Possibly! I couldn't really say without knowing about the other game, but hacking systems together is a very solo RPG player thing to do :) .

Yep, I've added a few!

Love the premise here! I also really liked how you all build on each other's theories as you play through the rounds. Nice work! :)

Absolutely crushing! Thank you for sharing the ending to your game <3

Great game, Myrmidont! I really love how you use the three different coloured dice to both set and resolve the scene, very clever! And using the sticky notes as the polaroids is a very cute idea!

Just added a few more :) .

I'm so happy to hear you've enjoyed the game! Thanks for sharing this, it's made my day :D .

Then thanks for the support! 😁 

Just added some :)

Just added some!

Sure thing, friend! :)

Hey Raul, it will be a separate purchase but I'll be sharing snippets of it on our discord as I develop and playtest the new rules further :) .

Feel free to email us and we can organize a community copy for you :)

I added a few! Please feel free to grab a copy.

If you miss out again, send us an email via our website :)

Hey friend! Just added some, so please feel free to claim one :) 

Great question! The key differences are:

• Caught in the Rain (CitR) uses a standard deck of playing cards to act as not only a timer for the mystery but also the clues themselves compared to an accumulation of progress points and asking the system if you've done enough to solve the mystery in mythic.
• CitR creates a framework of scenes specifically designed to lead to finding clues compared to Mythic's general scene system that is applied to its mystery rules.
• CitR uses dice resolution rules with fail-forward mechanisms built into it to ensure that the mystery and the narrative keeps moving forward even if it becomes more dangerous for your investigator. 

I love mythic and I still use it as my go-to GM emulator. Tanya is a big inspiration for my solo designs :) .

There you go, friend :) 

Thanks for including Grimoire in the video alongside some other really great games. I'm very honoured!

I hope you enjoy your adventures with your wizard! You'll also find the expansion for Grimoire in that bundle too that takes you into deep caves :) .

Welcome to the hobby and thanks for supporting the bundle :D . And thank you for the kind words! There are some really awesome TTRPGs in the bundle of different styles, so you'll hopefully get a good idea of the breadth of the hobby from it :) .

Hey,

Yep! You are correct. Those 3 cards define the shape, vertices, and lines. The other features are decorative elements you add on to the spell from other cards or, when you complete the spell, inspired by the cost. The idea is to give you a solid foundation for your glyph that you can easily add to if you're feeling inspired or leave as is. It will look nice either way sitting alongside your various journal entries.

Grimoire can be a punishing game, so make sure to consider the cards that have already come out before you decide to quest or research. Also, I suggest playing with these rule modifications if you want to reduce the difficulty:

• When you perform, simply discard the card without modifying your spells if a matching suit was drawn.
• When the prompts on a card are exhausted, don't completely remove the spell. Leave it as is.

I hope you enjoy the game! :)

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to play :) .

I'm glad you enjoyed the game even though it was over in 10 minutes lol. Poor Mindalf! It's good to keep track of the cards in the discard pile, so that you can take more informed risks about when to research vs when you should quest... With that said, there is nothing you can do about the jokers haha but the game won't end until you draw the same coloured joker multiple times over the course of the game (or you hit one of the other end triggers).

Hey! Thanks for your interest :D . I just added a few more community copies, so please feel free to grab one. I've started working on a sequel to the game that is so far involving a complete reworking of the underlying systems (and it will also be professionally edited like my most recent game, Caught in the Rain ;) ).

Great work! I love the cover and I'm so keen to play this with the other ravens :) .

Another space vampire game! What are the chances!? Love your choice of art!

No, thank you! It's helpful feedback. I'll probably reword that section to make it clearer :) 

Hey! The forward slash is the delimter for those lists, so you have:

• 1-2: 1 thrall
• 3-4: 2 thralls
• 5-6: 3 thralls.

Thanks for sharing, Colg!

We're very happy to hear you're enjoying the game so far.

