Is there any chance to get a markdown version of this? The PUSH SRD one is amazing as a screen reader user. I want to buy this, but I am admittedly hesitant that the PDF won't be accessible. This game sounds amazing. Hoping to check out Kismet at some point too. Thanks for awesomeness.
Hey, there! Thank you so much for your support. Let me get back to you on that, I'll see what I can do
Would love to give this a go .. right up my alley.
Do you ever do review copies? Would love to feature on my channel.
Yup! Shoot me an email (it's on my website) and we can work something out
Hello! I was wondering if this game is kid-friendly? I’m looking for take-home writing activities for my struggling students for this year and don’t have the $ to purchase all the options to review. Thanks.
This looks like something I need in my life! Any chance of more community copies being available anytime soon?
Thank you @capacle!
You got it!
this is a lovely game! i picked up a community copy (i'm sorry 🙏) yesterday but i will definitely be sharing this around as much as i can. it is actually really fun and such a great concept! thank you for making this 🥳
Thank you! Nothing to be sorry for, I hope the game brings you joy! :)
Hey! Here another warrior trying to win the battle to Yurupari.
I have a question, its very strange but i normally remember my dreams , since im enroled in the war against Yurupari i have blackouts a lot of nights, i feel im struggling really with this entity.
If i dont remember anything of the dream, what would be the score, its acumulative to yurupari, (1pt for not remember, another for dont reach the domain, another for dont skill the Gnoses, and so on?) or simply is one dot to the right.
Let me tell you that i find this game so exciting and usefull. lucid dreams is one path that always bring my attention and now with thsi gamification i am in the way (slowly but in the way).
Many thanks, is so amazing your work!
Hi, Mario!
Thanks for playing the game and reporting back!
Good question! It should be cumulative, yes. So 3 points to Yurupari. However, I wouldn’t mind a house rule of just losing the 1 point when you don’t remember the dream. I think you can make your game last longer this way!
Good luck with your lucid dreaming journey and let me know if I can be of further assistance!
As someone who has been trying to get into lucid dreaming for a long time, I find that this game is a great tool to help and motivate beginners. In the beginning, Yurupari was winning but with more practice, I'm slowly but (steadily) turning the tide into Ahiag̃'s favour. Thanks for the great game!
Thank you for playing it! I hope you keep enjoying it!
Currently loosing the war but trying hard to pull it back. I'm playing with a friend and we homebrewed a multiplayer rule. If we manage to dream about the same domain or gnosis in the same night, we each score an extra point. Thanks for the game!
Oh, I love your house rule! Best of luck to both of you!
Back to report that the war was won! It was tight, down to the last point :D
This is great news! I'm glad you kept at it! Thanks for sharing! : )
this is a amazing concept. but i have a question, with the score system, do you fill the small dots in or do you only fill in the big dots
Thanks for checking it out! You circle only the big dots (there are 5 to the left and 5 to the right, one in the middle)
thank you for the help! you have a great imagination
