I've never run it solo! The conversation of it all is so important to me, BUT I think... 3 paints 3 touchstones feels good. I'd maybe do:

the Paints as write 4-6 and randomly grab 3-4 of them, to simulate a little "out-of-your-hands" inspiration. OR write 2-3 Paints and close your eyes and randomly point to a word in the suggested Paints once or twice lol 

And with Touchstones, I like to have a Touchstone for each that adds a: Thematic Element, Aesthetic Element, Sensory Element, and/or Tangible Element (you can see this in the example Touchstones in the book!)

Then after that, yeah if you're comfortable with answering prompts and riffing off yourself, then you can absolutely play solo!

Oh I'm so glad you've been having a good time!!

And that is a great question that I very recently also asked myself lol feel free to ignore that ruling, it kinda doesn't make sense for exactly how you described. I'm debating tweaking it for the final release (have players roll above an NPCs source?) but I also have never needed to have that happen in play lol

Hell yeah lol

Hi! So sorry to reply so late, I had missed this message. You can reach out to me at viditya.voleti@gmail.com

Perfect game for my burgeoning pool playing era!

Hi there! Yes it is, there's a lot of major updates planned and a full physical release in the works!

Digital updates have been slow due to these, but hopefully I can push something for y'all soon!

I love this game

It does! The adventure is included at the end of the game text

I love RATS WORLD!!

This was a lot of fun!! I definitely misread the rules about understanding when I'm rolling more scrap or getting rid of them, that was entirely on me so this may not be the most accurate lol I tried to retroactively do stuff so it's MOSTLY correct... I think.

Either way tho my rolls were consistently high, and Dirk went on a very lucrative scrap journey with some close calls! I'm excited to give this another (proper) shot soon

This adventure perfectly captures the spirit and tales that should come out of a game of LONGSWORD! Thank you for writing it!

Wait, that's not how I remember the story...

After a failed roll, a player may interrupt and say "wait, that's not how I remember the story..." and flip the 10s and 1s digits of their roll (a 64 becomes a 46). They will then proceed to dictate something they actually did, had on them, or was going on in order to turn a failure into a success.  

Can't wait to know what you think of it!!

Prophetic Visions

You may mark Destiny to have a strange power overcome you as you gain visions of the future. They may reveal events for the quest you are on, or even peer into the future of your or a companion's destiny, or even the destiny of the world itself.

Horse Drifting

You can make extremely sharp turns and hard maneuvers while riding your mount. Your mount does not get hurt in the process.

Make a roll (70), if you succeed you gain a speed boost for a brief moment

Fixed! Thanks again

Thank you for letting me know, will upload a new version soon

*due to how the Sun works, its rays don't count as a collision so you can still take Burn harm

It was friendship all along

The real Big Foot we were hunting was the one in your heart this whole time, actually

thank you!! I hope it inspires something :)

Beautifully captured game of two characters corresponding from different worlds. I can see this being a lovely worldbuilding experience, but more importantly, it has all the right tools to create a tangible relationship between these characters.

I specifically love the mechanics are simple yet very smartly designed to achieve the wonderful climax that is drawing the 2 jokers and being together! Lovely game!

What an incredibly executed concept! I love how the game explicitly is about seeking painful truths and unearthing lost secrets and opening old wounds but it's also explicitly optional for players in the moment. 

The two playbooks loop seamlessly and I'll be keeping this in my back pocket for a table that wants to explore these concepts!

This game really captures what it sets out to! My own high school closeted memories came out as I read thru the text and felt it's mechanics pull at experiences that I found relatable. 

I'd love absolutely love to get ready for a revel sometime soon!

GOOD FUCKING WORDS

this game struck me, powerful and eye opening. Great example of games saying a lot with a little.

This game is bleeding with style, smart design, and horribly relateable circumstances. It's incredible! 

Definitely pick it up!

Wow!! I was FLOUNDERING for words before I stumbled upon this pack! What a life saver!!

thank you!!

deconstruction? I think i meant to say distillation lol

What a really solid, simple yet effective, deconstruction of token-based systems! I love it!

Hahaha thank you!! Since most of the words were already written by someone else I thought I'd spend time transforming them with layout and context next to pictures, etc lol

Any of those games would be real great to see adapted, so whichever really speaks to you, esp cause I'm excited to see how someone would adapt them outside of how I visualize it lol

Also if you want Space Goblins, it was in the itch racial injustice bundle if you picked that up! 

thank you!
