I'm confused on the Budget rules, I think the example doesn't match the description. The example given is
A of Hearts, A of Clubs, A of Diamonds, 3 of Spades, 3 of Hearts
but it also says the order was Diamond, Clubs, Hearts, Spades. It says the first step is 2 + 2 + 3 + 4, but going by the chart shouldn't it be 2 + 2 + 3 + 3? A +4 shouldn't be possible with the chart.
Also, it says the bonus is +3 because it's "Three of a Kind", but this is clearly a Full House, which is +6.
Also, should I be replacing the cards back into the deck as I draw them during character creation and gameplay? Like after I create my character, I should create my Settlements, but should I put my character cards back into the deck?
Thank you for bringing your confusion regarding the Budget rules to our attention. We apologize for any inconsistencies or inaccuracies in the example provided and the corresponding description. Allow us to address your concerns and provide clarification.
Regarding the example given, you are correct in pointing out the discrepancy between the order of the cards and the calculation of the total value. We apologize for the oversight, and we have since corrected this in the latest version of the rules. The example now aligns with the chart, resulting in a total value of 2 + 2 + 3 + 3, as you correctly pointed out.
Furthermore, we appreciate your observation regarding the classification of the card combination. Initially, we intended to designate it as “Three of a Kind” with a bonus of +3. However, upon reviewing your feedback, we realize that this combination should indeed be classified as a “Full House,” which warrants a bonus of +6. We apologize for the confusion caused by this inconsistency, and we have made the necessary adjustments in the latest version of the rules.
Regarding your question about replacing cards during character creation and gameplay, we recommend that you do not replace the cards back into the deck after drawing them. It is not necessary to return your character cards to the deck after creating your character or during gameplay. Instead, we encourage you to continue playing until the deck is fully exhausted. At that point, you can shuffle the deck and begin a new session of gameplay. Please note that a single deck is intended to be used for one session of gameplay. You can play multiple session, this way it is easy to keep track of time.
Once again, we apologize for any confusion caused by these inconsistencies in the rules. Your feedback is invaluable to us, as it helps us improve the game and provide a more enjoyable experience for all players. If you have any further questions or require additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.

I'm new to solo journaling games, and I don't have a lot of the unsaid knowledge of how many of the things work that comes with the genre. I'm giving this game a try because I saw it recommended on reddit and I'm interested in this for it's world-oriented solo experience, as opposed to character motivation-driven solo experience like Ironsworn. I'll let you know if I have any more questions when I give it another go.

Hey there! I just saw the post where you upgraded this game to a new version. I was just wondering when you are going to post the update to this page. Thanks for all you do!
Hey there, is there any news to share on this game? I'm very fond of it so I thought I'd just check in and see if we're likely to get any of the proposed additions from the former itchfunding list in the foreseeable future :)
Thanks alot for downloading and playing the game! I really appreciate it.
For some updates... so far I've only managed to get it translated into Chinese, Arabic, and Spanish. I'll be releasing those this weekend. For add-ons unfortunately the work has been rather delayed. I'm experimenting with several exploration systems in-train and outdoor to include and might've just found something that I think would work. I'm testing it, and I think a mid-next month before I could release the add-on :(
But I am working on it whenever I'm able. I also want to make sure to deliver entire addons I've planned no matter how long it'll take. :D
This game look really cool and I am loving the idea. I was about the purchase the game, but before I do, I wanted to ask you a few questions. What state is the game in now (what percentage do you think the game is completed)? Is the PDF that's available for purchase currently a complete game. Or will it feel like it is missing something? How many pages is this book currently?
The game itself was made to completion and the current state is complete. I'd like to playtest it, balance some things out, and fix some typos, but that will take a long time. So I'd say it is complete but with future updates if there's any feedback. :D
There's also the demo version. Maybe you can try that one first. The demo version is pretty close to the finished version except the finished version is slightly more polished and with more content and it comes with pretty graphics :D
You’ve submitted to a large number of jams, which is something we typically only see those who are spamming their game. Could you please take a moment to review all the jams you’ve submitted to, and remove your page if it’s not a good fit for the jam. Please reply to my comment to confirm once you’ve done this.
Sure. I will also be adding this submission straight to the project page. I did not remove any jams and reviewed each Jam and requirement fulfillment below:
The goal of the Jam is to create a repository of table-top games with clearly described accessible options so these products are easy to access for those who want to play them.
requirement is met with accesible version available.
The goal of this jam is to make an Adventure Gamebook, these are much like the interactive fiction you know, but will often have more traditional RPG elements such as asking players to write on a character sheet or roll dice.
Hi Leafo, was wondering if you're there as you seem to be a moderator of sort. I've received a "Jams Submissions are limited..." recently after a period of inactivity in december. Was wondering what cause it as there's no reply from the moderator yet.

Of course!

Hi Leafo!
Sure. I will also be adding this submission straight to the project page. I did not remove any jams and reviewed each Jam and requirement fulfillment below:
I've complied with the rest.
Do you intend to make an earnest effort to release 19 more games during Sepjember?
I have the plan to. More like a few modules I'd like to try and release as a standalone game before compiling it into a bigger set of games.
There's like 17 more days, so I need more than 1 game per day to make it happen :D wish me luck!
Check again~ there’s like 27 more days (and 4 hours) Just, yanno, try to start everything inside September.
!?
Wait you're right! I didn't see the 2 extra weekend. :D
What a godsend. And here I was wrecking my brain on all the games I wanted to make.
I'll go a little less crazy... Thanks for letting me know!
