First, thank you and the community for offering a community copy. Other than my financial situation, this was my first time playing RPG in my second language so I was unsure if I was ready. I'm planning to buy a direct copy when my funds are ready so I can offer one too.
I really enjoyed the expirience, more than my expectations. It reminded me that I liked writing using writing prompts, which I kind of forgot while being busy with life.
I am from Japan and was familiar with works of Ghibli from a young age so the settings came in naturally. I thought the balance was really good on the directions, or guide on what to do was clear while having freedom in play.
Also thanks for providing a printer friendly version, most times shipping costs more than physical copies of works and I like to show and tell people what I'm currently into atm so being able to print saving ink really helped.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Grimoire :) . It's good to know that the printer-friendly version is helpful for you!
I'm happy to hear Grimoire helped remind you about your enjoyment for writing using writing prompts too. It took a great deal of time to write these prompts and balance them, so I'm always happy to hear that people like the prompts!
If you've enjoyed Grimoire, there are plenty of other great solo rpgs which use writing prompts too such as Cartograph or Thousand Year Old Vampire here on itch.
Hello! First of all, kudos for adding to the Palestine bundle!
I had a read through and am setting up my first wizard, and I have a few observations...
1. The values and goals table on page 10 jumps from 36 to 41, so I'm thinking there's a mix up there (luckily it's not hard to just reroll)
2. The instructions for goals seem to imply that there's more than one location, but there's only the city of Athanasia. Is there supposed to be more, or are they only in the expansion (which I totally intend to get regardless)? This confused me for a while XD
Well done on the game though! I'm looking forward to getting right into it!
Thanks for your message and for supporting the Palestine bundle! I really hope you find some joy in Grimoire :) .
As for your observations:
1. The table is a d66 table, so it is designed to have 2 6-sided dice rolled with the first giving a tens value and the second giving a units value, much like a d100 would be rolled with 2 10-sided dice. E.g. a 4 and a 1 on 2d6 would give a result of 41. I think I'll clarify this in any future versions or updates to Grimoire, so thank you for highlighting it!
2. And this is another element I'll highlight to help avoid confusion. It does imply multiple locations due to the expansion a d possible future expansions. So sorry for the confusion!
"Respond to each quest prompt generated by the cards in that spell from left to right using the suit and rank on the quest prompt tables."
I first interpreted this as 'do all the prompts for all the cards.' Which killed my first wizard very quickly! I now just do the first prompt for each card, and if that card was done before, move on to the next prompt for that card. Which way is the right way in your opinion as the creator?
Yep! This sentence is referring to the row of cards you will create as you develop your spell, so each card will provide a prompt. For a particular card, you always use the first prompt, and when you generate a prompt again from that card you then move to the second prompt :) . I hope that makes sense!
If I'm understanding bonds correctly, it's a huge game mechanic that should never be used.
You start the game with four bonds. I think that means one of each suit, though the book doesn't ever seem to say that. It looks like you can never have more than four bonds. The only ways to get new bonds is to replace existing bonds.
The starting bonds seem roughly balanced. Hearts remove a wound, Diamonds gain a coin. Spades gain a wound. Clubs gain a wound or remove two coin. Pretty much balanced. Near the beginning of the game, it's 50/50 whether I gain or lose.
Since the Heal action exchanges a coin to remove a wound, it's pretty much always a bad deal to take the club option to pay two coin to avoid taking a wound. The only reason I would want to do that is if the only other option is death, in which case I probably should have healed instead of consorting ... unless I have zero coins, in which case I should Perform because losing a few cards is better than a 1 (or 2) in 4 chance of death.
Once I resolve spades, I can gain three coin. But resolving spades means taking three wounds, which costs three coin to heal, so it's not really much of an incentive.
If I take three wounds at once, it's game over. So I never want to consort with two wounds, unless spades (and probably clubs as well) are resolved.
If I'm fully healed, and I draw a heart, that's wasted. So I may want to consort fully healed for coin, but it's not worth as much as consorting with exactly one wound.
If I replace a bond, the Glinting Idol is the only replacement that is better than the original. (I think the Cordial Person is still subject to the normal clubs rules?) Two of other replacements make consorting (already close to 50/50) an even worse deal. And even the Glinting Idol isn't that good, because it heals two wounds, and I almost never want to consort if I have two wounds, because drawing a spade (or possibly a club) will kill me.
