Welcome to the game! I've created other threads here with an overview of how the game works, the starting characters you can choose from, and a few introductory scenarios we can pick from when we are ready to get started. I'm happy to answer any questions you have. :)
Feb 25, 2025 12:01 pm
Hi folks! :3
I'd love to play Percival Combustion or Lady Sheridan for the chapter, and if I need to go with a resident, probably Yazeba, Sal or Hey Kid. Although I like pretty much all characters, so if we want to switch things around, I'm happy to reconsider!
For the chapters, do we pick any of those? Purely on vibes, I like Lights Out, The Breakfast Feast, Another Rainy Day, Who Knows How a Garden Grows (green friends!) and Wash Cycle. I don't mind trying the others though, these are just the favourites! :D

Yes, you can play the chapters in any order you wish, so pick the one that you think will be the most fun. :)
Also, you're able to choose different characters for each chapter, so don't feel like you need to be beholden to any one or two in particular. Unless, of course, you like them so much you just want to keep playing them!

If that's ok, I'd like to play Amelie. Seems like it would be fun :)
(If that doesn't fit the chosen chapter, I'm fine with any other role)
For chapters (going on FS's suggestions) I'd opt for either How a Garden Grows or Lights Out.

Looks like Garden or Lights Out are early favorites. We’ll wait for Drgwen to join to see her thoughts.
Feb 26, 2025 12:13 pm
Drgwen still hasn't accepted the game invite. I sent a PM to see if they missed it.
In the meantime, I think "Lights Out" is a bit less complicated than "Who Knows How a Garden Grows," so I think that will be a better chapter to start with. I'll play Parish, so TheGenerator can play as Amelie and FlyingSucculent can play either Percival or anybody else of their choosing. I'll open the chapter thread here shortly.
We could either wait to officially start until Drgwen joins us, or get started and have them join in when they're able. It's up to you all. :)

Alright. In the meantime, you can look over the rules for this chapter and let me know if you have questions.
Feb 26, 2025 12:45 pm
Hi all! Sorry for my delay; for some reason I missed the invite! Thanks to Dmbrainiac for the nudge. Happy to be here!
Feb 26, 2025 12:46 pm
Later this morning I’ll read through and express some preferences and/or ask questions. Thanks!
Feb 26, 2025 12:47 pm
Um, maybe? I haven't really used that feature yet. In my other game, I simply had a real deck of cards that I would draw from and then post which cards I drew! But I can play around with the decks here to see if it would be a viable way of doing things. Chiefly, I'm not sure if you can remove cards from a deck when it's time to reshuffle.
Oh, and welcome @Drgwen! Glad to have you here with us. :D

I haven't used the card deck before. Afaik, it's customizable but only in terms of a deck of playing cards. I'll also check it out when I have some time. Probably this weekend
I'm pretty sure reshuffling once again refills the deck to the starting one. But who knows, they're always making changes here.

OK I've read through all the materials you've posted, DMbrainiac, an this game is adorable!
For characters, I like Hey Kid and Viv the most, but I am also happy to try out others too, like Gertrude or Yola. For chapters, I think the Pensive ones are my favorites, but then again I love deep, emotional chats about finding my place in the world, like in After Dinner, which might be a little heavy for this game. So I think I'd be happy with just about any!

Feb 26, 2025 3:59 pm
The pensive chapters are some of my favorites, too. While it’s a mostly lighthearted game, there are some heavier themes featured in certain chapters. The especially heavy ones come with a little warning tag.
But for now, we’re starting with an eerie chapter! Either Hey Kid or Viv would be a good choice for this chapter, so play whoever you would like. :)

I'm feeling Viv for this one! hey Kid would be more fun for a Frantic or Pensive one, I think.
Feb 26, 2025 4:08 pm
Do we just start RPing in the lights out thread? Or should I still wait for something?
Feb 26, 2025 4:12 pm
You can technically use custom deck - with scripts - and just edit it every time we reshuffle, but it's probably more hassle than it's worth.
Alternately, we can just do a numbered list of cards and roll the dice, shortening the list each time.
Or, and I think it's the simplest one, just leave the deck as it's and simply ignore card repeats. XD
I like getting philosophical at times, but I think it's best to start with something easy to get in the groove, you know? I'll absolutely be up for pensive chapters later!

