Great game! This was a lot of fun to check out, and I appreciated the humor in the spells and creatures (the goats and "elves" in particular)! I've got a full review on TTRPGkids linked here, and I can't wait to see more from you all! https://www.ttrpgkids.com/2024/02/01/review-of-yeld-a-magical-ttrpg-full-of-adventure/

Absolutely love this game, is there any chance for a Collection of previous PDF only content of Yeld in Print Format?

(Or even a print version of previously released gamelines from you all?)

Either way, I can't wait to see y'alls next release!

Thanks. We're considering releasing some of that exclusive and PDF only Yeld content in different formats next year. We also may re-release some of our older games (like the Atarashi High School games) in the future. We love these games and would love to revise them, but doing so is a big time investment.

No. Thanks for asking, but Yeld is intended to be a color product. We consider a black and white text only version at some point, but that's not on our to-do list right now.

Would it be possible to get a printer-friendly or form-fillable pdf of the character sheet pack? The b&w version is not possible to use unless you have a gel pen or paint marker, and the green one is still hard to read in pencil for most of my crew. Thanks in advance!

Well... its something we're considering. If we do a hardcover it will probably be next year, with our original printer. And we'd probably do it through a Kickstarter. In the meantime we offer a really nice softcover through the Modest Medusa store and IPR. The softcover you can order here is also perfectly serviceable (although I like our original version better).

Is this game aimed at kids or at adults to play as kids?
Reply

Jake A March 08, 2019 10:10 pm UTC

Both. Playing a young hero is fun no matter what age you are! We've designed Yeld to be easy to learn and play and to appeal both to kids who are just discovering fantasy role playing and adults who are already familiar with role playing games.

Say, could the prior mini-pdf, titled "The Magical Land of Yeld: Mermaid Hunters" be included with this work? I heard of this mini-download, but it became unavailable, and I wasn't sure why.

Hey Andrew, thanks for asking about Mermaid Hunters. We're reworking it to be a better introduction to the game as well as a standalone mini game on its own. We plan to have it available again later this spring.

A pity your store only ships to the US. And a PDF for 14€ which apparently (from the comments and ratings) doesn't even have bookmarks? I guess I'll have to pass. Maybe some other time when there's a sale or the price drops.

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I just checked and they already have it, but sadly, cheapest shipping is a bloody 50$. Again, a pity.

Any particular reason why you don't offer PoD here on DTRPG?

International shipping is a bear. We need to look into a European distributor. We decided not to use POD here because I wasn't happy with the print quality. It was acceptable, but we wanted to produce a really high quality book with hundreds of illustrations and comics, so having really top of the line printing and paper was important to us.

Thanks for your interest. Hopefully we'll be able to find a way to deliver books to international customers without the extremely expensive postage cost.

I had never heard of Yeld or Modest Medusa until the 'deal of the day' sale last week. Since then I've become a fan.

Enough that I know I'll want a printed copy if it becomes available.

If I purchased the PDF now could that be applied to the price of the POD or should I just wait?

Thanks!

Hi Michael. Thanks for checking out both Yeld and Modest Medusa! We will be offering the book in print later this year. We have the book on hand now and are in the middle of shipping them to Kickstarter backers, so after that they'll be available for sale from the Modest Medusa store and IPR.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your sample comic happens to have a typo on it. Bottom left panel, fifth to last word, fifth letter. Happens to everyone. Just figured you might want to know.

There's a typo in the product description too: "Where children can become heros..." should be spelled "heroes". (Hopefully it's spelled correctly in the game itself.) And in the comic, "effect" should be "affect".

On a different note, I expect a preview to give some idea of how the game plays -- what dice mechanic is used, what races and classes are available, etc.. This one is pretty useless in that regard. A copy of the character sheet is nice, but five nearly-identical copies in a 15-page preview is a waste of space. And the last four pages are just grids!

Thanks for the correction. I'm not sure why the PDF preview is showing the last 20 pages of the game instead of the first 20. It wasn't doing that before, and it currently isn't set to do that. I've disabled the PDF preview until I can figure out what the problem is.

Will there eventually be a PoD option available? I know backers have yet to receive their books, and I think it would be fair for them to get their copies first. However, I completely missed out on the KS campaign and I would eventually like to own a printed copy after seeing the pics on the KS page.

Also, are there any reviews available? I cannot seem to find one.

I haven't seen any reviews yet either. Eagerly waiting.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
