Hello again, thank you for your patience and your interest in physical copies - I have checked with Twelve Pins and they have confirmed print copies are now available on the site. Many thanks and have a great day. 

Hello, my sincerest apologies for the delay, I have reached out and the Press website will update soon with physical copies - thanks for your interest, I will put in another comment once I confirm they are on the site.

Thanks so much for sharing your comments and playthrough - it was really neat to read through and see what themes you found in it :) 

Hi!

Thank you! I had 3-4 players in mind when writing the game but suspect going to 5 players is doable.

Many thanks,

Yanahn

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with the game - it was really great to read through your blog posts :D and I am glad that you like the map idea and that it enriched the experience. One of things I was pondering a lot while writing the game was how to convey the intended atmosphere and vibes so am happy that the paintings were helpful with that 

Also, thanks for your interest in future content - I will definitely keep you in the loop regarding expansions or new maps

Neat! glad to hear you all had fun - and thank you for the comments - additional obstacle prompts does sound like a good idea

Thank you! :D and glad you enjoyed the game 

Hi! 

Thanks for the lovely comment - am glad to hear that you are enjoying the game :D - and yea I am real fond of Chinese landscape paintings so the game was a way to share that fondness with more folks

Wishing you a good day as well! - that Untamed inspired DnD game sounds v cool 

Ah apologies and thanks for mentioning - I think I got two different quotes on music mixed up - it has been amended now

Hi! - Thanks for your comment and question :D - to be honest, I suspect yea it did, though potentially subliminally rather than intentionally. I remember watching a video on Tokaido and enjoying the journey/roadtrip vibe very much, though that was ages before Stories was written so maybe the vibes stuck around. 

Amusingly, Stories was initially intended as a hex-crawl until I found Ultraviolet Grasslands and realised the pointcrawl style was more fitting. 

Ah thank you very much for your comments :D and am glad to hear that you like the maps and prompts

YEEEEE :D

Hi, ah okay, glad to hear there is another way to access it - thanks very much for flagging this - I will amend the announcement then, though I am likely still going to send out a clarifying email just in case. 

Thanks again,

Yanahn

Thank you! :D

Oh thank you for mentioning - apologies I can't believe I forgot this - It has been added now

Thank you! Am really glad to hear that - and yea the non-canonical reasons are a fun bit - since there actually were some early modern or medieval pseudo-saints that were not canon (though probs for less weird reasons :D)

Hi! 

Thanks for your comment :D - glad to hear you like the game and the concept - I had found a lot of cool landscape paintings and thought a game would be a neat way to share them with folks (also the colour schemes were soothing)

Hi, 

Thank you for purchasing the game - and yes, you are right, those are the tables (I had intended them to mimic post office stamps). The intention was that the player choose whichever table to roll on that they found fun/interesting.

Thanks,

Yanahn

Hi,

Thanks so much for the translation - really like the extra landscape poems - they are cool

Also, yeah no worries, I admit the names are definitely hard to translate - I just got them from an English adaptation of the 山海经

Thanks again,

Yanahn

Hi coffee_ghost_TW

Thank you! - I am really glad to hear that you and your friend enjoyed the game, and that the landscape painting mood came through. 

A translation sounds super cool - I would really appreciate if I could get a copy of it.

Thanks again,

yanahn

I really love the aesthetic and premise of this game. It is super cool.