Was I right in thinking that this game had been billed as having a slower posting pace? I will try to post once a day and often more but occasionally, it might be a day or two. I hope that’s not a problem.
Feb 26, 2025 5:02 pm
Yeah, it was said to be about 3 posts a week. For me it will also depend from week to week how fast I can be.
Feb 26, 2025 5:07 pm
Yeah, same for me! I usually post every other day or so, but I can miss a day or two at times. I certainly don't mind pauses between posts. :3

Yes it will be a more relaxed pace. I think everybody is just excited to kick things off. I usually post frequently but I'm going to deliberately pace myself so we don't leave anybody behind!

Do we talk OOC about what we're thinking of doing next? Because my current idea is to have Amelie tumble down the stairs cause of all the stuff they're carrying. 😅
-insert image of Amelie sitting on the basement floor with a bucket om their head, cleaning things scattered around-
Not sure if that counts as a whoopsie because it's not in Amelie's list. Just RP fun, I suppose.

Feb 26, 2025 5:32 pm
If Amelie takes a tumble, it can lead into Percy's whoopsie of blaming it on himself. :D I was just thinking of accidental arsonism and knocking stuff around without meaning to so far, but there are many possibilities!
Feb 26, 2025 5:53 pm
OK cool! An please, I welcome the enthusiasm! It's fun to play with folks who are excited. I just feel bad sometimes when I keep everyone waiting. But Life!
Feb 26, 2025 6:08 pm
Ah, same! Though in different direction? I often panic when I think I displeased someone and start over-apologizing. :'D ...You probably can guess why Percy is the one character who spoke to me.
I hope it's not a problem I posted right away, I just had a good moment to write!

You are certainly free to RP and do whatever you’d like your character to do, both within and outside the framework of your Bingos and Whoopsies.
Once everybody is here and ready to start in earnest, somebody will need to do a Bingo or Whoopsie specifically to press on and start drawing cards from the deck. When an Omen is revealed, we will stop and wait for everybody to have a chance to react to it before somebody else interacts with the deck again.

I made a "character sheet" for the game, but it's just the image of the Viv page. Is that OK?

And how do I post as her? I don't see the option here, like I do in other games. I apologize for my ignorance! I just joined GP like a month ago.
Feb 26, 2025 6:28 pm
@Drgwen Yes, it's perfectly fine to just have the image for your character! I've approved her, so you should see the option to post as her now.
Feb 26, 2025 6:41 pm
I don't mind people going ahead with RP while I'm too busy to post. Sometimes the back and forth between 2 characters goes very fast. But please keep in mind that others might want to chime in on a conversation that they are not yet part of.
It has happened to me that I've logged in to find 10+ new posts and I missed a chance to add something fun to the 2nd one when the moment is already past.
I would appreciate ppl watching out for that a bit ☺️. But I won't be a sourpuss about it either. Hehe

Oh, I have one! Are we going to be using GP's card decks?We'd have to keep a list of "out of the deck cards" and redraw if we hit one of those.
How many cards leave the deck on average in a chapter?

Hey all, how're we doing? Thanks for having me and lovely to see some of y'all again, or meet you if you're new!
Is Braniac playing Parish? (And I might need to refamiliarise myself with this game, it's been a while.)
If so, I'll probably play Yazeba herself!

@Tickettbror, I posted as Parish to kick things off, but I’m happy to cede him to you if you prefer to play as him. Yazeba is a good choice, too!
Feb 27, 2025 8:13 am
I don't mind, I can always play Parish for a different scenario. For now I'll play Yazeba, but I won't be able to set up the character sheet while I'm at work
Feb 27, 2025 8:31 am
Alright, no problem. If you have time to post, you could do so as your player profile and then edit it later once you've submitted your character, or just post later today. :)
Feb 27, 2025 8:44 am
I might not be posting for the next 30 hours. I've got a busy day followed by a 13hr flight. If I find time, I will :)
Feb 28, 2025 12:10 am
I'll post as Parish tomorrow morning to get things moving. I won't post again until Monday so Tickettbror has time to make the character sheet and join us.

