I'll be honest, personally I just wanted to make my judgements and get through as many as I could. When I'm doing that much reading I run out of the mental bandwidth to leave genuine feedback. I had plenty of good and bad to say but I opted to keep it all to myself. That said if anyone asked my opinion on any specific entry I'd have an answer for sure.

And yeah the system was kinda tedious but I get why it is the way it is. Some potential improvements aside, I think it's fair, hence why I tried to rate what I could

Both. I wanted to make a card game based on Shadowdark but to the extent that it would be something I'd think crawlers might actually play between expeditions. Think of it like a card game companion to the Wizards & Thieves dice game in Shadowdark RPG. Both work well as actual games the players can play and gamble their coin on at the table, hence why I refer to the Stakes tables in the Shadowdark RPG book.

Fair enough. Thank you very much for your quick action! I'm glad I reached out and I admire your efforts

I have been. I'm taking the stance that as long as you've made your submission before the deadline, updating it should be ok. In case it's not though, I'm also taking the stance that I'm gonna keep improving my work when I can as needed and I don't care if it gets me disqualified. I care a lot about my project and making it the best it can be

I got a good 70 entries rated which I think is good going so it's not too bad. I just know what it's like to voice a problem in the community tab and not have any real help with it. Thank you for your rating. Hope you liked it as much as I like your Illusionist class, that was such a fun idea!

In an effort to help with this, I replicated the problem and now I'm locked out of rating any submission that's not an executable. Found no way so far to fix it other than hope everyone makes their submissions register as executables as opposed to the documents they actually are...which I did so I can confirm this is actually the case so please let me know if you now see Crawl in your rating queue...assuming you didn't get a chance to rate it before you stumbled into this problem.

Hi, as someone participating in my first game jam, I want to point out a problem with the preferred platform function. Since the game jam in question revolves around written material for a tabletop roleplaying game, the majority of the entries don't really fall under any platform due to simply being written documents and artwork. Thus, if someone curious tries to see what the preferred platforms option does, they basically lock themselves away from rating most of the entries.

Someone in the community posts ran into this problem and in an effort to help them I tried replicating it and sure enough, there seems to be no way to reset the preferences as far as I can tell.

Also I notice above there's mention of a 25 entry limit that could be reached to enable rating submissions without the queue. That doesn't seem to be the case.

Now, I realise this thread seems to refer to a specific game jam as opposed to the rating queue in general so I understand if this is the wrong place to voice these concerns. That said, I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Firstly, thank you for asking! If something isn't clear I'm grateful for the chance to fix it.

Secondly, Yes, the game is completely over once every player has taken the Escape action. Note that it says in the Setup section that the game ends when everyone escapes. To expand on that, once a single player escapes, think of it as that player fleeing to safety, essentially bailing on the rest of the party to fend for themselves. The consequence of escaping though is that said player can no longer search for gems while the other players can keep going. 

But yeah once the game ends, that's it really. You take note of your collective score as a party's highscore of sorts or of your individual scores if you want to distinguish a winner. At that point, the typical idea is to go again to try get a better score. That said, by all means if you wanna do another delve into the same dungeon, you could, just following the necessary setup steps and see if ye can complete the whole dungeon, combining scores from the first time round as you go. I'll be honest, I never thought of that scenario until now and I'm tempted to add it but it probably would mean doing up a second page. Let me know if you think I should.

Lastly thank you for trying it. Hope it was easy enough to get going, had the intended Shadowdark vibes and most of all that ye enjoyed yourselves. Sincerely, thank you for playing my game :)

My mistake, I was under the impression that the "Free to Download" or "Pay What you Want" was part of the rule for all submissions, didn't realize it was a stipulation specifically for when using AI-Art.

It had made sense to me as a general for the sake of open rating, hence my confusion. Thank you for clarifying. It's so easy to misread these kind of things.

Rule 4 of the jam makes this a no no

I greatly appreciate what you have made here. I'd also like to mention that the margin notes are fantastic. Gave the whole read a nice sprinkle of personality.

As an Irishman, I can appreciate the fact you basically named your city "city". It works. Solid name!

I like this. The Inquisitive class is very appealing to me.

Happy to help!

Heya,

this is my first jam too and as far as I can tell, multiple submissions are probably ok because I know of at least one participant with 2 entries. As for the update once it's submitted, I imagine that's a perfectly natural part of the process. That's why a game jam has a limited timeframe, to build projects before the ratings and eventual announced winner kicks in.

I, personally, have done like 7 updates since I first submitted my project...not that the submission feed would reflect that in my case. Unfortunately the feed seems to exclusively take issue with my project which is why you don't see it in the feed. Point is, updating your project before the 22nd should be not only fine but encouraged.

Hope this helps

This is a scaling beast but really really cool

Oh it's definitely on "Public". Has been since I put it together and I got that tooltip about it will save as draft and that I would want to switch it to Public after. It wouldn't appear on the submission page otherwise which isn't the issue. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate the effort :)

Hi, 

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what causes a submission to not appear in the submission feed?
My submission is on the submission page fine but not on the feed which worries me that I've done something wrong.
This is my first ever game jam so I don't know if there's any rules I could be somehow breaking or something.
I do suspect it may have something to do with me changing my username after I made a submission but that's pure speculation on my part.
Point is I'm in need of some insight or a second opinion.

Aside from conjure coin using CHA rather than DEX which just makes more sense to me, this class is wonderful. I love it! Such a fun and clever idea!

Already shared my thoughts on this. Love it. I helped!

Very cool item. Great description. Awesome convenience vs backfire thing going on. Feels like a solid mainstay given how important the light mechanic is in SD.

I'm pretty new. Haven't been able to play it yet but I've read through the book and the first of the Cursed Scrolls. It's such an impressive system. Beautifully concise.
