Hello! I'm sorry, I need to be better about checking comments on my games. I took that game down because I thought it needed some polish, but I am hoping to have it up again soon and am happy to send you a copy in the meantime.

That's very strange! I just played through and it worked normally for me. Mind sharing what OS/Browser you're using so I can test further?

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this.

thank you so much! 

Thanks so much for letting me know, XionKuriyama. It's running fine in Chrome for me, so I'm a little stumped; I'm using a Macbook, though, so I'll try it on a Windows PC in the morning and see if I can figure out what might be going on.

Any chance you could grab a screenshot and send it to me next time it happens?

Thank you so much! The original is really great.

Hey! Sorry, I clearly don't check this thread enough. The responses are not saved centrally, as the game runs entirely in your browser; building in a server to save all of that would have made the build a lot more complex. I'm encouraging people are interested to download their log and share it on social media with the hashtag #AloneAmongTheStars.

Thanks for the kind words, Kumada1. I *love* the idea of playing this game on the back of a kaiju!

Hey! I'm in the early stages of creating a downloadable version. Stay tuned!

I'd love that! Just let me know what you need—you can DM me on Twitter @adnroy.

I used a version of the background from this pack in my last game. You can check it out here: https://adnroy.itch.io/alone-among-the-stars-twine-version

Thanks so much!

Hi all, this is technically a video game, not a TTRPG, but it's an adaptation so I figured some people here might be interested. 

I just finished putting together a Twine version of Alone Among the Stars, Takuma Okada's single-player TTRPG about exploring space, and I wanted to give people here a chance to preview it before it goes public. If you run into any bugs, definitely give me a heads-up. (Advance warning, it doesn't really work on mobile right now; I'll be putting together a mobile build at a later date.) Here's the link, the password is amongthestars: https://adnroy.itch.io/alone-among-the-stars-twine-version

That's a very good question. Ideally, I'd love to find a system where everyone can just post photos, so they can draw on paper and then just take a picture with their phones or computers. Honestly, the best way might even be to run a game on a forum or messaging service, so you could just scroll through the replies. I think Skype chat would probably work.

Awesome! I'm traveling for work the next couple of weeks, but I'd like to set something up when I get back. Will contact you when I do. (And feel free to organize your own game too! I'd love to see how the game goes when players who aren't familiar with it run it)

Hi everyone! I'm Adam. Pronouns are he/him. I started playing RPGs as a tween in the early aughts (D&D, Shadowrun, and some informal play-by-post), then took about 15 years off to pursue other interests before getting into writing them as a creative outlet a few months ago. I've written six short games so far (check them out at http://adnroy.itch.io) . I'm trying out different genres and consider myself a novice, but I'm especially interested in writing the kind of horror games that I'd like to play.

Find me on twitter at @adnroy. (Be forewarned: I write about outdoor sports and the environment for my job, so along with the game design tweets, there are a lot of rants about hiking/the national parks/global warming and mass extinction).

Name of System: Custom/indie

Number of Players:  2 or more

Approximate Session Length: 30-60 minutes, though game includes options for longer lengths if desired.

Testing Period: Ongoing; hoping to launch final version next month.

Other Details: Moss Creeps, Stone Crumbles is a co-op storytelling and drawing game where the players build the story of a forest over 100 years. It was created for the #CozyGameJam, and is meant to be both easy to pick up and calming.

Nice! I'd love to be part of a tarot jam. I actually did a tarot-based hack of Alone Among the Stars by Takuma Okada for the #SadMechJam and had a lot of fun making it.

I released a little game this month called Moss Creeps, Stone Crumbles for the #CozyGameJam. It's a diceless, GM-less drawing game about 100 years in the life of a forest. One player in the circle draws a little, minimalist scene and the next one interprets it, and so on: https://adnroy.itch.io/moss-creeps-stone-crumbles

That makes my day! I'm *so* glad you liked it, and I can't wait to play your game.

So glad to hear you liked it!

Just gotta go find a Jenga tower first lol

Gonna play the hell out of this

Love this. Super elegant.

Love it!
