you've made an absolutely stellar game. i'm not very far into my playthrough, but i've already fallen in love with it. the ruleset and premise make it surprisingly easy to jump right into writing your world and character, and i love how flexible it is! you're not bound to one strict setting, after all- instead, there is plenty of room for creativity and extrapolation.
i've chosen for my character Clara to have been born as a werewolf, since both of his parents are lycan (which is the shorthand i've been using to refer to a werewolf/lycanthrope in my writing). i chose a setting of rural appalachia in the late 1920s, and am planning to incorporate both steampunk and eldritch themes.
i absolutely adore how well thought-out the writing prompts in this are, especially for the worldbuilding and character-building portions. it makes brainstorming much easier and far less intimidating than it often is for me.
thank you so much for gifting me your game as a community copy! i greatly appreciate it, and am hoping that it will help me stay more consistent with journaling this year as well as to process some things in my own life.
I just found this today and had to pick it up immediately!
I specifically like the section in "Building the world" where you say: "You’re a human who transforms into an animal, or an animal that transforms into
a human. This animal is usually, but not
always, a wolf."
That reminds me of the Changing Breeds book from Werewolf the Apocalypse and gives me so much flexibility in how to handle my story. Most of the time, I want to be a wolf but there will be times where I want to be a bear or a fox or a tiger.
Thank you for adding that into your game. Can't wait to dig in!
I'm glad it helps you tell your story :) I'm a firm believer in saying "this is what I'm assuming, but it is absolutely okay if it's not quite the case for your story and you should interpret it how you need." Because I have to assume something to write the prompts, but *also* keep it open enough that it doesn't shut down anyone's ideas.
In the end, it's the story you tell that matters most. The game's there to support you, not the other way around :)
Making a tarot deck is something I would love to do, but it's such a lot of work that it would realistically take a few years to complete. So one day, maybe, but certainly not soon.

Is there any chance of you releasing your own tarot deck to go with the games? The art you’ve already done is spectacular.
Thank you so much for the compliment!
