Dear gatesphere,

I understand there may be some concerns regarding the use of AI-assisted art in our recent product. Our designers have their own individual creative process, and we aim to encourage them in any way possible.

Regarding the specific images highlighted, I have followed up with the artists involved. They explained that they used AI as an assistive tool during the design process, not to fully generate or replace their work. There were some oversights in reviewing the final pieces, which they sincerely apologize for and we will address in the next revision of Solitaria as soon as possible.

For the text, I can confirm we did not utilize any AI. As our team is based in Japan and mostly southeast asia, translating concepts across languages can introduce inconsistencies, which we will continue working diligently to smooth out. As a non-native English company, we put care into translations and adaptations, though phrasing may occasionally seem unnatural. If any AI-generated elements caused disappointment, please accept our sincere apology. 

We value feedback from this community. However, some prior discussions around this issue infringed on our guidelines, necessitating removal.

If the presence of AI-assisted art remains a substantial concern, please let us know and we will look into alternative options or refunds. Our goal is to find solutions that make our products enjoyable for all. Thank you for understanding - I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

And from our team, we want to wish you a Happy Chinese New Year.

You can contact us through sparuh.com@gmail.com.

Thank you for reaching out, and no need to apologize for your English—it's perfectly fine! 馃槉 I appreciate your question about character creation in our TTRPG.

I appreciate your inquiry about our TTRPG's character creation process. Let me provide some clarity:

You start with 3 traits, and that also serves as the initial cap for traits.

When creating your character's traits, you have a couple of approaches:

  1. Customized Approach: Intentionally select and assign 3 traits that align with your character concept. This allows for a more personalized and specialized character build.
  2. Random Approach: If you're feeling adventurous, shuffle the trait deck and draw 3 cards randomly. This introduces an element of surprise and randomness to your character's traits.

As for skills, they need to be acquired through purchase and are not activated from the beginning. 

It's important to note that even though you start with 3 traits, you won't be able to use the skills within those traits until you purchase and activate them. Skills require a bit of investment, but it opens up exciting possibilities for your character's development.

If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! I'm here to assist you on your TTRPG journey. 馃槉

Thanks! We'll check out your account and tag you once we've posted it!

Yes, you will be able to get the pdf copy once you've purchased the paperback version on our website, itch, or gumroad. We've also updated the latest paperback version with version 1.2.4.2.

We are currently updating the older games' art and copywriting at the moment. As for the pre-gen characters, we will release it after Halloween around Christmas season as part of the playkit along with the printables and character sheets. Which you can download and print yourself.

Hi, disgruntled_traveler! The current version on Amazon is version 1.2.4.2.

We found the culprit. Just saw in a small print, "Standard colour is not available on Amazon.co.jp or Amazon.com.au. If selected, your book won't be printed in those marketplaces."

We'll look into it and maybe create a different version of paperback or hardcover. We're still working through the details but maybe premium colors would work. Anyway, we will let you know if there are any updates regarding this. We might use another publisher like Lulu too.

Hi. I believe we've found the reason why it says that it's not in stock. Because in amazon we've just received this: 

  • Availability. It takes up to 3 days for Amazon.com and up to 5 days for other marketplaces to show as in stock.

So it might take a little while before Amazon shows it as in stock.
