Having a read over these rules and this is some inspired stuff! Everything feels so tight and punchy, the Pitched Combat is genuinely such a clever idea, and it's just such a functional game (compliment!) for such a small amount of space!! Can't wait to give it a roll sometime.

Hi there!! First, I wanted to thank you so much for the kind words and letting me know about your game! I can't begin to express how happy it makes creators to know someone is playing our stuff. The Teapot has a special soft spot in my heart as my first "big" game, so I'm happy some of the elements of the design (limited scope of the character, interconnecting the eras via the Infusers etc.) seem to happening for you!
I do love this story already you've got going, like a lot. That's a fun arch of Alchemist Researcher into War Veteran that makes sense. I really like the idea of studying the tea plants in such a scientific way too, that's a fun angle. Makes me think of wine makers!
Thank YOU for playing! I'd love to hear about any further developments your little Teapot gets up to! :) I also hope it gets you into more Solo TTRPGs, there's so many good ones out there!
I'm so happy my little snail game got played and you enjoyed it!! To answer a few of your comments:
Tie breakers: I don't remeber if I actually addressed this in the text, apologies! It was one of those game jam games that just got a lot of crunch and definitely missed some things. I'll add those if I get around to fixing this game up a bit in the future (I'd like to!)
More Snail Stuff: Oh I love those ideas! Yes, I think beefing up the snails a bit more would do well! I'll definitely consider it, thank you for the ideas.
I hope one day, when bigger projects aren't dominating my time, to do a little touch up for this game, so stay tuned!
Thank you for commenting and the reminder! My main WIP has been consuming a lot more time than I thought, but I have managed to make a template that should work to make these more digital friendly! I just need to transfer all the text into them, double check it all worked correctly, and then it'll be ready! I'm hoping to have it done by the end of the month.
Thanks for reaching out! I'm hoping to be able to offer that, yes!! I'm going to look into if it's possible to, either through Kickstarter or the BackerKit once we're in that phase. :) So stay tuned (following my Twitter might be the best place to keep up to date on that though, but I will make an update for this game to let folks know too!)
I'm really excited for this Jam! I'm thinking of doing something a little... Safe? Going to do a twist on the Dark Souls 3 storyline of awakening Lords of Cinders to reignite the First Flame, but you're a Firekeeper and it's... slightly less "Chosen Undead beats up a lot of Guys" and more navigating that role of catalyst and diplomat almost.
We'll see! I'm giving myself two weeks to "play around and have fun" after LORDSWORN finishes as a mental reset!
Hey! Absolutely loving the jam, it's inspired a seriously whacky game about valiant Snail Knights at a jousting tournament. Sadly, June has been... brutal for time. Is there any possibility of a week or two extension? Wanting to put the best slimey snail foot forward for this project, but understand if not! (I'll just submit a barebones version and touch it up later.) :)
It makes me so happy to hear you're enjoying it! Thank you for playing it. :) I think the Teapot is a great game to play slowly too, really let the story steep (sorry, had to!) :) You'll have to let me know what your Teapot gets up to!
Hmmm, I've tried something that might work? I've made another Reward Tier called Pay What You Can! If you've claimed a Community Copy it might not let you though, but in all honesty just hearing you're enjoying it has been wind in my sails! Let me know if that works. :)
