OkCryptid v1.1 (Traits Tables Fix)


Good afternoon! A few days ago, this game was played live on The Wintry Wyvern's channel along with the great Cat of Peach Garden Games to promote the Solo But Not Alone 3 bundle (By the way, if you're reading this because you got the game through that bundle, thanks for supporting a wonderful cause!). While watching the VOD back later, I noticed Cat and Wintry having some confusion of the table of Creature Traits.

This makes perfect sense, as when I looked at it later it turned out I had made a completely nonsensical and unusable D66 table. Frankly, it's incredible that this is the first time this has been brought to my attention.

In any case, I considered some different fixes, and I found the most favorable thing would be to update and expand the table to be two D66 tables. Table 1 deals with physical, bodily traits while Table 2 is behavioral, social, and supernatural traits. Apologies if you've ever played the game and run into any frustration caused by this weird oversight on my part! The text-only and print-friendly versions of the game doc still need to be updated in this way, which hopefully I'll get to within the next couple of days.

While I'm writing this, I'm thinking about something that really struck me in Cat and Wintry's playthrough of the game. Whenever I've played it with friends, we tend to be playing as characters who are mostly focused on the Creature itself, and our interest in it. This game felt like it was more about the relationship between the two characters and their family, with their search for the Creature as a kind of backdrop and setting for that story. I found it really touching and interesting, and I appreciate so much how different people structure their stories in unique ways.

Anyway, you should absolutely check out the playthrough right here. It's a lot of fun!

Thanks, and I hope you get some use out of the new and improved tables!
