing the older ones if necessary. Once you update a “game” itchio suggest to publish a devlog to announce the update. Alternatively you could announce it in the server (if you’re a member, if not here’s a link to join)

Hey! that’s a very cool submission. We wanted to double check with you if you’re aware that this jam is for pen and paper games only, not video games. That said, as your game fits the theme of the jam, we’re ok to keep it as a submission, we just wanted to double check if you’re aware of the nature of the jam. Cheers.

Hey! thanks for the feedback, I’m glad it’s useful!

Hey Kyle, thanks for reaching out. I’m so glad this is helpful!

Hey ashe, 100%, that’s very valid. There should be redundancy, so to speak, on how important info is conveyed. Thank you for your comment.

I’m glad you mention that about the Scars, one effort with this new version was to simplify the mechanics and weave them more into the setting. The Will of the Forest is awesome. Thanks for having shared your thoughts, that’s really cool.

Hello Karizma1, I’m sorry I missed the comment for some reason. Thank you for the feedback, that’s exciting! Have the PCs met the hitchhiker? BTW we’ve been updating the mechanics quite a bit, do you have access to the Reborn preview doc? (not sure which file/version you’ve snagged)

Thank you!

Hey, RNR thanks for the reminder, I somewhat missed the email approved!

OK, if you preorder the book now on our website, you’ll have access to the digital files as well (and I can provide an itch key if you’re more comfortable with itch). Right now we’re not planning to offer discounts for folks who have bought the game on itch. Not saying it’s not going to happen, we don’t know yet. Hope this helps.

Hey, to clarify, are you looking to buy a digital copy or a physical one?

Hey 100% enough to start DMing!

Hey thanks for reaching out, I might do that closer to the end of the year!

Not before the book release early next year But we’ll be soon sharing a condensed version of the rules for free on our website, something like this (this is the Spanish version) https://www.thelostbaystudio.com/blogs/inside-the-bay/la-bahia-olvidada-guia-de-inicio

You don’t need to buy it again, it’s the same itch page If you’ve bought the first look you have access to this I’ve just updated the page name

Hell yeah! It’s never too late

I’m glad you liked it :) What’s You Are Here? I’m not familiar with it

Wait, you had me at Herzog. As a doc producer and filmmaker I’m sold. And as a RPG retailer I’m going to ask: when is it going to be available in print?

This art is so good!

Awesome Feel free to come and meet us in the server if you need rules clarification, or just want to make news friends

Sure thing. The price is identical to the Kickstarter digital tier, and this itchio game/page is kind of a preorder. Right now you have access to a 40p quickstart and to the legacy edition (called First Look) but ultimately we’ll upload the full game PDF, which is a 140-ish page book. If you’re on a budget I recommend joining The Lost Bay server as we regularly add more community copies, and announce it there. Also ultimately we’ll share a text only bare bones, rules only verssion. Hope this helps

Yes of course. You have access to all the updated files that will be uploaded here, and this includes the final PDF

Oh dang! Thanks for letting me know, your comment on Appendix N made me realize that I should have updated it a bit, I rewrote/added a bunch of items. Aiming at a D66 table.

Great post Josh. Last Voyage of the Bean Barge is truly a great adventure, but I haven’t run/played it yet, and reading this analysis of the game design structure, informed by your experience playing it, is super inspiring.

I loved this dungeon that takes you into the lair of a fallen tech billionaire. With just a few rooms it offers so many possible exploration routes to the adventurers. Art lovers will particularly dig the portals (not spoiling too much eh). On top of all this, The Art Lover is a perfect illustration of Jennell Jacquays’ design principles

Added a handful right now.

It’s a module for The Lost Bay I mean everything is adaptable but stat blocks are written for TLB

Hey Kalamity9 thanks for backing the project and for the kind word. Well, the good news is Freedom Sounds is filled with music by David Blandy! It’ll come both as an audio cassette and mp3s.