All good! Once @Drgwen posts, anybody may do a Bingo or Whoopsie to push on to the next room.
Mar 12, 2025 8:16 pm
Anybody who wishes to move us along may do a Bingo or Whoopsie to draw from the deck.

OOC:
Anyone who isn’t Parish must do a Whoopsie about it immediately!The last time, when you said "Anybody who isn't Parish.." I interpreted it as "all the players have to...". But now I'm thinking I might have read it wrong.
Mar 13, 2025 8:53 am
Ah, you're right. The specific text is "anyone," not "anybody" or "everyone." But it also doesn't say "somebody." Like many things in this game, it's open to interpretation. We can say that at least one person needs to do the Whoopsie, and now that they have, we can continue on. :)
@Drgwen, Viv hasn't drawn from the deck yet so she'll have the opportunity to do so now if she wants to.

FYI, I have a surgery in a few hours that may prevent me from posting for a day or two. No worry, though-- the surgery is a happy thing--it's a gender affirming procedure.

I'll give @TheGenerator a chance to react to the skeletons menacing Amelie, then I'll post for Parish to try to find a Hearts card to scare them off.

First a shut down and now a stunned fear. Amelie is having a tough time in the basement.
Enjoying the RP though! :D

Now that the spooky stuff has been resolved, anybody who wishes to may press forward with a Bingo or Whoopsie. Percy, Viv, or Yazeba haven't done so a second time yet. :)

@Drgwen, I believe Viv is up for exploring next with a Bingo or Whoopsie, if you've recovered enough to post :)

Congratulations on completing our first chapter!
I've created a new thread with a link to the tracking document for Characters, Tracks, and Shelves. Here we can see the progress everybody has made on their journeys, make notes or changes to character sheets, fill out assorted tracks, and place Mementos on Shelves to make progress towards unlocking new things. Take a look at it when you have a chance.
At the end of Lights Out, we turn the Omen cards we are holding into Leftovers. Everybody but Percy had 4 Omens at the end of the chapter, but I'll be fair and give Percy a fourth Leftover as well. These Leftovers are used to mark tracks on each character's journey. I went ahead and marked them for Parish, Percy, and Viv.
@TheGenerator, Amelie's four tokens allow them to make the first step along their journey. They can either add, cross out, or change one of the lines of their Programming.
@Tickettbror, Yazeba's journey doesn't have a track. Instead, she makes progress by being mean to different people! We can look back and see if she can check off any of the items on her journey's list. Her 4 Leftovers can be used to mark one of the Assorted Tracks. Some of those tracks unlock new Guests and a few lead to more Mementos, so take a look and let me know where you'd like to put them.
We now have our first Memento! Take a look at the different Shelves available. The one Memento on its own isn't enough to unlock anything just yet, but we can decide as a group which Shelf we want to start working towards unlocking first.
Once all that's done, it'll be time to pick the next Chapter that we play! Take a look at the Chapters threads and let me know which one(s) you'd be interested in playing next.
Let me know if you have any questions! :D

It’s at the bottom of her character sheet. You need one more mark to complete the first part of the Journey.

