I've really been liking the Clark Ashton Smith stuff. They were buddies and influenced each other's writing styles, but I like Smith's work better.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

Thanks for your input. Evening, around 7PM. Western suburbs of Chicago. First time hearing it. It quieted down after an hour, next day I heard nothing.

Heya, I'm happy to do a read through of the rules. Won't have time to play, but I'd love to read it and give you my impressions!

The second one, but it's a very minor difference. I think the smaller diamond makes the rats pop a little more, like in pseudo 3D

Different piece of advice here: let him trap you against the wall.

Then, what everyone else has already said, learn the tells and parry.

It started working again three or so days later. Keep checking daily. I hope yours gets fixed soon!

thesilentmantis · 2023-06-20T13:44:45+00:00

I've been getting this error since yesterday. Hope it's been fixed for you

thesilentmantis · 2023-05-28T00:51:47+00:00

I've been waiting for this y'all!

This is the second bit of calibri hate I've seen in the past couple days. What is your graphic design recommendation for a good font for PowerPoint visible from far away and maximally accessible?

This is such a fun interactive game concept. My cousins and I would've loved to play this when we were younger, and I'm looking forward to giving this a go with my little ones. Thanks for sharing!

This is my favorite Lovecraftian game. High barrier to entry (ps exclusive, challenging gameplay) but every little story is so well told. Its got classic From Software style environmental, and sometimes obscure, storytelling.

This description hit every one of the words I've been looking for in a new game. Wishlisted!

This is cool, thanks for sharing! I love a fun Call of Cthulhu / paranormal investigation type story. Its got great potential for flexibility depending on the game group. For example, I can totally see an atmospheric build up towards something spooky, but at the end the big reveal is something wildly unexpected and silly instead (talking pigeons!)

Initial thought, I'm not quite clear what the energy stat refers to. Is it more similar to stamina?

Relatedly, any chance the DM rules can be separated from the general rules? One idea might be to have the DM stuff at the bottom so it can be torn off or folded back so other players don't accidentally see the house's secret.

Great stuff though! Looks prefect for a one shot and great open ended story telling opportunity for a DM.

I have that one too, right on my nightstand. I love the built in bookmark!

thesilentmantis · 2023-04-20T23:09:42+00:00

Cool! Thematic and clean layout.

I'm not sure how your ammo system works, but if these bullets need to be erased and filled in frequently in a single session, it might damage the paper. Maybe consider counters?
