[Against the Wind] An impromptu session & overview

[@capacle]

What a thoughtful and generous review! Thank you so much for spotlighting my game!

[@AmazingAaxor]

Of course! It’s a pleasure to play it as well. 👍🏽

[@aresaurelian]

The artwork is exquisite (1:1 to vision, unbelievably well made), and the free game style is enabling our imagination to run wild against the wind. These tables can be used in storytelling. It is a treasure Missing the stowaway and the lost passenger in the sea person encounter.

[@OblivioncubedSolo]

Very cool! I definitely can see the parallels to some of how Starforged works. I love that it has that little mapping mechanic too, that's very fun!

[@AmazingAaxor]

I enjoyed the mapping part more than I thought- as it’s pretty simple. But a welcome addition to the game for sure. 👍🏽

Thanks for this video! I can't quit figure out where/how to get Print / POD copies?

[@AmazingAaxor]

I got mine through backing it on a crowdfunding campaign. It was an at-cost voucher. If you contact the creator they might know more if they offer print copies anymore.

[@redbaronlast]

@@AmazingAaxor Thank you!

[@HeadHunterSix]

Thanks for the look at the game - I just picked it up. I've been a big fan of Cezar's work (btw it's pronounced kuh-POCK-lay if it helps)

[@AmazingAaxor]

Thanks for the pronunciation tips. I’m horrible with names.

[@HeadHunterSix]

@@AmazingAaxor in fairness, I had difficulty with it at first, too, until I heard Cezar pronounce it. BTW, if you ever cover Ultraviolet Grasslands or Synthetic Dream Machine, Luka pronounces his last name "RAY-ets". That's a tricky one.

[@AmazingAaxor]

Funny you mention UVG … 😌

[@ChubbyFunster-YT]

I hope you enjoy ShadowSun!

[@AmazingAaxor]

I’m sure I will! Loved my 4e Dark Sun books- and am looking forward to utilizing your tome for Shadowdark!

[@AmazingAaxor]

It was indeed a chilly adventure. 👍🏽

[@Switch013]

Really enjoyed this overview. This game looks really well thought out, well written, and flavorful. While I certainly love to see tiny rpgs full of newly commissioned artwork, that's not always possible, and I love the use of Kay Nielson art in this book!

[@AmazingAaxor]

Thanks. The rulebook is indeed very nice. The art they used definitely adds to its charm as well. Hadn’t heard/seen of Kay Nielsen before either. Such a treat.

[@huckleberrycarignan9745]

Where can I obtain copy of this?

[@AmazingAaxor]

I purchased it through the authors page on Itch.io. Search Against the Wind or Cezar Capacle and you should find it.

[@JSilas50]

This game sounds really good. I'll definitely check it out

[@AmazingAaxor]

Definitely do! Glad I can give some (albeit biased) insight into the game for the hobby.

[@JSilas50]

Yeah! I've played a lot of Ironsworn, and I like the streamlined mechanics and emphasis on storytelling, so a twist on it sounds really appealing@@AmazingAaxor
