Thank you for making and sharing this! It looks like it will be very helpful for all those I play with, neurodivergent or otherwise. Needing some time to process things is very human, and explicitly saying that isn't something I've seen in other safety tools

I love this! Very streamlined tactical game and playable with a chess board - already available in many homes or easy to draw out on paper. I can so imagine playing out FF Tactics hacks with Valiance Crest

Absolutely entrancing! It looks great, has lovely worldbuilding, and I dig the simple rules that nonetheless drive the story forward. This  solarpunk vibe is 100% what I'm look for in RPGs and books nowadays, I read everything through within minutes and wanted more immediately 

It's always lovely when i come across a game that instantly brings back memories from childhood, and have that catchy theme song playing in the back of my head as i read the game  <3

Hi there, big fan of what you're doing with Weirdglass! I was wondering if a single-page version would be too much effort to do up? If it is, no worries!

No idea what kind of character to play? Roll a question. Already made a character and want to add some history? Roll a question. Characters sitting round a campfire and having a little heart-to-heart? Roll a question. 

Great stuff. Everything is pretty much reduced to a handful of rules that could fit on a business card. Solid tips for how to play in the FKR style as well. Perfect to replace the rules in PF2 (remaster or otherwise), or 5e (2024 or otherwise), or any other of the hundreds of adventure games. 

TBH I made it mostly for me, as I don't fancy token draws and can't practically do dice stacking, but I'm glad this was useful for at least one other person!

One specifically about cosy games, which might be interesting to a few?

Such an evocative read, and lovingly illustrated! I can imagine a region having Ullumar as the main god, and how that impacts relations other regions. Ullumar's ambassadors must be treated with both fear and pity

Such an absolutely delightful set of rugrats! Cute (and a little gross, for Toffee, but that makes them even cuter) and full of personality 

Looks amazing! Is there a download perhaps?

Thank you for making such a lovely game (and such warm illustrations as well). My daughter has already arrived, but she's still little enough that this game is exactly right for me <3

I can even imagine a gender-neutral version of this (both for the kid and the parent) that would make an amazing gift to soon-to-be parent friends 

I'm low-key jealous at how amazing this looks! A lot of ideas and useful things crammed into two pages, and there's lovely little hand-drawn designs, typographic highlights, and illustrations throughout. Such cosy vibes, perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon

I'm a big fan of the art I see you putting out on social media for what looks a second(?) edition of The Way! I'm 110% sure I'll like the new edition better, given what I've seen, but I hope you'd still have this version up somewhere available, as I'm a big fan of your ideas and art style! 

Looks sick! A cool take on cyberpunk, a rules engine i love... looking forward to more!

I really enjoyed reading this, and (if you're so inclined) look forward to other things you'll write/design/make!

I love how you've distilled the Brindlewood moves and mystery system, swapped in my fave dice rolls (d6 pools from BitD), and made something so evocative and cathartic. It'll probably be fun to mix LJBD back into Brindlewood Bay and get some grandmas pinning murders on rich people! 

I really enjoyed reading the devlog and having the two versions to look at side by side! It is definitely a v2.0, an upgrade to even more evocative writing -- you've also shown me that sometimes shortening a d20 table to d6 (just the greatest hits) can actually make a table feel more robust! 

Here you go... Enjoy!

Thanks for your interest! I haven't had the time to play and/or develop much -- there was almost 2 years between v0.4 and v0.5 because I only got to play it again then! That said, the rules are (I think) in a pretty good state since they're riffing off 24XX rules, which are already good. That most recent time I've been having fun playing both solo and co-op with a friend, using *ahem* actual pokemon in addition to randomly generated etymon... The game's free/pwyw so take it for a spin! 

I do have a few ideas brewing on how to develop and refine the rules further, and of course it's still missing the all-important random tables... The tables just takes some time to sit down to write (I find more joy as a rules tinkerer than as a writer!), and I do want to playtest more before adjusting the rules again -- but real life is very busy, so I can't tell you when v1.0 or even v0.6 will drop. Sorry about that!

If it helps, I also have a mini GM companion to help with solo/co-op play, it could be backup for my lack of random tables. 

I'm extremely jealous and impressed -- it seems like every week you put out yet another well-crafted pamphlet RPG with well-crafted prompts! Thank you for the community copies as well! 

Love the blend of the best elements from Fate and Forged in the Dark in an easy-to-play game! 

Just wanted to confirm if the pdf is meant to be just one page? It might be missing the d666 table and the cover!

Amazing find! If I get around to visiting my parents I'll have a look around for any old games -- I never had a GameKid, just a GameKid Color, so my game of nostalgia is Hero of Zeanad II

Ah, such a temptation then! I'll check if my FLGS will order it and support a fellow Canadian -- I can absolutely do with another (real) fake ad! 

Hi again! I am considering getting the hardcover version -- are there any changes from the paperback version? For example, I see there are solo rules being developed, will those be in the hardcover but not the paperback edition? Thanks!

That's very kind, thank you! 

Ah okay! I was scrolling everywhere trying to figure out where that was, but it was right at the top *facepalm*

Oh, what discord is this?

I'm a crowdfunding backer, and was wondering if I can get access on itch as well? Just a lot more convenient for me!

A cosy game with really lovely illustrations and a simple set of rules! 

Loved the previous editions of Rune! Just wondering if there will be an English version released for v2? Thanks!

Absolutely love this! The art, layout, evocative entries... Love that the first entry covers demonologists too!

Looks absolutely lovely! From the art to the page layout to even font choice, it forms a cohesive cosy little game i look forward to playing with my little one ("solo"-ing together)

*gasp* can't believe my name was recognised! I hope it helps you enjoy your games! 

Brilliant, thank you! I'll link it on the project page too

Thank you for the feedback! I'll add a couple of links to the page right away!

I'm definitely looking forward to expanding the toolkit in the future! Right now, unfortunately, dealing with "real life" takes up so much time and energy that these laying out these three cards were all that I could squeeze in time for.

Thank you so much! I made them for myself, really, but it is surely my hope that others find them useful

Thank you for the comment! In addition to the screenshot posted (it's only one page, after all!), I've just added the list of oracles in the project page.
