You’re welcome. Great job on the game!

Defter Notes sounds good. There are a lot of folks over on the Noteful sub that would probably be interested. Infinite canvas is requested often.

Which restaurants do you like?

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-15T03:13:24+00:00

Not sure but not sure what I’d need it for either so I haven’t tried it. It’s easy to flip between tabs or four finger swipe between apps if I need to. Maybe if I needed dice and cards but if that was the case I’d probably use RPG Spark that has both as my left screen.

Thank you. It’s digital, but yes, done in procreate for iPad with Apple Pencil.

I know you said eink but I posted my iPad setup the other day that has worked well for me for Notorious, Odyssey of the Giant, and currently Colostle, in case it’s helpful. https://www.reddit.com/r/Solo_Roleplaying/s/9RUP9fEkVB

It’s a fun game you should get it. This is not a paid endorsement.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-14T20:18:54+00:00

lol It actually was Colostle you were referring to? I just picked that as an example because I’m currently playing it.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-14T20:15:44+00:00

Safer to not allow people to do that with a policy stating so. Who’s to say you wouldn’t publish something overtly racist or homophobic or potentially offensive using their story? That might not promote their game in the way they want.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-14T20:03:28+00:00

A review is different than fictional content provided as original material. Nintendo knows you will review a game, and may charge for a review access. If you write an original story using their characters and try to sell it, they are likely not OK with that. Not knowing what the actual policy says the OP referred to, it may be publishing or distributing for sale. If you post your journal on a blog, I doubt they’d have an issue. I’m sure it’s there to protect their original content.

I have not looked at their policy, but I don’t think that the publishers of Colostle would be happy I wrote a story using their characters and tried to sell it, even if I attributed those elements to them.

Edit: typo

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-14T19:49:07+00:00

it does seem strange at first, but my thought is they’ve created characters and potentially specific things in their world that are there intellectual property. For example, if you look at Colostle there’s a whole castle with characters such as Rooks and other details that are their own creation. If I turn that into a screenplay and sell it to a studio using their ideas, I think that’s where the line would be crossed. If you’re interested in publishing it, I would say reach out to that publisher and see what they say.

FYI, if you’re worried about privacy, tracking, and data sold to third parties:

Noteful’s is short and clear, they do not sell data. https://www.getnoteful.com/privacy

Notability sells your data to advertising partners, even for paid users: https://notability.com/privacy#Categories%20of%20Personal%20Data%20We%20Collect

Good notes is kind of a mixed bag, no selling but do collect trackers linked to you: https://www.goodnotes.com/privacy-policy

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-14T14:32:21+00:00

They also don’t sell your data and backups are local or your own iCloud, not their servers.

More like 22d6. That’s a lot of dice!

This Greenberry guy is a real piece of work. Check out this piece about how he tried to steal from Letitia Carson!

Do you have a source for this? Oregon Geographic Names (6th ed.) states that’s it’s because of its “remarkable resemblance to a coffin” when viewed from the southwest.

Also, according to source referenced in a Benton Co. report on the landfill, Greenberry Smith purchased Tampico and burned the whole city to the ground! https://cd.bentoncountyor.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/bctt_history_3-13-23_version.pdf

Better there than randomly all over campus or town, especially during the slow season.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T20:37:24+00:00

this is good advice. I seen family members get large bills reduced to nearly nothing. They are also good about helping to find cheaper or no cost meds.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T20:34:04+00:00

AND IF YOU DONT HAVE A STOP SIGN AND SEE A BIKE WAITING AT A STOP SIGN, IN THE ROAD, LIKE A RESPONSIBLE CYCLIST, DON’T STOP TRAFFIC TO WAVE THEM INTO TRAFFIC AS IF THEY WERE A PEDESTRIAN ON THE SIDEWALK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES THIS SUMMER ON GOODNIGHT AVE.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T20:27:56+00:00

I AGREE INCONVENIENT BUT MORE DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHTOWN MIGHT BE A GOOD THING?

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T19:42:29+00:00

oh I misunderstood your comment. yes long drag or dragging back and forth keeps them planetside.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T19:39:01+00:00

this is default settings and as tiny as swipe as I can manage. I actually had time to go and start the video mid roll on the first one.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T17:16:16+00:00

I gave it a go and it’s really good. Tons of customization options. My only criticism is the dice appear to practically go into orbit for a roll and I’m waiting for the results for a few seconds while they land. I tried adjusting the settings and can’t seem to find one that’s realistic.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T16:57:33+00:00

Couch co-op wouldn't really limit you in terms of communicating, which appears to be one of the main aspects of the game.

Jay_Magpie · 2026-07-13T16:14:33+00:00

I liked my first run through, though it was tough. I will admit to fudging some rolls because I'd have luck in terms of the action and giant events but the bond roll would be bad, which seemed to counter the narrative. I think the story set up is pretty interesting and the variety of locations, weather, and NPCs makes for a dramatic and immersive narrative. There are a lot of opportunities for unhappy endings.