It just seems like I would almost never want to consort, except under very specific conditions:
1. I have exactly 1 wound (unless I have the People’s Militia) and I would rather risk inflicting a second wound than spend a coin. And the odds are not good, unless either spades or clubs is resolved.
2. I have zero wounds, and I'm willing to take a wound or two on the off chance that I might get a coin.
3. I have two wounds and spades and clubs are resolved. (And I do not have the Horned Wizard.)
4. I have two wounds, and the deck is so low that I'm pretty sure there's better than 1 (or 2) in 4 odds of ending the game.
So basically I don't want to consort unless bonds are resolved (which won't happen if I don't consort) or I'm really desperate.
It just feels like one of the core actions is something that I'll probably go many games without using.
The consort action is a very risky action which may not always be the best option, but then again, sometimes you need that coin and don't want to risk losing progress on your spell or some other desperate situation you have laid out on your comment.
Though, I will clarify that you should be replacing bonds when they're exhausted, so it is always a 50/50 chance of a positive or negative outcome when taking the consort action.
Additionally:
Bonds are assigned to each suit (page. 10).
Cordial Person does act as a clubs bond with some the same consequences when they're encountered.
It reads like you have a great winning strategy for Grimoire! I hope you're still able to enjoy the game :) . The bond mechanism is something I would likely change when I revisit Grimoire, not because it's filled with risk, but because I would want to make Grimoire be a less oppressive and difficult game mechanically.
Hello! This is my first solo rpg and I'm glad for a strong start to the hobby! I have a rules question. Do the face cards that start a spell set count as cards added to a spell for the purposes of the Perform action? For example: if I just have the initial face card from set up (a King of Clubs) and I take the Perform action and draw the Two of Clubs, must I then discard the King of Clubs?
Welcome to solo roleplaying! I'm honored you have chosen Grimoire to be your first solo RPG :) .
Great question! The face card would not count because it is not considered a card added to a spell. The spell doesn't exist until that face card is in play. So, breathe a sigh of relief, Bristle! Haha.
I hope you enjoy your time with Grimoire! I hope this answers your question, and if you have any more then feel free to reach out :) .
This game is so interesting to me! I'd love to play it, but unfortunately I'm not in a great spot financially these days, haha...hopefully this isn't rude to ask, but is there a chance of any more community copies becoming available soon? If not, thanks anyway!
Hey there! I have been thoroughly enjoying the game so much, and I love the story telling mechanics used. I just have a couple of inquiries about different parts of the game:
First is the offering. I'm not exactly sure what the game means by deciding an offering for a spell. Is it similar to spell components in dnd?
And secondly, when questing, the rules for it state that "If you have responded to all prompts for a particular card, discard that card. If that card was the face card, discard the set after responding to the remaining prompts" but none of the prompts offered in the list have a face value. How would this work?
Thank you for reading and thank you for the hard work you put into making this game.
I am very happy to hear that you have been enjoying GRIMOIRE :) .
For the offering of a spell, you can think of them as spell components in DnD, but they also include strange behaviours or rituals you might have to do. It is really there to add some flavour to the spells and consider what might be necessary for balance if you were to port the spell to another system that has such requirements on magic.
Unfortunately your second point has stumbled on an old rule left over from an early version of the game. I had thought I found them all! You can safely ignore the removal of face cards due to this rule and it will not impact the game.
I hope this clears things up for you and thank you so much for reaching out! If you have any more questions, suggestions, or suggestions, I am always eager to hear them :) .
So I emailed this morning due to a slight issue I had- I meant to buy this game and the expansion to it but accidentally bought the base copy twice instead. I was emailing to see if I could get a refund on the base game so I could buy the expansion, or if you could just give me access to the expansion since it adds up to me essentially just paying an extra $2 instead. I only leave this message here since I don't know how your notifications are set up. That being said- I've enjoyed looking over my copy (or copies?) of Grimoire! It's been a great read and I can't wait to have the expansion so I can sit down and play- it has the best vibes for this spooky season!
Thank you so much! I really love how you incorporated some of your journaling throughout the post. Very well written and I am glad you enjoyed your time with GRIMOIRE!
Question - on p24, under the 'discover' action, it says "A player may have as many spells under research at a time which can help research be a less risky undertaking."
Is that meant to simply read, a player can have many spells etc. etc. (no as many), or is there meant to be a number/comparison (as many spells as something)?
That is definitely a typo! It should not be a comparison. A player can have multiple spell sets.
