It's been a lot of fun and I feel like if folks are going to take the time to create a thing and put it into the world, it's worth a look, right? Plus, it's great to see how other people are building games. Gives me great ideas for my own projects!

It's a great game. I'm going to suggest it to some teacher friends as a tool to talk about climate change. Well done!

I haven't finalized my plans for Inktober, but I'm leaning toward Greetings From Beyond The Wall as my prompt generator this year. Much more interesting (to me anyway). Thank you for sharing your game!

It's a great game! The artwork is what drew me in (I love the light, doodle style!) but the game itself was so much fun! I am still heartbroken at the loss of Cobweb. I don't think I will use the Sacrifice mechanic again. (I will totally use the Sacrifice mechanic again. It made for a better story.)

Thank you for making this game! I love me a good table, and yours had 10 good ones. Really solid and entertaining game made even more impressive by fitting onto one side of one page. AND! The rules were super clear. I didn't have to guess at anything. Two thumbs way up.

I have a few regrets that I didn't submit Last Call in Arkham to the Ennies this year because they now have a Solo Category! Even so, it would have been wicked hard competition in this field. These are all amazing games. I know my favorite, but which one is yours? Voting is now open! bit.ly/4wH1hyJ