Apr 9, 2025 7:37 pm
There was interest before in playing "Who Knows How a Garden Grows." We could do that for our next chapter if you all would like.
Apr 10, 2025 8:31 am
Alright, I've posted the new chapter's introduction and rules. Take a look and decide who you would like to play. We'll somebody each to play Amelie, Sal, and the Rabbits. The remaining players may choose any other resident or guest they would like. Once everybody has chosen, we can begin posting!
Apr 10, 2025 11:18 am
I'm going to wait and see what everyone picks, if that's ok. I'd like to give Amelie to someone else for this chapter but I'm not sure if I want to play Sal.
Apr 10, 2025 3:14 pm
Folks, I'm sorry to say, but I'm failing to get invested in this game. I'm not entirely sure why I struggle with it so much, but I think a good part of it is the pacing - it is a little too much "thing happens - everyone reacts once - new thing happens" for me. I like prolonged character conversations way too much and struggle with reacting to stuff retroactively; enough so that while I'm trying to compose a post, things move forward and I get stuck again in a compounding mess. XD I think it's just my fundamental incompatibility with the way the game is structured - which is fully my fault, I should've researched it better.
I'm game to try another chapter in case it was just specifically that one which messed with me so badly, but since I'm considering withdrawing, I'll withhold from making any persistent decisions for now.
I'm happy to try playing Sal, since he was one of the characters I was interested in originally. Edit: or maybe Rabbits, if someone else prefers Sal!
PS: I feel like I've done disservice to Percy, but alas; maybe someone else will play him better down the line. :D

Take care, Drgwen!
@FlyingSucculent, it is mostly the eerie chapters that are structured in the way you mentioned, with everybody reacting to an event before another event occurs. The other type of chapters allow for more freeform play and conversations. Frantic chapters can get a little wild with events happening, but relaxed chapters and especially pensive chapters lend themselves better to the type of play style you favor.
If you like, we can hold off on the garden chapter and try a relaxed or pensive one instead. I’d hat to let one bad chapter sour you on the whole game. I can post the full rules for chapters you might be interested in so you can have a better idea how they might play out.

I can't pass up on a chapter about gardening, even if it is frantic - it's in the name! Even if we're gardening veggies, not succulents. :D
I'm happy to try it, especially since it seems to be more of a back-and-forth between characters mechanics-wise than the previous chapter was. And if my slower posting is a problem, I can probably play Rabbits as they are more passive characters? Although I'm pretty happy with Sal or even picking someone new/continuing with Percy.
And you're probably right that the pensive chapters would be more my jam. If the garden one goes well, I'll be interesting in trying a pensive/relaxed one after. (Checking the rules before might be a good idea, although you never know how it'll go in practice... I'll see how this one goes first!)

Thanks for the fun game, @Drgwen!
I don't mind switching to a more relaxed chapter if you'd enjoy that more, FlyingSucculent. Or I'll try to engage in a bit more character interaction to give you a feel of that experience too :)
Sal's "coast on by" attitude might be a good fit if you wanna take it slow and talk more?
I think I'd like to be Mr Boggs. But I'm also ok with being the rabbits. Sal would be my 3rd choice

Okay, so it looks like things will work if Tickettbror plays the Rabbits, FlyingSucculent plays Sal, and TheGenerator plays Mr. Boggs. Then I would play Amelie.
If this is acceptable to everybody, we can begin posting.
@FlyingSucculent FWIW, I thought you did a great job playing Percy. :)

By the way, for Chaos Coins in Frantic chapters like this one, we can roll 1d2 for each one we need to flip. A 1 represents heads while a 2 represents tails.

I'm going to wait to show up when the main characters have had a chance to start.

It might not be the point of the game, but I fully intend to commit to playing Tic-Tac-Toe in the garden. So prepare for much bribery for your Xs and Os!
Out of curiosity, are there any measures to prevent a softlock? Since there is a limited number of veggie tracks and Rabbits can delete Xs and Os, it's technically possible to run ouf before the garden is finished.

Much of the rules are open to interpretation. Should that happen, well, we'll just have to decide how the chapter ends!
Apr 13, 2025 4:50 am
Another quick clarification: does placing X/O in the garden counts as ticking a track? Specifically, does one need to flip Chaos Coins for that? (I would imagine not, as otherwise the Couns will scale very quickly, but it is *technically* a track...)

