Zero Summer Discussion Thread

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

I finally managed to earn the 2500 rep to buy ‘A Card From The Ashling’.
I drew The Mirror and was wondering if anyone else had bought this and what card they drew.
Edit:I just found out it unlocks a new avatar as well.

I’ve got enough Reputation to buy it, but it’s a lot to spend without knowing what it’s for. Are you happy with whatever The Mirror card you got does?

An excellent question. To which the answer will be slow in coming but, be assured, deeply fulfilling.

Are you propositioning me sir? ;)

Anyway, I’m sure my twitchy ADD fingers will end up clicking on it sooner or later, I hate not knowing what everything does :)

How FORWARD! :)

I do hope I haven’t missed anything- I’m fairly sure that I’ve done everything I can do so far, exploring all the pinned cards and such (with the possible caveat of a few failures at summer house), but I’ve not seen anything called Hallowed Grounds. Did I completely miss something in a previous time segment?

rykarmalkus: howdy! Hallowed Ground is one of Zero Summer’s three subplots, of which you can only choose two. Are you having a problem advancing? Or are you just wondering what on earth Hallowed Ground is? :)

Howdy thar,

I bought the Commanche dreamcatcher earlier today (100 Rep item, described as giving me +1 Doc from all grind branches). I equipped it in the guest bedroom and tried it out with a bunch of opportunity cards.

I don’t think it’s working, or certainly not as expected. I’ve seen just one grind card response that had an extra “Doc is increasing”, but all other grind cards seem to behave the same as before the item, whether success or failure, whichever style they test. I did wonder if it was an invisible increase but my Doc stat (24, so not maxed out) doesn’t seem to have increased since.

Any chance of a bug fix, or a clarification about what the item’s meant to do, if I misunderstood it?

Character name is Ridiculo. Thanks.

Thanks for the bug report Suitov! Sorry for the trouble. We’ve issued a card that should fix the problem. Please let us know if you’re still having trouble. Have a good one!

Wow, talk about quick work! That’s awesome.

Many thanks for all your work on ZS. It’s uniquely atmospheric, even among StoryNexus worlds where the standard is so high.

Thanks for the kind words! I had a pretty good idea there was a bug in that functionality somewhere. You just gave me a good excuse to find it. :)

Should the fix remove the old dreamcatcher?

Yep – fixed that. Thanks again. :)

I should probably fess up to having, ahem, thoroughly playtested the bugged bugfix. :)

Consider it a finder’s fee!

Hey Gordon!

Is there a way I can restart Zero Summer? I didn’t get far when I played it last year, and I would guess it’s changed a lot…even if it hasn’t I would love to remind myself what’s going on.

Hanon: there’s a reset-your-character option in the Guest Room at Burrow and Briar, which can be accessed from Burrow and Briar. :)

Hey guys,

I didn’t read the thread yet, but on Day 1 Evening, I get the ‘Connecting with Tall Saul’ business card. It says “You need 1x Tall Saul’s Business Card (You have 0)”. I previously handed the card to some guy etc. Now the card is in my cards, but I can’t click on it to play it or clear it. This is a bug report

Hello Garcia1000! Thanks for dropping in with the bug report.

I know what your problem is and how to fix it (an oversight on our part, mea culpa), but I’ll need your character name in order to properly adjust your Qualities.

Hi that’s fine I am already on Day 2!
