Hi Itch fans! I just wanted to share some recent updates I made to the rules of Abnormal Things based on a recent campaign I played, and feedback from some kind folks from Italy who did a big writeup of the game (you can read it here: https://dungeonwords.blogspot.com/2021/06/abnormal-things-una-tranquilla-giocata...). The changes are as follows:

• Made some edits to Witness character creation to make it clearer earlier that you can be any age, also replaced sex life with love life to make it work better for younger characters.
• Changed Search For Meaning to be successful on a roll of less than or equal to the number of fragments on the card. This makes it more useful in early game, when it narratively makes sense for people to be searching for meaning. It also makes it possible to remove a single fragment.
• Changed the Spread Horror action to add that you describe how the influence of the manifestation is affecting the rest of the town in a way similar to your witness character. This ties the horror actions to the increased importance of the town in Abnormal Things.
• Added some extra advice for the horror player at the end of the horror section. Basically to encourage the use of the narrative techniques splitting the party, putting characters alone together whose relationships are under established,  creating tonal dissonance for horror reasons, and asking the witness player lots of questions about their thoughts, feelings, and  actions.
• Removed the ability to choose to place tokens on certain cards, to balance some things that made the game too easy. Now it's all random and feral.

Also here's a picture of the map of our town from that campaign.

Let me know what you think of the changes. I always love hearing stories from people's games. Have fun playing!
