Hi, Strange Places is currently my top selling. My best guess is that it got some podcast coverage a year or two back. I think/hope people also find the theme compelling and unique to other games on itch
hi there fabulous creator. Just curious if there’s any more community copies available? I really appreciate game creators like you who do generously offer these community copies to people going through a hard time. It really helps out.
Hi! I just bought the game but I'm having troubling understanding how to build the deck (sorry, i'm italian). Is there a video or another explanation somewhere? Thanks. I'm going to play it solo.
Hey thanks for checking out the game! I think I can help: So the game is played with 12 cards from a standard deck (I'm not familiar with Italian decks, but this game was not designed with them in mind). Start by removing any jokers. Find the four Aces and set them to the side and shuffle the deck. Deal out 6 cards into a small deck. Randomly insert your Aces amongst the 6 cards so you have a 10 card small deck. Then add two more cards from the main deck to the top of your small 10 card deck. Do not shuffle. That small deck of 12 cards is what you'll use to play the game. For each journal entry you'll pull the top card of the small deck and use its prompt to inspire you.
Let me know if that helps or if you have any other questions.
Just started a game with a friend of mine, and the prompts are brilliant (also, the mechanic is straightforward and makes sense, which is great). Really enjoying it so far. This is also a great way of fleshing out a character for a story.

Out of curiosity: by sales, which of your epistolary RPGs is the bestseller? Any speculation as to what makes one more sought after than others?

Thank mate! All clear now, I was able to build the deck with your instructions :-)
