What you’ve created and provided to the TTRPG world (and creative universe within us all) is just incredible.
I got your game randomly in a bundle and I don’t know that I’ve ever been happier with one of life’s serendipitous moments. I’ve only worked through Section 2 (playing Goblin Mode), but I’ve already not only developed the most real (to me) character I’ve ever written, but the world he’s a part of (and, sadly, apart from) is slowly being developed in such a natural way.
Your prompts are so so *chef’s kiss* so good at forcing you to consider aspects of a character that would’ve otherwise never even crossed my mind, and they do such a good job of linking in to other prompts, causing them to become ever more interesting and intricate.
Thank you so much for bringing this amazing tool into existence! It’s brought an unexpected and deeply appreciated spark of joy into my life.
As an aside, if it’s not too forward of a request, I would love to read more about the gay werewolf trucker you talk about in the game description. Since reading about him, I find myself wondering who he (or she) is. I find the whole premise fascinating.
Anyway, I’ll stop gushing. To anyone who reads this, do yourself a favor and buy this game/tool/work of wonder!
Hi there! Oh my gosh, thank you so much for your wonderful comments. It genuinely makes me so happy to read when people are getting value out of something I've created. I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoy the prompts and it's helping you with your writing. This made my day, especially as I am sick with covid right now, it was truly a ray of sunshine in my inbox!
I do actually have a bit more written about Lachlan on my website, as I used him for a playtest of another wonderful solo game "The Almanac of Sanguine Paths" by Rori Montford. This playtest is published on my website - its just a few prompts, but if you're interested to read it then you can find it here (https://www.gothhoblin.me/blog/2023/09/28/the-almanac-of-sanguine-paths-playtest). Once I get around to doing a full playthrough, I'll definitely use him again.
Thank you so much again and I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy writing :)
There is a character in a book I'm trying to write, and I thought she's a bit flat, so I played the game with her, and now her storyline is greatly improved. On top of that, it was so fun to write, and I really enjoyed how general the prompts are, since it allows you to use the game for all sorts of different genres. Thank you!
You're not trying to write the book, you are writing it ;). You're not an aspiring writer, you are a writer. Remember to have confidence in yourself and your work. I'm sure it's great!
This was sooo helpful and fun to work through! The prompts actually encourage you to go nuts with it, which I super appreciate! The multi parts of the prompts are super well thought out, I think. I went through it with an old dnd character, and it was overall really fun. Def recommend.
I enjoyed playing this so much! It is a wonderful example of how solo journaling games can be used to create compelling and in-depth stories. The prompts were carefully written to provoke interesting responses from the player, encouraging them to answer with the overall narrative in mind. It took about two hours to play to completion, and enabled me to journal a story that could act as a stand alone or inspiration for a characters backstory. I highly recommend it!
