Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in providing community copies of your game. I’m a disabled pension who can’t afford much so these free gifts really help me out in playing games and keeping my mind active. I won’t be broke forever so plan on coming back when I’m able to help out.
I really appreciate your hard work and kindness in providing community copies.
I ran this for five players and we had a great time - we played online and i modified one of the playset miro boards so we could do our own setup, really appreciated that you have created such good online tools for the game. If not using a playset, budget in an extra 45 minutes to an hour for the setup phase, we went for about 4.5 hours total including a couple of breaks. It was such a good game; we decided we were elves living on a floating city above a flooded world vying for control over the trade routes and skyships with our jail buried in the depths of the sea, and we tore ourselves to pieces so efficiently the Knife barely needed to do anything.
The only bit I initially had an issue with was using the cards online, since my brain had difficulty with the idea of mapping them to a normal deck suggested in the online play tools and I wanted people to be able to read their own prompt cards. I made a playingcards.io room with all the cards uploaded into it and I think it works pretty well - happy to share if you would like it.
Hey! Thanks for sharing, sound amaaaazing! I love it when the villains basically screw themselves—that’s certainly by design :)
I’d love a version of the online tools that included the cards, but nothing really worked as intended at the time. I keep looking for alternatives that might let me do the whole thing, though!
The ones you have are really great, I don't know what else you could have done. The playincards.io room worked well for us though, hopping between the two tabs wasn't an issue - as I said I'm happy to give the file to you if you would like it, the site is free and the files are very easy to import :)
Hey! Two things really: that the number of cards would be fewer per player, and that the premade playsets only have four player characters included. I’ve heard lots of people reporting having a great time with 5+ (even 8!!) players though :)
I played this for the first time yesterday at a small rpg event we do near my place, managed to play it with 8 conspirators pretty smoothly (with some tweaking) and had the fun of a lifetime. In the end we obtained a pretty convoluted conspiracy board and everybody was happy! Amazing game!
Hello! I consider getting this to have it printed. Are the card designs created with enough margins to make this possible? And are the 4+4 opening/ conspirator ccards the same size as the rest?
I'm hoping to have a PDF with a card on each page, because that's what the printer needs. Thank you very much!
Okay, if anyone else is considering this (and Jack, for you as feedback), the cards cannot be given to a printer as they are, because there's no margins (either in addition to the card format or an inner margin). The way they are, printers cannot cut them with precision. Additionally, backs and fronts are not in separate files, which printers hate.
To create the correct files, you need to: a) Print a PDF from Cards.pdf with this pages option for all the backs: 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,31,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,46,61
b) Print a PDF from Cards.pdf with all the front sides: 2-15,17-30,32-45,47-60,62
Now you have 2 PDFs, which your printer company will like! Alas, they have no margins. Maybe you can order cards that are a little bit smaller (say, 64 x 114, cutting 3mm off each side), that would be easiest. There's no text near the borders, you'll only lose the colored border. Jack, if you included these files and erased the colored border, people could more easily give it to printers! If y'all have access to something like GIMP, you could open the PDF and color in the border in the color of the background (which I will do).
I'm looking forward to playing this soon! :) My printer takes 17€ per card set.
If you're looking into the comments unsure of the game let me just tell you: buy it right now. Do not even claim the community copy, go pay the 12 bucks, it ain't much and it's absolutely worth your money.
One of the best gm-less storytelling/worldbuilding games my group has ever played. We went for the Count of Saint Lazare playbook (because otherwise we would get stuck on worldbuilding for 2 hours, thank you for the option) and it was an absolute blast. I really liked the amount of flexibility even the premade world and characters allowed, each of the players had a Conspirators who was vile and detestable in the exact way they enjoyed (Pierre-Voclain yoU BASTARD). Prompts were fun, structure was great and art was inspiring. The only suggestion I could really give is that some of the epilogue questions assume the Conspirators to be still alive and yet it is impossible to reach the end without feeling a deep need to kill all of them off, thus rendering the choices for questions quite limited (mostly suggesting it as a joke but it was an actual issue my group encountered lol). My friend already suggested we play Arcadia Prime with a slightly different group in the near future and I cannot wait.
PS: Appreciate the Miro board. It is absolutely stellar. The single best one I've seen for any rpg so far.
I tried to check out the Miro Boards after reading through the playsets. I was only able to access the Lament of Broken Glass. Game looks super fun! can't wait to try it out
Weird! They should all need a password, as detailed in the ‘playing online’ doc with the links. Miro is down for maintenance at the moment but I’ll check back next week and make sure it’s all working :)

hey, happened to look at the page this evening, and noticed some of the image links have broken! just thought you'd want to know!
Will this be reprinted with cards at some future point?
Not any time soon! The book version has just been printed, so no current plans for any other print runs :)
Hello ! I was wondering when does the boxed version (with cards) will come out ? it is just written "preorder" on your website
Is there a way to get a physical copy of this?
You can preorder the book version here:

The card version is no longer in print

What limitations would prevent this game from being played at a table of 5 players?

Good to know! Thank you for the quick response! :D

The game includes a PDF with a card on each page and a set of PNG files which each one is a card.
Hope this answers your question I just got the game.
Thank you, that sounds perfect!
Hey! Sorry I missed this. The pdf is formatted for printing, so hopefully you should be good! All the cards are the same size :)
Wonderful, thank you!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review, very glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
I’ll have a review of the epilogue questions as I redo the layout next year :)

I ran into the above problem as well when trying the board for Saint Lazare: the board asks for a password.
Weird! They should all need a password, as detailed in the ‘playing online’ doc with the links. Miro is down for maintenance at the moment but I’ll check back next week and make sure it’s all working :)
This looks so incredibly cool. And WOW, that header art is absolutely killer.
Thanks so much! Rafael did an amazing job :)
