Thanks! I will definitely be making use of your amazing template :)

Thanks! Unfortunately, I'm essential services during the COVID, so my days are actually busier than normal, and when I get home, I just need to unwind. And I want to get a chance to look at how people write their prompts for the cards, and get more familiar with the rules in general.

Thanks for coming up with such an amazing game engine!

I just discovered this engine and game jam with the Racial Justice bundle, and I immediately have a idea, but I don't know that I'll be able to get a full polished game ready in time for the jam to be over - is it acceptable to submit a game in early alpha state, with the intent to go back to it afterwards?

Anyways, this idea just popped into my head over the weekend. It's part Norse Mythology (heavily inspired by the Poetic Edda  and Joanne Harris' Gospel of Loki) and part also about living a life where you feel you have to suppress part of yourself in order to avoid angering people who you rely on for your well being, and finally giving in to that wild desire to scream and rail at them and rub your identity in their faces, consequences be damned. Haven't written any mechanics yet, but this is what I wrote when I was nailing down the idea:

It was never going to last...
You were too different, too strange, too wild.
Only tolerated as long as you were useful, as long as they could pretend you were tamed
But you are wildfire, and you could never hide your true nature for long.

Tonight, you overstepped
Revealed too much truth
Stripped away the pretty picture they had painted of you
Forced them to come to terms with the messy whole of you

FUCK THEIR EXPECTATIONS

You saw it in their eyes the moment it happened
Saw the fury that burned their tenuous goodwill to ashes

They'll never forgive you
So now you run, hoping that you can gather enough scraps of good will to build a shelter against the storm of their rage.

Because you will not like what they have in mind for you if they catch you...
