Hello there! Thank you for your interest in our game and for considering writing a review. We truly appreciate your enthusiasm! 😊 In regards to community/press copies, we’d be more than happy to provide them. Could you please share your email address with us so we can connect and arrange the necessary details? We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

Or drop us an email at sparuh.com@gmail.com

We’ve recently migrated the game to our platform at https://sparuh.itch.io/scopicity. However, we’ve kept the original listing active for the time being to ensure that customers who have previously purchased the game can easily transition to the new platform without any issues.

Sure! Farming is a simple and fun action that involves two steps:

Step 1: Planting the Seeds of Choice

Choose a crop from your inventory and write it down on your Island Estate Sheet. Look up the Crop Oraclopedia to find out the “Time to Harvest” for your crop. This is the “Maturity Duration” of your seeds, which tells you how many days you have to wait before you can harvest them. You can also use the Custom Seed Action to create your own seeds with different characteristics. Write down the Maturity Duration on your Island Estate Sheet as well. Example: If you plant a crop with a Maturity Duration of 1 day, you can harvest it the next day. If you plant a crop with a Maturity Duration of 3 days, you have to wait for 3 days.

Step 2: Going through the Fate Step

Draw a card from the deck and see what happens to your crop. The card will either increase or decrease your Time to Harvest and the value of your crop. For example, your Fate Step result shorten your Time to Harvest by one day and make your crop more valuable. For example, your Fate Step results in a +1 Day to the “Time to Harvest”, and maybe even reduced the worth of the crop. You can envision it as: “Pest Attack” that lengthen your Time to Harvest by one day and make your crop less valuable.

Once you’ve planted the crop, you can continue to do other actions until your Time to Harvest reaches zero. Then you can harvest your crop by adding it to your inventory.

I hope this helps you. Let me know if you need any further assistance. Happy farming! 🌱

Hey there! 🌟 Totally get that the actions and Fate deck stuff can be a bit puzzling initially, but you’re on the right track! 🎲

After choosing your season and consulting the Rize Spirit, you’re set for step 2.

Head to page 12, “Game Flow: Starting your day,” where you’ll gaze upon the island—Enigma Eries on page 87, to be precise.

Let’s say you opt for an island activity like “Take a Stroll,” “Investigate,” or “Recreational.” Draw cards for the Fate Step as instructed, and let the story unfold.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a gameplay video at the moment.

Hello! 👋 I appreciate your keen eye and inquiry about Creature Sightings in our game. 🧐

I must apologize for the confusion. It seems there’s an error on that page.

To clarify, for Creature Sightings under Adventuring, consult the Creature Feature Creator. There are no rare or common creature oracle.

Instead, you do the same thing:

1. Draw a card
2. Head to Creature Feature Creator instead.
3. Match the card with the creature feature you’ve spotted
4. Assign it a worth—common or rare. (You can find the relevant information in the Worth Reference table on page 59.)

I apologize for any confusion and rest assured, we’re working on fixing this error promptly. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please let me know! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. 😊📖

Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience playing Scopicity co-op with friends! 😊

I completely understand where you’re coming from. Scopicity was originally designed for solo play, using mechanics similar to games like Alone Amongst the Stars - so having no defined goals or complex gameplay can make co-op feel aimless or confusing at times.

The core of Scopicity is really about building up your world over time and seeing how long it can survive against looming apocalyptic threats each season. It’s more of a chilled out, creative sandbox than a tactical gameplay experience. However, Using it just for worldbuilding and pairing it with Solitario for more guided co-op play makes total sense!

Now we’re thinking of implementing some new ideas:

• Introducing a “Goal” oracle could provide helpful guidance and structure for players during their sessions. We’ll look into developing something like that which groups could draw from if desired.
• A “Leader” resident or set “Community Goals” are also great ideas for giving players a unifying objective to work towards together in building up Scopicity. It would really help strengthen that feeling of an evolving, lived-in world.

I appreciate you taking the time to give thoughtful feedback. Hearing about your experience helps us better set player expectations and improve recommendations for different playstyles.

Hello, thank you for your interest in our game. Yes, purchasers of the previous version are eligible to get the new version for free. We have sent an email to all previous purchasers with a link to claim the new version.

It is an Itch.io sales page. You can claim it by downloading it from the sales page if you’ve purchased the previous version. Please check your inbox and follow the instructions.

We hope you enjoy the new version of our game.

Hi there! 👋 I completely understand your interest in having a co-op option for iXe. 😊 Unfortunately, adding co-op play won’t be possible in the near future as our development team has their hands full with our current project pipeline. I know how exciting and fun co-op can be though! 🎮

We do hope to revisit the idea of expanding iXe to include co-op play at some point next year after completing our existing projects. It’s definitely on our radar! In the meantime, please know that we really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback - it truly helps us prioritize potential new features. Thank you for being such an engaged member of our community! ✨

Thanks, we understand the confusion. We could’ve really phrased it better.

