Played this at a con and loved it! Do you have versions of the playbooks that are not form fillable and include art like in the rulebook? I noticed on the Medium form fill playbook that the list of powers isn't included under "Storm Conduit". Was hoping to get a version that includes look options too.
This game uses a tried and tested dice-based resolution mechanic when randomness is required, but in the spirit of card games, is there a card based resolution mechanic one could use in stead?
For card battles you use cards you make yourself and draw them as you'd expect in any tcg!
We tested a full card-based resolution, but random cards felt too needlessly complex and slowed down the game, and choosing cards in hand gave too much control for the shounen theme.
Our new game (Despair Dilemma) uses a card based resolution though! Taking on some of the things we liked and had to scrap in PD.
This game is super boss, dawg. I've played a couple of sessions with it and I genuinely adore every aspect of it. There's also a hefty amount of freedom when it comes to adding new keywords, so there's plenty of possibilities to replicate effects you see in other tcgs.
i would very much like to join the discord for this game but I can’t find it anywhere I purchased this a couple months ago and I’m working in tabletop simulator to make a good experience for when I run it with friends it would be nice if I knew more people who love this game as much as I do
thank you so much I just saw this I was gone all day since yesterday with a friend that’s moving away soon so I didn’t see this at all but I’m glad I have it now it’s a great game and I’m glad you decided to make it
I believe some fans have made something up for TTS atleast! I think Foundry too. But nothing on Roll20 is actually very hard to work with for this game because its card systems are very awkward.
There have been a lot of fan tool projects, so I'm not sure - I think there's an excel based one somewhere atleast. But if you ask in the Discord server someone may have what you need.
Wanted to post my rating as a comment as well "A very well put together game with a wonderfully thought out system that maximizes on creativity for making your very own card games to battle it out with and create some amazing RP moments as well. If you like over the top TCG anime or just RP and TCGs this is the game for you."
Finished reading the entire book over the weekend and I am floored at the style, detail and spirit of your game. As a person completely enamored with the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime as a kid (and an avid player of Magic the Gathering as an adult) bravo. I am so excited to run this game for my friends!
Question for you as a fellow game designer: will you be expanding on the game with third party content/game jams? I would LOVE to write a sourcebook/campaign for your system with a cool badge on the cover and proper attribution. I know you're busy with your backerkit rollout but I would love to see some third party assets/resources in the future if you were interested!
It's something we've been considering for some time since people in the Discord are very excited about the possibility. At the least it's likely that once everything is rolled out that we'll develop a proper open license for the game
Thanks for finding that! The quick play kit has a good few typo's that ideally well get to eventually fixing up, but we don't want to push an update through until they stack up significantly enough.
I'm glad y'all are being smart with your time and only pushing that update once it is worth it. I'm very excited to see where this game goes, and will be purchasing a copy as soon as that is an option!
We've partnered with Japanime Games for a retail release, so we should have additional physical copies available at some point. Ofcourse right now our focus will be on backers.

All the pages are there in the main book! You can use a PDF cutter to get the pages you want to print out specifically.
are there printables for the base playbooks like you have for the booster pack? :3c
this game is incredible by the way!!
Check the "Resources" section below the main download! We've included it as a demo so players don't have to pay if their GM is using the game.

Will there be a thing for roll20, like a fillable character sheet? and customizable cards?
I believe some fans have made something up for TTS atleast! I think Foundry too. But nothing on Roll20 is actually very hard to work with for this game because its card systems are very awkward.
Will it be possible to get hardcover copies of the book one it's officially released? I missed the backerkit.
Our publishing partner is working on a retail version. Keep an eye out!
Bought it. Own it. It's better than I could have imagined
is there an online character keeper for this somewhere?

Lovely colored cover there, Double Summon Games team.
hello. I bought the game from you, it wasn't pre-sale, and I saw about an update called Booster Pack Update - Version 0.4.
I would like to know if it would be possible for me to have access to the material, or if I will have to wait for it to come out before I can see it.
Hi Serial. The Booster Pack is an expansion that is currently in playtest and backer exclusive. We're working to get it released as soon as possible.
sorry to know that.
Anyway, I found some errors in the book, but where do I send an errata?
Theres a channel in the discord server: https://discord.gg/mrUBmekt5N

This game looks amazing. I can't wait to try the full system.
Just a quick note: I found a typo (your instead of you're) in the section "Cards in my deck" in the quick play player's kit.

will the book be available to purchase as a physical copy at some point in the future? I was too late for the campaign.

Ok sweet. I’m excited to see this awesome game on store selves.
Amei a proprosta do jogo, realmente diferente das comuns.
It doesn't look like my itch.io account has an access key yet. Is there a delay on those being generated?
Potentially. Make sure your account matches your backerkit (including case) and is verified.
Otherwise you should get an email soon with a direct attachment link, and all backers should receive a direct download link soon.
Ahhh!
My play group has been waiting for months!
Let us know how it goes!!
I know it's supposed to be black and white like a manga, but I reallly wanted to give these guys colors as soon as I saw the cover!
How did their colors in my head compare to yours?
This is really cute! (Keep an eye out for more info as we move towards the physical release also ;)
Big congrats on the release, Double Summon Games. The game looks fun!