Hey all, I'm going to be away from the 15th to the 23rd without internet access, I can maybe get a post in tomorrow but I wonder if Braniac (or someone else) wants to handle the rabbits until I get back?
Apr 13, 2025 3:32 pm
I can attempt to play Rabbits, although I'm not sure how effective I will be at it. XD
..Although, I think it might be funny if we all play a rabbit, kinda like secondary additions to our posts. That'll make three (four?) rabbits, a pretty balanced number of critters to do some vegetable stealing (even if they still technically only get one turn)!

I think it's fine if anyone who feels like it plays the rabbits until Tickettbror is back, like FlyingSucculent suggests. Sounds fun!
Have a good trip, Tickettbror!

Sure, everybody grab a Rabbit and have some fun. :)
I'm out of town for a short trip so I'll post again Tuesday morning.

Got a very busy weekend coming up. From Friday to Monday I expect not to have much time to post. If I find time, I will though :)
Apr 22, 2025 1:28 pm
Isn't Tickettbror away until the 23rd? It's probably inclusive, so might want to wait until the 24th, at least?
Apr 25, 2025 7:28 pm
I'll make my next post on Monday, hopefully @Tickettbror will be able to rejoin us by then. :)
Apr 25, 2025 9:27 pm
Hey, yeah I should be back. I wanted to get something up today but I got hit with back to back meetings as soon as I got back to work. :’)
Apr 30, 2025 11:10 am
Starting tomorrow (Thursday) I'm out of town until Sunday. So I'll likely be slow to post.
Feel free to progress the story without me.

I have a question - are we maintaining a turn order? I was trying to follow a pattern, but it is now off-track and I don't know if I should post or not. All post went in order ASBR-ASBR-ABS-ABR (as in Amelie, Sal, etc.), but mechanically meaningful posts went ASB-AS-A, so am I safe to assume that if someone doesn't do a mechanical thing on their turn and only does flavor, they're skipping the coin check?
(I know, I know, it's not a mechanics-first game, but I just worry about accidentally skipping someone. XD)

If I don't do a roll, it's because I didn't have a good idea on how to. So yes, feel free to skip me. In the end we're just working together anyway since progress is always shared.
May 14, 2025 4:26 pm
I’d just say give everybody a chance to make a post before making another of your own. There’s no strict turn order, and not every post has to be a mechanical one!
Jun 6, 2025 10:18 am
Hey, I think we might have a bit of a case of us waiting for each other in this game?
The posting order fully skipped me last round, so I thought you moved ahead and I didn't need to post for it, and in the current round I would prefer to post after Rabbits. :D
Edit: not to hurry, of course! I was just wondering if you were waiting for me while I was waiting for you. XD

I had posted for Amelie since the Rabbits had given them their "O." But feel free to post for Sal, with two attempts at checking coins if you'd like to make up for being skipped. The turn order isn't strict, and I don't want it to be limiting for people to post at all. Just have fun and let's grow this garden. :D

I do like strict initiative, but in this case I just want to go last, to give myself more leeway to not get ninja'd. :D Although if we don't follow any order, I guess there is no such thing as last? ...Anyway, I'd prefer to wait for after Rabbits if it's fine with you all!
(Also since *someone* deliberately rejected my bribery, it's probably better if Sal goes last so him and Boggs can interact without accidentally skipping Rabbits. XD)

I noticed things weren't moving along much, but I didn't mind as I've had a busy week. Hehe. So also from my end, no rush.
Jun 6, 2025 2:46 pm
Ah, I was thinking I posted too recently and didn't want to steal the spotlight but I'll get a post up soon. Hopefully I'll get one up today or otherwise on Monday!

@TheGenerator, hey, I'm sorry for asking this, but can I please request that you give me at least a couple of days to post next time? It's a bit disheartening to be skipped over and having to rethink my posts because of it, especially when I requested a specific spot to post in. :(
Of course, you don't need to adhere to it! I know I'm not the fastest at writing so I'm fine with folks pushing ahead, but each time makes it harder and harder to catch up. And I'm sorry for bringing the speed down; if it's becoming too much of a problem, I can just withdraw! :)

My apologies, @FlyingSucculent . I had no intention of skipping you. I was only trying to be on time because of a busy schedule and didn't think Mr. Boggs's actions would ruin what someone else was going to do.
If we're sticking to a set turn order, is the order the following?
Amelie - Rabbits - Sal - Mr Boggs
If so, then I know when I need to post next time.
Again, sorry for messing with your post and thanks for being honest and letting me know :) I appreciate that.

