If you guys have also backed and played GSS please share your stuff, or hell, any other game like it that focuses on non-violent, positive stuff, post that too!

I helped playtest the translation, and it turned out really swell. :neckbeard:

I was really involved for a handful of playtest sessions compared to the others, mind, but yes this game is freaking adorable. :3:

 Speaking of nonviolent RPGs, I really liked Do: Monks of the Flying Temple. Here's the old Kickstarter page.



You're a group of very young monks, and you can fly, because you're unbound by earthly concerns. Every Monk-In-Training has to go on a pilgrimage, where they get a bunch of letters asking for help from all sorts of different worlds. For example, someone's home island may have been eaten by a whale. Or a wicked baron has sent an army of clockwork soldiers to take over the world! The game is GM-less, with players taking turns being the "Storyteller" or troublemakers, and basically your group's well meaning blundering is supposed to make the situation a lot more complicated before you're finally able to resolve the problem.

Here's a sample letter on Daniel Solis's website.

Dear Monk(s)
Hi how are you! My name is Melanie. I come from a very small planet.
There is me, my house, my cat, and two trees (see drawing).
I am not so good, because my planet has been eaten by a whale.
It is a very small planet. I woke up and I was inside a whale. I don't want to get (more) eaten.
Please help!
your freind
Melanie (age 8)
P.S. Drawing is on the other side.
P.P.S. I will make you cookies.

I did a good job! I am helping! :neckbeard:

I'll see what we can manage for Mononoke Koyake. I've been fighting to get stuff lined up for printing and fulfillment, so the PDF extras aren't as high a priority, but it would be cool to get that out in time for Halloween. (It's also just a really nifty book in general.)

In other news, the PDF of the rulebook will be going up for sale for non-backers very soon!

I remember that you were alluding to bears being playable in Mononoke Koyake. I want to be a helpful bear, Ewen. Just, an actual bear that goes around town, delivering mail, taking out the trash, directing traffic. It is my dream and only you can make this possible.
