omg this looks so cool!!! anything that has to do with the southern reach trilogy is instantly a favorite by me. i hope there will be a community copy avaliable so i can see the whole thing!!! u are very cool Alfred Valley!!!
My go-to recommend when I'm asked about solo RPGs. Truly, this should be on every list of "great solo games". Alfred Valley is an absolute TRAILBLAZER. I wrote a design review and mechanical walkthrough of this game! It can be found HERE.
I haven't had a chance to play the game just yet but I started to build my world using the questions provided along with the oracle. Hopefully soon I will begin play. This zine is highly inspirational. Heck the oracle alone would be a great addition for anyone running games.
I've started this yesterday and I'm really loving it! You did such an excellent job creating a specific atmosphere while also leaving it open-ended enough so that the player feels like they have creative control.
Also, it's very beautifully presented and the overall aesthetic is *chefs kiss*!
You guys are doing a great job with your games. Lay On Hands has a concept that seems cliché, but it works very well in this game proposal. Keep toasting us with games like this
"Lay on Hands is quickly becoming my favorite solo RPG. For a lot of reasons. The oracle is honestly perfect. I feel it's one of those open ended oriented tools that really works and doesn't leave you in a silent confusion. Each result have a lot of possible outcomes in it's numbers and words. Very very good.
I love to spin the coin and try the labyrinth challenge. It's so hard and because of that so good. It's really a challenge and this helps you being present while playing it. Speaking of it, the clock works amazingly well helping you seeing the passage of in-game time. Below are the drawings from the Pilot episode of my Lay on hands game. I'm having tons of fun!"
i bought a physical at the cat store-do i get a PDF copy as well or is it something i need to re-buy if i want it? Looks like a cool game...also credit to Dave Thaumavore for driving me this way BTW. excited to get it!
Very good game. Well done, this is basically perfect! I especially like the oracle system and unique artwork. Can't wait for the SRD and jam! (finally a system I want to use to create my first game)

Hands down one of the best solo games that I've played.
Skill test is truly unique and engaging.
I want to see this game in every short list of "solo games to try out", because damn, it should be.
Thank you very much, it means a lot!
Hello, I just stumbled across this actual play session of your system on my youtube recommendations, which got me really intrigued.
I was about to purchase it when I saw you were offering community copies whenever you saw an actual play of the game. Any chance that still stands?Thanks for pointing this out! Adding more community copies.
Cheers!
any chance for more community copies?

This is such a delight to read and to play. Can't wait to see more games from you!
Wrote a brief review of it for our blog - https://podofblunders.com/2022/01/28/lay-on-hands/

That means a lot to me, thank you.
No no dude, thank YOU!
This looks very interesting. Any chance you can enable card payments?
Thanks for showing interest and thanks for the heads up! That’s hopefully enabled now.
Thanks! It works now.
