One of my favorites from the jam! The structure of this is really great. All the adjectives and nouns have incredible range to play with.

The layout and vibe of this is incredible! great job!

Thank you! <3

Thanks so much!

Yay! Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks! Good luck on this quest. I think it'd be pretty tricky to do

Haha this is my favorite review! Thanks so much! I hope you find your tech deck

The Old Ways Must Go feels like an important game. It's about calling out the "old ways" and working together to create the "new ways." Throughout the game text, the emphasis on changing systems and structures and the importance of community really comes through. This is a game that is asking the players to reflect thoughtfully on the "old ways" and being creative for how they can be changed. And right now is an important time to be going through such as ritual. 

The game being framed as a ritual works very well and there are great ways this is reinforced in the text. Players use tarot cards for inspiration and there are moments where players must recite specific words together that really drives home the ritual feeling. The way the cards are laid out during play also has strong ritual imagery.

Collaboration and discussion are key to this game and are encouraged during each of the game rounds. Higher player counts likely would create the most engaging sessions, though there is a solo variant included as well. 

Also, I highly recommend the physical copy and the cloth playmat. Both are high quality and, the cloth playmat especially, beautiful!

I use Affinity for layout and formatting

If you're asking where I've printed them, I've printed some on my home printer and I've printed some with Moo

I had a great time with Crisis in the Jwi-dal of Musin! 

This is a solo game using the Hints and Hijinx system. It is inspired by historical K-dramas. While I'm not very familiar with the source material, there is enough context in the introduction and descriptions of the locations of the mystery, in my opinion, that I never felt lost or unsure of what do to.

The clues and complications included gave me plenty of guidance to come up with a drama-filled story and plenty of hijinx! 

I rolled pretty well and ended up with a lot of clues. My detective was successful in solving the case! It felt satisfying building upon the story as I played. It felt natural to add onto the details slowly throughout play and I ended up surprising myself where everything went. 

I just added some more community copies! 

I love this! Thanks for playing and sharing your experience!

Thank you! 

Sure! I'm at junkfoodcrew at gmail dot com 

Thank you! The artist/graphic designer for Moon Rings, Tyson Whiting, did the design and art for the card deck

Thanks so much for playing! 

Yes, you were correct to take damage during the Resolve phase when you had no cards in your hand and the Guard hands had higher numbers than you.

So close! Thank you for playing! 

I'm curious to hear more about the solo journaling book club!

Thanks so much!

Oh wow! Thanks so much for playing! 

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for playing! Yeah, it is meant to be kinda difficult to complete the ritual. 

I LOVE your version of the prince. That is so fun! 

This was an awesome event! Thank you for posting the recap! It was fun to participate in

Thank you! 

The idea of using it as bonuses in a ttrpg is so fun! 

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!

Yes, we do plan to a print run for this. I'll likely make a post and update the itch page with links when that becomes available.

Hey, thanks so much! 

You would spread the actions before your next turn. 

Just added some more community copies! 

This is a fantastic one-page game! I just did a playthrough and particularly enjoyed how Close the Case works. My mystery remained unsolved, but I still had a great time

Thank you! 

Yeah, that's cool! I'd love to see whatever you come up with! 

I just refreshed the community copies pool

This is really cool! Great take on the tiny/one-page game!

It's got me super inspired to try to make a game formatted for a cassette case!

Thank you!

Wow, what a beautiful game! While it was a quick read (not a bad thing), it managed to also be extremely powerful and surprising. Highly recommend this!

A simple and elegant lyric game! Excellent layout! Very excited to learn what the birds are trying to say 

That's awesome! I'm happy y'all had a good time!

Feel free to send me an email at junkfoodcrew at gmail dot com about the discord bot. I'd love to take a look at it and discuss more 

That's awesome! Thanks for checking out the game! I'd love to hear how it goes. I don't know much about discord bots tbh 

Without trying to spoil anything, the HT prompt on page 51!

This is a great solo game! I just finished my playthrough and the vibes throughout were full of mystery and spookiness. There were a handful of moments in the game that really surprised me and I had no idea what was going to happen until I reached the end. Highly recommend

Yes, I saw this morning when the email came out! I was so excited to see it in there! Big fan of the Soloist!