Thank you for taking the time to bring this to my attention. I am in the process of updating the file with the various typos I have collated over these past few months.
Oh, brilliant. Thanks for the clarification! :) I'm just on the creating a wizard part now but I'm going ot start a play-through this week. Looking fwd to it :)
Grimoire is a solo adventuring roleplaying game about being a wizard compiling a grimoire. The grimoire that you compile can also be adapted for use in other rpgs, making this one of the rare games that directly encourages content creation for other systems.
Grimoire's PDF is 60 pages, with a layout that feels like an old tome. There's a lot of visual variety and some nice illustrations, and it's really pleasant to look at. The text *is* ever so slightly difficult to read, but I'm not sure this is a bad thing. Taking your time and poring over the words is thematically appropriate, and there weren't any sections that I struggled with.
Mechanics-wise, Grimoire is played with cards, dice, a journal, and any other book of your choice. The other book serves as a word bank, and is used to select keywords for spells.
Character creation is quick, creative, and story-based instead of stat-based. You define traits about yourself, and you define a goal, but you don't allocate any points to anything.
That said, it is possible to lose Grimoire. Gameplay involves navigating a deck of cards---some of which heal you and build your resources, others of which damage and impoverish you. Taking more than three damage kills you. And while you *can* use spells to nullify the effects of negative cards, doing so causes you to gain Corruption, which can also kill you. Furthermore, drawing jokers at any time can set you on a path towards death.
Thankfully, you do have a lot of control over the gamestate. The structure of the game is divided into turns, and during each turn you can select an action from a detailed list. Actions include things like beginning research on spells, encountering cards from the deck, spending coins to heal yourself, or burning cards from the deck for small amounts of coin.
Grimoire's central mechanic of spell research is also handled through actions, although it feels more detailed and procedural than the rest of the game. You start researching a spell by playing a face card, and then complete it by playing other cards equal to the Spell Point value of the face card. Go over, and the research fails. Succeed, and each card adds context to the spell, giving you a unique and detailed magical ability.
Examples are provided (as is a very helpful condensed rules reference,) but there is a somewhat arcane feeling to the process, and the game seems to intend for you to have multiple spells in progress at any given time, allowing you to shunt new cards over to spells they won't scuttle.
Overall, if you want a meaty solo game that will make you feel like a wizard, has a decently long runtime, and will generate spells that you can adapt to other game systems, I'd strongly recommend checking this out.
Hey! I want to run a game of Grimoire since it looks pretty amazing.
I'm having a problem understanding the flow of the game. The rules says I can either RESEARCH or QUEST. Quest gives prompts so I'm pretty clear on what I should do. The RESEARCH part however, only says that you spend 2 coins and make a new spell.
The question is: what use are the research location prompts then?
I have a theory but I don't know if I'm right. I thought that maybe when choosing RESEARCH you pick a card and react to the research location prompt. And then only when you have 7 cards can you spend 2 coins and get a new spell?
Thank you for taking the time to download and play GRIMOIRE - it means a lot to me :) .
Your theory is correct! However, I would like to clarify some things from the process for you here. As I am sure you are aware, the instructions for this part of the game are on page 17-20.
When you initiate the RESEARCH action you spend 2 Coin and draw ALL 7 cards to then arrange into the pattern.
Once you follow the procedure for determining the 'spell' and 'glyph' you randomly select 1 of the 7 cards you drew to determine the research location prompt to then respond to.
You can find an example of play of this section on page 18.
I hope this clears it up and allows you to play GRIMOIRE further! And keep an eye on this space for the overhauled systems (once I find time haha).

Thank you so much! I really love how you incorporated some of your journaling throughout the post. Very well written and I am glad you enjoyed your time with GRIMOIRE!
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to play GRIMOIRE!
I loved your narration of Burlak Steelstash's brief adventure and your ideas for conversion to DnD at the end were very cool :) .
And it was most definitely a magnificent moustache ;) .

I hope you have a good time with GRIMOIRE and keep an eye out for the free update to the .pdf in a couple of weeks :) .
Is there any chance this game might have Community Copies available?
I’m sorry if this was rude to ask. When turned into my country’s currency USD is terrifyingly expensive. Please ignore if I hurt your feelings.
Hi Bubblecandyfloss,
Thank you for your interest in GRIMOIRE :) . You have certainly not hurt my feelings but have reminded me that community copies are important!
I have added some community copies to the page so please feel free to claim one. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on GRIMOIRE :) .
Happy wizarding!