For your questions, you will refer to these two page:

1. Blessed Union (pg. 117)
2. Blessing Ritual (pg. 118)

Blessed Union is really split into two outcome:

1. Whether the Goddess found the goals to be satisfying, or not.
2. When it is satisfied it will proceed to the Blessing Ritual (pg. 118): Means either Success or Critical Success.

So, say you’ve got 12 scores + 7 (because it is all 7 goal connected to your “Why”) for a total Goal Score of 19 (Yes, it’s for the Ritual). Here’s what you will do:

1. Go to the Blessed Union and perform Fate Step: Assume it’s a normal success. You gain a +1 Bonus to your Goals Score.
2. Total Goal score now is 20.

• *Critical Success is means you get a higher chance by adding +2 Bonus to Goal Score.
• *Plot Twist is a failure + extra step.

1. Since it is a success, the Goddess gives a thumbs-up and summons all the spirits to perform the Blessing Ritual. (Head to page. 118)
2. During the Blessing Ritual, head to the Ability Oracle to buy an Ability (the cost is Divine Favor). You obtain Divine Favor by Nurturing Divine Favor from the Goddess (pg. 116). It’s similar to building a relationship with other residence.
3. You can improve your chances to gain the Blessing by sacrificing an item.

For the Blessing’s Fate Step (pg. 118):

• Critical Failure: You gain a Divine Item. Head to the Divine Item Oracle, draw a card and you obtain that item.
• Plot Twist, you can gain +5 Divine Favor, Gain a Divine Item, or You gain a Clock Power-up for one day, You gain the ability that you seek
• Success: You don’t get anything but you gain a higher chance when performing a Blessing Ritual in the future with a +/- 1. This means you can add or reduce the Fate Step value by 1. (Add this to your sheet)
• Failure: You failed and lost everything.
• Critical Failure: Similar to failure but you spend more time. Additional +1 TS at the end of the ritual.

How do you use the Goal Scores? I think this is not phrase properly of was just too small a text. It’s mentioned here: “The +/- allows you to add or deduct the number of the Fate Card during the Fate Step, specifically for the Blessed Union: Blessing.” in page 117.

• What this means is that the Goal Score = Bonus Score. Means you can add or deduct the Fate Step’s value according to your Goal Score’s value. In this case you have 20.

Let’s say you draw a 2 (Low Base) and K (High Base). You Fate Draw is A. You need at least +3 to be successful, and +14 to be Critical Success. You can deduct like this: 20-3= Success or 20-14=Critical Success.

Otherwise, it is a Failure.

But +/- means you can deduct or increase, lets say you wanted a Plot Twist instead of a Critical Failure. Then you just use your Goal Score and reduce the Fate Step Value from Critical to Plot Twist.

There is no remaining Goal Score. Once this goal sheet is used, you start with a new goal sheet.

If you have a negative Goal Score, the Bonus will be negative. E.g: Fate Step Value - 20.

Hi, no worries. We are still trying to work out the best way to give back to loyal customers and everyone who has supported us during the past year.

The new plan: We will likely send out a link for everyone who bought this game to claim the game for free during Halloween Sales.

• excluding those who claimed the game through community copies.

The number that for the corresponding Goal which is GYW:1, MAP:2, and TAO:3 is meant to be used when you seek the goddess and present her with your completed list of goals. She will then take the list and hold the Blessed Union ritual to judge it.

So the higher your score here, the more likely it is to get some benefits during the ritual.

So, if you have a goal like taking a stroll around the island and you are convicted to do it. You follow this step:

1. Write it on your Goal Sheet: Stroll (TAO)
2. Go to the Stroll Action, and perform the Fate Step. 2.1 *If the Fate Step triggers any additional steps, you perform it. 2.2 E.g: The stroll was a Success. So you’ve successfully strolled around the Island.
3. Return to the Goal action and refer to the Table.
4. You *Check: “The result leading up to the completion of this goal is the: Stroll Action”. It was a Success. So, you receive a +1 Bonus.
5. Perform a Fate Step and apply any of the 5 result. You could still fail the goal at this point.

• You could’ve gotten a Critical Failure, then you might have to revisit why you’ve failed so horribly. Maybe when you where walking, you were distracted by a weird looking cloud and ends up following the cloud instead and made it back to the house sooner than expected.
• It could’ve been a plot twist, which means you’ve succeeded. But something else comes up. (You can use the scenario oracle to generate a random scenario.)

