I had a great time creating this game’s journal. Thanks, DP. It sparked a sense of nostalgia for the types of stories I used to write in high school. In case you were interested, I posted the play through on my solo role-playing blog, and you can read it here.
Oh this is delightful to see, thank you for sharing with me! It's always so cool when someone has fun with something I made. I'm glad you got to tell a hallmark story with this!
I’ve always thought that Carta can be done metaphorically for relationship-focused games, so I’m really happy to find this title among romance ttrpg I’ve been scouring. Will be playing soon, thank you for sharing!
Just checking, in the "Setting up the game" section, do you mean to say "separate out a pile of 28 cards" instead of 29? So that when you add the two Jokers, you get 30 cards?
I'm still finishing a playthrough of this game, and am having a lovely time with the prompts. I'll be honest, I (was one of the small portions of the population that) never understood the appeal of rivalries for a long time... so when I picked this up, I was hoping to expand my knowledge, and I did! So thank you!
As for criticism (if you want it!), I do think the most fun I had with this was using the prompts, and the questions at the beginning to flesh out the characters. I did change mine slightly since one character was blind, instead of "visually" attractive I was using "physically" attractive, so I could talk more about how the other character sounded and felt.
I would have liked, either in the setup or in the cards, for there to be more details or prompts about the setting that the characters were in. Even broader details would have made it easier to envision for myself.
Since I'm having too much fun with the prompts -- I love that there are second prompts for if you come around to them a second time -- I haven't had too much interest in the actual end of the game to see whether the characters end up together or not, but perhaps I'll have more to say once I get to that part of the game.
Thank you for building this game, and for reading!
