Hello! I’m an elementary educator and was wondering if I could get a community copy of this to adapt into solo journaling to encourage my struggling readers to read and write. Thanks! The game looks amazing!
Dear Ben, I was really pumped up and ready to dig into your work in order to play with my nephews and nieces at their forthcoming party, especially after reading the review of TTRPGkids and checking the "Role for Good" video. But 23.5 euros (+VAT) for an indie TTRPG seems too much in the eyes of an average greek role-player, I will just have to wait for more community copies or a discount on the core game. Keep it up and thanks for the inspiration :)
Hi! I’m really happy to hear you’re excited for my game :) if you DM me on Twitter (@bennewbon) or pop me an email [my full name] @gmail.com, I’ll be more than happy to gift you a copy :)
I don't have an extensive review of this game but it's certainly creative. It's something of a simplified RPG system, which in combination with the semi-cartoonish subject matter makes it ideal for younger players. My biggest criticism would be less with the rules themselves and more with the layout of the book; stuff just kind of is wherever it is, not being really organized at all, and that can make it difficult to look up specific rules at any given time, or require a lot of scrolling.
Don't get me wrong here. The document is short and the rules are simple, so this isn't a huge deal, but it merits mentioning. The unusual subject matter and limitless potential of this system definitely make it one heck of a sandbox to play in.
Thanks for this :) it’s rare to get proper feedback, so really appreciate that. Layout is certainly something I struggled with but hopefully this is a little bit helped by the rules reference included with the character sheet. Next project I hope to be able to afford a proper layout person!
My full review on the TTRPGkids blog is linked below, but the short version is... I played Overgrown with my kid and had a blast! You should definitely try it out and support a cool new all-ages friendly game!
