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 😉

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! 😁 🖤

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! ☺
