Would it be possible to get a version of the book without the textured background? I would love to print this on aged paper (while I wait for a reprint of the book)
I did. Thanks for the new files. I printed out everything and was in the middle of glueing the spine on a homemade book when I realized I forgot to include the second page of Burrows. Now I need to figure out how to fix this :D
Hi Jack, as a GM I love using your game for creating items for my campaigns. I was just wondering if you had any suggestions for creating armour or would you just suggest using the Shield?
Hi Jack! I was gifted a copy of your zine which I am in love with! The prompts and game play open up a doorway into the depths of my mind and fill me with so much joy in story telling, thank you! I however, am a little bit unsure about the set up, and I was hoping you could clarify something for me.
Under "create your item", when you say answer the opening questions about your artefact, do you mean just the initial paragraph about your creator?
I have played Artefact twice, and both times i answered all the Artefact Questions before i started playing, and I felt like I'd already been on an epic journey before I started, so I wonder if maybe I got it wrong... I'm not very experience with dnd style games, so sorry if it's a silly question!
honestly this game is one of the most inspiring things i have seen in a long time. The game inspires to create, to make games, to make books, to illustrate, to enjoy. It makes you want to try to create something as beautiful as this. Congratulations and thank you
After cooing over the lovely book after it arrived in the post, I've just completed the tale of my first Keeper and subsequent decade long wait.
Holy. Fuck. This game, this game, is absolutely superb. The relatively simplicity of the ruleset and open nature of the prompts hide an incredibly engaging experience.
I started with the idea that I might put my Artefact into another RPG, but I'm already certain that this story needs to play out and conclude in the pages of my journal.
You're welcome, it's rare to get such a beautiful work for such a minor financial investment! I'll be finding some community copies when payday rolls around.
Am I right in thinking you're based in Southampton? If so, greetings from a Ringwood native!
A brilliant solo piece about being an artefact. The numbers of types of artefacts and keepers will bring a lot of replayability. The prompts are interesting and the layout is wonderfully clean.

I have the same question! I'd love to print this out myself, but I don't seem to have access to the printer-friendly version in the game files!
Hey! Should be there now :)
Thank you so much!! :)

Hey! I think you asked for printer friendly copies of the bonus content too? It’s there now!
I did. Thanks for the new files. I printed out everything and was in the middle of glueing the spine on a homemade book when I realized I forgot to include the second page of Burrows. Now I need to figure out how to fix this :D
Cute! Share a pic when you’re done :)
Here’s the final result. It’s my first attempt of doing anything like this and I’m quite happy. Now to actually play the game!

This is incredible! Do you mind if I share on Twitter?
Hi, Jack. I heard about your game from Shut Up and Sit Down. It's amazing, and I can't wait to play.
I bought a copy through itch.io, here, and can download most of the files, but I'm having trouble getting the printer friendly version on your blog, https://mouseholepress.itch.io/artefact/devlog/139063/new-edition-launch.
Do you have any idea how I can download that?

That’s a cool idea for an artefact that I never thought of! Maybe I’ll try and find a few hours to knock out a new playbook :)
In the meantime, some combination of the Shield and the Footwear would serve you well.
Thanks, that should work well.

Hello! It’s intended to be just the opening paragraph about the creator - I should clarify in the book as I had a similar question last month!
The Artefact Questions are answered as part of the Keeper process :)
ah, I suspected I had got it wrong.
Thanks so much!
This looks so gorgeous, and yet out of sheer personal preference I prefer the design of the original. Is a physical copy of that available?
Hey! I love the original layout too, don’t sweat it 😉
All the original files (book, sheets, soundtrack) are zipped together into ‘The Artefact (old).zip’ for exactly this reason.
Cheers! J
Hi there, is there currently anywhere we can buy a physical copy of this?
Hey! There’s a little note at the top about this which should give you all the info you need 😊
I just put down my pen from my first game of Artefact. Mind blown! Thanks!
Thank YOU!

How do I rate this game? I wish to shower it in stars.
Wow thanks so much Jason, so kind of you to leave feedback like this!
I think there’s a button to rate the game on the game page (this page!), though it’s hidden on mobile.