Write down the score:

• Stroll result, Success = 1
• Goal Fate Step, Critical Failure = -1
• Goal Score, Critical Failure = Failure (TAO) = -2
• Total to be written in the Goal Sheet = -2

Hi pudge_fudge! We have some good news for you: we are launching the physical copy on Amazon very soon! It should be available within the next 72 hours, so keep an eye out for it.

We will publish a post with the link to the Amazon shop!

Hi there! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying the demo of our game, and we appreciate your interest in getting the full version.

Regarding your question about encounters and VP rewards, when it says “-VP,” it means that no VPs (Victory Points) are offered as a reward for that particular encounter. In other words, you won’t lose any VPs; it’s just that this specific encounter doesn’t provide any VPs as a reward.

If you have any more questions or need further clarification, please feel free to ask. We’re here to help and ensure you have a great gaming experience. Thank you for your time and support!

Hi, we are working on it. Most likely we will release it on Drivethrurpg too so you can get it there. FYI: We are working on updating it and will soon be releasing it on Amazon for a physical paperback copy. The 2nd edition should be ready by the end of the month.

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and for choosing our game! We’re thrilled to have you on board.

Regarding your questions:

Rule Cheat-Sheet or Quick Start Guide: We appreciate your feedback, and there isn’t an official cheat sheet. You can find a summary of all the game’s actions conveniently laid out in the rulebook from pages 86 to 168. This section should assist you in navigating the game more smoothly. The quick start equivalent can be found in pg.4. And we are trying to create a cheat sheet but it is not feasible for now due to the amount of content from pg 86 to 168.

Alternative to the Fate System: We understand travelling might not be an ideal situation to keep a deck of cards. Instead of packing physical cards, you can use virtual dice, which can be a practical solution. Here’s a breakdown of how to use them:

d4: Use this when you need to roll for the suit’s rank.

d5 (Fate Draw - Simple): Use this for a simpler session. Assign numbers 1-5 as Critical Failure to Critical Success.

3d13 to emulate Fate Draw - you can also use other dice setup such as 3d12 and experiment (Complex): We recommend you to use a 3d13 setup. Assign 2 dice as your base range. The higher die result is the upper base range, and the lower die result is the lower base range. Then, assign 1 die as your Fate Roll. Roll your Base first and then roll your Fate Roll die. Apply the result accordingly.

d52 or d13: You can use these for oracles or tables that require you to draw a card from the main deck. If it’s hard to keep track using the d52. Use a d4 to determine the suit and then use d13 to determine the number.

This approach allows you to play the game without relying on the fate system’s discard pile, offering a different but still random gaming experience.

You can use this website or download an app on your phone with it: https://rolladie.net/roll-a-d13-die#!numbers=1&high=52&length=1&sets=&addfilters=&last_roll_only=false&totals_only=false https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.rolladie.diceapp&utm_source=global_co&utm_medium=prtnr&utm_content=Mar2515&utm_campaign=PartBadge&pcampaignid=MKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1

Poison Tester is a hilarious and daring game that challenges you to survive as long as you can by eating and drinking random things. You never know what you’ll get, and the consequences can be fatal. It’s a game of risk and reward, with a twist of humor.

I like how simple and accessible the game is. You only need a d6 to play, and the game fits on a bookmark size. You can print it and play it anywhere, with anyone. It’s a great way to spice up your reading time or have some fun with your friends.

I also appreciate the safety disclaimer that reminds players that this is just a game, and not to try anything dangerous in real life. It’s important to be responsible and respectful of your health and well-being.

I think you did a great job creating this game. Thank you for sharing your game with me. I enjoyed it very much. Keep up the good work! 👍

Hello, this is Bing. I’m glad you shared your game project with me. 😊

Bookmarked sounds like a very creative and original game. I like the idea of using the book you are reading as part of the game mechanics. It seems like a great way to immerse yourself in the story and have fun at the same time.

I also appreciate the minimalist design of the game. It’s impressive that you managed to fit everything you need to play on a single bookmark. The Print-At-Home PDF is very convenient and easy to use.

The Story Mode and the Gremlins adventure sound intriguing and exciting. I’m curious to see how they play out and what challenges they present. I’m sure they will appeal to fans of fantasy and adventure genres.

I can tell that you put a lot of effort and passion into this game. It shows in the quality and originality of your work. You should be proud of yourself.

I hope you get a lot of positive feedback and support from the gaming community. You deserve it.

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creation with us! 🍄 It’s amazing to see how you’ve crafted a mushroom out of basswood. The natural look of the wood really gives it a special charm.

We’re curious, do you have any plans to add some color to your mushroom, or are you planning to keep it in its beautiful wooden state?
