I think it would be pretty demanding on the MC, and a number of playbooks are designed to work off of and support a team—there's an entire set of mechanics around teamwork. However, if you think the MC of your two-player game can keep up with a sidekick-strider, then it might work out well!

The internal errors should be fixed now! Hope your game is now easy to run again.

I think this is a timeout error, so if you run into it, try running the same command again. I'll see if I can set up a more permanent fix over the weekend. Thanks for being so diligent about reporting errors!

should be back up once again!

Should be back up; thanks for the heads-up.

This is actually the best place!

I don't maintain one, but she should be back up now!

enjoyed the english translation a lot! looking forward to updates

Sure! Feel free to contact me at kavita@leafside.studio.

I do not! You'll have to content yourself with the digital version.

So I should! It's linked at the bottom of the page now.

Hi; this is going to be patched in the next update! Hopefully that'll come...soon.

They do not! Investing personal xp is the primary method of crew advancement.

Oh, thanks for catching this! I'll update it in the next patch.

I'm looking at the PDF of the main text and the crew sheet, and they both seem intact to me. Maybe try redownloading? If that doesn't fix things, please show me a screencap and I'll see if I can figure out what's going wrong.

Just patched this ("age of miracles"); thanks for pointing it out

It's not impossible but it's a years-down-the-line timescale if it happens; abandoning print was how I managed to get the project done at all. Still, I'll be sure to let folks know if it ever seems like it might come together.

Unfortunately no; Roll20 requires a paid subscription to edit sheets. The Google playsheets linked on this page are the officially-supported solution as of now.

I don't have any plans for a pre-launch discount, but I'll probably consider a post-launch discount! Additionally, I don't keep the money I make from this game anyway; it generally goes towards relief efforts for Palestinians.

i'll consider this! no promises about how fast it'll get done, but it's on the docket

i haven't included this; like position and effect in fitd games, it would just be sparks repeating the name you give it, without really changing the roll outcome. however, if there's a use for this that i'm not aware of, please let me know.

hi! sorry i missed responding to this. i haven't included this because it wouldn't change the roll or its output; the bot would just repeat whatever position/effect you sent it. if there's a use for this that i'm not aware of, please let me know!

should be fixed now!

I'm not sure! I've yet to look into that process, but I might do so once I have 1.0 released.

This should now be fixed!

Thanks so much! This has now been fixed as well. As a heads up, Sparks currently responds with a somewhat generic message for 0d SbR rolls because the various SbR systems are somewhat inconsistent about how they deal with such things; this might be patched in a future update if the scene settles on something concrete.

This was, in fact, purely the result of me accidentally telling Sparks to roll a d12 for these instead of a d10; that has been fixed as of posting this comment, so you should be good to go. I'm unsure about how the "did not respond" error came to be; it's possible it might just be an error on the host's end. Please let me know if it continues to be an issue, or if you find specific conditions that can reproduce it!

The /help command will give you one if you've invited her to your server, but I'll also copy that text to this page; thanks for the reminder!

you're completely right; i changed things up recently and it's not there anymore. find the invite link here, and i'll update the game description as well.

yes! it's linked in the pinned tweet on the game's twitter account here.

My personal life's been far too busy to really make it, sorry! I'll see if I can get something out in the Discord soon-ish.

Please feel free to email the game's email address, songsforthedusk@gmail.com!

I'll take your feedback into consideration!

Hello! I apologize for the error; the comment was deleted by mistake, and I couldn't find a way to restore it. That said, I'll do my best to address those concerns now.

I don't believe the Witch's note encourages gender essentialism at all; I made a point of being very clear that the feminine traits I encourage players to express in their Witches are socially determined, not biologically determined. (This is to say, the traits I list as examples are considered feminine in many specific societies, but are not biologically feminine in any sense.) The transmasculine and nonbinary people I've encountered so far haven't expressed any discomfort with the note or what it's intended to communicate, but if the topic does come up from such a person, I'll be happy to clarify.

I also vaguely remember your comment expressing surprise that Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts wasn't cited as a touchstone; Kipo was released after the v0.4 edition of this game, and its genre, while close, is slightly orthogonal to what Songs is intended to be.

there will be in the v0.5 release! the hope is we can get that out by january.

this is such a good and sharp playbook!

right, but the problem i was having is that in story games you also very much play a role! obviously in OSR you do this too, but i'm trying to figure out what separates them, rather than what they have in common

yeah that makes sense! bringing the strength of roguelikes and tabletops together

i was trying to work this out in a discord server and i basically ended up summarizing it like this; would you say this is an accurate description?

factions are pretty much the same! i am trying to break away from the downward spiral by being really generous with teamwork maneuvers so that you don't have to burn through quite as much stress; basically trying to make sure that teamwork can bear a lot of the load that used to just crumble under the weight of doskvol.
