It went super well! We're trying out different systems before settling on one to use for the next long-term adventure in our fantasy setting. Everyone enjoyed AtO, and we're going to do another adventure with (most of) the same characters next month. If that goes well, it may end up being our new game!
I’m reading through this game and very much enjoying the romance heroic fantasy you’ve created. I really like the removal of HP, the corruption track, and the Heroic Sacrifice. As I read through, I may make more comments in this thread…
Figure Someone Out: I like this move applied to NPCs but for PCvPC “they must answer honestly” steals some player agency. What about allowing a choice and providing mechanical bonus if they cooperate? For example: if they refuse or lie, they mark Fatigue or Corruption.
I really really like this. The moves and playbooks are very straightforward and everything just oozes drama and hard choices. So heroic and dramatic! I hope I'll be able to get it to the table soon, because it just reads so *intense*. If I do, I'll make sure to get my players to answer the survey.
By the way, I like the playbooks a lot, but I'm kinda inspired to try my hand at making some custom ones, if you don't mind?
Aw!🥺🖤 Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy you liked the game, because it seems you’re the perfect player for it! 😁
As to create custom playbooks, please do! And link them here if you feel like it 😉 I’d love to write many more playbooks (and even supplements) for AtO, but that’s in future. And even then: I love to see what other people come up with!
Thanks again and I hope you and your players have a great time playing when you do!
That’s my plan. Sadly I don’t know how to do layout but, if there’s enough interest, I’m willing to pay someone to create some beautiful (and useful, of course) play materials 😉

Playing this tomorrow morning. So excited! We have a Strategist, Bard, and two Mystics.
Oh, that sounds exciting! Let us know how it went 😁🖤

Hmm… I hadn’t thought about that. I’ll think about it for 1.2 or even some independent A-B testing 😉
That’s awesome! It makes me happy that you seem to be really liking it. I’ll appreciate any comments! ☺ 🖤
I LOVE the heroic sacrifice mechanic! Everything I want and need from a dramatic storytelling game. Can't wait to test this out some time!
Thanks so much for commenting! I’m glad you liked the Heroic Sacrifice and I hope you get to play the whole game soon! 😁 🖤

Great job!!! Thanks for sharing it!

I really like what you've done here. Hopefully at some point you'll be able to create some at-the-table reference materials?
Thank you so much for your kind words!

Even something simple would be great. :)
I'm still learning to try to do real layout too. If I ever get done with all my own projects, I'd be happy to help out. x.x
Hi there! In the last update (1.2) I finally added some printer-friendly play materials! I hope these are useful to you :)
Hi! I'd be more than happy to help! Hit me up on discord/e-mail if you'd like! :)

Hi! The colour you chose for the page links make them nearly unreadable.
Oh, you’re right! My web browser deceived me. I’ll change it right away. Thanks for commenting about it! ☺
