Congrats on getting a RPG done in 48! I had a few thoughts while reading:

  • Really like the concept of being the shopkeepers / equippers of the adventurers. And it's fun that the shopkeepers think they know better than them. That's a fun idea.
  • I would call the adventurers heroes instead. Then you don't end up with phrasing like "adventurers on their adventures". Makes it less clunky.
  • I would have liked more of the system to focus on the shopkeepers. Right now, it focuses on the adventurers which I don't think is the interesting part of your game.
  • Good job on those recipe tables! You packed a ton of content into them for the short time!

Again nice job! If you do continue on with the classes, you should add a general goods shopkeeper. I'm curious what you could do with some mundane items...

Thank you for the feedback.

I do agree that the focus became less on the players and more on the heroes. 

I am not sure if I am goig to continue this as a roleplaying game. My programming skills are a bit rusty, so I might make this into a rescorce management game of some sort.

I had plans of also making enchanter, merchant and jeweler as playable classes. I just didn't have the time to make another one.

Again thank you for the awesome feedback. I might not have come to these conclutions as fast if not for you. :)

Ohhhhhh! This would be a great board game! Comedy fantasy games are very popular. You should totally do that, regardless of whether or not you continue with the RPG as well.

You are most welcome!
