Thanks for the summary of your process. I found this very interesting! I can totally see the elements that led to your game's success. I created Mountain Resonance in isolation and am only now trying to create a community for it. Your way is definitely the way to go!
It’s always so interesting to see how the sausage is made - thanks for sharing! It’s quite inspiring to see the rough elements coalescing into the final polished product- I always imagine that everyone else’s process is so much more organised and clinical than my own! Can’t wait to start my own playthrough of Gloam.
I´m one of those who saw the character sheets and replied to it. It´s amazing to see what you´ve turned it into. As a fellow artist, your lay-out and illustrations are outstanding...but it´s the speed by which you completed this that is madness. Now I need an article on decision making and focus :D
Showing your thoughts throughout your design was fascinating. I love tinkering and potentially designing things as well. So from Mid-November to May 1st, what surprised you the most about the design process? (ie... Did the rules take a long time to nail down, was going through public art tedious, playtesting, etc..)
Awesome. I am playing hidden Isle, the only other tarot based RPG I know but I think this has a better resolution for Soloplay. Very intrigued by the wound based combat. It's what drove me to check savage worlds and the broken empire
I love everything about this! Thank you so much for sharing your process. I love seeing how other creators get from idea to finished product. Well done and I look forward to playing Gloam!

Of course! Yeah I think building a community as you go is the way to go

Thanks for being here! I actually wanted to release it on Feb 14th but that turned out to be impossible

Yeah, finding art was probably the most tedious thing here. Overall though it was a rather fun experience

Nice to get a better perspective of this amazing game and your creative process. Thank you for sharing. Looking to pick up Gloam when I can.
Fantastic read Sam! Appreciate you and this game! It's given me a whole new perspective on RPGs and the vibes are contagious!
Gloam’s not cursed (at least in any way I can see), I’ve just been a bit lazy and overworked. More playtesting is a-comin’!
Completely understandable, I meant no offense!
None taken, I’m quite aware of my flaw where I put down a project and never pick it back up and have been fighting it for a long time
Thanks for sharing this! Love to see the creative journey. I look forward to seeing a custom tarot deck 👀
And regarding the footnote, I have been working on my own game recently so my actual plays have fallen to the side! 😂
Hahaha I figured it was something like that 😂 glad you’re well! Now I’m super excited to see your game
Thanks! It's bloomed into a much bigger project than I initially intended!!
This is a great insight into the game!
I NEED to pick up the pdf. Just waiting on pay day...
Kudos! And thank you for sharing your journey
Loved the tarot-themed cover and reading about your game!
