Heck yeah, I love the turkey hand character sheet! That is such a good way to set the mood of Thanksgiving and being with family. This is a super fun concept and the game looks very entertaining.

I like when games use something new (or not thought of) as a way of playing an RPG. I have tried rock-paper-scissors formats a few times, but I never thought of tracing your hand (like some of us did as kids) to use as the character sheet and remind us of our childhood turkey art.
I was a bit confused by the gameplay at first, but it was due to not understanding the system. After some research, I understood the mechanics and enjoyed the experience. I’d love to see a Christmas version as it kind of reminded me of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
Great entry!

Monster Cake BundterLet me start by saying CONGRATS on publishing your first game, and for a time limited, prompt inspired jam. Challenge well met!
This had me cracking up. The turkey hand character sheet is a really clever idea, and I love your quirky examples. It does a great job setting the scene and vibe of the game.
I’ve previously read through the “This Game Takes Place Anywhere!” SRD and you did a nice job with your own spin on it!

I like the character sheet, the mobile data as a resource (bc for sure we need it in these types of parties - we don’t have Thanksgiving here in Brazil, so I’m visualizing everything as similar to a Christmas party I hope it is not too different??), the encouragement to get failed results (very interesting!! I love when things get possible chaotic 😂😂), and the ‘what the hell is this doing here’ move, again, seems a good incentive to make funny scenarios! Very nice game, good work ✨✨

The Cook Fighter ShowLove the "turkey hand" character sheet. This game is going for a similar theme I was trying to address in mine, of interpersonal conflict at large communal meals. I'm not sure I understand the Mobile Data economy; do players start with any Mobile Data, or do you have to forget a skill or deliberately fail a roll to get even one? That seems a bit harsh.

Dungeon PotluckThis little game has a such a fun and evocative atmosphere. It really conveys the feelings of a big family event where your grandparents' house feels so small and so huge at the same time, it's a really good piece of writing.
