Oh, this is a lovely one. I really enjoyed your mechanic of using the number and face cards for different types of prompts, but combining them together to fill out a log entry. I think this creates a sense of variety because things can combine in all different ways, and these prompts are open-ended enough that they do feel combinable in this way. I particularly like how you addressed pacing - increasing the number of face cards per entry, therefore increasing the complications, is a really neat way to capture the panic-mode of "everything is going wrong!" It almost makes me want to simultaneously decrease the number of other cards drawn to make the log entries shorter and even more skewed towards the impending disaster.
You absolutely can do that. Depending on how chaotic and short you want your voyage to be. And the jokers really give you that sense of a ticking clock. Once you draw that first one, you know it’s only a matter of time… ⌛️☠️
This is a fun game! I think you did a great job with the prompts, striking a nice balance between guiding the story creation without stifling the creativity.
This reminds me of Bucket of Bolts a little, and that's a good thing... as a die hard brown coat I'm always down for games with this type of setup, and I really like how you've used the joker as a way to move the story along and give the players an ending, which is sometimes missing in these one page rpgs... overall well done!
Wow! I thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I was not familiar with Bucket of Bolts, but I just checked it out and it looks AWESOME! I'm also interested in the creator’s previous game, Artifact, that it's based on. So thank you for introducing me to two brand new games that I'll definitely be adding to my collection.
Hey Omar. I don’t have a picture for anything called Crustpunk dungeons. Haha. But if by chance this was a copy/paste mistake, you’re more then welcome to my picture for your article.
Hey thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words. Sorry for the delayed response. I've been distracted with creating my second submission that I will hopefully drop this weekend.

The graphic design is lovely, and I like how simple yet evocative the prompts are. Plus really appreciate the cutting/folding guide for the pamphlet!
Wow! Thanks so much! I really appreciate that.

I liked this. The page format is interesting and might be useful for hiding a twist somehow. Looks very cool when it's all put together.
