hey, I don't know if maybe its me needing a different way to open the pdf but for some reason the text on it appears invisible. It seems to be there since I can highlight and copy/paste onto a text document but just the text.
Wow, that's bizarre. Thank you for pointing it out. From doing a bit of reading it seems that Chrome (which I think you're using) is "not compliant with the PDF standards for displaying PDFs". I'm able to replicate the same problem when I try to view it using Chrome and so far I haven't been able to export the PDF in a way to get it to work as expected.
For the time being do you have a different application you can use to view the PDF?
I dont have another PDF reader rn but I can probably find one in due time and yea I use a browser based in chrome. It's extra weird since I have not seen this with any other PDF I've opened. Even did a quick test of my other files and they read fine. I only know so much myself but I guess somewhere along the pipeline it causes this. Tech is fun like that lol.
This reminds me of the "owl cave" symbol in Twin Peaks, which I was just reading about last week... I was curious about what other films/shows/books incorporate line symbols like it. So this came along at the perfect time to further spark my curiosity.
As an oracle-making procedure: you could collaboratively work through the process of building the oracle
Using the oracle you’ve made: you could incorporate this into a group game as something that inspires the GM, or as an in-universe thing.
As a lightweight folk-horror game: I don’t see why an experienced GM couldn’t take the details along with an oracle they’ve prepared and run players through an adventure. There are simple mechanics for resolving action but they could also choose to use the mechanics from another game and treat this text as an adventure module.
I’d be interested to hear about experiences of any of the above!

Yep great fun, ha! Send me a message via https://www.hausofvalley.com/contact and I can help you out.
this is genius in terms of design in general
Thank you!

As a Twin Peaks fan, I love this comparison!
Is it possible to use the rules for group play?
There are a few different ways to answer this!

That doesn't sound bad. I like the aesthetics of what I can see. I'll at least take a look at the game. If I use it in any way, I'll let you know.
Everything Alfred makes is worth owning, this included. It’s both extremely useful and delightfully creepy in a folk-horror-sort of way.
