Okie dokie, I'm like seven hours ahead of that. :-)

It might be a time zone thing.  The notice says the jam starts on the 4th (for me) but the theme is released on the 5th.

Fair enough, love the style, will keep my fingers crossed.  :-)

Any plans for a flat top version of this tileset?

Elsewhere Tarot is now available. Thanks! Credit/link added.  Also added some tweaks such as mouse over and zoom so people can appreciate the artwork.  And added a minor fix for Strength/Justice, about half the decks I have seen swap those two cards.  I think it might be the difference between the Marseilles and Rider-Waite heritage.  :-)

Thanks!  I start working on that and update you when the changes are made.

Here is what I am working on if you are curious.

That is incorrect.  Itch set up their AI tagging policy on November 2024.  That policy specifically allows for AI generated content in a variety of media types. 

The purpose of that was to inform the consumer, not to bully creators.  :-)

Some interesting designs, but others need more iterations.  The way the US Copyright Office policy works, a significant percentage of the work needs to be human made in order to apply for a copyright.  So, I don't think you are there yet.

Can I get permission to use this deck in a non-commercial capacity?  I write free random generators and solo tools for gamers and I am working on a companion app for Four Houses in Chaos (a free oracle/GM emulator.)  Basically you use a tarot deck to answer questions as part of any role playing game.  While many sites will randomly draw a few cards, none of them keep any kind of history if want to 'walk' the deck and tell a much longer story.  No ads, no affiliate links, besides a link back to this page if you want me to include it.  I write these little apps as a hobby and a way to give back to the solo gaming community.  I hope to provide a selection of tarot decks so that users can match the look to the feel of their game.

My Fabula Ultima campaign is over 250 pages, so the system as some staying power because each card can have multiple meaning based on the questions and context.  :-)

Nice!  I've had some hospitality show up in past games but there are fun hooks here I'd like to see in the future for my games.  Thanks for sharing.

Smart idea to leverage the platform for info and products.

Is there an example of this in play?  I looked at the text and it seems like it is a bit of a fever dream.  :-)

I created my own to fulfil the oracle role.  Sorry about the late reply.

I saw a question on Reddit and I thought I would share it here since I did not have an answer.

"Can I use a confidant's hangout prompt if it fits into my moment prompt?"

Woot!  Glad to see you made it to itch.  This game has such awesome replayability with multiple ways to win and styles of game play to try out.

Are you familiar with oracles and their use?  They are GM emulators and the way they work is not by adapting the rules so much as adding procedures to help in GMing yourself.  (Most solo play is a matter of wearing multiple hats for player and GM.)  Let me throw out a few links and you can check those out and see if the idea clicks for you.

Given the right tools, most group RPGs can be soloed.  I'll have to read the rules to see what would be a good fit (Just bought the game.)  Sight unseen, Mythic GME is always a good call.  Because I'm a tarot junkie, I'd also consider Four Houses in Chaos, if I found a deck that matches the theme.

I condensed and simplified from a couple of tarot books.  I wanted a quick and easy look up  to inspire.  It's more for the GM emulator role rather than as a divination tool.

Amber (the books) itself is rather vague on the meanings of the trumps.  I'm actually more of a fan of the Cosmic Power tarot when I play Amber Diceless (it's super 70's big hair cool.)  By the way, on my home page (www.tangent-zero.com) you can find Four Houses in Amber which is tuned more towards running an Amber game.

[edit for typo]

It installed peacefully the first time.  But hey, the anti-virus software is always updating itself, so it might be a new rule or something.  If nobody else is seeing this, I'll chalk it up as a false positive.

My anti-virus software freaked out on the file PlayBTW_v1_11_base_windows.exe.  Is anyone else seeing that?

Okie dokie, thanks for the info.

Is there a Discord or Reddit community for OMitV?

Oh, I wasn't thinking of game mechanics.  Just using that as a theme for OSR contributions.  Taverns noted for the bard competitions, singing monsters, a big bad that can only be dispelled via poem or song, music related spells and magical items.

To riff on that, extend poem to sonnets and stanzas, make it about monsters, magic, and places that are tied to the lyrical.

Congrats on a great jam, 34 entries for a first showing is pretty good.

For the fall, I think a horror/monster theme would be a great fit for October.  If it wasn't back to back, I'd like to see comedy/silliness as an April theme.  Summer, would make a good theme; deserts, storms, heat waves, weather related stuff.. 

Ditto!  Had so much fun that I did it twice.  :-D

Huh, I don't get that vibe from him.  He does poke merciless fun at some game communities, so I'm sure that ruffles some feathers.

I included a blurb and link at the beginning of mine and also ran it by the author to make sure I didn't step on any toes.  Color me cautious/paranoid.  :-)

Also, including it for the NaGaDeMon game jam since they're both November game creation jams.

One submitted and working on a second one.  :-)

Heh, I got motived, perhaps maniacally so.  Rather pleased with my Wretched and Alone hack.

Having seen that, I can suggest visiting https://www.reddit.com/r/Solo_Roleplaying when you find many like minded people.

Okay, I think I actually have an idea that I can stick with this year.  With the survival theme, it also hits my belated interest in The Wretched and the Wretched and Alone SRD/Wretch Gam Jam.  Yes, I'm a little late to the party.  But, I got a good roll on Zero Dice that has me inspired and I'm already several pages into it.

Is it possible to get a list of the prompts and such for those of us that want to play face to face or on other chat platforms?

Ah, I forgot that marking it as mature puts an age check in place. Here's a direct link:

Just for fun, here is my actual play of a solo run of The Anomaly. I had a blast with this game.

I clicked modern and rolled three and this is what I got.  I so can't get Austin Powers out of my head,  :-)
