See… lol what's crazy about this story is that this is the average pinball related story… I'm telling you, there is a vortex that shifts probability around them. I can't even begin to consider a reasonable estimate for how many peoples first existential crisis was pinball related.

Pinball machines are some of the most psychedelic encounters we can have as children.  I think that’s why it’s so easy for your mind to spin out and create this whole scene (it sounds fake to me but I don't think you're lying more like you had a kind of casual hallucination).   There is something about pinball machines that is just so chaotic, sometimes I think they are a bit mystical even like Stargate that we don't know how to use so we just pull the little thing and tap the little buttons. Because they are so powerful there's no way that they are just games.  You can really notice this if you ever go into an arcade without pinball machines, it just feels like sad like a video poker room at a truck stop. 

I know this is off-topic but I was thinking about this last night.  Just related to everything I wrote above and how powerful they are…I think that is why the little flippers at the bottom  are so pathetic.  They are the only thing we are able to control and they are so worthless. But because everything else is so hyper stimulating we just anchor ourselves there, and for that reason they sort of have to be worthless and pathetic?  I don't know, but I do feel like the moment that the pinball went right between the flippers for the first time for me, at a distance such that no matter what I did I could not stop the pinball from passing me by… I felt like that was the moment I realized that life was going to have a lot of disappointments, and most of those disappointments would be from unfairness. But the desire to blame – or tilt – is so strong that we spend so much energy raging against this unfairness that we can't just admit that our flippers were never long enough to have a chance.

Lol sorry that prob wasn’t helpful but yeah I never saw this one, are you able to remember any thing to the left or right of the machine? Sometimes when I look to the peripheral of a hazy memory I'm able to pick up more.

Hello PR!  Have had physical copy of Fallen for awhile and love it, but had to go all in on the Exalted Funeral Bundle with the cards while supplies lasted, and glad I did.  Had a question though that I can't figure out - I received all of the files in advance of their shipment, and I have all files from my DTRPG PDF purchase from sometime ago and the only thing I'm wondering about is the "world map" that is mentioned here on itch.  

I was going to do a playthrough of this on my channel tonight but I'm a bit of a completionist when it comes to things like that and so I have two questions: the first is is there a world map that is different from the Hilgraab map OR the blank hex maps in the Campaign notebook (i.e. is there an "illustrated" world map)?, and second - if so, is there ANY possible way I can get that without buying the game for a third time here on itch.io. I assume there is not one, cause I have to Think that the $94 bundle from exalted funeral would have included just about everything, but I just wanted to make sure. I love this game, I love all your games. I love everything you do.

This is an unbelievable creation Alfred, and I had to make a video about it.  Just a quick, 15 minute video (that eventually turned into about 1h43m, you know how I roll, but my bit on Slew starts at 59:46): 

PLEASE keep us posted for when the full edition is released!!!

Of course!  It was easy to give a review like that, and I am so glad you felt validated because I do not think enough rightly deserved validation is going to the places it needs to go in the world these days, especially to independent artists.

I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

No Thank YOU Alfred for this amazing game.  The review is up: 

Alfred, excited to review this tomorrow on my YouTube Channel and, since it has been out for a while, I might even do a more extensive playthrough than other channels have (with a spoiler warning of course).

I have two questions:

1. What does it mean when you write the bracket plus and minuses in the handbook?  i.e. [-] or [+].  Is that something so simple I'm missing it like roll for advantage/disadvantage or is it something else?

2. Do you have any idea if GusBC is cool with people playing the soundtrack underneath the vocals in review/playthrough videos?  The soundtrack is one of the most amazing albums of last year and I would hate to leave that piece out...

If anyone sees this and wants to check it out, I am on Youtube as "Man Alone" or @amanisalone

Thank you!!

hello I know you don’t want to read this but please I have no shame please do one more reprint thank you
