I was looking forward to play this game as I read some good reviews about it. Today was finally the day and I will definetly play again. The character creation was something I was looking forward to after reading the game for the first time. The confusing thing for me was how long my entries became for some of the cards. I said to myself to keep it short, but the good thing in playing alone there is only one person to judge you. I liked the tone, especially the advice as if to write a fairy tale. This gave my text a twist which other games do not have.
I did not like the throwing of coins, mainly because somehow I never learned how to properly throw them. I did not want to interupt my run to change to dice, but next time I will find an alternative for it.
The cherry on top was beeing able to read the design notes. Recently I became more interested in how games are designed and it was such a delight to read it after playing it. Thanks for sharing it.
You game just opened up to me all the possibilities of using tarot cards in RPGs! And what a wonderful world it is! Might have found a new passion. Ordered the awesome RPG-themed tarot cards. 😄
I'm loving this game!! Thank you for sharing it with the world! I've been playing it for the past few days. I know it'll be over soon but it's a really fun concept and I appear to be writing a lot.
I wrote a story based on my play of this game and posted it in a couple of places as a sort of story-within-a-story situation as part of a longer work. Thank you for making this. I had a good time with it.
Although that last "draw" of Two of Wands was more like accidentally knocking an extra card off the top of the deck and wound up being used for an alternate ending.
Really liked to read through the playthrough of someone else, thanks for sharing it. I also enjoy that you have written which and how many cards you have draw. I think I draw a couple less but felt it might have been more after ending the game.
I would like to make you a proposal for a French translation for your games, including Princess with a Cursed Sword.
I sent you a private message on Twitter on November 7th where there are all the details. Since you didn't read it, I'll contact you here to make sure I can reach you.

I really enjoyed my first playthrough of Princess With A Cursed Sword! I've posted the story I wrote with it up on my blog (https://www.fistfulofvalkyries.com/) to share with others. Thank you for making such a creative and interesting journaling game!
Really loved this game! The prompts were open/vague enough that I could take the story of my princess anywhere I wanted, and when I couldn't I could look at the image on the tarot card for inspiration as well. I could skip past naming the princess, form a general idea of a personality or let it develop as I wrote, and simply lose myself in the creation process. My princess came to a deathless but tragic fate. Would definitely play again!
This was wonderful! I loved how the image of the princess was not only gorgeous decoratiom but also part of the game, so i got to decide why her dress loomed like that or why her feet were bare!
This was my first time playing anything like this and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for making it and for donating it to the Texas trans rights bundle!

thanks! if you want a dice-based alternative to coins, you can roll six-sided dice and count odd numbers as tails and evens as heads!

An interesting game to be sure.
As an avid tarot fan, this was such a fun creative exercise! It helped me flex my improv muscles after being in a bit of a rut.
I wanted more games I could play with my tarot cards (I have too many).
This game is intruiging and helped me see that's its really possible to make narrative games like these. Thank you for inspiring me through this
I'm glad you're enjoying it!
wow i luv your work !
Thank you!!
