Now Folk Hero is out in the world, I am collecting feedback before I commit it to print.
I always like to try new things in games, and in Folk Hero this was horizontally flipping some of the text to save any inadvertent spoilers in solo play. I'd love to know what you think of this.
The ideas is that you use a mirror or take photo with your phone camera and flip the text.
Does it work? Is it too finicky? Any other comments.
Whichever format we land on for the solo scenarios will likely continue forward as I create new ones.
Let me know any thoughts, comments and suggestions in the comments.
So, the beta PDFs are out. I've used the BackerKit distribution system for the first time ever, so the truth is that I have no idea if I've done this correct.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll let me know.
This version is prettty much where the game will be, bar a proofread (happening over the next few days) and maybe me moving a couple of things or having a stupid idea and adding it last minute.
What happens next?
Well, we are going to try get to print and fulfilment ASAP, so we'll be sending out the 48 hour to charge cards for shipping / add-ons and then we'll be sending everything out to the printers.
You will also receive an updated PDF as soon as we have the finalised version next week.
That's all for now. I'll keep checking the comments sporadically to see if everything is working as planned.
I just wanted to let you know that I have been busy finishing up the beta for folk hero this weekend. I have a couple of pages I want to adjust, so it will now be Wednesday before I release it.
Trust me when I say the last edits take longer than the initial write. This is nothing new. Writing is editing. The good news is that this is a firm date as I have all the pages in and first pass edited. If you want a little more proof, here are the layouts as they stand:
Just a few gaps to fill in and I'm done.
There's a fair bit more content than I originally anticipated, including a total of 40 Monstas and a ton of prompts for use in solo and multiplayer games.
Right, I'm cracking on. I'll post the game on Weds.
While you await The Folk Hero PDF (coming later this month), here is a preview of the weapons available to you. There's also a fun poll at the bottom. Please vote if you can.
I've raided the shed and the kitchen cupboards for these.
Which one is calling out to you and why does it fit you're heroes vibe?
