This game was exactly what I needed to get out of a creative rut! The prompts are so delightfully vivid, and the progression from section to section really makes it feel easy to spin out a full, (once) magical world. I’m already having an incredible time using the last world I made in a game of Hawker, and I can only imagine all the other TTRPG systems that would sing with ALOM worlds behind them. Looking forward to getting the full physical game!
Since the game is pay-what-you-want, you can get a "community copy" by just clicking "Download now" and then "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" right?
This game can technically support as many players as you want, but comfortably 1-4 or 5. You can play it solo, and I know some who have, but it's simple nature of answering questions is intended as seeds to discuss and expand on with others to riff off!
Game time is also variable, since the "goal" is to get discussions going and ideas flowing! I've used individual tables to play a quick 20 minute game at convention lobbies and also had whole 3 hour worldbuilding brainstorms going thru all the tables available!

Thank you so much for making this available to us, Viditya!
Any chance of community copies?

I think when I wrote this, the download now button was missing. Or else I was tired and missed seeing it.

How many players does this game support (or recommended)? Can it be played solo? Game time?
