I'd be happy to pass along a review copy! Where should I send it?

Is there any particular order the Gifts are in? They're not sorted alphabetically or by cost, which makes them quite hard to reference.

This is AWESOME! I would totally run it with 24XX: The Deep.

This is so spectacularly fun! Those old LEGO themes are some of the most masterfully evocative little bits of worldbuilding around.

Looks nice and clean, great work!

This is a really cool Mystery! I love how out-there it is; anything that brings more aliens and MIBs to Degoya County is a win in my book. You've got a real knack for killer Paint the Scene prompts, and the Special Rule for watching a Tape in the Surveillance Van is spectacular.

A few small errors I spotted:

• The Opportunity for "How do we destroy the Hatchling?" mentions Mama, where I think it should mention the Godmother instead
• The headings for Locations, 24 Rodenbecker St, Side Characters, Megan Mitchell, the Deputy Sheriff, the Rewards, and the Clues are all stuck at the bottoms of pages preceding their actual sections

Oh, and now you've answered my prayers for a less-brainy Android alternative? Thank you for this <3

EDIT: Your embed still says 4, not 6!

High praise from one of my fav designers out there <3

Glad to hear you like 194X! Right now, my main focus is on my in-progress game Perihelion, so there's no development happening on this right now. I've got the vaguest dreams of revising some stuff and rolling all the Supplemental material into Core (along with finally paying for layout), but it's not a priority at this moment.

Any specific requests?

Spectacular stuff - especially your tweak to the Meddling Move! I might have to use this in my next campaign.

Print-friendly is now live :D

It's now available!

Just released :)

I still think fondly of this one often. I'll get it to the table eventually!

I'd love an option to toggle off seeing all AI content.

this is killer!! as a big fan of The Between and Public Access, but a bit less of a Brindlewood Bay stan, this is super exciting <3

God, this is cool.

Also, unrelatedly: I love the reframing some of the old U'Duasha material gets in the Iruvian glimpses throughout! 

I love nearly all of this! I've got one question about the new version of Pushing Yourself, though - why is there no "spend some Stress for a bonus die" option? That classic 2 Stress for +1D push is where most of the Stress my players typically earn comes from, so I was surprised to see it gone.

this looks spectacular already!

Thanks so much! I'll get you back when I'm able <3

I'm sorry to beg, but is there any chance of some Community Copies being put up?

I can't wait to see it!

Thank you for this offer! I'd be honored if you translated my work, I'm glad it spoke to you.

Oh, The Gas Station is spectacular! Thanks for pointing me to it.

Sci-fi horror is always a classic, doing a mini-Alien/Mothership sort of thing, but I also wouldn't mind one of these with some cybernetic items?

This is awesome! A couple things:

• small typo, Advancement: "if you are KO'd by survive" should probably say "if you are KO'd but survive", I think?
• Would you ever consider a sci-fi equivalent? I'm always glad to have a microgame like this in my back pocket.

Killer stuff! Clear and concise.

I'm a huge fan of Microscope and Street Magic, and this is a wonderfully elegant little tool in the same vein - well done! Treating your palette as a roll table is a truly inspired move <3

The worldbuilding and art in this is exceptional; I'd honestly kill for a TTRPG in the same setting! A Dark Heresy to your 40k, as it were.

While I've yet to get A NOCTURNE to my table, I've spent the past five years running a variety of other Forged in the Dark games, and I think this one stands head-and-shoulders above all the others except Songs for the Dusk. I think it avoids a lot of common pitfalls (cleaving too closely to Blades, having thin re-skins of that game's playbooks, etc), and all of the wholly-original stuff here is confident, compelling, and unique. I know several other designers who cite it as an inspiration for their own FitD work!

Absurdly excited for this, and to always see more downtime stuff for Mothership <3

Rad! Thanks again for such a cool scenario <3

Thank you so much!

They're in the handouts PDF, right after the playbooks!

I appreciate you looking for non-AI alternatives! Every little bit helps, and creatives do best when they act like a team, IMO.

Openverse lets you search through a Creative Commons image database, with checkboxes for images you're allowed to modify and/or use commercially. Unsplash has a license that enables commercial use. "Public domain" and "Creative Commons" are the magic words you're looking for here. If you want very specific things, 15 minutes of simple photobashing can still create incredibly evocative work.

There are millions of images in the public domain that you can use without modifying. I think doing that makes a lot more sense than using tools that can only function when allowed to steal from countless artists without giving them credit, and being a new designer doesn't give you a free pass from people who worked very hard to get good at making art for real. 

Really frightening and cool!

I think it's a real bummer to allow people to use algorithms built on mass uncredited theft from other creatives. Isn't the whole thrust of a game jam to make something yourself?