Do you want me to remove my post? I have no issue with doing that. Just let me know.
Jun 9, 2025 10:50 pm
Oh, no need, although I appreciate the offer! :D
And I don't mean to ask for a strict order, I was just hoping to have a defined spot in this specific case cause I knew I'll have trouble writing a post after a lot of stuff happened since my last one and I'll be slow with it. I'm really bad at adjusting my posts when someone else jumps in while I'm still writing, so with long ones it's almost always a guaranteed pain - which was why asked for it. Probably should've been clearer that I'd like to post directly after Rabbits, in hindsight. XD
Either way, it's fine, just wanted to mention that the request had a specific reason! I also hope my post isn't too messy due to all this.
...You are getting saddled with the chaos coins next turn though. >:P

Understood :) I'll leave more time for you to jump in next round.
Your post looks perfectly fine to me.

No worries :)
I don't have anything in particular to add as Mr Boggs right now.

@FlyingSucculent You can spend 5 coins to fill up a plot without flipping them. Since you have 7, you can just do that ;)
Jul 1, 2025 12:31 pm
@TheGenerator if Mr. Boggs want to act now, he may. If not, I'll post for Amelie again.
Jul 14, 2025 1:31 pm
Is anyone else having difficulty with this chapter? I'm not feeling very creative about it to be honest so I'm wondering if that's just me. Perhaps if I'm not the only one we can just finish up and proceed to something new?
Jul 14, 2025 1:37 pm
I'm fine with shifting gears to a different chapter if everybody would like to do so.
Jul 14, 2025 1:44 pm
Honestly, I'm finding it a bit too mechanical I guess? I'm not sure how to phrase it, but I feel like the chapter's coin flipping and things come across a little bit intrusively.
I'm also finding the rabbits harder to play than Yazeba and I honestly have no idea why. They're not so far from my usual characters so who knows. ^^'
Of course that's not to say I'm super against this chapter if we wanted to stick around with it too, by the way!

I like mechanics of this chapter more than I did the previous one's (and the theme, but I'm susceptible to plant bribery in general). The cards were a bit too simple for me, and the the constant switching between scenes made it way too inconsistent for my taste. This one I find writing for easier since it's a continuous event, and like it more. :3
But if you all want to switch chapters, I'm not going to oppose it. I would like to finish it, but not at the cost of everyone else's enjoyment. XD
PS: maybe me and Dmbrainiac can speedrun it to the end and then I can still get my plants and we can still switch chapters? I do have a couple of mostly free days coming up when I can probably post quickly for a while.

If FS is enjoying it, then I don't want to take that away from them.
Please feel free to speed-run it if you'd like to :)
I will still chime in here and there when I feel it fits or when anyone mentions Mr Boggs. But no need to wait on my posts.

Sure, @FlyingSucculent and I can go back and forth and go through the rest of this chapter. It's Sal's turn to post. :)
In the meantime, we can start deciding which chapter we want to play next and run them concurrently until the garden chapter is complete. Perhaps a Relaxed or Pensive chapter will be a better fit for everybody!

@Tickettbror, are you okay with me posting? Not sure if you were planning to post as Rabbits still. :D
I will refrain from choosing a chapter since my last offers weren't the best. XD I think I'll only ask for no fishing chapter. I don't like fishing.

I'm not big on fishing either, so I'm happy to avoid it. Go ahead and post though, I'm still kinda struggling on the Rabbits at the mo.
To pick a chapter from each category I'm interested in;
Frantic: The Pancake War
Relaxed: The Breakfast Feast
Pensive: A Mug of Winter Cheer
Eerie: The Witch's Missing Shadow
