I've started just one (1) game with a friend of mine, and we haven't even finished it yet, but it's been incredibly fun. I have just a little question about the rules, since it crossed my mind while reading the book over: when one of the three stats reaches 10, it becomes a "boiling point", but what happens in the possibility of two stats reaching 10 at the same time?
oh man, that’s a good question! i never came across that scenario in playtests but i suppose it’s totally possible. (i HAVE had playtests where the token change from surviving one boiling point pushes us straight into a different one, which is always really fun to rp!) if it happened in a game i was playing, i think i would probably roll for both — either choosing which one to do first on a whim and then if we survive that rolling the second immediately, or if you have enough d8s why not roll all four and decide how to mesh the results into one big event, even if that means fudging the actual outcome! (i.e. if you roll a game end on one, but a continue on the other, you can just decide that the success was enough to salvage the whole situation if you want to keep playing.)
Honestly, upon a first read, this is probably my favorite TTRPG of the year so far. I find the narrative prompts to be well written and evocative, the marital trials are incredible, and the token economy is well thought out. The most important rule is also possibly my favorite, just from the sheer narrative energy of it all.
I really look forward to playing this with my partner and will definitely be interested in whatever you put out next!
wow, thank you so much! this means a ton to me, especially since it’s my first game. i’m really excited to make more! i hope you and your partner have loads of fun playing :)
Honestly this might be silly but the d8 is my favorite shape of the polyhedral dice set and I'm incredibly hyped to see it used vs the more typical d6 or d10. Haven't had a chance to play it yet, but I'm excited to have a go at it soon with my partners!
not silly at all imo!! i also really like d8s and it's fun to be able to use dice that don't come up as often :D thank u so much, i really hope u and ur partners have fun with it!
hi! page 18 is meant to be positioned before 17 in the print order of the booklet version, because of the way the pages line up when the papers are all stacked and folded. i just did a test print to check and they look okay on my end! is it possible a page got flipped around before you folded + stapled?
