I’d like to adapt this game and add it to my school journaling project eke my students. Would it be possible to receive a community copy toward my insanity? My email is Sharyna at gmail dot com if possible. Thank you!
After looking at all of the expansions, my faerie tale loving and neurospicy brain feels the need to add that I want to hoard them all and use them adapted with my kiddos. But I would be delighted just to start with a community copy if it’s possible. This whole system entices me.
You're correct. I've been meaning to spin down the Patreon for some time. That said, any failure to honor what's up there is unintentional. 😅 I'll see about getting that fixed ASAP.
(My apologies for slow reply. It's been a busy month and the RPGs aren't my job.)
i have played this game and it is fantastic, it's very rich and atmospheric while being flexible enough to give people space to tell their own tales within! just curious because i'm a little short financially rn are any community copies going to be released/available?
We've been considering options for lower income distribution for some time now, to account for issues like income equity issues globally and situations like this. But it seems like there's no good alternatives supported on Itch beyond community copies, which become a generic grab bag for the quickest to act. 🤔
What the heck, though, we'll put some up! Get it while you can. 😊
A unique setting for tabletops and larps that offers a lot that other "Fae in modern day earth" systems don't. At the same time, things are flexible enough in their setup that it is easily adaptable for how you want to run it. That you bring your own favorite mythological and folklore-based creatures and legends to it is definitely a strength of the system that you will rarely find elsewhere. I've gotten a lot of use out of it, as both someone who runs it and plays it.
One of my favorite games of all time, been playing since it came out and every new expansion adds depth to the content in a very unique way. For anyone who is a fan of mythology and folklore, regardless of region, I can't recommend TGD enough. If you're a fan of the Fae you'll instantly fall in love.
I love this game's attention to a consistent theme. A lot of the worldbuilding is useful immediately with plenty of room to make up your own specifics and build off the basics. The abilities are also all flavorful and well fit to fairytales.
The lore, system and setting is fantastic! I think the concept of a human weaving their soul with a fae is interesting and unique relative to other urban fantasy RPGs. Moreover, the use of Tarot cards for skill checks instead of dice is incredibly novel and makes this RPG stand out even more!
Lightweight combat system and RP-focused gameplay makes this honestly my favorite tabletop system to run, as it's far less math focused so you can get right into the fun parts, like hanging out at your local bistro, or fighting entities from beyond the known universe! The only real limits are what you can imagine and what your storyteller will tolerate from you ;)
This game is such a fantastic concept and so well executed. I love the use of Tarot cards instead of dice, and how the suits play into combat is a neat touch. The flexibility of character creation is amazing, though a supplement with some example motifs might not go amiss, for those new to the system.
This is a fantastic game for small-town gothic fantasy. I love the Connections that tie you to other people, and the way the simple system is written keeps it out of the way of the roleplay, which is especially great in larger games like LARPs.
The Gloaming Diaries is a game that has a beautiful setting, and amazing flexibility for character development. The rules are clear and precise, but easy to read and learn. The character creation is also very easy, and mostly limited only to the imagination of the player. Overall, it leads to a really fun game that is easy to learn, even for someone who might be new to LARP.
The setting of this game is intricate and beautifully written. There are elaborate rules to create the Gloamspuns, your half-fae, half-human characters. I also like how tarot cards are used in the resolution mechanics.

Hi! I joined on Patreon but was only able to get a couple of the expansions there. It looks like it hasn’t been updated there in a long time.

super fun game with a lot of versatility to it , You can make it your own or go with the base concept and get creative from there.

Much fun, great lore, would play for another couple years.
Thematics creating mechanics is great and this RPG does that fantastic as well as a good modern fantasy to play with pals
For anyone like me who wishes they were secretly a dragon, this is a great game to live out that fantasy
Easily flexible enough to allow for just about any myth or folklore out there- gods, demons, urban legends, whatever. 'Tis quite snazzy.

Hi. I just discovered your game. Any chances of publishing it via drivethrurpg?
Hi! I hadn't given serious consideration to using drivethrurpg. May I ask why you'd be interested in it being over there?
My current credit card isn't accepted here.
