Wow, this is wonderful! I'm honored that you took the time to translate the game. Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad you and your spouse were able to enjoy it together!

I led a couple players through a 2-player version on the podcast Planet Arcana! It worked really well - basically, each person had their own character, and they answered the same prompts but pulled different major arcana. That format should work for 3+ players, too.

Hey there! The damaged copies do indeed ship to Italy, and the $8 digital version comes with all digital files, not just the game PDF.

Thanks for asking!

As you described, the player draws 3 minor arcana each act. They will also draw 3 major arcana each act - one for each prompt (aka, each minor arcana).

During each prompt the player draws 1 minor arcana and 1 major arcana. Thus, you should have 3 major arcana cards (not including the shadow) to shuffle back into the major arcana deck at the end of the act. The minor arcana cards do not need to be shuffled back into the deck, as they will not be used again.

Hope that helps clarify!

This game was fantastic! The art for each room is stunning, and I was surprised by the large number of sprites created for the cat (whom I love). The final room was delightfully spooky. I had a great time playing.

I'm so delighted to see this idea come to life! What a wonderful game!!

This is delightful! I definitely want to use this in the future to help create funky details for NPCs.

Thank you so much! :)

I absolutely love that this SRD has prompts for your prompts! They're fantastic for brainstorming.

This is genuinely one of most fun I've ever had GMing a one-shot. It was a true delight playing as the Estate and a seemingly endless number of crows. If you like gothic literature do not sleep on this.

No problem! 😊

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, thank you!

To answer your question, major arcana is correct - putting them back into the deck allows the possibility of drawing the same major arcana cards in the next act. You can actually put the minor arcana aside at the end of the act because you won't be using them anymore. Hope that helps!

This is so wonderful, thank you so much for sharing!!

Any tarot deck would work! When designing the game, I used the Rider-Waite deck designed by Pamela Coleman Smith, but any tarot deck is fine.

Numbskulls is a true delight! Very silly, good for all-ages, and perfect for Halloween (or anytime you want to play as a skeleton, which is all the time for me).

The character coloring sheet is such a wonderful idea, I'd love to see this in more games!

I think they'll be on sale in April!

This table is so clever!! I will absolutely be using it in my games.

This game is incredibly smart and charming! All of the tables are super helpful. The rules are both clear and simple. I feel like I'd easily be able to GM this game with zero prep. Also the art is so delightful! Highly recommend.

This game is so wonderful and charming!! I know my friends and I will have a blast playing this. The concept is hilarious and all of the random tables are super helpful. There's so much love and humor put into this little game - it's one of my favorites from ZineQuest 3.

This is such a kind and thoughtful review, thank you!

Wow!! Thank you so much for the lovely words, I'm glad it could provide some joy during tough times! It certainly means a lot to hear, especially that you enjoy the writing.

Good catch on the banned words! It completely slipped past me...I was so focused on not using the word "blood" that I looked past "life" (a more egregious offence than blood, I'd reckon!). Turns out that game is harder than I thought!

This is maybe the most fun I've ever had reading a game. The text is hilarious and plays up the game's silly tone. It's actually very inspiring from a game dev perspective - I want to be able to write game text like this someday! It's guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Slayers of Suburbia is absolutely delightful! Cretaceous Skatepark is hilarious and I laughed multiple times while reading. Definitely want to play/run that one sometime.

Anamnesis is a solo journaling RPG about self-discovery, reflection, and identity. You play as an individual who has woken up with memory loss. You do not remember who you are, where you are, or what you care about. As you draw tarot cards, you fill the blank spaces of your past and learn more about your present.

Inspirations include The Wretched by Chris Bissette and The Portal at Hill House by Travis Hill and Lindi Farris-Hill.

All that is needed to play is a deck of tarot cards and a journaling method. The game is 10 pages long.

This is the beta version of the game. The text is complete, but I'm raising funds to hire a layout artist. If the crowdfunding is successful, everyone who purchased the beta version will receive the updated version for free.

When the crowdfunding ends (successful or not) I will also add 1 community copy for every person who bought the beta.

Thank you for your support!

This game is fantastic. It does a great job hitting the "cosmic horror" mood. All of the prompts give you just enough information to inspire you, while being vague enough to let you put your own creative twists on them. I'll absolutely play this game again!

Hi all! I've released a rules-light tabletop roleplaying game called The Organ Stays. It's free and you can download it here: https://samleigh.itch.io/the-organ-stays

The Organ Stays is a silly TTRPG about protecting your church’s organ from being destroyed by setting "Home Alone"-style traps.

A game is led by a GM and at least 2 players. It takes approximately 3-6 hours and is composed of 3 Movements:

1. Set the Scene - Map out the church, choose the setting, and discuss character relationships.
2. Plan and Prepare - Gather materials, lay traps, and strategize.
3. Defend the Organ - Fight for the organ. The organ stays.

Hacks are welcomed and encouraged!

Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season.
