Very cool!  I love choose your own adventure games!  Text was a bit small and hard to read but awesome job.  Not sure how it fits the theme 

This game is a huge stretch to fit the theme (really has nothing to do with dice). The minimap and text rendering are nice (although mine is also cut-off in browser mode). I went north and "talked" with Milon Yewcourt, but my interaction ended immediately when he said "Evening". Is there something I'm supposed to type in response? I tried many things, but it just kept kicking me back out the stage screen. Retyping his entire name every time was very tedious as well

The browser window size is wong for the game size so the text is cut off on the edges. It would be nice if there was some shortcuts available like typing "e" to mean "east" is very common in these text adventure games. 

Its a good concept, with some quality of life improvements this could be great.
