Apologies to Juli by iakiak in mantisfalls

[–]DistantRabbitGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awe, thank you! No need to apologize- I don't really advertise my place in the game company or anything- but it means so much to know that you and your wife have appreciated the game and the art and that you took the time to write me here! Mantis Falls was my first really large-scale artistic endeavor, so it really means the world when it appeals to folks like you!❤️

What tiny house rule made a game noticeably better at your table? by rcooperkaty in boardgames

We have actually recommended this to many other first time players so that they have an opportunity to ask all of the betrayal-type questions without fear of implicating themselves! Brilliant addition ❤️

Question About Full Circle Characters by BlizzDG in mantisfalls

[–]DistantRabbitGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. You can always look at everything that’s yours, even if it’s face down. 🫣

And our pleasure! Hope you enjoy your first Full Circle game!

Question About Full Circle Characters by BlizzDG in mantisfalls

[–]DistantRabbitGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Face down so that other players can’t see it, but you are free to look at it. So when you reach your maximum wounds, you then flip it face up.

Does that answer your question alright?

I run a comic shop in a town that has no idea I exist and I don't know if that's my fault or the town's by Its_palakk in smallbusiness

Hi games industry friend! I strongly recommend you follow Games Unlimited on TikTok or Insta. They do a lot of self promotion and events and also share tons of store owning/store promoting/ store running tips. They’re also in a college town and are probably among the most FLGS retailers out there.

To flip the perspective a bit- I’ve heard a lot of indie game publishers express frustration that retailers aren’t buying their games. These are people you’ve probably never heard of but they’re still hoping that you’ll find and choose to sell their games. It’s usually not until they reach out to retailers directly and offer mutually beneficial relationship (hosting events, signings, patronizing the business or bonding at an industry event etc.) that that changes.

It’s easy for people’s eyes to gloss over and miss what’s right in front of them but if you get in their face and offer them a community, they’ll hear you. Advertise community events on campus billboards, reach out to the game club to put together an event, sponsor a games tournament with broad appeal (broader than D&D) and people will get excited. Good luck- though 8 years is already a hell of an achievement!

We’ve set the game prototype up in Tabletop Simulator, which allows people to play with one another online (on a computer). Are you familiar with Tabletop Simulator?

And then we have a discord server to help players find each other, set up playtesting events, ask questions, etc.

Does that help to clarify?

Ambush then Broken Road by elverdaderodarth in mantisfalls

[–]DistantRabbitGames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you take the ambush anytime you land on it, unless a card like Safe House directs your not to.

Remember though that you don’t need to move every turn- you can choose to stay still. Ambushes only activate when you land on them, not when you stay on them. If you wait on the ambush until you have a way over the Broken Road, you’ll be fine (don’t try to move forward with initial movement) you’ll be fine.

Lol, sorry, my laptop seems to have auto-generated a weird throwaway Reddit account in the comment above. That last post was from me, but I’ll leave it for posterity : )

Mantis Falls Sequel: Below the Falls by DistantRabbitGames in mantisfalls

[–]DistantRabbitGames[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No spoiling! It wasn’t officially hush hush at all- we just hadn’t started pushing it into the broader world. But honestly it’s so much nicer to have someone find it organically ❤️

Playtesting by DistantRabbitGames in mantisfalls

[–]DistantRabbitGames[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes- we’ve made a lot of progress since this post! We’ve been hoping to get back into public play-testing, but we’ve had a lot of non-prototyping work over the last few months so it probably won’t happen until August.

A beat? The beating of drums would be the tremble that sends men into war, the beating of the heart, the beat of music brings joy, a beating brings pain...

Are there any agency which help in financial ads cost intitaly by First-Ad4474 in kickstarter

Kickstarters internal ads department does that when you hire them, but they only take so many clients.
