Hi! Thanks for the new issue!
I have noticed a few typos, in case you are still on time to correct them:
- page 6, chapter Asking the Question, in the second paragraph: “Its simple and can be answer with random tables.”. It should be “answered”.
- page 7, chapter Asking the Question, in the last paragraph of the left column: “More often than nought”. It should be “not”.
- page 7, chapter Asking the Question, in the last paragraph of the left column: “Keep answers you like and mark off ones you dont.”. It should be “don’t”.
- page 17, table of NPCs at the right: “Sabatoge”. It should be “Sabotage”.
- page 17, table of gossips: “Supernatural. Crewmembers effected by the recent solar flares”. It should be “affected”.
- page 18, table of creature behaviors: “…as its head slowly moves to and fro, looking at things unseen.”. It should be “from”.
Thanks again. I have liked the key-lock adventure and its random tables.
Nuts!
You are the best. Thanks so much for pointing those out. A few always seem to sneak by me no matter how much proofreading I do. I’ll jump in tomorrow to correct and reupload.
Really glad you enjoyed the key-lock. I test ran this current issue’s using Death In Space and had a blast. I actually ended up adding the third page of tables at the last minute.
Glad to help! Just a question: at the beginning of the issue you say:
“Over the last couple weeks there has been a change of vision as it relates to the zine’s design and path forward. If you read the biweekly posts then you're already familiar with this news.”.
Where can I find those posts? Do you have a blog?
Thanks.
Great question. I actually have been posting a biweekly update that should appear under the Developer Logs area of itch.io. I believe if you follow me you will find all the posts there.
I have been following you for 53 days and I cannot see your posts in the developer logs. I also normally receive an email when someone I follow writes something… Could you please share a link to your latest post? Thanks
That’s so weird. I’ll look into why it isn’t coming across your feed. But here is the most recent post.

From some google searching it appears that posts are listing under Feed --> My Feed --> Posts, instead of under dev logs. And it seems as if there is some discussion around getting these moved to somewhere more visible.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. For the sake of accessibility I might try and move my biweekly updates somewhere else.
