Hi there, I'm interested in getting the Yuletide bundle for a friend but I don't see the option to buy the bundle as a gift. I can buy the individual games as gifts, however. Is there any chance the bundle could be made purchasable as gifts?
I am enjoying this game so so much. As I go, I'm adding little bits and bobs myself, and I feel like the game gives space for that. I really imagined the game going one way, but as I got into it, it's gone somewhere totally different, and I love that. I was a little worried because it's my first solo rpg but the mechanics are perfect for a beginner.
I've already added one expansion and am excited to add others. I also feel like the game gives you space to add your own stuff, so I've created a little side quest to repair one of the items in game. This is money absolutely well spent.
I have enjoyed this game so thoroughly in the time that I've been playing- I've not played as much as I wanted to, but it's the exact kind of cozy RPG that I was searching around for. I've never done a solo RPG before, and I was nervous about how the rules would work and if the game mechanics would be too strict, but the structure of the game is absolutely perfect for the beginner level that I'm at. I love the witch I've written, and they've taught me so much about who I am- at first I wrote them to be completely different from my own identity but I've figured out through playing that we're perhaps not as different as I'd originally thought. I bought the digital copy so I can take it with me on my ereader and my goodness do I feel like a modern witch whenever I do.
One of my goals in the new year is to really dedicate time to playing this game, just for myself. It's hard to get myself to write when it's not going to be shared with anyone, so I might do a blog of my playthrough, but... If any game can get me to keep something small and secret and warm, tucked away just for me, it would be this one. Thanks for creating it!
Hello there! Today I finally started playing the game and I'm really happy with it. The only thing I'm currently a bit confused by are the upgrades. It is stated that you can start with a garden plot and that the garden plot can have one reagent at a time of value 8 or lower.
How often and when can you harvest it? And would you need to have a specimen of the plant first to plant it? Like you'd have to collect seeds or spores or something to plant it? Or is this up to the player?
Thanks for answering and also making such a cool game :). I played it with my mom (even though it's solo but we made our decisions together) and we had a blast!
Hello, I got my copy through a BundleOfHolding deal and am just now starting to explore through it. I have a question, in one section it states that the Locales have Secondary Sections with Reagents. Was there supposed to be a second list for the Secondary Locales and their Reagents? The version only has lists for the primary locations.
Also, I don’t see anything about starting with any silver, do you arrive with nothing to start?
I'm not entirely sure where you're getting the Secondary Sections bit from. It could be referring to the fact that Reagents have multiple locations that they can be foraged from? In that case, it's all still the primary locales you just look at the Tags next to the Reagents and apply them appropriately e.g. something says Forest (5) then that's Glimmerwood Grove.
Or are you meaning Blastfire Bog, The Cloud Isles, Dreamwater Depths, and The Strange which are Locales which have requirements you need to meet in order to enter. In that case, there's an explanation for that in the book.
There's no difference between this version and the BOH copies.
Also believe I already have my familiar. Going to base him off a plushie I have. If anyone is familiar with Quincy’s Tavern, I have Koko the Adventurer, a baby gryphon. Thinking he’ll be a perfect familiar and companion since I will have him next to me when I’m writing.

Hi, sadly that seems to be an itch issue as there's no option on my end relating to gifts.
Okay, no problem. Thank you for checking!

Glad to hear you're having such a good time <3

I'm sorry, but is there any chance that some additional community copies will be added?
What a beautiful game! So magical and fun!

Yup! Here it is https://itch.io/s/122343/blackwell-bundle
thanks!
any chance community copies will be updated soon?
I would love to review this game for a community copy, please!

And you arrive with no Silver :)
That’s what I was doing, overlooking the tags and not realizing that that is how they worked for the Locales for the Bog, Isles, etc.
Thank you for the clarification, sorry if I was being a bit thick headed.
I will have to buy an updated copy here, want the bonus material and pages versus the spread so I can print a copy for ease of play for on the go.
