Hello, I have a question that I don't think has been answered here yet, even though I have looked (as an aside, your pfp on itch is very cute and happy). How do I pronounce Hæth? I would like to know when I talk about this game out loud. Thank you.
Hi! There's a lot of really wonderful Actual Plays available online. My personal preference is for the one with Brennan Lee Mulligan and Joseph Fink, found here:
But also if you go on Youtube and search up "Wanderhome" there's a ton of great actual plays by some amazing content creators. I hope that helps!
I hope someone does! I’m a hunt-and-peck typist and have a terrible few hours transcribing. I’m waiting out computer-generated transcription. Google has a service called Lens that’s getting close!
Is there a way to donate to the community copy fund? I see it's getting low and that makes me happy that so many people were able to grab a copy, but sad that it's almost empty.
i dont think i have ever felt such warmth from a ttrpg - such careful consideration and gentleness. i am a lonely person but the fact it did not look down on me for playing solo made me smile. i am glad to have supported ths great work!
By all the gods this is a delight to read through. This game reminds me of Golden Sky Stories and Ryuutama, except with a pinch of The Wind in the Willows. I love it! So happy to have backed this on KS all those months ago!
Highly recommended! My group and I have now played several times using the pre-release playkit and have come away soul-nourished by the experience.
The light touch of the rules strikes a perfect balance of being richly vivid and completely open-ended.
Your group will find exactly the amount of ‘things happening’ that you need on that day. You’ll move naturally from quiet mulberry woods with trailing silk streamers to sinister verbal sparring with an old crow nemesis to sailing in a high aqueduct canal atop your big beetle mount enjoying the sunshine.
At the meta level, the mechanics and gameplay will put down deep roots and improve your other roleplay (and if you do it, your own game design). Wanderhome, I predict, will be allegorically an album oft-cited as an influence by future favorite bands. Excellent game!

Reading this is bringing back childhood memories and magic. Thanks so much for bringing it into the world. I can't wait to play!!!
Hello,

That's your call! People tend to go with "Hayth" or "Heeth", but I don't have a preference
That letter in IPA is the same vowel as cat, bat, and rat!
oh thanks for the insight!
Super excited to play this one, but I'm having trouble imagining how a session would look. Is there any planned "actual play" or breakdown of play?

This games look so lovely. COngrats.
The very same! I hope you enjoy 🥰
Wow, a little research on my part would have been a good start. Sorry about that, and thanks! 😁
There’s so much! They’re so pretty. I feel held.
:heart:
edit: i made a playbook!
i am equal parts incredibly enamored and deeply fascinated by this
I'm really intrigued by this but is there any chance you could type it, please? It's quite difficult for me to read. Thanks!
I hope someone does! I’m a hunt-and-peck typist and have a terrible few hours transcribing. I’m waiting out computer-generated transcription. Google has a service called Lens that’s getting close!
Thank you for your interest, let’s wait together!
i've transcribed it to the best of my ability, with minimal formatting in the event that i've written anything out incorrectly!
For the love of flower fields, someone commission this person! There’s formatting and everything!
i found 4 words of errata (in a 708-word transcript!):
Thanks again!
Oh wow thank you so much! i read it out loud (as my solution)!
have a good day i’ll go read the transcript now 🏃🏼 thanks again!
So cute, the read aloud version! Love you.
Are you providing copies to reviewers?
Yes! Please reach out at main@possumcreekgames.com with a link to your review site, and we'll send you the press kit.
Awesome, thanks, Jay! 😁

Not at the current moment, but we're working on it! I hope to have a solution soon.
You just hit all copies claimed! Congratulations!
😮

Firstly, [obligatory spiel of love and recommendation, seriously, this game is lovely and amazing].
Secondly, I want to point out some maybe-flaws? They're more nitpicks if anything but probably best to catch these before printing?
- There are some page-colour changes in the natures and traits section, and I'm not sure if they're purposefully there? If they are, please ignore.
- The Lost trait doesn't have that trauma signifier beside it, on page 130.
Again, Wanderhome is absolutely stellar and unendingly wonderful. Can't wait to see more of your work!!!
Hi, thanks so much! Could you do me a huge favor and send those to our typo form? Found here: https://forms.gle/RuSL1qhFrBgJhmon9

Just took a precursory glance through the pdf, and while I can't say I've played it yet, I can't wait to dig into it!
The system seems fun and unique and right up my group's alley, so needless to say I'm going to organize a playthrough as soon as I can.