If everything keeps going smoothly, we should have the physical books soon!

Hey! I've added couple community copies, so feel free to grab one :) 

No problem! I hope you enjoy :) 

Hi darkwizard94, I haven't added any additional community copies as there's been no purchase recently. I've added a few copies just now in case you're interested :)

Please do! Keen to see it and give it a play :D

Hi RadarMars!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Grimoire :) . It's good to know that the printer-friendly version is helpful for you!

I'm happy to hear Grimoire helped remind you about your enjoyment for writing using writing prompts too. It took a great deal of time to write these prompts and balance them, so I'm always happy to hear that people like the prompts!

If you've enjoyed Grimoire, there are plenty of other great solo rpgs which use writing prompts too such as Cartograph or Thousand Year Old Vampire here on itch.

Happy wizarding :)

Hi Robotron80,

Thanks for reaching out! Looks like I completely forgot to make the updated printer friendly version available for download here. It's now available via your GRIMOIRE download page :) .

Let me know if you have any issues accessing it!

Yep! This sentence is referring to the row of cards you will create as you develop your spell, so each card will provide a prompt. For a particular card, you always use the first prompt, and when you generate a prompt again from that card you then move to the second prompt :) . I hope that makes sense!

Hey roamingjaguar,

Thanks for your message and for supporting the Palestine bundle! I really hope you find some joy in Grimoire :) .

As for your observations:

1. The table is a d66 table, so it is designed to have 2 6-sided dice rolled with the first giving a tens value and the second giving a units value, much like a d100 would be rolled with 2 10-sided dice. E.g. a 4 and a 1 on 2d6 would give a result of 41. I think I'll clarify this in any future versions or updates to Grimoire, so thank you for highlighting it!

2. And this is another element I'll highlight to help avoid confusion. It does imply multiple locations due to the expansion a d possible future expansions. So sorry for the confusion!

Thanks again, and happy wizarding! <3

Thanks for the compliment! So happy to hear your enjoying it 😁

Hi Rlollis, thanks for reaching out and your interest in UNEATEN. This game has been a work-in-progress for a while, and I have a long list of playtest notes for its next version (which will definitely include some examples) :) .

As for your questions:

1. The "element Modifiers" are the bolded text which are the challenges you must overcome with your survivors on the supply run. Those at the top of each rank section is one you always encounter, and the modifiers at each suit section is in addition to the base.
   E.g. Your new card you have drawn is a Ace of Clubs and your previous card was an Ace too. This means you challenges are: Zombies (5/+wound/+danger) and the house fire with the family (5/-/+guilty). The minus symbol is a typo here actually, so treat that as an empty element 'o'.
   
2. For the first encounter, only draw 1 card. The encounter will be just the base Ace encounter on the table for the card's rank.
   E.g.  Jack would result in zombie (5/o/+wound).

It's not a very intuitive set of tables that drive these supply runs, and is one of the parts of the game that will be changing in future versions.

Hey IamTheLibrarian, 

I'll add 10 copies so please feel free to grab one and I would love to view your review :) .

Hi Oscardiggs,

Wow! This is a great analysis and I love it!

The consort action is a very risky action which may not always be the best option, but then again, sometimes you need that coin and don't want to risk losing progress on your spell or some other desperate situation you have laid out on your comment.

Though, I will clarify that you should be replacing bonds when they're exhausted, so it is always a 50/50 chance of a positive or negative outcome when taking the consort action.

Additionally:

• Bonds are assigned to each suit (page. 10).
• Cordial Person does act as a clubs bond with some the same consequences when they're encountered.

It reads like you have a great winning strategy for Grimoire! I hope you're still able to enjoy the game :) . The bond mechanism is something I would likely change when I revisit Grimoire, not because it's filled with risk, but because I would want to make Grimoire be a less oppressive and difficult game mechanically.

Thanks again, Oscardiggs, for your analysis :)
